and my boy - I was attacking him, hopefully that is explains our crazy faces

The girls playing a fierce game of Fooz BALL

Kay found the kitchen so she was a happy camper.

Robin and her crew came by once she got done with work

Now at this point Philip was really having a good time and he got Robin on the dance floor to bust a move to a song that was one of her favorites in college.

Me & my bestie

Philip tormented Michelle ALL NIGHT !! but all in good fun. I'm not sure what they were doing at this point.

Gotta love Greg, Michelle's hubby, singing in the background. GO GREG GO GREG !!!

Words can not express how much fun Philip had this year, he was a tad CRAZY !!!

Christmas Day with the family

Ryan being camera shy as usual.

TWIN Baby Dolls !!! Why would Grandma give her TWINS !! Kaleigh loves them though

Two peas in a pod. I hope these two have the relationship I had with my cuz Michael.

Ryan's braces were tightened the week of Christmas... He was really hurtin ! My poor bae !

Christmas Morning

I think Santa showed up at our house this year !!!


And he ate his cookies and drank almost all his milk... gotta get that calcium Santa

PLAYDOH !!! Holy Mackrel !! What was Santa thinking !

Someone definitely woke up on the right side of her bed. She is one beautiful girl !!

Playing with all her gifts

BATMAN !!!

This boy has my heart !!

Well, okay... this boy stole my heart a LONG time ago !!

such a precious gift from God... AMEN !!

Me and my mini me.... In so many ways, she is my carbon copy. Lord HELP US !!

Still loves him some Thomas & Friends

Time for wrestling with daddy.

Lets check out what's in this stocking.....

All Kay was worried about was getting to her candy

Still peaking.....

Why are they making eat these snacks when I have all this good stuff in my stocking??

This has got to be one of my favorite pictures from Christmas 2009

All their STUFF !!

This year we pinched pennies and I shopped for things on SALE and took advantage of coupons. This may look like we went overboard but I think at tops we spend $300 on both kids all together, and that includes the $65 bike Santa got Tyler. I was really proud of myself this year.

I am so thankful to be able to provide for our children and I thank God everyday for all of our blessings.

Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Tyler's Daycare Friends had a little Christmas Party. They all exchanged gifts and made crafts to bring home. I'll have to find my picture of Tyler's tree--it was really cute.

Far back-Parker
At the table-Tyler, Sylvia, Brady, & Caroline


Back row: Tyler, Sylvia, Caroline
Front: Kaleigh & Brady

Brady is a super sweet little boy but unfortunately he didn't come back after the Christmas Break. He was on a waiting list somewhere else and he finally had a spot for him. We miss him. Tyler really enjoyed having a friend to play Batman and stuff with. :(


Kaleigh at Sonia's that afternoon.

Sibling LOVE

They really are best friends.

Me & my baby

Another attempt

My huney !!
