A Lil' Fun in the Sun

Hip

Hip
Hooray!
We spent the afternoon at the beach ...
We found all kinds of Treasures...
Shell, and more shells!

Madison found a marker and began decorating.

Kade found a Horseshoe Crab

This is My Treasure! HOT!

We had a Perfect Afternoon!

Nothing like going home with salty, sticky legs and sandy feet!
Maizie had enough of walking around in wet jeans and decided to ditch them
and run around in her undies... Oh we Love the Beach!

Nothing like a Hot Sunny day in December!

Borsh Anyone?...

We had to do it... With Heath and Kathryn both 1/2 Russian..

We had to Celebrate with a Russian Feast!

When dinner was over we cranked up the music and had a Dance...

A party is not a party with out a dance!

These Monkeys had some crazy moves!

It was a wild night!

My Teacher

Last night Heath myself and Millie were laying on my

bed talking when

Out of the blue Millie says,

"My Dad is my Coach and My Mom is my Teacher. "

I said, "Oh yea what do I teach you?"

Millie says, "To cook."

She then proceeds to tell me how to make brownies...

"You turn the oven on. Get the eggs and smash them in the bowl with brown stuff.

Then you have to run open the door and let the smoke out...."

I guess I haven't left a very good impression on her with my cooking skills if what she remembers about making brownies is running and opening the door to let the smoke out...

Bummer!

Our Christmas Elfs

We Journeyed out to pick out our tree

and oh did we find a Cute one!

The kids loved rummaging through the Christmas box to find all the ornament treasures and decorating the tree. I found myself following behind and tryed to even out the tree. It seemed to be bottom heavy... several places had 3 or 4 ornament's on each branch.

I loved to watch their Excitement as they Decorated the tree.

We couldn't help but Smile, after it was all decorated.

We climbed on the couch

turned off the lights and watched the tree glow! = Happiness!

I love this time of year for Many reasons... Here's a few.

-The smell of a Fresh Cut Tree...
-Turning on the Christmas tree lights each morning and night...
-Dancing to Christmas Music...
-Always being on watch for Santa's Elf's..
-Singing the song, "You better watch out, You better Not Pout over and over cause Maizie and Millie have asked me to sing it again.
-Making Hot Chocolate for all to share...
-Sitting on the couch each night quietly and enjoying the tree and lights...
-Writing and coloring to Santa... (My fridge is covered with art work for Santa)
-The warm-togetherness kind of feeling!

Snorkling Trip

For the Boy's Birthday Party we went Snorkeling.

All 7 of us.
A few of them lasted longer than the rest of us...
Heath was the Boat.. if the kids saw a big fish and got scared they would jump on Heath's back and Heath would just carry them along.I'm a Lucky Lady! We enjoyed sitting on the front of the boat, eating whoppers and soaking up the Sunshine!

Here is The Hulk Himself!

The 3 oldest got a turn to drive the boat.

What a Incredibly Handsome Man...

and Im so blessed that he is All Mine!

I hope you have another Wonderful Year! It was a day I will always Remember...

Happy Birthday Boys!

We Love You!
