Mt. Hood Snow Fun

Some more pics of our fun-filled day

Little Johns Sno-Park Mt. Hood

We were finally able to go up to the mountain and play in the snow.....It was soooo much fun and we all had a blast.....

We thought this video of Michael and Braxton going down the mountain was pretty silly...

The Girls...

The Girls in our 3-d glasses.......after going to the Hannah Montana concert movie.......yes, we are Hannah Montana fans......we had alot of fun last Saturday going to the movie......it was pretty cool because it was in 3-d.......it was fun to have a girls day.....the girls were so happy that they even got some popcorn.....they had fun dancing and singing along with the movie....Madison kept giving me hugs and telling me this was the best day ever.......Makenna kept asking me when we were going home....I thought it was because she was bored (she has never been one to sit thought a movie at the theater) when she would ask me if it was time to go home, I would ask her if she wanted to go home and she said nope this is much more fun than going home.....all in all we had a great time together..... :)

Bird Watching or Spying on the neighbors..... :)



We got some binoculars for Christmas and the kids love them.....so much fun......

2 down 2 to go....


I was hoping to get the quilts done for Christmas....I finished the girls but the boys I still need to work on......The kids had sooooo many baby blankets I didn't know what to do with them all....Madison wouldn't let me give them away....and when she found out that I was cutting them up she was not very happy with me....until I told her that I was going to make them into bigger quilts......I have never attempted machine quilting before and I'm having lots of fun making them.....

Stick Horses


The girls and I had so much fun making these stick horses......we laughed and laughed.....we think they are cute.....:) the girls like to ride them around the house......

We love horses...


Madison loves her horse she got for Christmas.....almost as good as the real thing.....

Mommys attempt at making a pinata.....lol


Makenna in her favorite gift....


Why we ask ourselves do we spend so much money on gifts when we know that the kids favorite thing to play with is boxes.....

Makenna loves to pose....


Makenna in her new dress......

boys shocked that they got a Wii....

About noon on Christmas day.....the boys found a small present that led them on a treasure hunt to more gifts.....a Wii and lots of games......needless to say we didn't see them anymore that day or since......

Snow.....

It snowed here on Christmas day.......first time since we have lived here.....it was very fun....

Merry Christmas....

The girls got up at 8:30, peeked downstairs and then went and woke up the boys at 9:00...

So excited to get new Christmas Eve pjs..... :)

They turned out pretty cute......our gingerbread village....

I have never done gingerbread houses before........this year I thought it would be fun to do them with the kids........

Madison and Makenna


Madison liked to rake up the leaves on the trampoline and then jump in them.

Makenna waiting for the everyone to be done driving the go-carts

Braxton is our conservative driver.....Next time we will need to tell him pretend you are playing need for speed....although, it is good to be safe...
