{Basketball Boys}

Mr E & Mr A have really been into basketball lately so we brought them up to the park so The Mr could teach them some things and we could all have some fun.....and of course I could take some pictures.....lol..... :-D

{First Day of School 2009}

It's here again already.....school! Goodness....the summers really do fly by....it's amazing! I remember as a child remembering how fast the summers went by....and now...they still do! I can still recall the begining of the summer thinking of all the things we wanted to do this summer lol and now school has started again already!
I got up and made the boys chocolate chip pancakes and english muffins with ham, cheese and eggs....which is something they LOVE! And then for a treat I made them rice crispy treats for and after school snack. Both of which are special treats for them because we don't do breakfast at home since we get free meals they eat breakfast at school...and they get home about 4...and we eat dinner at 5:30...so it's a small quick healthy snack after school usually.....fridays I try to make something 'special' :-D
We're off to a good start. :-) I was able to take pictures by the front door again this year. I know that I don't have the same front door in all their pictures with all our moves, but I try to get their pictures by our front door on their first day. :-D

Mr E started 3rd grade this year!

Mr A started 2nd grade this year!


I also got some pics of Mr T & Little Mr this morning but I just didn't have the energy to upload, crop, and download them tonight....I did the two that actually went to school this year...lol....I'll try and get theirs tomorrow. :-D

{Secret Society of Thursday}

Here are our RockStars! Secret Society of Thursday.....is the band that Mr E came up with for RockBand. Isn't that an awesome band name?? lol Love it! :-) I have a video too that I'm going to try and figure out how to get on here. :-) I know I can....just gotta sit down with the time to do it. :-)
I'm really glad that we ended up with this game....it has been a great time with our family. :-) Little Mr will even join in with them. lol He'll grab a microphone and sing into it....or if he can get to a guitar before one of the boys I've seen him try to rock it! lol :-)

{Sing...Baby...Sing}

Last night we had our friends, Billy & Kacy, over and their four kids too....We love hanging out all together. :-) We are very grateful to have friends like Billy & Kacy. :-)
Well, we got the SingStar game for Christmas....and all of our children LOVE to play it when they are hanging out.....I have to admit it's pretty cute to watch them all sing, and even dance! :-) We play this game as a family too.....if you haven't tried it....it's a blast! :-) Right Amanda?!? lol
So last night they were all singing and dancing their hearts out.....since we have four disks now (Thank You Amanda!)...it's pretty easy to do.....and Little Mr got ahold of one of the mics, and he put it up to his mouth and started making noises in it! TOO CUTE FOR WORDS!!! :-) And this morning he was doing it again! lol

{Playing in the Snow with Daddy}

Elisha making snow balls to throw...

Mr A making snow balls also.....

Mr T eating the snow.....again.....lol

I went out and was driving Mom around to get some of her Christmas shopping done since it was snowing. The Mr was watching the boys.....Thank you My Love!....and he went outside with them to play in the snow. They ALL made snow angels, and The Mr sent me a pic of his on the phone, but I don't know how to get them off the phone yet. :-) But these are still cute pics of the boys that he took for me. :-)

{Playing in the Snow}

Since it snowed, the boys couldn't just stay inside where it was warm & cozy.....nope....they had to get all bundled up & go play in the cold. I am so greatful that I was able to simply take a few pictures & then shut the sliding glass door to watch them from there. :-)

Mr A getting ready to throw a snow ball at Mr E...

Mr E & Mr A gathering as much snow as they could find to try & make a snowman...

Mr T eating some snow...

{Tight}

Friday night we watched Korie & Byran's boys....they have a great time playing together. I love how easily more kids fit into our home.....we had six boys and I hardly noticed the difference. lol I know that this picture is a little blurry but it was the one that I was able to get all six boys in. :-) They were racing cars in the entry way......and everytime Mr A did what he was trying to do he said it was 'tight'.....lol.....it is funny the different phrases we go through.....

I remember using the word cool as a teenager.....and my Opa hated it.....if you didn't use the word with the original meaning then it wasn't being done correctly. :-) Now the kids come home saying things like that too.....and I just smile and laugh and remember being a kid. :-)
