Happy New Year!

We had our friends over for New Year's Eve this year, and they took our fondue party to a whole new level. Jill brought her chocolate fountain, and my kids LOVED IT! We all had so much fun! Coleman asked me if he could just put his face in the fountain.

This is what happens when you give Griff an Oreo.

This is what happens when you take that Oreo away from him.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Homestead

The boys and I took a short trip up to the Homestead with my sister and her kids. The big kids went snowshoeing, (my niece Jess is sending photos later) and I took the little kids to the pool. The monkeys loved swimming in the pool with the snow piled up to the windows outside.

Brady and Cole with Luke

Coleman insisted I take this picture to show Dad how much snow was outside. They loved this! So did Griff, but no pictures of him for some reason. . . 4th child.

Christmas Break

The boys hit the slopes, and had so much fun!
Two more years and Griff and I will join them!

Pizza anyone?

Chistmas Eve

We had Christmas Eve at White Grandmas this year, and the boys made a short appearance in these costumes. Hyatt was the angle this year, he thought it was hilarious! So did we!

Christmas Morning

The boys waiting to go downstairs. I usually take about 20 pictures of them waiting on the stairs, just because it makes them so mad to keep waiting. Mean.

This was the favorite gift of the year. We finally broke down and got yet another game system. Coleman has been lost in Wii land ever since we opened this. That is why we waited so long to get one, because someone in our family has a little problem with video games, and I am not mentioning any names, but he has big green eyes (eyes that get a strange glaze over them as soon as the t.v. comes on) and his name starts with "C." The funny thing is, he can beat anyone at any game. He has been "schooling" Matt all week.

Griff got this fun train from my Grandma and Grandpa, he loves it! Christmas was so much fun I forgot to take anymore pictures, the kids made homemade things for each other and I wish so bad I had pictures of them opening the gifts, but I was lost in the moment!

Hyatt's Spanish Program

The Spanish Immersion program is always so much fun, the kids work so hard on it every year! We got there a half an hour early and still had the worst seats in the place, so I could not get the best pictures, but you get the idea.

We are so proud of you Hyatt, and you look pretty cute dressed up like a Native of the Andes!

Cool Job

Doesn't Matt have a cool job? This is his latest monument. He did this one for a veteran's hospital in Texas. These pictures were taken at the unveiling ceremony. I think he is pretty amazing, if I do say so myself! It is so fun for him to get to do something he loves and get paid for it!
