The Twins + Four

We watched my sister in law Brittany's 4 month old twins and her 3 year old and 1 year old sons on Saturday, in addition to my 7 year old and 3 year old daughters. So we had 6 kids all day long. I had to mentally prepare myself for a week. I was bracing for the worst. And I was pleasantly surprised. It was much easier than I thought it was going to be. Minus the fact that Tate kicked Laney in the head and Ashton jumped on Avi's tummy, things went great. The twins were so sweet and slept most of the time and when they were awake they would just lay there and hardly make a peep. It was kinda hard because one would be asleep and the other one would wake up and be hungry. I don't know how Brittany does it. 4 kids under the age of 3. She must take some really good pills or just has a lot of patience, I think its the latter.






I think this picture is so funny. Avi made little pieces of paper that said this is Ali, this is Ava and layed them by them so we wouldn't get confused.

Old Pictures

I got a new printer/copier/scanner at the after Thanksgiving sale and I have been going through a bunch of my old pictures from when I was a little girl. I came across this picture of me in the tub when I was about 2 and I cant believe how much Laney looks like me. I showed Laney this picture and she thought is was her.




I also came across this picture of me and my Grandpa at the Grand Canyon when I was about 3. This is one of my favorite pictures.

Christmas Decorations

This year we decided to get a real tree. There is nothing better than walking into the house and smelling a fresh pine tree. It was so big we had to cut some off the top. I'm sure it will be dead before Christmas since we got it so early, but the kids were so excited to put it up. Once we got it all decorated Laney said its Christmas now!! She hasn't quite grasped the concept of Christmas yet.

World Fair

Avi's school had a World's Fair Program. They were assigned a country which was Guatemala and then they had to pick something from the country to write a report on. Avi chose holidays. So if anyone has any questions on any holiday in Guatemala ask Avi she knows them all. Each grade had to do a performance and her class did a dance to Boot Scootin Boogie. She did a great job up there on stage. And she did a great job on her report. Were so proud of her!!

Bowling League

Me and Ryan joined a bowling league that meets every Wednesday night. I have been wanting to join a league for a while and then the opportunity game up to be in a league with a bunch of our friends and we couldn't pass it up. Its so fun!! I have to brag a little bit. I am the best bowler on my team. I scored a 170 last Wednesday. That's the best game I have ever bowled. As of last week we were number one in the league!! I think maybe I am going to quit my job and join the pro bowling tour. Ha Ha.

Letter from the President

Avi wrote a letter to the President and has been asking everyday if she has gotten a letter back. Finally she received his letter back in the mail. She was so excited. It was funny because there was a picture of him with the letter and Avi said who's that? I guess she has never seen what he looks like.
