We got snow. I went and pulled Parker and Kasidee out of school so they could enjoy it. We knew it wouldn't last long. They had a lot of fun playing in the slush. They had to come in and change 3 or 4 times because the snow was so wet...but no one complained, we had SNOW!
They came in with rosy cheeks, pink noses, and begging for hot chocolate...it doesn't get much better than that!
Boys and their toys...
Even Addison and Bailey wanted to help. Who can resist a little demo?!?!
Mark slaved away ALL day Saturday to make it livable before the baby comes. He even has a bum shoulder, but thanks to lots of ibuprofen, he was able to finish. Dust was everywhere!!! I have cleaned the house from top to bottom and I am still finding it.
We had so much good food for Thanksgiving. Lucky for you, I forgot my camera, so you get this google image. We all ate at Greg and Angie's house. They hosted a very nice dinner, with lots of yummy food, and good company. Thanks, we had a great time.
Girls' nights are the best. Especially when a little New Moon is involved.
We braved the crowds again and went on opening night with all of the screaming teens. This pic was at dinner right before. It was a fun night!
And I would have to add, that I liked New Moon better than Twilight. I can't wait for Eclipse in June!
This is how I feel today. Have you ever woke up every hour on the hour...for example, last night I woke up at 12:30, 1:35, 2:30, 3:24, and then 4:40 I was up for good. Why is that? It is so annoying!
Addison took ballet/creative dance lessons from her Aunt Angie. The girls were so cute. Addison was a little stubborn and shy, but she had a good time.
The flash went off and I was standing in front of a glass window, but I still thought this picture was cute.
This is all the girls at the recital in their hip-hop gear. It doesn't get much cuter than this!
This is Addison's younger group. Addison is in the black hat and her little cousin is on her right.
This was all the girls in their ballet clothes being introduced. That is Bailey's hair at the bottom of the picture. Mark was out of town, so I was trying to fight kids and video and take pictures at the same time. GOOD TIMES!!!
This is our cute girl. She loved that black hip-hop hat. So much fun!
This is how much she would do in practice....
This is all she would do at the recital...
It is a good thing she is so cute! I think she gets her stubbornness from Mark, and her shyness from me. (:
I was wanting some cute new things for this new baby girl. I looked on etsy and found the cutest stuff, but I wasn't willing to pay for it. So I looked up some free patterns on line...I thought they turned out pretty cute.
Addison's cute preschool (Little Feet Preschool), had a Halloween party. We had princesses, a witch, spider man, Sonic, and Indiana Jones come. They had such a fun time decorating cookies, doing a cake walk, and lots of other games and activities. (Thanks Brooke for such a great time!)
Minnie Mouse had to come and play too! I got the chance to go to the SYTYCD live tour again this year. I really liked this past season's group of dancers, so I was super excited to go! Angie scored us some great seats, and then we were able to move even closer during the second half of the show. Life doesn't get much better than this!
This was how good our seats were. (Thanks Angie for the pic, your camera was much better than mine.) They danced most of my favorite dances, including the Addiction dance. It was awesome. 
Randi...
Meeting everyone after was so much fun (thanks Janice). I felt really old and very large (all those tiny little dancers...even the guys!)
Jason...
Evan...
Kayla...
It took Parker a little while to warm up, but once he did, he had a blast!
The high school here had a "meet the football team" day. Mark took Parker and he kicked, tackled, spiraled, and ran touch downs. What more could a 6 year old boy ask for?!?!
Our day started at 2:30am, with Addison coughing and coughing and coughing. She was having a hard time breathing too. I took her into the ER and she has croup. This is our first experience with it. It is definitely a little scary.
We got home at about 5:30am and she started coughing all over again once we got home. I dragged a rocking chair in the bathroom and turned on the hot shower and we roasted in the hot steam for about an hour, which seemed to help.
Then at 6:30am everyone else woke up for the day. Parker, Kasidee, and Bailey have been coughing a little bit, so P and K stayed home from school today.
I have been washing EVERYTHING and lysoling EVERYTHING else to try to keep this croup from spreading to everyone in the family.
Kasidee had an accident, and I just got off the phone with a 911 operator who just received 2 calls from this number. (Parker just learned about 911-awesome), and it isn't even noon yet. This day is shaping up to be one to remember!
Mark gave me Jason Mraz tickets for my birthday in July, and the concert finally arrived!!! It was amazing, I had so much fun!!! It is not very often that an artist is better live than they are on the radio. Jason didn't disappoint...it was awesome! Thanks Mark, that was the best birthday present ever. (We went with Lelani, Mark's boss Jen, Greg and Angie, Dave and Jana, and Jared and his brother.)
