Christmas 2008

Here's a little slide

show of our Christmas.

Until next year...

Happy Birthday Ally!

It is hard to believe Ally is 3 already.
She is growing up so fast.

She learns something new everyday

and always keeps us on our toes.

Here are a few pictures I took of her yesterday

before her birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza.

{I will post about Christmas & her party later}

from this....

to this....

I told you she keeps us on our toes!

Tonight we took her out to eat at McDonald's
then to Dairy Queen for some ice cream.

Happy Birthday Ally!
We love you so much.

Love,
Mommy & Daddy ♥

From Our House to Yours....

Oh Christmas Tree!

We finally decorated our tree Saturday morning, this was late for us.

We usually do it Thanksgiving weekend but that didn't happen this year.

It was up with 3/4 of the lights working. We've had the worst luck

with lights this year. We have about 8 strands that only half the lights work.

I guess we will be buying new lights next year.

Bryce being a good big brother and helping Aubrey.

Ally posing by her ornament with her name on it.


Ashley hanging her ornament with her name on it.

Bryce hanging his ornament with his
name on it even though you can't read it.


Aubrey hanging hers with her name on it.


She was so happy she did it!

These two getting along for a little while was nice.
{That doesn't happen a lot these days}

Four happy kids that got to decorate their
Christmas tree, even if it was a little later this year.
We only have a few more things to decorate
and we will be done for this Christmas.

Happy Tuesday☺

Thankful....

I'm thankful for these little cuties....

for my "Guy" and everything he does for our FAMILY....

for our FAMILY and Friends....

and for the people at Data Doctors Recovery Center for recovering everything off our computer that crashed. We got all of our pictures back and I am so "THANKFUL" we weren't in the 5% that don't.

Happy Tuesday☺

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thursday☺

Teddy Bear Tap

Yesterday Ally started her new class Teddy Bear Tap.
She gets to bring a bear with her to be her dancing partner.
She was so excited to go to dance again and
this time she is one of the older girls in the class.

She's all ready for class.

Happy Thursday☺

Ashley's 11th Birthday {11-1-2008}

This year for Ashley's birthday I

took her and these cute girls...

Myla, Ashley, Allysa, Maya and Sam

to see this really cute movie...

After the movie we had lunch then went back to
our house for cake, ice cream and gifts.

After everyone left I took Ashley for a little photo shoot.

Happy Birthday Ashley!
We love you so much.
Sorry it took me so long
to blog about your birthday.

Halloween {10-31-2008}

Halloween night was a lot of fun.
The kids went Trick or Treating in our neighborhood.
Then we went over to the Gerber's house for "Soup Night."
Then we went over to my mom and dad's house.
It's nice when Halloween isn't on a school night.

Ashley was a Vampire.

Bryce was a Vampire.

We tried to make him look pale, it didn't work so well.

Ally was Tinkerbell.

Aubrey was a ladybug.

Until next year...

I'm still here....

I know I haven't blogged in a while but the last week of October was not a good one for me. I got a call on Wednesday from our bank needing to confirm that I made some purchases with my debit card. I didn't make the purchases they were asking about. I was told they would cancel my card, send me a new one and not let the charges go through. Well that didn't happen and I got another call Thursday morning to confirm some more. I wasn't to happy that they didn't take care if this Wednesday plus now the charge for $225.00 came out of our account. I got all of that taken care of then our computer crashed Thursday afternoon. Guy took it to Circuit City and the man there said he could get our files off. He called Friday and said he couldn't do anything with it. I lost it! All of my pictures are on there and that is all I want off of it. I know, I know! I should have them backed up or on disks or something. I was in the process of doing that. We took it to Data Doctors they said they think they can get them off if not they have a "Recovery Lab" they can send it too. Guess what, it is at the recovery lab and I'm still waiting to see if I get my pictures back. They told Guy they have a 95% success rate. I really hope I don't fall into the other 5%. We did get a new computer but I haven't felt like using it much but I told myself I need to blog. I deceided it was time to catch up with everything our little family has been doing, so more posts will follow....

And to all of you moms, scrapbookers, photographers out there backup your photos to as many places as you can. It will save you a lot of stress and money!
