Lyza started PreSchool/Daycare last week at "In His Hands" and she is loving it. Below are a few of the Art Projects and stuff she has done! First few days were hard to get her up and going....but now that she is in the routine, she wakes me up to get me going :-)

She didn't exactly want her picture taken ;-)

Just Funny Pic's!

All about Caitlin..... ;-)

Caitlin and my Cousin Nicole! You don't see her dressed up often.....so soak it in while you can ;-) She's like Maddy.....grudge to glam within minutes!

I am always bragging so much on my kids that I figured it was about time to do a blog post of Caitlin. She is 15 and her favorite sport is basketball, however, she excels at almost any sport she tries. She is agressive and one heck of a hustler! I love watching her play! Her and Madisyn are a month apart in age......but Madisyn is a Sophomore and Caitlin is a Freshman......and they seem to get along really well for the short periods of time we have had them together! Enjoy the photos and I'll do a blog of Cody if he ever lets me take pic's of him! TEENS THESE DAYS! lol!

Homecoming Dance

Catching up.....this, that and the other!

Happy New Year!

For a year that started out for most of us not on a good note, or the in between of the year was nothing to brag about, it sure ended on a good note, especially me, surrounded by the ones I love most, family and friends!

Special Congrats to Frank and Deidre who got engaged on New Years Eve....thank you for letting Dunnie and I be such a special part of YOUR special night! (even if Frank did sleep with Brydon and Deidre with Lyza...lol!). Mom and Dad were in Florida, so Trish and I carried on moms tradition of the annual banging pots and pans......and we didn't even care that we were in Evansville with neighbors.....they seemed to join in pretty easily!!!

It was great to have Madisyn home...and even better that Caitlin came down and Taylor too so they could all hang out. We had Brydon, LaRissa, Asia and Lyza who hung out as well. Lots of Wii dancing, cards and a night full of laughter!!!

Trish, Madisyn, Caitlin, Taylor and I tried to go to the mall to have feathers put in our hair, only to find out the mall closed at 7 pm! We weren't happy,but luckily the townhouse is only 1/2 mile away!

I believe we all had a wonderful time in our own ways.....I know I did and ringing in the new year with all our kiddos (minus Cody) and us.....well, that was just about as much as I could have hoped for.

Sure hated to see Madisyn go....yes, as always I cried like a baby.....always have, probably always will. Simply cannot wait to go out there next week and see not only a basketball game, but her on the homecoming court! Either way, she will always be my gorgeous PRINCESS! Ok....enough bragging on all my kiddos. Pic's of Caitlins Basketball to come next!

Happy New Year to All!

~ Blessings to you during this New Year of 2012~
