Shadow--The Dog--- March 2010

We finally did it. We got a dog. Its a male Austrailian Shepherd that is 1 year old (human years). Very sweet, and kind of obedient...we'll work on that I suppose.
The kids are thrilled! And hopefully they will use that enthusiasm to take VERY GOOD CARE of Shadow! :)

Audrey's #10 Birthday Party was FUN....and LOUD, LOUD LOUD! ;) Feb 2010

At our house, our kids get birthday parties with friends every other year. So hopefully after seeing the post of Austin's recent birthday you don't feel too bad for him, because he'll get a friend party next year.

Audrey had a great time at her party! But I seriously wondered if I would loose my hearing after it was all over. Little girls sure know how to squeel! But it was worth every minute for our sweet Audrey Girl. Its hard to believe she is 10, but she is growing into a very beautiful and sweet young lady and WE SURE LOVE HER!

GAME: KISS TROY ON THE LIPS
Audrey went first...we applied lipstick to each girls lips, blindfolded them, and turned them around to get them dizzy. Then they had to try to kiss Troy. Goodness gracious ALL 12 girls (yes, 12!)LOVED this game!

GAME: HOW MANY M&M'S CAN YOU HOLD IN YOUR MOUTH?
We passed around a bowl of m&m's. The girls had to pick 2 without looking. If they got 2 of the same color they could eat them. If they didn't they had to hold them in their mouth until the game was over. Pretty funny!

Each girl got to decorate their own heart-shaped cake and take it home with them at the end of the party....because we had an ice-cream birthday cake still to eat!

GAME: We played spin-the-bottle to decide whose present Audrey would open.

Teenager in the house!! Austin turns 13!! Feb 2010

Here is Austin eating steak, potatoes and veggies for his birthday dinner (his request). Notice the cast? He was playing tennis with his Dad and fell back on his wrist... which resulted in a hairline fracture. First broken bone in the family!....and hopefully the last! :)

#13 birthday austin

We think Austin is pretty cute. He is such a good brother too. And I might add that he's a smartie pants too! He just won the 7th grade science fair...not too shabby! LOVE you Austin!!
