Last Post for 2010!

Hopefeully I will do better about posting in 2011...for now here are some pics and videos from our wonderful Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!! Here is the gang at church before Daddy sang his solo on Christmas Eve - we got busy and forgot to have someone take our traditional family photo...oh well...as you can see Kassidy was NOT in the mood for pictures anyway!




After church we go home and the girls get to open one present - which is always new pajamas!

Kassidy's elf ears cracked me up!

This girl is better entertainment than cable....

She LOVES to sing!

The favorite present for the big girls was their much desired Nintendo DS lite they got from Grandma!

I like them b/c they entertain the girls and keep them quiet when it is too cold to play outside! they tend to get cabin fever after being cooped up for too long.

Kassidy was enthralled with her gifts - she LOVED to help everyone else open their gifts too!

Everyone was pleased with what Santa gave them

Happy Holidays to everyone ---- more to come in 2011! God Bless!

Our Kitty Jynx has the patience of Job...

I think that Jynx must have used up his nine lives so he is stuck being patient with this wild child of mine...he is SO good with her, it is amazing. As you can see she hasn't quite grasped the concept of "be gentle"! OUCH!

We are finding that Kassidy is a jabber jaw - BIG TIME! She does try and repeat what we say a lot - and sometimes she just babbles...like this:

As you can guess life is never dull at our house...Saige is entrenched in basketball now and has found her niche. She has made an average of 3-5 baskets per game, which is pretty darn good for her first season ever playing! She loves to read and is addicted to a series about fairies...they have books about pet fairies, color fairies, days of the week fairies...she has them all, I think!But I am happy to see she shares my love of reading - and we like that the school book orders are much cheaper than Barnes and Noble!

Mallory is loving kindergarten and having friends of her own. She is enjoying her first go around with Upward Cheer and likes to perform. (she's a girly prom queen type - where did she come from?) Kassidy does well sitting through the games and watching her big sisters in action.

Giggling Goof

Kassidy is training to be a card shark....she is practicing with the girls Dora crazy eights cards.
This video makes me crack up...Kassidy just LOVES her new giraffe she got for her birithday from a dear friend, Joyce. She is a hoot.

That's all for now....gotta get Saige to basketball practice...we are always on the go!

Thanksgiving and Disney on Ice!

As you can see Kassidy didn't quite make it to eat Thanksgiving dinner with the rest of us...she literally fell asleep while she was eating! I would put the spoon to her lips and she would take a bite, all while her eyes were closed! It was hilarious! It was a lot of excitement for a little one. We had a great Thanksgiving - we have a lot to be thankful for.

Grandma, Mallory, Kassidy and I went to see Disney on Ice yesterday - Saige didn't come with us as she is going today with a friend. It was a fabulous show - as always!

Kassidy was enthralled with watching everything...she took a short nap about halfway through and woke up happy as a clam and enjoyed the second half of the show.
Mallory had to get the cotton candy as it came with this nifty crown.

Here is a video of Kassidy watching the show - she was waving and she had to take breaks for some goldfish crackers as she h as a figure to maintain!

Kassidy loved Mickey and Minnie Mouse as she knew who they were since they are featured on her diapers!

Mallory liked all of the princesses and the characters from all of the shows.

Now Thanksgiving is over and it is time to think about getting out the Christmas tree...ugh, that will be a challenge this year with a little curious one! You tell Kassidy no and she will turn around and look at you, grin, and do it again! ACK! I think it is the red hair?

Learning to use the new camera...

OK it is naptime and we are having a meltdown, but I thot I would post this new video...I am learning to take them with the new camera. As you can see Kassidy is quite taken with her sisters...even when they play a bit rough!

Enjoy!
