2009 Gingerbread Houses

Every year, my family gets together and we decorate gingerbread houses. My mom bakes up the gingerbread molds and gets it all put together. Then my siblings and I come over with our families and spend the afternoon decorating. The kids have a great time, and it's a wonderful tradition we look forward to all year.

Bryce's House....I think his most simplest one yet. He used all the candy he knew he would eventually eat off of it! Good thinkin' Bryce! :)



Eryn's House....simple and cute. Usually I help her out every year, but this year she wanted to do it all alone, looks great Eryn!



Kaitlyn's House....Your guess is as good as mine as to what is coming out of each side of her house. It looks like a gigantic catapiller eating it's way through! She loves it and so do we!! :)




I think this years turned out great! I had some great pics of everyone else's....way cute and so creative....but they are on my iphone, and I can't figure out how to sync it up to Kyle's MAC to download. Sorry Steph, Kyle, Andrea, & Greg.....I'll try to post those pics soon.

Here it is ladies......can't wait to see it!!

First Day of School

Well sadly I didn't get any pics of Bryce on his first day of 7th grade!! I know, bad mother! Anyways, I thought I would get one of him after he got home, but then forgot.....I always have good intentions, which really is what counts in my eyes :)
I did manage to get one of the girls at the school as I was dropping them off. I had to laugh, as soon as Eryn saw her friends, she really didn't want anything to do with me or a picture. As you can tell, she was not into it. On the other hand....look at Kaitlyn's. She is beaming and loving that her pic is getting taken. I figure I'll only have one more year before she's not into it either.



I think that it's cute, that even at 9 and 7 years old, they love to dress alike. It's like I have twins!

Eryn turns 9!! (almost a week and a half ago) ;)

Eryn had a swimming party for her birthday. I am so disappointed that I didn't have my camera with me at the pool. Her and her friends were having so much fun and were jumping in holding hands and doing tricks. Take my word for it....it was way cute!



Eryn's new fish...Junior

Eryn has such a fun and loving personality, I can't imagine our family without her. We love you Eryn!!!!

For Stephanie

My little sister has made note of my lack of blogging over the last several months. She still checks everyday...how sweet. So I thought since she just got married, I would share a few pics of her special day. Love ya Steph!


Presenting....Mr. and Mrs. Kyle Atwood!!!!

Watch and Sing Along

I love the Sound Of Music. Whenever it's on TV, we always sit down as a family and watch it, sing along, and continue singing the songs throughout the following days. I was sent this email of this video on youtube and loved it! I wish I were there to join in.
Watch it.....it'll put a smile on your face!
