It's Only Mid April and I'm Posting Pictures?!

Wow!  I must be amazing... I'm posting a few pictures from Micah's B-Day, Easter and the boys' scout banquet..... I know.... you love me.

Micah and his birthday cookies!

The Girls at Easter

The Boys at Easter

The Crazy Parents at Easter (He got new glasses! We're twinsies!)

I know... .it doesn't seem fair that he gets more pictures, but he's so cute!

Jonah made that green cake... it's a Hobbit House

Jonah earned his Wolf

Benjamin earned his Religious Knot, his Arrow of Light (HUGE AWARD), his compass and compass points... he's been in Boy Scouts for a while... just hadn't gotten his old awards. 

Maybe I sent these quickly because my camera is broken and Brian took all these on his phone and emailed them to me.... it's a lot easier when it's already on here. 

Miss you all!

Lots to Catch Up On!

Since I'm oh, 4 months behind, I guess I'll just post the pictures......

We went to GA for Christmas and had a blast!  Loved seeing and meeting new cousins!

January was COLD.... well so was February and March... but January... ugh.  Jonah and Brian went on their trip to Universal Studios.... we were all so jealous, but were happy they had such a fun time! 

We were in the Medieval Times commercial shoot.  My mom joined us and we had a great time.... missin family! 

Jonah turned 9!  We went to the Lego Movie and CiCi's to celebrate!

Mia turned 4 this past week. It was so nice to have a laid back party.  We went to Target to spend gift cards (THANKS Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Brandi and MeMe!), went out to eat and played at the park. My camera somehow is miraculously working so I was able to take pictures again! Yippee!

Also this month we had a leaky roof, a broken water heater, and a leaky water softener.... which is why there is a huge hole in my laundry room.   Other than that, we are enjoying the spring weather and can't wait to get our jungle mowed (waiting for it to dry up). 

Oh, and Jonah had Pinewood Derby... I'll have to have Brian email me those pictures so I can get them up!

Here's a video of our walker...

and our music video makers....

Where did November go?

So apparently I did not take many pictures this month.  I have one and then Thanksgiving. Hmmm... wonder what we did?  I truly am blessed and so thankful for my family.

 

 

 

Jonah had a pack meeting and we got to tour a fire truck!

 

For Thanksgiving we all were in charge of something. Jonah had the cherry cheesecake!

Brian was the waiter for our toast!

 



Mia had Cherry Pie.



 

Mollie had rolls, Amie had sweet potatoes, Benjamin made the chocolate trifle.

 

Micah loved eating the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

 

Cute girls!

 

 

Selfie.

 

We went black Friday shopping on Thursday night and were out until 11pm. Poor baby.. .so tired. I should have stayed home... he's sick now.

 

The girls had fun! 

Lots of Treats... only a few Tricks!

We love Halloween in our family.  This year, I didn't stress too much over costumes thanks to my mom (the hats were perfect) and to the handy dandy internet.  I got a steal on the boys costumes.  How I was going to accomplish Jonah's.... glad I found it.

 

Amie was Edith from Despicable Me

Jonah was a minion from Despicable me

 

Edith and Minion

Amie made Brian be Gru.  Thought he was pretty cute.

 

Mia Mouse

Cad Bane (from Star Wars Clone Wars)

 

Ninja Benjamin

Tough  Gorgeous Girl Army Mollie

 

I was supposed to be the Box of Shame from Despicable Me... but I forgot to find a box. 

 

 

 

Russell Ramblings - September 2013

 

 

September flew by.  We started it out with Benjamin's celebration and have ended it with a nasty virus.  But... we did lots of fun stuff in between!

 

Jonah Loving Micah

Amie and Mia started their preschool group.

Micah is EXTREMELY mobile.

 

We visited my Grandma and Robert  (Amie playing a princess party with her).

We went to Dallas to visit with my mom and dad and visited the George Bush Presidential Library

Pieces of 911

Benjamin in the Oval Office

Trying to get Micah to smile.

Super sad to leave them.

 

Once I download the pictures of all of us, I'll get those up too!
