Wheels and Getting Air

Monday Jeanne wanted to check out our roller skating rink. They boys love to rollerblade and we used to go on Fridays when they have a special that is never crowded. I was a little nervous with it being school vacation but it wasn't that bad.

Before we left, we had lunch. I wanted to share this picture because people think I am creative and I wanted to show that it runs in the family. Auntie Chris was taking some credit too but I wasn't there for the conception. The pile by the way (left over from the footprints is dino poo).

Jenna wasn't quite sure about it at first.But she warmed up to the idea. The boys were rockin it out!

Joshua stopped to take a little break.

Jamie was getting into the groove but wasn't letting go of me. As long as she stayed off my toes we were good. :)

Tuesday we went to the Bounce U before they left. I figured it would surely tucker them out for the plane ride home. I later found out they didn't nap. Shocker.

I love the faces this girl makes.

Pooped out cousins hanging out watching some cartoons. It was probably the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. They rewound it about 8 times to watch the fart scene, their favorite.

Bye Bye

We're in a mini depression. We brought Auntie Jeanne and the girls to the airport today. My poor Jacob is heart broken. Usually I am the one in tears after they leave but this time I have company. He is so sad that his little playmates are gone. We will miss them terribly. It was a treat to have them here near Christmas. That has never happened. Of course when they left, I came right home and started to take down the tree ornaments. Thank you Jeanne for coming!!! I will post some pictures of the last two day's fun when the lump in my throat clears.

Visiting fun

A table for 11 dinner at home (thank goodness 2 were out), another night of sledding, McDonald's playplace, a trip to the local Walmart (they need to check them all out) and a night of craft painting sums up our last two days. Here are some of the highlights in pictures. The shutterfly site wasn't working yesterday so I could post more.

Snowball fight!!!!!

A booger flicker??? We are so bringing this to Auntie Jeanne's to try out.

This is another reason why the kids love when Auntie Jeanne comes, a trip to Walmart always yeilds some craft time fun.

Jamie's creation.And she facepaints.

We've Got Company

And they love the snow. Jenna and Jamie are here from Tennessee and we wasted no time getting them out into what little snow is left before the rain. They were lovin' it!

Jaimie says, "Who needs a sled?"

Christmas was quiet and enjoyable. We all cozied up inside, ate some yummy food and played a little Family Fued that Auntie got as a Christmas gift. Here are just a few pictures.
