Power Rangers celebrate # 3!

For the last FOREVER all Boston wanted to watch was Power Rangers, so of course for his birthday he wanted a power ranger cake! But being busy as we were, we had so many school concerts going on, that Boston didn't have a huge clebration! I did manage to order him the Power Ranger cupcakes. Mark took him to the store to pick out his present, which happend to be the Captin America shield, and then on Saturday we took him and the rest of the kiddos to play mini-golf. He was in HEAVEN! He loved to hit the golf ball into the hole and made sure every time that he put the ball down only inches away form the hole just so he could score and move quickly to the hole! Every time he got the ball in the hole he would scream and shout and celebrate loudly, I think he had fun! We can't wait to see what this next year brings to him!

Christmas in a blur!! 2011

Literally Christmas was a BLUR!!! one of my smart kids decided to help mom adjust her camera settings, and me being super smart could not get the pictures to focus like they should have been! so the pictures are what they are! (lucky for me, scott knew how to fix it!) For Christmas we always get games and movies that can bring the family together for family time. Also we get the kids a new out fit. The girls asked for fashion boots, and the boys asked for every action figure they could come up with! so here is our Christmas in a blur!

Chirstmas dance concert 2011

All 3 of the girls are in dance this year! Addison did a cute Mrs. Clause dance, Makayla did a hip hop number and Lakota did an amazing black light dance. It was super fun to see as each of these girls came out of their shells and get up on stage and performe for a lot of people! They each have made some new and amazing friends. They were great performers!
