Christmas Eve Picture 2012

Our Annual Christmas Eve Picture. I can't believe how big my babies are getting!!

Last year it was hard to say goodbye to Clyde. This year was no different. Santa left a note for the kids, assuring them that Clyde was safe with him and his other Elf Friends, but we still miss him. So bittersweet. Colin sat down next to him and said his sweet goodbyes. Of course he was all to careful to not touch him, he of course would still lose his magic and not be able to join us again next year.

Have a wonderful year at the North Pole Clyde! We look forward to having you back Next Thanksgiving, when the kids will be 16, 8 and 6 (Holy Moly!!!)

Clyde Night 31

Tonight was Clyde's last full night with us. It was quite Bittersweet. He delivered the kids their annual Christmas Eve Pajamas. Courtney's were too small :( Guess next year, He needs to take better notes of the kids size's. Darn teenagers!

Clyde Night 30

Clyde was stuck to the Front door..... with BANDAIDS!!! Oh My goodness! (But thank you for bringing us a box Clyde, we were out and have used them numerous times since then!)

Clyde Night 29

Tonight, Clyde thought it would be fun to do some balloon diving, into the sink :) He has some GREAT form, just look at those arms!

Clyde Night 28

Clyde liked that birds eye view SO very much, that he thought he would take a balloon ride over it!! How fun was this clyde?? I am sure it was TONS of fun!

Clyde Night 27

Clyde was looking for a new view of the house tonight, and perched himself up in the wreath on the living room wall. He was pretty comfy up there actually!

More Long lost things

Colin's 5th Birthday!! Where does the time go?? I love pinterest.

How cool is this Balloon banner??? Lets not talk about how much work it was though.

Colin of course requested a cookie cake! We had to have 2 though, for the pickier family members.

Beautiful Colin

I made the sign under the balloons too.

He is beyond photogenic.

Colin's first person! I was BLOWN away by the detail in this!

We got a new kitty after Momma passed away from Cancer. This is Seamus

This is actually LAST years Indoor track team.

Camping with Girl scouts over the summer.

Hannah , Liz, Courtney and Amanda

My dad got us season passes to darien lake this summer,r which was awesome. It was great to just get up and go and only spend 2 hours there. The first day we went? Courtney wore 2 different shoes!

Best day ever. I'll have this picture my entire life

Various Pictures over the months

I figured if I can't keep up with the journal part of blogging, at least I can pull some pictures off the computer at work and have SOME of the memories. They are ALL out of order, but at least they're here. I'll add more as I find them as well. Good thing I am taking them from my work computer, if I was home, there'd be thousands to upload, I'd be overwhelmed, and it would NEVER get done. So here we go.

This obviously Christmas this year. Visiting Santa & Mrs Claus at Wegmans. Best Santa ever. He was amazing with the boys.

Her is Courtney's Cross Country team photo from September. She joined them and was able to get her Varsity letter D! So proud of her :)

This is from Spirit week. Day 1 was America day. Red/white and Blue. She actually made that scarf from an old T-shirt. I was proud of her. Then she has on her Depew Jacket from tennis 2 years ago.

This is Courtney's homecoming hair. BEAUTIFUL isn't it?? Everyone thought she had extensions. Nope, this is natural amazingly thick hair. So pretty. My friend Tracy did this for us. She's so darn talented.

Mike and I on Halloween, We went to our first ever dress up party. Ton of Fun. I created a flapper costume and Mike was Mobster.

Here we are , full pose. I wish you could see my tights, they were fishnet and so cute and comfortable actually! I think because there were cotton, instead of nylon

Yes, Mya really was sleeping with Colin like this. Talk about spoiled right? She didn't even flinch when I took the picture. upside down, legs up, head on the pillow. She could have been drooling too.

Caden's new thing is Mya sitting on him. Too funny. I love this kids eyes. they are amazing.

The plus side of having special needs kiddos? They get to be in the same class, even though they are 5 & 7 and in Kindergarten and 2nd grade! SO,, I get to be able to be on one field trip for both of them!! Yay. We went to Kelkenburg Farm in Akron in October. It was funny, we even ran into a group from Gateway, Caden & Col's old teachers!! they were so happy to see the boys. They hadn't had Caden in 3 year, and his first Ever teacher Mrs Liz was there, so that was really neat.

We went on a horse/wagon ride to the patch and got to pick our own pumpkins off the vine.

Homecoming 2012 - doesn't she look gorgeous?? Have to add, she bought that dress in July, on clearance for $20 with her own money!!

Back to Spirit week. Class color day. C/O 2015 is orange. She did 2015 nails and wore the class shirt.

This one here is the First day of school.

This is spirit week - Princess day. That's my tiara from my wedding.

Homecoming - This is Tyler, Courtney's first boyfriend :) He was a nice kid, but they only "dated" for 2 weeks. they never talked/texted or hung out. Went to the movies once and didn't talk the entire time. She broke up with him. He won't even look at her now. Poor kid.

Halloween. I made the chicken & Carrot costume. Courtney was a bumble bee again.

This is from August probably. We went out with our neighbors to spend some time at their land. Corey took them all on a 4 wheeler ride. I couldn't believe how much Colin loved it!! Courtney was able to even spend the night there. Fun times

OH - Guess what this is? The pond behind the house!! Yep, no rain for a couple summers = no pond and grass grows! It was so weird. It was still soft in some sports. Caden actually fell IN and got stuck the week before this. It was kinda funny.

The Carrot costume

The Chicken costume. I think this is my all time favorite

Christmas 2012 - Love. Just took this 5 days ago.

My amazing dad turned 60 July 21st this year. Cheryl decided to throw him a surprise Party. It was HARD work, but so worth it. He was quite surprised. Love

In order to conserve water this summer, we invested in a rain barrel. It's awesome! We were able to water all of our plants with the water from it all summer.
