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?!

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

One a fabulous way to end a beautiful Thanksgiving.......a thunderstorm....Cole LOVES the rain....he's always online checking the weather

Our sweet little Crew has learned too much from the "outside" world.......

while I was taking the picture he said, "I'm gonna kick your butt mama!"....yeah he thought he was funny.....  Oh the sweet sentiments our children say......

A few photos that captured the good times in Puerto Vallarta

One little monkey in the tree

I'm pretty sure we can't just take a normal "shot"

This photo is dedicated to Olan Mills.....where we got our inspiration!

They cooked up the fish they caught at a local restaurant.....Yummy!

*****Side Note:  I'm still not brave enough to blog the karaoke shananigans!****

I'm posting this as per request....

This was Halloween '06

I'm not sure what I was thinking with my outfit...I'm pulling the crazy card....

My camera wasn't on the right mode, so the outside pic is crappy, but you get the gist of our Halloween effects

If you're wondering where Crew is.....he wanted nothing to do with a costume or trick or treating.....I believe that's him in the above pic.....crying

why fight it.......

We are now living with our very own Frankenstein.

Saturday, when Paul and I went out, the kids were playing tag in the house.  

And, of course, Clay ran into the wall!

It took 3 guys to hold him down and a lot of screaming to put 7 staples in his head....

Traumatized much?!

When Paul and Clay were walking out, Clay thanked the doctor...well he kindof grunted a thank you, and the doc almost passed out

It took him 2 days to smile about it and let me take the picture.  Gross huh?

Paul went to the Anderson cabin to finish the heater in Greer.....and the family decided to tag along..... :)

I'm pretty sure this pic was taken right before Cole rammed into our car......

Cole says, "Why did you park the car there?"

classic defensive comment

we can laugh now

Needless to say, we had a talk on responsibility

I guess I can't talk cause I think I remember hitting a tree in my dad's truck.....dad gotta love that patience

Clay ready to hit the road....this is serious business you know!

LET'S RIDE!

Now don't smile Paul.....excellent

that's a wrap
