Birthday Boy

From one mess of opening presents, to the next. Here is our birthday boy.
He loves teasing me that he is now a teenager. He wanted a three flavored neopolitan cake. It took a while to make, but here it is. It is really tall. (and he wanted me to add he is growing taller too, 5'1")

Happy Birthday Derek! We sure love our little Christmas boy (elf).

Christmas 2010

Making gingerbread houses.

Her's kind of collapsed.

Kade's was all frosting.

Derek's was a masterpiece with a tree and everything.

This was before Santa came. It was nice to just sit with the tree lights and watch the train and enjoy.

This was one house on our drive to look at lights.

New pajamas on Christmas Eve.

The big day!

With all that stuff, and this is where we find them...playing video games (ok, so it was a new one)

Samantha was putting on new makeup.

Thanksgiving and other stuff

Thanksgiving was a great success! We now have all our Christmas stuff up and counting down.

I didn't take pictures of Nicholas' and Derek's fingers. Nicholas broke his first and there was a possibility of surgery. But, thank goodness no. Then Derek broke his and we just babied it. They are out playing ball again every night, so they must be ok.

Halloween 2010

Guess Who! We were trying to be original.
Our ward did trunk or treat on Saturday and then we didn't turn on our front lights Sunday, so no one came to the door.

She's suppose to be Hannah Montana, but not the best wig.

This is just to show that I don't feed our kids at all. Poor Nicholas has to take everybody else's plate and lick them clean.

And yes, Kade did it AGAIN! We treated his sunburn right off, so it came close to blistering but peeled a lot. Hopefully three times in one summer will teach him a lesson.

School Sports

Ok, so you can't tell who they are, but these are some good pictures of Nicholas swimming.

And Derek playing soccer

There he is, #14

They keep us busy

Birthday Boy

He's pretty happy with his birthday. He loves guns (as he has gotten some kind of gun every year) This year was the air soft gun and, yes, another Nerf gun!
Like we don't have enough of these already.

And a cookie cake.

It looks like only 2 candles, but they are side by side for 11, and they sing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KADE
