HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!!! Today is my niece Abby's 3rd Birthday. Since her parents are on vacation in Hawaii we partied with her tonight! Abby and Chloe are 5 days apart, so they have really grown up together They are getting so big!!! Wendy is my sister, and Abby is her daughter. She is great at blogging her family activities, so I thought she'd be thrilled to see this!

Abby got nail polish and yummy smelling (and tasting) lip gloss. Wendy will thank me later,ha,ha. She loves barbie so she got barbie flip flops, kite, and book with a read along CD. She was thrilled!!! She also got a cute new pink shirt. Abby was so cute. She wanted to go out and fly her kite. But it was dark so she settled for getting her nails painted.

Happy Birthday Abby! We love you!!!

It's a girl!!!

I'm not really good at this blogging stuff. I never think about it. But my sister Wendy is really good at hers and she reminded me this weekend to blog.
So today I had my ultrasound and we found out that we are having another girl! Poor Tim, he really wanted a brother. But he'll survive somehow!

greenfield gators

This summer Sara, Hannah, Becca, and Tim all did swim team at Greenfield. Most days they loved it. We were only able to go to the first swim meet because every Saturday was something going on. It was great exercise and we carpooled with their friends, so they had fun. The carpool was reliable most of the time. It ended last week but I wanted to add a few pictures from the meet. It's a bummer, we don't have any pictures of Sara and Hannah, the camera arrived after they swam. But at least we have some of Becca and Tim.

About Time

I know, everyone keeps telling me to update. We'll life here is busy right now. My kids are on Greenfield Gators Swim Team and love it. Some days they whine that they worked them really hard, but I tell them it's good for them. Theres no other excercise they are getting, it's to hot!! We went to the airport today to see Zack off on his mission, good luck Zack!!! We've been busy working on girls camp stuff. Being in charge of stake 4th years is a lot of work!!! It is going to be so much fun, hope it all works how we are planning!! I went shopping for the awards tonight with Christine Horlacher tonight, I forgot how fun the dollar stores are!! We found a lot of stuff, so that is closer to being done!

Catching some zzzzzzz's

One night at bedtime we couldn't find Timmy anywhere and when we found him he was sound asleep in the livingroom chair. He's even under the pillow.

Buttercup November 2008

One of our families favorite vacation spots is the sand dunes. If you asked any of my kids where the funnest place is i'm sure that is what they would say. So in November we went to Buttercup for 4 days and we all had a wonderful time. We had a smaller group than normal, but it still was just as much fun as always. It is a never ending sand pit for the kids. The minute they get up until I make them go to bed it is nonstop playing. The kids are digging in the sand, rolling in the sand, riding some kind of vehicle, playing games, eating, and just having fun the entire day! It's great because rarely is there any fighting, and the kids of all ages get along. The kids favorite place at Buttercup is the wall. If you go out and around a ways theres a hugh sand wall that theres not a lot of riders so the kids can climb up and race and roll down. It takes a lot to get up, your legs are burning when you reach the top. But the sand there is the softest sand you will ever feel! It's a whole lot of fun!!! The adults just ride and sit around and talk. It's very relaxing, and at night we always have a campfire and smores. I love smores!!!! Ya, life doesn't get much better than this!! Just kidding, but it is a blast!!

Day of Fun

What started out as "Mom, come take pictures of us jumping on the trampoline!" ended up with Hannah and Becca swimming in the pool, in November!!! Freezing! The water was so cold, they were crazy!!

But I took a lot of fun pictures of them on the trampoline.
