What is up?

OK, I have been really bad about updating this thing.

Things have been sooo busy. The kids have been great. Ean got his yellow belt in TKD right before Chirstmas. Bella is moving up to pre-team for gymnastics, BUT, I think she is going ot be taking a bit of time off and trying something new this spring. She has said she wants to try TKD and Cheerleading. Paytyne is getting bigger by the day. She LOVES Dora. She has the clothes, toys, blankets, you name it. If anyone finds Dora clothes, PLEASE let me know. I can only find a few things. Eric is doing alright. He continues to have issues with his joints. We will be going to see a Remoligost (sorry if it isn't spelled right) on Friday. I am hoping to go with him to find what what is wrong with him. Me, I have been so busy I just don't know where to start. School is going well. I am almost half way done. It is VERY HARD!!! I am still involeved with the PTA at the kids' school also. My mommy group is doing well to. There are 5 of us and it is nice. 2 ladies are expecting babies this spring. I am hoping to get a small baby celebration together in March for them. Bear will be 1 yr old next mth. He is HUGE!!! Mine and Eric's 9th, YES 9th, anniversary is FEBUARY 18th!! Can you believe it? It has been loads of fun.

Bear

Our wonderful furry friend LOVES the water. He just can not get enough of it. He had such a blast.

Uncle Doug~~~~ You would have been proud. There was a bird of some sort, Eric will know, in the water and Bear keep retrieving it for Eric. He really didn't want him getting it, but he was born to retrieve birds. He had a ball.

Beach JAN. 16-18th

CAN YOU BELIEVE WE WERE IN BATHING SUITS????

Sledding (CA style)

We went to Shell Beach this weekend. IT WAS GREAT!!! Can you tell we are from the MidWest? My kids gotta find some way to sled. LOL

The weather was AWESOME!! It had to be in the high 70's if not low 80's. PERFECT weather.

What a GREAT LOOKIN' couple....

Daniel's Family

Here is a picture for my MOM!!! For everyone else, this is my brother Daniel, his wife Alicia and their two kids, Sophia and Ephriam.

They are staying with us for a bit. They just moved out to Cali right before Chirstmas to start their little family with as much possiblity as they can. There really isn't much up in Northern MI for them.

Family Fun

Uncle Dave and Aunt Debbie came down for a visit the weekend after Christmas. We went to a yummy restaurant and had dinner. It was a very nice visit.
