Picture catch up

I've been informed there are not enough pictures posted to our blog. So be careful what you ask for - here's about 3 months worth of photos. :) Happy viewing! This layout of pictures is not working so well - sorry it's all over the place. Not willing to re-load all the pictures again.

SOCCER: Lea finished soccer (she ended up loving the season and we had a great time at practices and games with our friends). Practice, games, THE TUNNEL after the game, and award ceremony. Lea was the "Best Passer" and everyone got the coolest trophies with a spinning soccer ball!






















We've had visitors: my sister and brother-in-law came for a few days. So fun to have them come. For getting good grades and making the "good" Principal's list, Lea chose Panda Express for dinner. She was excited to have Uncle Jim come join us for her special dinner out. Aunt Caryn (my sister) came the next day - I made her play volleyball with me. Always fun! I can't find my pictures of this, but I love having my family come visit and stay with us.

Jeff was traveling for work for 3 weeks to Cincinnati and needed new luggage - this one came with a little red-head!. The first week he was gone, it was our turn for the babysitting co-op we are apart of. I was nervous to have all 14 kids on my own, but they were great and get along great - it's a blast! was the day before Valentine's day. All the kids at the table decorating cookies - it was a huge success. The little ones played together (Abbey and Joseph-18 months) and the aftermath. They are so worn out after these nights - sleep is no problem. Lea is sleeping against the wall on her bed.



My parents came for a week and I always love having them come. My dad is a hard worker and helps us finish our projects that have been left undone for a LONG time - painting, washing the van and more. :) My mom folds our laundry and they both play with the kids all day long. Went to school to watch Lea perform at the morning assembly. They sang "Fifty Nifty" with their 4th grade buddies. The blonde boy is Max Farris - one of Lea's friends. My dad helped Lucas to ride a bike and he now proudly rides a Princess bike - he's strong in his manhood. He rode it to pick up Lea from the bus stop. Lea is a diva in her dress up and taking a breathing treatment.











We went to Vegas the weekend Jeff was laid off. Hoping to win the big bucks!! :) We had a nice date night and the kids enjoyed G&G Risenmay. Although we left their scooters at their house....oops. I didn't remember until we had made it home and were getting to bed...oh well. This bridge makes me ill to look at everytime we make this drive - so do not like heights!! The kids made cupcakes with Grandma Judy, played in the pool and played video games with Jeff - nice to have a happy unemployed daddy to play with for a change. :)

















And last but not least - Abbey has her first official pony tail. She looks sort of like a Cupie doll, but she's so dang cute. She's adorable and laughs hysterically at all of us. It's fun to watch her imitate coughing, sneezing, screaming and any other noise we can think of for her to copy.

I love all those pictures, especially Abby with her 1st ponytail. She's such a little cutie. I can't believe how big she is already. Looks like you had a good time in Vegas too! We tried to make big bucks like you, but it didn't work. Shoot... was hoping to get rich easy, but we have no luck. :) Anyways, so much fun to have family in town too!!!
