Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

So my great sis-in-law, showed me how to get around the fact that I had used all of my photo space. Thx Jules. I won't try to catch up up on everything but here are some pics from Christmas that I wanted to share.

 The Princess V- notice that even the babies are hooked on devices!!!

 Trevor is pretty good gamer, Noah doesn't like it when he gets out scored by his little cousin!

 Colin in a moment of stillness but blink and he is gone.

 Awww aren't they cute.

 Look at my handsome nephew Jordan. He is 14 now, man it goes by too fast!

 Scott playing on his iphone. Shocker!!!

 Grandma and Grandpa can't wait to open their presents.

 Lucas is so excited for Ty to open his gift.

 Present opening in full swing.

 Princess got some my little pony.

 Lucas showing Trevor a game. I am still shocked at how well my parents wireless held up to all the devices!
We had a great day celebrating with the family. I never get tired of watching the boys interacting with their cousins. I am so thankful that my family lives so close!
The boys and I had a relaxing Christmas, Noah woke up everyone early! But not 6am like he threatened, who ever said kids are less excited for Christmas as they age has never met my child! We went to the movies with my parents and just enjoyed our time together.

 Stockings

 Eli likes his new book ends.

 The boys got plenty to organize their new desks.

 Cheese!

Tovi checking out his presents.

I always feel that the holidays sneak up on me and then are gone too fast. I wish I could pause life to savor every moment. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!

Happy 10th Birthday Lucas!

For the fourth and hopefully final attempt to post this pic! I will not be so wordy as I don't want my post deleted again before I finish. Lucas couldn't decide what to do for his birthday, so we went to the place that has everything so he didn't have to!

 Where is the pizza?

 Eli and his funny faces.

 Eat up boys if you want cake.

 Presents!

 Some money for a new bike.

 Cake?

 Hi Aunt Julie!

 Helicopter

 Cake?

 Cousin buddies.

 Legos

 Finally Cake!?!?

 Oh no Colin there is more cake!

 Onto games, laser tag, go karts and more!

 Line was too long at laser tag.

 Onto go karts and look who had already got on the go karts. Uncle Andrew. Shocker, I didn't know he liked go karts!

 One princess, where is the other? Eating, so no pic of princess Cassi!

 Finally laser tag!

Here is a pic of Lucas's birthday bike! He was so excited to get his first bike ride in. He has taken several since. I am hoping to get this published before it crashes again. But I have some more football pics and more family fun to share, so come back and see what we are up too.

Go Vikings #20!!!!!

Noah is playing football this year. He is really enjoying it. He had his first game and is did a great job! I took my good camera to his second game but my battery died after taking pics of Lucas :(

The team won 28-0! Go Vikings!



 

 

Lucas has his Viking pride ready for the 2nd game. And then my battery died!!! I plan to have a fully charged camera for game #3!!! Unfortunately, Noah's team lost but they did very well against a very good team!

Welcome baby Cassi!

Well, its another girl! My brother and his wife had their second daughter Cassandra Elizabeth. I say they just need to have 6 more girls to even out the grandkids! She is by far the biggest weighting over 9lbs at birth. She came a little earlier than we thought but both mom and baby are home and doing great!

 I made this blanket and had a first attempt at making a hat. Not too bad!

 We took my brother and his wife dinner and the boys got to meet their new cousin. Eli was too worried that he would break her to hold her. But he did give her a sweet kiss.

While Noah was holding her, he texted his girlfriend about how cute she is awwwww! Welcome to the family princess Cassi!
