Our CrAzY December!

WOW!!! So many things happened in December I don't even know where to start!! So if this gets out of order, sorry!!!
Makayla had her 1st grade Christmas performance!! She did well, but you could tell she didn't like who she was sitting next to because she kept telling him to stop!! Here is a picture of one of her friends, Maddie and her, WAY TO GO MAKAYLA!!!



We also did our annual ginger bread houses (really graham cracker) at Grandma Leathams! OVERLOAD on the sugar, but it was fun!!!





CHRISTMAS DAY!!! Both sides of the family live within a 10 mile raids so Christmas for us is exhausting, so here are just some highlights; the girls "american dolls", video ipods, star wars everything, little people farm, a sewing machine, new camera, play station 3 and games, a bunch of movies and a whole lot of board games. We spent Christmas day at my parents which included exchanging gifts, the white elephant game, the candy bar game and more food then you could imagine!! wow!!! hope you enjoyed reading!!

Our October!

Here are the fun things that happened at our house during the month of October. Makayla turned 7, she is growing every day and is becoming very smart! She is a great reader and is loving the first grade! I too had a birthday but that is where it starts and ends! Mark did take me on a shopping's spree which was very fun!! ( he knows how to spoil me!) Being Halloween this month, we did a ton of fun things; we went to Lagoon (very cold), we had a party at Grandma Leatham's house(yes me Stephanie and Ben did the doughnut contest much fun!!), Corn belly's, Leslie's party, party's at school and of course TRICK OR TREATING!! here are some pictures to prove it!!!

Hair do's.....

Lakota and Makayla have been begging me to post their hair do's!! These do's were really fun to do and turned out way too cute! Lakota has done hers 3 times and Makayla 2 times. We hope to show off more in the coming weeks!! ENJOY.....






Boston too!!!

A twist to Ponytails!

So I have been trying (so very hard) to do above and beyond normal hair for the girls. I have posted a blog link to a lady who shows you step by step how to do little girls hair. While practice makes perfect it only took 3 tries for me to do this. I have fallen in love with Addison's hair and have done this look for 3 days! Don't you think it looks cute?

Silly Tired!

Boston seems to get really giggly right before bed, especially around his daddy!! Mark can make this kid smile and giggle just my looking at him. Why can't I get him to do it for me??? Must be a boy thing. Here are some pictures of Boston right before bed last night!!

I could just squeeze him!!

Boston is now 6 1/2 months old. I love him so much I could just squeeze him!! He is getting bigger every day, and discovering new things! Here are some of his new discoveries: Sitting up, army crawling, food, hands and knees, the girls curlers!?!? He is a fast mover and hard to keep up with. He loves to eat pears, applesauce and sweet potato's. We have trimmed his hair a few times but I can't bring myself to cut more then that!! He has 1 tooth with one more on the way. He is FULL of smiles and giggles and we all love him so much! We are glad to have Boston in our family!
