Sick kids.....

We have been feeling sort of "cruddy" at our house this week. Now with all of the flu, strep, and whooping cough cases being diagnosed I was a little worried. I took all of the kids in for a check-up today! Thankfully everyone was ok, nothing serious! They handed them all a mask just for safety when we first went in. The girls were less than thrilled, MaKall on the other hand thought it was great and wants to wear his to school.

MaKall studying for his science test!! (poor guy is worn out)

The girls waiting on their test results at the doctor!! (don't they look happy, haha)

Who wants to play Wii ????

If you have not played a Wii ..... you need to!! It is the most fun!! We were finally able to find one for the kids this week. We have been calling and looking since the day after Christmas. We have been having sooooo much fun playing these games. It is funny to watch each other react and be so serious about the game that is going on. (Like we really need another reason to laugh at each other)

Proof of my bragging........

Today was the elementary awards assembly for the first semester!! High school does not have an assembly until the end of the year!! Here are a few pictures that I took!! I am very proud, can you tell ???

MaKenzie with her all A's & citizenship of the semester!!! ( I think she learned that from her mom, haha)

MaKall with his all A's certificate (notice Mr. Love (principal) directly behind him)

MaKall, however, did not recieve the citizenship award......wonder why?? (notice principal now)

Bragging rights.....

Just wanted to tell everyone that today was report card day!! We got three report cards with nothing but A's!!! We are so proud of them all!! MaKenzie breezes through everything, MaKall is doing soooo great studying, and MaKayla is jumping right into those pre-AP courses!!

Just pictures!!!

A rare occassion.......

Here are some pictures of William and I at the Christmas party!! It is rare for there to be pictures of us together!! Normally I am the one behind the camera!!

A new year.....

Happy New Year!!!! I know, I am a little late, but what is new!?! There has been a lot going on around here and it seems that I can never find enough time to log in anymore. Everything is starting to get back to a normal routine or at least as normal as we can get. William and the kids went back to work and school on Wed. the 2nd and I have spent that time repairing the house from everyone being home since before Christmas!! We had a wonderful time with everyone being home together! That much family time doesn't come often enough for me!! We done a little running around, a little work around home and a lot of fun stuff together. We sure do know how to have fun, if I don't say so myself. HAHA!! Here are a few pictures, just snapshots that I wanted to share.
