Rollerblades

One of the first things we did in Illinois is buy my kids new rollerblades. We wanted them to enjoy getting out of the house. This is the kids rollerblading down our sidewalk. We were very lucky cause it was still freezing cold in Utah but here it was already starting to warm up. We have definitely been enjoying the beautiful weather here. We eat dinner outside on our deck nearly every day.

Kindergarten Graduation

Addi loved kindergarten.

Family Fitness Fair

The last school activity was the Family Fitness fair. My kids love it.

Missing teeth

Addi lost her first tooth and she also lost the dollar that the tooth fairy brought. She may have a problem.

Friends

My kids have so many wonderful friends. We love them. I usually have about 6 little girls in my house and 4 boys.

Matching Jammies

We had such a great time when Holly and her kids stayed with us for New Years. We found these Mommy and me jammies on sale at Kohls. We all wore our jammies that night and watched Sorcerers Apprentice.

Addi's 5 year old pictures

I really had to fight with Addi on what she was going to wear! Holly took these pictures for me because I needed a new one of Addi. I think they turned out really cute!

Bubbles

What a fun bath jets make. Look at all those bubbles!

New Years 2011

Such cute girls. They all just love to play with eachother.

New Years Family Party

Such fun being with the cousins! New Years was a lot of fun. We had a party at our house. We played charades, ate yummy food, and had a midnight toast. I am so glad so many of my sisters and their families could come!

Cousins

Macey and Addi just love to be together. When they were staying with us they decided they were dress alike one day. They got these skirts from Grandma Christensen a couple of years ago. Holly took these pictures with her fantastic camera that I am totally jelouse of.

Gingerbread Houses

Rhett's is the top and Addi's is the bottom.
After Christmas these went on sale so I bought them and the kids had a great time making them and the best part was that it took very little supervision.

Christmas 2010

Addi got a Karaoke machine that she just loves. Addi is always playing music. One of her favorites is Micheal Jackson. Sometimes I feel like I have a teenager! She listens to music in her room all day and I am constantly telling her to turn it down!

I admit I was really bad about taking pictures this year!

Jingle Jam 2010

The kids love doing their Jingle Jam sadly I was not able to go this year because Lola was sick. I had the kids do a private performance for me at home.

Halloween

Yes I realize Halloween is long over. But I have not been getting around to blogging as well as I use to. Capri came from North Carolina at Halloween time. Which was a lot of fun. Ginger kids also went trick or treating with us. The kids had a great time trick or treating with Tyler and his Dad while us girls stayed home and had a great time.
