my crazy, fun loving family

Last weekend my sister and John were able to make a trip home for a visit.  So mom decided it would be a good time to get a Christmas Card picture done.  It was entertaining and crazy all at the same time.  Always a challenge to get us all looking in the same direction, eyes open and use the time delay.  Good time!!

 

Here's the crew plus the little sweet baby girl in my sisters tummy!!!!

Grandpa and Gram with their challenging, funny, and over the top crazy grandkids.

Mom had asked to have a picture of all her kids with their spouses but we went with the 3 originals. 

Never a dual moment.

 

SNOW!!!!!!

 

Monday morning came and these 3 couldn't get outside fast enough to enjoy the snow that had fallen over night.  We had huge snowballs being built, snowman, snow angles and oh course eating snow.  Lots of fun was had Monday!  I'd say it was a GREAT day off from school.

Quarter 1....... completed!!

First quarter of school is always filled with so many things that I look forward to such as school pictures and teacher conferences. 

 

 I actually love seeing the kids school pictures each year and comparing them to last years.  Amazing how much they change in just 1 year. 

 

As for Teacher Conferences Josh and I couldn't be more proud of our boys and how well they are both doing in school.  Both are doing an excellent job and improving each week with their skills.  Makes a mom so happy to see that your kids hard work pays off and puts a huge smile on their face when they see and hear just how well they are doing.  Love you both and are very proud of you both.  Keep up the good work.
