Okay a little more caught up....

SuperBowl Party....

This year we celebrated at Ken and Emily's house (THANKS). We enjoyed Sub sandwhiches and all the party foods. Then we settled in to cheer (can you guess who we wanted to win??). The cousins all got to play while the adults watched the game. Wow, What a night.

Still a little bihind.....

New Years Eve...
This year we spent the night with the Terry's. We spent the night in a hotel. WE let the kids go swimming, then we went to dinner at Training Table, we played games (until 2 in the morning), we got little sleep and started the day with breakfast and more swimming. It is always fun and very exhausting. On New Years Day we went shopping for me (need new clothes after surgery) and went to Brenda and Mikes for more games and playing. We had a great day.

Christmas Day....

We celbrated in the morning with the Parry's. The traditional breakfast. Open gifts and then run off to the Terry's. We stopped at my grandma Terry's for lunch. Then off to my parents to exchange gifts and visit. Lots of food, lots of love, lots of presents and a lot of tired bodies. What a great day we shared with everyone.

Sophie, well this is what she did with every gift

YEAH!!!! Adam got me a Cricut Expressions

(BOO I did not get any pictures of Adam opening his gifts, which were shoes)

Potty Training...

YEAH!! We have finally accomplished the dirty task of potty training. Jessica finally about two weeks ago said she was ready and we have had great success since then. We even make it dry at nap times. She has almost figured out the poop thing too. Wow I never thought this day would come. (We started this trial about 4 months ago.)

Kids Christmas Program

Each year the kids have a christmas program where each grade performs two songs. The gym gets packed full of parents and loved ones coming to see the kids. The past few years have been fun because Alyson(Nana) has been able to attend. The kids get excited to see her and she is a big help with JJ and Sophie while I try to tape it. This year we were lucky enough to get the front row, thanks to Bliss arriving an hour early to save seats. The kids did awsome and it always puts me in more of the Chirstmas spirit.

TROUBLE!!

I thought that Jessica was my hand full. Sophie empties every drawer she can get here hands on. I also have to keep the diaper bag up or put away out of sight. Needless to say I have become somewhat of a hovering mom. I don't want her to get into anything she can get hurt by. And yes I am lazy and don't want to put the locks on everything because this is our last child and it seems a little pointless now.

Thanksgiving Pictures

So while looking through pictures I realized that because I was so dopped up on pain killers I really didn't take any. So here is a picture of the Parry Thanksgiving on the Sunday after with the grandkids that were awake. (Three babies were all sleeping.)

This is a picture of Adam trying to wash my hair on that Sunday. I could barely bend over because of my "girdle" and all the padding they had on me. Sophie did not want to miss anything. (It was because she had been bounced around to so many people that week that she was a LITTLE, okay a lot, clingy.)
