The Girls' 1st Pedicures

Oh my, what have I started? I took the girls to get pedicures this morning for doing so good on their report cards. Alyson made all A's & Abby made A's & 1 B. We went to a salon that's just for kids. It's called "Spoiled Rockin". It was a pretty neat place. The girls picked their polish & went to soaking their toesies. Abby was so ticklish (I am too). Alyson was just enjoying it. They got to pick out a toe ring too. They had a great time. It's so fun to do things like this with the girls. :)

Here they are waiting to get started:

Abby's Earrings

I took Abby to get her ears pierced last Saturday. She had been begging to have it done. So, basketball was over & we decided to do it. She was so proud. Fast forward to this week, her ears are no longer pierced!!! She was jumping on the trampoline & one of her earrings got caught in the net surrounding the trampoline & it got jerked out. Her ear was already closing up, we couldn't find her earring, so we just decided to take the other one out too. She now says that she doesn't want to have her ears pierced till she's a teenager. Ha. Bless her heart!!

Eagles Basketball 09-10

I scanned this pic in, so it's not the best quality. This is the girls' basketball pic. I thought it was a really good picture.

Snow Day

These were taken last December. The kids had such a fun time playing in the snow. Abby isn't in any of these, she had spent the night with a friend.

Bryson:

Excuse This House

Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there,
Ours boasts it quite openly,
The signs are everywhere.

For smears are on the windows,
Little smudges are on the doors.
I should apologize, I guess,
For toys strewn on the floor.
But I sat down with my children
And we played and laughed and read.

And if the floor doesn't shine,
Their eyes will shine instead.
For when at times I'm forced to choose
The one job or the other,
I'd like to cook and clean and scrub,
But first I'll be a mother.

Bless Him

Oh goodness, these are so stinkin' funny. He's gonna kill me one day but they're too good not to do a post on.

PRESENTING:

Yes, that's Bryson. Alyson "designed" him. Lordy me, that's what you get when you have two older sisters in the house. I'm sure there are many more years to come with them putting make-up on him, painting his nails & probably even curling his hair at some point, too. Ha Ha!!

Christmas 2009

Here are a few pics from Christmas. We had a great one & we hope you did too!! We can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for our family. :)
