Tyler turned 7

So like every year Tyler turned 7 on January 28th. My Mom and Dad surprized Tyler on his birthday by taking him and our family to Chucky Cheeses. He has been begging us to take him there for his birthday but with us getting a house soon we needed to save as much as we can, so my beloved Mother and Father REALLY made his day special. He and the kids played all the games and then had cake and opened a few presents. I can't believe how big this kid is getting. He is still staying ahead of Kristin in the height and weight department he is 51 inches tall and weighs 58 lbs. He is so funny whenever someone talks to him they ask his name and he says "Tyler" and then says "and I am taller than my sister." I have to laugh every time at that comment, because he has such a proud face when he says it. I love you Tyler!!! Happy Birthday.

It looks like a house

We went by this Sunday to look how our house is coming along and were so surprised to see it up. Just last week there was concrete. It's just so amazing how fast it is going. Can't wait to go next week to see how it will look.

Sheila my sis had her baby January 13, 2009. 6 lbs. 15 oz. 19 inches long. She has a full head of hair and is as cute as a button. She came home today from the hospital and is happy to be home in her own bed. Congratulations!!!

Our house

Here is what our house looked like a couple of days ago. The 12th of January. They had the basement and the garage concrete poured. So they will start framing this week sometime. I am so excited. Most of you know that this will be our first real home. That's why I am SO EXCITED!!

David turns 29

On January 7th, 1980 my beloved husband was born on this day. To celebrate we went out for dinner with his brothers and sister to Chilis and then to a movie. While we were waiting for the movie to start David and his youngest brother Michael played Dance revolution. Michael beat him twice and the the last time David won. So I guess I can say David danced the night away. Happy Birthday and I love you.

New Years Eve Bash

New Years Eve Davids twin reserved his cultural hall for all of our family to play games all night. We played volleyball, Dodgeball, and basketball. The kids played rock band the ENTIRE time. We had so much fun pigging out and running around. It was a fun way to end the year. Happy New Years!! David and his boys

Its been a while..

Ok so here is the gingerbread house that we put together.

The kids opening up their presents from Santa. Kristin got a Sleeping Beauty Doll, Camron got a game called Rhino Rampage. Tyler got a Batman costume where when you press a button on the belt the wings come out. Pretty cool.

Here is Luke my cute cousin Jen's little boy

Tyler was angry about something and here is Hayden my brother's boy.

So I know I havent blogged for a while. With the holiday season it got busy and then the new year and family gatherings and so on... The most exciting thing is that we are waiting for our house to be built. Currently they are in the process of framing and they expect to be done some time in March. Also my internet is acting weird and it wont let me download pictures on here. Everytime I go to download a picture it kicks me off the internet. You probably won't see very many pictures because of this reason until I get it worked out. Anyways Camron has stayed home from school yesterday and today he has strep. I took him to instacare and the doctor took one look at his throat and confirmed it. He is doing much better today because the medicine finally kicked in. I love happy healthy kids. Also Sheila my sis had her 2nd child on Tuesday the 13th. A healthy little girl Alexis Ann. She weighed in at 16 lbs. 15 oz. and 19 inches long. She has a beautiful set of brownish blonde hair and is as cute as can be. David stuffing his face with marshmallows so he didn't have to smile. I think I like his smile better.
