Welcome 2011!

Some new year's eve fun with friends...






a friendly game of wii boxing.



even Linc played a little wii, he's hunting.

But we didn't hang around until midnight. We were too tired after all our Christmas fun. :)

Looking forward to all that is ahead in 2011!!!

Summer Fun...

Hello!

I seem to fall off the grid a bit when summer hits. We have really been enjoying some down time. VBS, vacation, blueberry picking, fun at local parks - have been keeping us busy.

Here are some fun photos of playing with kites in the yard recently. Clothes have been optional for Jack and Linc lately. Jack is wearing underwear in this photo, even though they are hard to see. :)





Linc is all potty trained - he is doing awesome. Jack is still saying funny things but I have been keeping track less well. Ella is missing school a bit. But she is enjoying having down time too. She has to have her tonsils and adenoids removed in a few weeks. :(

We have started a new project - switching the kids rooms around. It will allow us to move Linc to a big boy bed. It may be a very slow project. :) It seems to be happening in small steps. As long as it is done before school starts, it will be fine. Plus, when the rooms started as complete disasters, there is extra work to be done.

Hope to post again soon.

Ella's art project...

Ella has a really fun art program in her school. They have art once a week on Wednesdays. Last Wednesday they made paper sculptures. So Ella got the family paper sculpting.



This is Ella's up close.

We all, even Linc and Jack, sat and cut paper and made beautiful creations. Some people took it a little seriously. Cough, cough, JASON. I guess he thought we were turning them into school. But now we can be sure where Ella got her creativity from.

And here is that fabulous creation made by Jason:



Check out the frog. You can't see it, but he even has a fly on his tongue. You probably didn't know he was an artist...

Fun was had by all!!!!
