New House!!!

Horray! We are finally moved and loving it. Of course there is still tons of decorating and rearranging to do, but for the most part, we are moved in. Houses are always a work in progress, I think. We love our circle and and being next door neighbors to my twin brother, Landon. Can you say "10 kids!"

Dance Competition

Wow, dance competition is something else. This was our first one and the girls did so good. Ashley and Katelyn (her cousin) did a duet together. They were so cute and took 2nd place. Ashley was so excited and loved how big the trophy was. Ashley's class (Mini team) performed 2 dances and took 3rd place with both. McKenzie is the star in her class (moms get to brag). Her class (Tiny team) is so cute and this was there first competition too. They also performed 2 dances and took 3rd place with both two. McKenzie is the one front and center. Boy, does she love to dance and do cartwheels and somersaults and back bends....

Pinned!

Well, Cooper thought that he'd try wrestling this year. He's never wrestled before but did very good against boys who have been wrestling for a few years now. Wrestling was fun but nerve racking at the same time. It was fun for Cooper to get to practice and be with his new Enterprise friends. It was nerve racking for mom to sit on the side and watch him get twisted into a pretzle. I'm glad that Cooper did well and that he's not afraid to try new things.

Start Your Engines!!!

Nascar in Las Vegas was a blast! Ian and his family have been going for about 5 years now. This year we took the whole family. We stayed in a moterhome right next to the track. The kids had tons of fun. Aunt Erin got us garage passes so we got to go down and see the cars up close. We even got to be right where the drivers walk by and got a lot of autographs. I think the kids enjoyed that the most. The whole time was great! We can't wait until next year!

Take it to the hoop, Coop

Wow, what a shot! Pay no attention to the double dribble or the traveling, but look at that shot! We've had so much fun watching Cooper this season in basketball. He played on a 3rd and 4th grade team and I have to say he was one the best players. Hey, I'm not just saying that because he's my kid.

Happy New Year!

Well, Christmas was great! Santa brought the kids want they wanted so they were happy. I love Christmas time and the chance to see all the family. I think is it's fun to go from house to house visiting. Ian doesn't think it's so fun.

Either Santa left us a late Christmas present or the New Year Baby was early, but we got suprised with 3 baby puppies the day after Christmas. Sammy, the good little mother, has been taking good care of her little girls. Yes, all 3 are girls and No, we aren't getting rid of them. Ian would like to, but the kids won't let him. They have already named and picked out "their" puppy. Cooper's is brown, Gizmo; Ashley's is tan, Pig (she's been the biggest); and McKenzie's is white, Snowflake. As they get bigger and bigger, we'll have to see who wins, Dad or the kids. They are so cute, though and it will be hard to give them up if Dad wins.
