Playing at the Park

We decided to take the kids to the park on Saturday. IT was such a nice day outside, it was hard to resist! Megan LOVES the swings... although several people took her out, when she ran in front of them.


These seats are crazy... they spin and spin... Maddy always comes home from the park just a little queazy!


Check out Mitchell's shiner from the park. He slipped walking up the stairs to the slide. He had a swollen, black and purple bruise that lasted a good week!

Is Spring really here?

Megan and Mitchell were thrilled at all of the "Popcorn" on the trees outside. We took the kids for some fun at the park. They had a blast! Much better than our last park excursion, where Mitchell got a huge black eye, and Megan was taken out twice by running in front of people on the swings.

Chicken Pox still exist!

Justin was running a high fever all weekend long. It carried into Monday. This morning when he woke up the fever was gone... but something was left in its place.... CHICKEN POX! "Oh, that's right... he's the only one who didn't have the Varicella vaccine!" Yikes!!! They just keep coming! Poor kid! I had to call my mom to ask what chicken pox looked like.. because I had never seen them before (that I could remember). Soo... here are the pics... post Calamine rub down from Mom!

The front view

Close up of the chest!

The back is UGLY!

He's still a cute kid... even covered in "Pox"!

Crazy Kids!!

Our Children are Crazy!!! I remember when Justin and Mike were not young... Shane would wrestle with them on the floor. He says his back can't take it any more (He must be getting old!) Luckily, Justin, who is now almost 13 loves to wrestle with his younger siblings... and they love it too! They were making us laugh so much the other night

Justin, the human horse!

Maddy finally pulled a tooth, all on her own!

Megan, our silly nut!

The kids rang in the New Year

The kids rang in the New Year... early, before the other guests arrived. Mike is on a cruise with his "Mams and Pompy" (Marlo's parents). Lucky! I wonder what Disney cruise does to celebrate New Years Eve! Can't wait to hear all about it!

New Years Eve Bash

Happy New Years!!! We had lots of guests that didn't hang to "ring in" the New Year with us... but we had a great time! Thanks for the memories!

Family Pics

Why do we subject ourselves to family pictures!!! Luckily, my friend Becky captured the good side of us. Despite my stress, and of course a few breakdowns before we got there. Notice Megan, not wearing shoes! (Who put her in the car without shoes!!!) Oh well! Thanks Beck!
