Our Jr Kaw #13

We have another first at our house...BASKETBALL! Jaedin is playing basketball this year and LOVES it. Eric and I both love the sport (and for our kids to be active) so we are ecstatic! Her team has been practicing since the beginning of December but they just had their first game. At the kindergarten level, they do not keep score. The kids are having lots of fun and that's the main goal. Coach Turner (Eric) is doing a great job with the kids and they are really learning some important fundamentals. I honestly think he is enjoying it just as much as they are. We are very proud of our #13 ~ GO JAE!!!

C O O K I E S ! ! ! !

Jaedin sold 101 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies! This is her first year of scouts and she set herself a goal...to sell 100 boxes. SHE DID IT! We are very proud of her and her earned badges. We had a lot of fun sorting out the cookies (thanks for your help too, Paige!). Now we just have to get them ALL delivered. Fun, fun!

Saturday Night = Game Night!!!!

We were in desperate need of some adult interaction...and the kids were in desperate need of some new playmates so we decided to have some friends over for a night of laughs. We played Partini...3 times...boys against girls...guess who cheated & won??? All in good fun, of course!


The kids being silly!


We heard a lot of giggling!!!


Yes, my glasses are taped. They are my favorite and broke right before our company arrived. Very sophisticated, huh?


Bouncers!


Good times!


Too much fun for these beloved glasses!

Let Us OUT!!!!

We might be going just a little stir-crazy from being stuck at home. Here's some pictures of our fun...


More EasyBake cooking...


Yes, those are teethmarks...on Talin's side. Ouch! Bet you can guess who left them...

3 Little Reasons...

why I LOVE nap time!!!!

More SNOW DAY fun...

We are home-bound due to the extreme cold temperatures and a mommy who does not want to get out! The new snow looks beautiful but we have just enjoyed it through the windows this time. Looks like a 4-day weekend full of indoor fun for us!

Jaedin is a big fan of the Wii and Wii Fit...Remi really wanted to do it with her so I made her a "mini" version so she could be like her big sis. So sweet!

Luckily, I keep tubs of toys put up for occasions like this...the kids love to see what toys are in them. Talin took advantage of the opportunity to check out each and every toy in the tub. A little boy in heaven ~ and very proud!

Hello EasyBake Oven!

The box says 8+ but my wonderful sister thought her niece needed an EasyBake Oven for her 6th birthday. (Ha, paybacks!) Anyway, I finally broke down and opened the box and decided we should try it out. I now know why it has an age limit. :-) The kids LOVED it (& actually ate the funny tasting treats) and beg everyday to bake more. We now have placed "EasyBake treat packets" on the grocery list...can't wait!

And The Next American Idol is...

Remingtin Mae Turner!!!

The kids love the karaoke machine! We might just have a performer on our hands...they do watch their dad a lot! :-) I thought these pics were too cute not to share.

Remi's Resolution...

Remingtin was lucky and got lots of new "big girl undies" for her 2nd birthday & Christmas. We are trying hard to keep them dry...in fact, she likes to visit the bathroom VERY often. Fingers are crossed we can be a diaper-free house SOON!

2nd Annual NYE Party...

We decided to make our NYE party a tradition...glad we did! We had a lot of fun playing cards, ping pong, Jenga, darts, singing karaoke and just laughing with our friends & family. Last year, we invested in the karaoke machine - so glad we did! (Eric has turned out to be quite the performer!) This year, we invested in a real ping pong table. The kids are so excited to have the new "toy" in the shop. Thanks to everyone who braved the snow and cold temps to join us. Lots of memories!!!
