Winter Break Part 1

We are halfway through Winter Break and already have some fun memories caught on film! The break started off with knowing that Kimberly was officially moved back! After three semesters of school living with her mom she decided to come back to Belton... to stay! Hopefully we'll get some pictures of her new funky purple room... it's way cool!!

Check out this little dancer! Kali rarely keeps pants on when she's home for any extended amount of time! She especially likes to put on her Princess Shoes and dance around for us. Very entertaining and she seems to be quite comfortable!
Play time in the living room!! Kali busted out the Twister Moves and we had Yo Gabba Gabba going on the TV. Quite a bit of dancing a shaking going on!!

Coco wants a turn....

Nevermind! He's too shy!

To win Kali just jumped on all of the colors! That will work... I think.

On Christmas Ever Tiger jumped into Kali's baby bed and she decided to cover him up with blankets. He stayed in that bed for over and hour. After I took this picture she started piling babies and books on him...he didn't like that part!

We had to put off Christmas morning until noon waiting for Kimberly and Nathan to get home from their mom's house. To keep Kali occupied we let her open up a couple of her gifts. Here is her Lego set... she was making a castle for Tinker Bell.

I love this picture! You can see Kali's tower... plus Coco's chew stick balancing on the left tower. She was teasing him with it... you can see him on the lower left corner staring up at the stick! Poor Coco Baby! Also- you can see Kali playing on her easle that Santa brought. She LOVES it!!

Kali got Elefun for Christmas and here she is playing with Kimberly... another wonderful game for toddlers! I highly recommend it for any toddler 2 and up! The butterflies shoot out slowly for them to catch in the nets.

Kimberly is the best to have around for playing with Kali. She doesn't even feel forced because Kali offers up a game or toy and Kimberly is genuinely excited to play with her!! Sisters... LOVE IT! Here they are playing ice cream shop PlayDoh. I'm still cleaning up PlayDoh sprinkles... Yummy!

Ah finally a picture of Nathan! He finally did his annual bare belly snow angel! Well.... his pants and gloved hands got in the snow... he somehow managed to keep his bare skin off of the snow. Kimberly and I think he's getting soft in his old age! haha

Random stuff... just like us!

My camera has been out of comission for some time now... but now we are up and running! Here's my attempt at catching up! More to come... I promise!!

I didn't realize that Kali had put Elmo in the tub... she definitely has the concept of flotation device down! She is soooo considerate of Elmo's eyes too and put his goggles on him! What a nice girl!!
Kali took this picture of Kimberly... good hob huh?!

We had a wing-fry for the KU/MU boarder war showdown. It was super nice so we went out to play at half time. Kali discovered that there is sand under the rocks on this half round landscaped wall! She discovered that she didn't like sand in her panties! :-)

Kali serenaded me while I put the turkey in the oven for Thanksgiving... It was great!

Our girls!

Uncle John was in town last month. It was great to see him! Kali really warmed up to him and thought it fun to run at him and jump on him. She usually has a problem with me. It was great to watch and I know he LOVED IT!!!

Driven at the Mustard Seed

Mike's band, Driven, has been putting in a lot of hours perfecting their sound! They are AWESOME! We had a night out without kids last month and had a great time! Here is Lamar on rhythm guitar, Brian on lead vocals, and of course my honey Mike on drums. They were loud and awesome!!

Mike
Here is Joe, Chuck (Amanda's husband), Jonny, and Sonya... they were totally lovin' the show!

Mom had a night out without Dad... he had to get up early for opening season for deer.

Sisters! Me, Traci, and Amanda.
