Okay better late than never. Here are the pics from the body venture event from school. The kids really enjoyed the exhibit. The learned alot. I spent my day as the stomach. I had a 5min presentation to teach the kids about what the stomach does. Since, Eli's group was the last of the day, I was able to go through the rest of the exhibit w/him. Which was fun-even when he liked to rat me out for not eating fruits and veggies! :) 
This is Lucas's fav song from the program. Sorry about the video, I have a better one but for some reason the blog doesn't like to upload it. My camera's screen is broken and I couldn't see what I was recording.
Lucas is always good for a laugh. Even on laundry day!
Eli made some sugar cookies for their teachers gifts.
And everyone decorated their teacher's cookies!
My Bff Jules had surgery this week. So, the girls from work and I got a care package together for her. But she isn't gonna be off for too long-because we need her back! LOL! Hear that Jules! Seriously, we hope she has a speedy recovery! Although, I forgot to put a few things in her basket- she really appreciated it!
This Vday weekend, is a girl's weekend to the lake to get some great deals for President's day! I am so excited, because my mom is coming. My mom is so AWESOME and I am looking forward to hanging out w/her! I will fill you in on our great deals when we get back. I have my fingers crossed for another sale at Coach!
Noah has been working for 2 months on studying a "Hero". His hero is Jonas Salk. He wrote an essay for his english class (which his essay was the one choosen from his class to compete in the district competition. WOOHOO!). Next time you see him, ask him what he knows about Jonas.
Here is Lucas w/his pic Molly Lou Melon. A character from a book that his teacher read.
Here is his nutcracker. And you can also see his Kansas book on the left.
Here is Eli w/one of his many stories.
Here is the story.

Noah's classroom had some activities that his class has been doing. Fractions, looking at rocks under microscopes, maps of Hawaii, etc. Noah has some future projects, so come back to check them out. 
And I will leave you w/a writing assignment from Lucas.

The End
After completely trashing the playroom, eating, playing, and more playing. We cleaned up the playroom and the boys were ready to sleep. Ty fell asleep while Lucas and Eli took turns rocking him. And then Eli and Lucas put him to bed. Trevor layed down w/Noah and watched some TV and then as soon as I was sure that Ty was asleep. Noah layed him down. And from what I understand-they both slept well that night! The boys and I were glad to be able to help my brother/sis-in-law out. I am not sure if I should tell them-that most babysitters get paid!
So, for New Years we went to the school skate day but Eli and Lucas didn't really skate. They played games and got vampire teeth! I tried several times to get a pic of Noah-but he just moves too fast around the rink!Here are some videos from our sledding day on "The Beast". I took my turn 1 time and I am still hurting! I am sure glad there is no video of that! Scott and Lucas decided it was too steep. So, they headed further down to a part that wasn't so steep or high. They called it "The Monster". We had such a good time and w/the exception of me - no one was hurt! Yeah! Then we spent the rest of New Year's Eve eating pizza and watching movies. Unfortunately, when we got home-we found a sick Tovi-so a low key New Year's Eve was the best thing!
Noah trying to see how far he can go down standing up!
Eli up next.
Lucas bringing up the rear!
I buried Noah in the snow. We headed indoors to warm up with some hot cider. Then headed to the movies to see Alvin and the Chipmunks- The Squeakquel. Funny and cute! We came home to a crock pot of homemade chicken noodle soup. Yummy!
Cookies for Santa.
Santa Paws. Tovi didn't really like his Santa outfit. But he at least posed for his pic.
Presents!
Tovi took right to all his new toys! 
I didn't take a lot of pics, just tried to enjoy the day. Santa was good to us this year, a new computer for the boys and a 14games in 1 table. Noah and Eli got solar powered building set and Lucas got a building set. Scooters for Noah and Eli and a skateboard for Lucas. Family games for everyone and of course more video games. My brother and his boys came up and we played w/all our new toys and of course went . . . . sledding! When my sis in law was done w/work we had a yummy dinner of roast chicken, loaded potatoes, veggies, salad and biscuits. 
And peanut butter pie for dessert. YUM YUM! Then we head to my mom's so we could do christmas on Wed w/my family. I am so thankful that we all live close and everyone is so flexible about moving holidays-so we can all celebrate together.
Autumn was able to join us and we spent the day, enjoying each other's company and eating!
After presents, my sis in laws and I took Autumn shopping to spend one of her presents a gift card! It was fun girl time. The boys were at home playing wii sports resort or sledding.
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy your time together and remember the things that matter most! God Bless!
