This and that....

How can a person be busy in a town as small as Eureka?
I have tons of pictures I haven't posted because I've been "busy" :)
Are you prepared for an overload?
I tried to organize them so they are in some sort of order...
truth is there are a lot of pictures of just randomness.
A picture here...one there...you know how it is.

Category 1: Avery (because she's the littlest)

Naked (almost) and discovering that toes taste really good!
Photobucket

All cute and ready for church...
Photobucket

Some feedings go smoother than others.
Photobucket

Caught a cold over Thanksgiving...had her mouth open like this for over a week because she couldn't breathe out of her nose :(
Photobucket

This one's for her ABC book that Grandma Patti does:
Big Baby Booger Bubble
Photobucket

Dan teaching her how to play guitar (he's trying to learn himself actually).
Photobucket


Category 2: Kallie & Sydney (because we love them too :)

Awards ceremony at the Elementary School-
Kallie got straight A's for the first time in her life! We are so proud!!!
Photobucket

Straight A's and Perfect Attendance...and a Citizenship award from one of her teachers because she is a "great example of what a young lady should be". So nice!
Photobucket

Syd too had perfect attendance and was on the honor roll.
She did not want her mother to take her picture-can you tell?
So embarrassing...
Photobucket

The kid in the middle on the front row is cracking me up...
Photobucket

Kallie played on a little city basketball team.
Last game of the season was against the parents...
(friend Skylar in the photo with them)
Photobucket

Kallie is finding such cute (good) girls to be friends with.
Photobucket

This is a bad picture, but I wanted to include the jump ball at the beginning of the game...
Kallie vs Dan- go Kallie!!!
Photobucket


Category 3: Christmas

We decorated our tree on Sunday while listening to the Christmas Devotional.
Some of us listened better than others...
Photobucket

By FAR my new favorite photo...
Photobucket

Photobucket

The annual decorating of the gingerbread house.
Thank you Costco for having the houses "pre-built" this year...much easier.
Photobucket

We made them share 1 house so it kind of has a split personality.
Photobucket

Photobucket


Category 4: Peaches (because she's our favorite hairy child)

This is how Peach spends 75% of her day...
lounging in front of the stove. I wish I could join her!
Photobucket

I laugh every time I see this...
If only Peach could tell us what is going on in her brain right at this moment!
Photobucket

Category 5: Finally finished with the rental house in Las Vegas...Hooray!

Went last weekend and got the last of our stuff out and got it all cleaned up.
This is us on the way back to Eureka with our U-haul.
Photobucket

What do you do with a bored baby who has spent WAY too much time in the car over the last couple of weeks?
Give her a Laffy Taffy to suck on of course!
Photobucket

Category 6: The Grand Finale
Our sister-in-law sent us flowers because she is our new insurance agent...I had to snap a few (or 20) photos of the beautiful flowers. Thanks Stacey!!!
Photobucket

Now maybe one day I'll actually get around to changing my blog header...Avery's not even in it.
Sad. She'll never know.

Darling pictures. I loved the one with Syd and the Christmas tree.

Um is that an apple on Avery's high chair? LOL! Gorgeous pics as always. I love the girls' twisty-tails. I've never been able to get those to stay together!

Love all the pictures...especially the Christmas tree ones, beautiful! All your sweet girls are getting so big :) Happy Holidays to you and your fabulous family.
Miss you around these parts!

Laughed and Laughed at the booger bubble. Thanks needed a good laugh. Way to go girls for your awesome work at school. Love you.

I will remember the Laffy taffy trick, we may just need it on a trip to tim-buck-two, I mean Eureka with a little one.

I think Peaches is funny in front of the heater. Did Avery sneak the Laffy Taffy? She kind of looks like she is trying to hide it. Miss you, can't wait to see you soon.

I think Kallie is going to pass her Dad up in height soon. Or has she already? Love every single picture. Makes me miss you guys.

Great pictures! I can't believe you came back and I didn't even know it. :( Too bad we didn't hook up one last time, considering we'll be in AK in about 5 days and may never really see each other again. Well, we'll just have to keep in touch other ways (keep playing phone tag). :) Looks like your family is doing well and are happy ~ I'm so glad. :)
