This post is for Karen, the boys are loving their airplanes and we built them again lat night. We talk about where it is going to fly, right now it is mostly flying to Disney World! Someday soon they will go, how exciting! 
Camen had the big plane that flew to Disney
and Caden said his was a fighter jet!
Coming in for the landing......
Fixing pieces.
Thanks again!
WE ARE! Can't you tell, I don't know, maybe we don't have enough fireworks!!!! Lindsay Lakes doesn't set off fireworks anymore for the weddings so who better to give it to than two little 4 year olds who have been talking about fireworks non stop since 3 days ago?! They are like me when I was little, having a true love for fireworks. We did a few little ones last night and one big one, they kept saying just one more mom, just one more!
We have some people coming over tonight to ring in the new year, no biggie, just kids, fireworks some drinks and visiting! There are lots of things I want to "do better" in the new year. I don't make resolutions, I'd rather call them positive life changes! So to you and yours, HAPPY NEW YEARS, I hope and pray great things are in store for each and every one of you!
After the bout of the flu that got passed around the house we needed to get out and have some fun today! We went to Bouncin Bears of Texas, I love this jumpy place, it is the best one around. They have so many inflatables that no other places have, plus lots for the little ones to do. Cashlen is amazing and can climb like the big kids, at one point she told me to "stay right here and wait for her." Ok Cashlen, I will come back when I am done crying in the bathroom cause you don't need my help climbing to the top of the slide and finding your way through the maze! Haha, no I am just kidding, I was so proud that after 10 times she was confident that she could do it without me! Oh and they also have the awesome jumping pillow, that is my fave!
Big bro Cole didn't want to come but I made him and he ended up having fun, see it is possible to have fun when your 12 still!
Hey did I mention I hate my camera, oh yes, I have mentioned that and I will say it again!!!!! You are making my picture taking/documenting of my kids fun impossible when everything comes out like crap! Ok ok, so I cut her head off above, I admit it but the total blurred crap is not me, someone please tell me, will Best Buy take a camera back that I have used for a few months? Probably not =(
Boo on the slide.
Boo climbing to the top!
and laughing so hard on the jumping pillow. We are having her birthday party here in 2 1/2 weeks, ahhhhhhh, my baby girl is gonna be 2 on January 14th, I asked her tonight if I could have her stay like this forever and she said no.......
Look, way up there, it's my twin boys, they were running around so fast I never even got a picture of them!
I do love and miss the days that I took the kids to all kinds of fun places all the time, but with the new school schedules we don't get to do as much. We do still do a lot of fun stuff but just don't have as much time. I am looking forward to new years fireworks and then Cashlen's party, YAY!
Yesterday we set up Miss Cashlen's princess castle, she loves it, and I must say I adore the quality and the material. Her favorite things she got for Christmas are as follows: the little wooden tea set, she is just loving having little tea parties. Her little waldorf doll, the doll highchair and her "My first dollhouse" accessories. She likes the actual house too but really loves to play with the beds, the tiny stroller, the dad, mom, sister, grandma and baby in pretend play. This tent is big enough for a few to sit, it goes high up as well so you do not feel claustrophobic, which is a really good thing! Cashlen is also enjoying the kitchen food, she likes the food better than the kitchen right now, getting it ready for baby Canan.
Poor Caden, he was so excited to go to this Christmas, I had actually began to think he was on the upswing to getting well, then he took a horrible turn about an hour after being there. He didn't even show too much excitement about his gifts, but he was still polite and grateful and never whiny.
Cashlen insisted upon putting her own headband on, that is why it looks so funny. My pictures really turned out like crap, I almost didn't get any out of the bunch that I took cause they ALL came out blurry. Do I smell a new camera in my nearer future than I had anticipated? Does Best Buy take returns on a few months used camera that you decide you don't like?

And Caden got his big wheels, which he is doing well on! Thanks for hosting Joy and sorry to everyone, I wish we could have stayed and visited longer but I had to get little Caden Jace home!
Look at how beautiful Meme's tree was! She always has a non traditional whimsical tree, very pretty. We went over to Mema's house to have our Christmas with Meme and Mema, lots of kids, food and fun was had, it was a nice day.
Up close
Cashlen was terrified of the giant Santa that was outside, she kept saying, "Santa hurt you (me)" But she loved this little Santa inside because it had candy in his apron and she loves candy!

All the little boys got swords and shields too!
We gave Mema a new Tervis tumbler and a blanket, she loves those cups, we got her one last year too. They hold ice forever!
Dusten got a new apron with a spot for a beer.....
