I'm back

I know, I know.... it's been forever since my last posting. I feel like such a slacker! So I decided to try and update my blog with photo's from this past year the best I can. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season.

My Niece, Sariah turned 6! We celebrated with her at Mt. Scott Roller Rink in Portland.

We had snow! The First snow of the season, right before Thanksgiving.

We kicked off the Hoiliday season right, with zoo lights!

University Place Tree lighting.

Tanner's big T cookie!

Preschool Zoo trip.

November

For Thanksgiving we traveled to Eastern Washington to My Brother/Sister in-law's house.

On our way we stopped at the Summit near Snoqualmie for a rest room break. The kids were very excited to see some snow on Thanksgiving, even if it was at the rest stop.

Getting ready for Thanksgiving dinnerVery Thankful for PIE!
Here are the kids with their five doggy cousin's and Aunt Jackie.

Madisen and Griffy

Neat windmills on our way to Portland from Eastern Wa.

The kids thought the licence plate on this car in Portland was very cool!

Madisen got her Braces put on today!

 Finally the day we have been waiting for has arrived!

Madisen got her Braces put on this morning.

She was such a brave little trooper!

When the kids get their Braces on or off Dr. Weller's office put their name on the door.

Now she is going to be even more beautiful!

Breakfast Date With My BOY

Today Tanner and I dropped the kids off at school and headed out to do our errands. While we were out we decided to stop at McDonalds and have some breakfast. It was so fun hanging out together. This is my last year with a kid at home! Next year Tanner goes to all day kindergarten (They don't half day here).

So I am feeling a little sad about that. I enjoy all my moments with this little guy while I can. Soon he won't want to hang out with Mommy anymore.

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY MADISEN

My sweet Madisen turned 10 today at 11:31 AM. She is such a blessing to have in our family.

She is our only girl and we love her so much! She says the funniest things and know how to cheer me up when I am down.

We couldn't tell what we were having when I was pregnant with her.
We were so excited when Dr. Nickel announced it's a GIRL!

I just thought for sure I would have all boys.

Happy 10th Birthday sweet heart!

Because we can never get Madisen just the right thing Jonathan and I gave her a stuffed doggie which she asked for and a gift card to Target. She loved it!

Tanner's First Day At Preschool.

Tanner was so excited to start his first day of Preschool.
He woke up at 6:30 am yelling from his bed " Mom is it time for Preschool?" I said "no go back to sleep!" He did fall back to sleep, but was up and ready by 7:30 am.
Here he is on his first day.
Since his preschool is a co-op I signed up to stay and help on the first day. It was a lot of fun!
