December Day at the Park

Catch Up Post #2...Birthdays, Sports and Looking Cute!

Samantha and Peyton donned their cowboy (and cowgirl ) hats at William and Joseph's birthday party in September. Too stinking cute!!

Tanner discovered Cheerios in early October and obviously is very excited about it!!

Zach started playing football this year, and while he lacked interest on the field sometimes, he sure did look handsome in his uniform!

Karcen is developing her own sense of style, or lack thereof, and on Mondays and Fridays (when she doesn't have to go to school - in public) she can dress herself. Check out one of my favs!

Carley celebrated her birthday this year with a really cool "Carnival" themed party complete with games and prizes. She got lots of money this year as well as some great gifts!

Daycare Pictures 2008

Well the annual trip to Sears arrived, we all got dressed up and headed to the mall...HOWEVER, the kids decided that this year was not going to be our finest...Cute pictures for some...others, not so much!

Here's the group shot...as you can see Cheyenne's finger is in her ear for some reason, but this is one of the better ones of I don't know how many she took.

The Gills pose for their obligatory pictures...it should be noted that this is Kattie's last year of pictures with her Nannie...she told me she'd go until she was out of high school...and this is her last year.....waaaaaaah!

The Burnettes were all smiles and cooperated for the most part...They have the cutest dimples in that family!!!

The Popes were next in line and Cheyenne wasn't cooperating as well, but they got a couple of cute ones, this is the better of the 2...

Tanner was VERY VERY VERY unhappy about me letting him go to take a picture, as you can tell with the red eyes and splotchy face!!

Peyton and Haila always smile for the most part, but paying attention is another story...here's a cute one...

So I always like to have a more "casual" shot without me in it, and this year, all of our nerves were frazzled and this was the best one....notice how UNHAPPY Tanner is... Oh well...maybe better luck next year!

November Catch Up Post

So, I got a little sidetracked in posting, but I'm going to do a catch up post for the month of November!

Cheyenne turned 4 on November 4th, and had a My Little Pony party...complete with a little pony... She was unsure about actually riding it, so I had to do a little Nannie bribing! But she did finally ride the horse and ended up liking it (I think). Here she is on the horse and her too cute cake!

Tanner is growing up fast...He is changing every week! He has begun to pull himself up now (and at the time of this post is actually already walking...yes, I know I'm behind). But the first picture is what happend when he pulled himself up in the crib and couldn't lay himself back down...NOT a happy camper! In the next shot he has bounced himself to sleep....TOO CUTE! Last picture is just a happy Tanner shot...Nannie loves happy babies!

Kattie may never forgive me for posting this picture...She turned 18 this year and we all got together at On the Border to celebrate with her! How is it possible that she's all grown up??? Here she is swinging the napkin as we sing Happy Birthday to her! I am so proud of her I just can't stand it!!!

We put the tree up the Monday after Thanksgiving and the kids helped me decorate. What you can't see is that all of the ornaments that they put down are exactly in a row and facing backwards...Maybe it's a new trend in decorating...Either way, they had fun!

Halloween Part 2

We pulled out the jumper to celebrate Halloween....

here are some random pics of the blow up fun!!!!

Party pics....cupcake faces and a group eating shot....

I have some cute kiddies....

loving Chey "cleaning" her face off with her tongue...
