Family Christmas Pics 2011

So after my blog not working for months and months, and our computer hasn't been working properly for months and months, today...finally I'm able to get on and post, just in time for my sister in law to send me the pictures she took of our family this Christmas. She took this great one of the kids and took pics of each individual that I've posted on the side of my blog!  I think they turned out pretty good, for a last minute picture! :) Now, I gotta get my computer back up to speed with all the pictures that have been taken in the last 8 months, and post what's been going on!!! YIPEE!!!!

MY BLOG WORKS AGAIN!

I've been trying since March to post more things on my blog, and for some reason, I could make a post and add pictures, but it wouldn't let me publish! Now the blog has a new setting, so I switched to it, and lo and behold, I was able to post my pictures from Easter, that have been just sitting there waiting to be published! YEAH!
So glad I can start posting pictures to my blog again!!!!

MARISSA'S 11TH BIRTHDAY

It was Marissa's 11th Birthday on March 14th. She invited 3 of her best friends Sami, Kaitlyn and Cassidy to go roller skating.

It was dark but, they are the 4 with glow sticks around their necks!

Marissa blowing our her candles.

Opening up her presents...lots of nail polish...yeah!

$20 bucks and a good book!

The girls spent the night, first sleepover with a group of girls I've let her have. They were up by 6am!

They booged all morning to Just Dance and Sing it!

I think the party was a success! Marissa had a lot of fun and the girls are all such good kids!

KALLIE "THE BEAST"

Kallie just started her indoor soccer league...I don't like how small these little fields are, but she still has fun!

Kallie warming up with a nice goal!

Kallie with her determined face

Kallie faking the goalie out!

Kallie making 1 of her 4 goals!

And another!

And taking off for another!!

Off again!

Then she took her chance at goalie and not one ball got past her!

This girl is going to be a great athlete. She may be small, but she is out to win! I LOVE IT!

Mr. Kick-Back and Relax

Lately this kid won't eat ANYTHING...and he acts like he wants everything, but I give it to him and he spits it out. Well ONE thing that I found he WILL eat is mcdonalds hamburgers and fries.....

When this kid finally finds something he likes, he kicks up his leg on the table and chows down!

He just sits back and relaxes! I wanna know what they put in that mcdonalds food, its never a disappointment for kids!

I think I might start eating like this! :)

PINEWOOD DERBY MANIA!

Saturday Parker participated in the District Pinewood Derby and won 1st in his wolf division and 1st OVERALL with a record breaking time!

He received two 1st place trophies and 2 certificates. Jason and Parker called the car "Black Mamba" (I think..something like that..ha ha)! Parker also has his name in the paper today twice on the front page. Check out visaliatimesdelta.com

He also had his 1st Pinewood Derby a couple months ago in our old ward, but I didn't post pictures. He got 3rd in this race. But this race wasn't as exciting, without the electronic equipment. Having 80 year old men at the finish line doesn't keep things very accurate.

All the kiddos at the 2nd Ward Derby.

Most of the boys from our old ward. Parker's best friend Andre is standing right next to him...with glasses too. Unfortunately we had to change wards and they are no longer in the same ward. FORTUNATELY though are new ward has their pinewood derby coming up in May! I don't think Parker and Jason could be any happier!
