I'm finally getting around to putting some pics of Spring Break: (Hawaii)

Paul won me a sweet coconut leaf basket with his mad spear throwing skills

I told the boys that I'm pretty sure I wanted to retire here or buried here....which would probably be cheaper
we're trying our basket weaving skills....mine were pretty null and void

We took Cole and Clay with us and the other cuties stayed with my sisters, this is a pic Jami took at the ballgame with them.......Cade's got his game face on
I'm not sure what I'm doing with the stance, the hair....not sure, but it's a pic in the sub nonetheless.....pretty crazy what these men lived in for months at a time

Here the boys and I are learning a Fiji dance.....notice the boys in the background...poor boys got my love for the stage....

It's been a bloggity long time since my last post....it was Pinewood Derby time again..Paul's favorite :)  But to everyone's surprise Cole took 1st place and Clay took 3rd.......let's just say the Miller cars aren't known for their speed!  So it was a heck of a time!

Jack Black and Will Ferrell

LISA NEXT HUSBAND WHEN I PASS ALONG TO THE DEPTHS OF FIRE AND BRIM STONE

My idea of a fun Saturday!

Paul finally took me with him to the "boy club", and now he might be sorry he did....cause he's not going without me anymore! :)  Cole and Clay came to and had a blast...shooting handguns, machine guns, and blowing up bombs....Good Times!

Will Ferrell Bud Light Commercial - Hilarious Super Bowl Ad

If you are easily offended...look away! :)
P.s. Does the outfit look familiar?! The inspiration for our Christmas card!

It's a kite flying day:  the easiest family night ever 
There was the occasional "oops the kite is caught on the roof" scenarios, but all in all good times!
Yes, it was cold and no, Clay thought he didn't need a jacket... Mr. tough guy

"Paul, I'm pretty sure we got the kites for the kids.."  he was like a kid in a candy store.

Crew thought he was pretty awesome....of course this was taken just moments before an "oops I can't hold on any longer, and crap it's on the roof again" moment :)

P.s.  Yes, those are tire marks in the backyard where Paul was doing brodies in the yard....what an example!

To my dismay, this is 1 of 3 outfits that Crew will wear......I try to hide them, but he sniffs them out somehow

These pics are a few months old but who cares

 I love how bringing home a piece of flex will make the world go round....I'm pretty sure they were entertained for about a week.......boys....it doesn't take a lot

Here's a few pics from our trip....not many blogworthy ones......I usually don't have the camera when those "candid" moments come along

Paul's sending this pic into Baywatch for a possible "running on the beach" scene.....it's still playing in Japan....right?! :)

Here's the "the dork in the box" pic.  There was this compartment right by the door inside the room to get your room service........so what should we do with it...."let's see if we can fit in it."........Mission accomplished......he was stuck .....so I left him and went to get a massage....:)

WHO NEEDS BRACES?!

Video Recaps | Full Episodes | Webisodes

It's nice to know that things still keep rolling even when we're gone........

Sorry we missed your birthday party Crew......but I think you did all right without us...

I love that smile

Aunt Jami loves her some kisses......I don't think Cade minded at all!
I couldn't hear the music....but I'm sure it was absolutely beautiful!.......

Side note:  One of the first pictures we took of these two was Crew biting and kissing Blayke's neck....future Edward?!.....maybe
My lovely and "crazy" sister took the boys to Skateland while we were gone....love ya Kara!!

Mama Mia.....yes, that's my mom with a black eye....this picture doesn't do it justice

MAKE A WISH......he's probably wishing for more blankets :)

that boy loves him some blankets!

WARNING:  The following pictures may be disturbing..........

o.k., so when Clay first started gymnastics we ordered his uniform and he got the girl leotard instead of the boy's......so, I was cleansing the kid's clothes, and Crew found it and wanted to put it on.....and it begins.....I'm pretty sure we've ruined his chances to hold a political office,.......

Look at those bi's and tri's.....grrrr!

TA-DA

I added this picture cause I want you to notice that Clay's wearing my slippers......

but I have to say that they are cozy   :)

And Last but no Least...

All I can say is WoW, he's definitely ready for his broadway debut

(the funny thing is as I was posting this, I was listening to Dancing Queen from ABBA........and yes, my boys were dancing)

If anyone needs a fabulous idea for an eagle scout project look no further.  To the right in the video bar, you can view what two "ingenious" boys did for theirs!!  :)

HO HO HO

My parents had a Christmas party on Saturday full of crafts, a pinata (there was a near fatality involving my dad and brother, so we might not do that again), delicious food, Santa, and of course the fabulous nativity (I'm pretty sure it took longer to dress and satisfy all the children's needs on their costumes then the actual acting out of the "nativity").....GOOD TIMES! ......Thanks mom and dad it was super fun!!I'm not sure what's up with the lighting of my camera, but this pic had to go in because the "animals" of the show were cracking me up.  



Crew was supposed to be Joseph, but he was dead set on holding Frankencense, so there you have it.......(we must choose our battles)

He was definitely into the whole (Santa) thing.  "Santa brings treats, I like Santa!"

Cole played Jingle Bells for us

Tuesday was Cole's violin concert.......

that night we found out that Cade is a lover not a fighter

My sweet parents came to see him at his first concert

At first, when he said he wanted to do violin I was skeptical.......but who can deny a face like that?!

WARNING:  PHOTO OVERLOAD ALERT!

A wrap up of our trip to the Andersen cabin...good times!

I had to put this photo in to show how absolutely awesome I looked in my "snow"pants....is that that the Michelen Man?......  I think I was more scared than Crew to go down that hill!

UNO anyone?!

There just wasn't any pics with him smiling with all his garb on...go figure!  But you look so cute Crew....just enjoy it!

That snowman up above is Cade's creation.....oh our little artist....:)

Yes.....I was THAT serious about the puzzle!

Cole was in hog heaven....well I guess snow heaven

Cool Cats

I love these sweet babies!

Ready Aim and FIRE!

Ready Set and GO......the funniest was watching them race and dog pile...so hilarious.....there was another kid in the race...and nobody knew who he was...it cracked me up
