Silly girl… always dressing up and jumping off of everything!

These are some pictures of Rose after we took her high pony tail down when we got home from going out to eat for my birthday with the Pond grandparents.  (Thanks again, guys)  She was workin’ it!

Reading over the break…

We didn’t get as much reading done as I wanted to over the break, but we did enjoy these two books.  Both Noelle and Anna Kate were awesome listeners and enjoyed these stories very much!  Nothing flashy like our girls, but then again, you can’t read a book by its cover, now can you!?!  🙂

Happy New Year 2013!

We had our annual PJ party with the Fearings and the Kellys on New Year’s Eve.  Here are all the kids with their sparkling grape juice seconds before midnight!

Anna Kate and Landon have turned into quite the little buds… didn’t hear a peep out of them all night!  Activity after activity, they just kept playing and playing so well together!

We can usually always find Rose playing in their play kitchen (with random shoes on)!

Noelle’s so cool!  She found a dance-a-long on my computer (I don’t know how), and the girls had fun doing that for quite a while!

Here are all the kids this year: Rose (shoe change), Isabella, Layla, Macy, Noelle, Anna Kate and Landon (plus Logan below)

Man oh man, the Fearings make one cute boy after another!!! 

IMG_2619

I’m good without a boy until I kiss a face that looks like this!!!  Oh well, at least I can love on these kids and then give them back for the hard work, lol! 

IMG_2622 IMG_2627

Love these animal print crazies with all I’ve got!

Movie time!

IMG_2637

I just love this picture of the kids all bundled up and ready to watch a movie!

IMG_2645 IMG_2649

That didn’t last long… back to kitchen time.  What happened to the sink girls?  Guess you don’t have to wash dishes, ha! 

IMG_2690 IMG_2695

We let the kids jump as high as they can on New Years… it’s tradition! (for at least a couple more years anyway, then it will be Rose and Logan’s turn)!

Rose washed a Barbie in the sink and got all wet, so here’s outfit number 2… still remember Noelle in these pjs… she’s adorable and gets away with a lot because of it!

More jumping = Happy kids

Rose is about done!

IMG_2715 IMG_2700

She’s trying to hang on by being silly!

Saying night night to my buddy!

Color time!

Wishing Anna Kate a Happy New Year!  She was here there and everywhere tonight so I wanted to grab her and tell her “Happy New Year!”

Noelle and I are pretty much connected at the hip!  She loves a good party and can’t wait until next year.  She’s our holiday queen, and my little buddy!

IMG_2768

Noelle took the camera and took a picture of Mike and me right after midnight cuddling on the couch… she’s so thoughtful!

IMG_2774 IMG_2776

Rose walked over to Noelle and me while we were being silly for Daddy.  She wanted in on the action, even though she was seconds away from bed time! 

IMG_2579 IMG_2675

Noelle’s posing with our twizzler and m&m decoration/candy tradition we have each year to bring in the new year.  Noelle reminded us about it the day of and said we couldn’t have new year’s eve without it.  She loves traditions!  Here’s Mike and my champagne!  🙂

Ty’s the best friend anyone could ever ask for… we’re so happy he’s happy!

Happy New Year, everyone!  Hope your first week was off to a great start! 

New Year’s Eve

January 2nd, 2013

These silly girls had so much fun picking out their pjs and getting ready for our New Year’s Eve party!  They spent a lot of time putting together these two outfits in particular, and came downstairs and said, “Mommy, we’re your waitresses, and we brought you a cotton candy margarita!”  There’s nothing better than hangin’ with the Pond girls!

Happy New Year!
