December - Family Photo

Here's the winner, it probably looks familiar...

The whole white Christmas idea was a bomb...

Thomas was positive "Cheese" meant squeeze your eyes shut tight...
We had to pause and have a little chat...

Husband and sons...joy of my life.

Here's our Disney photo...

I just love John's smile!

Mid-December - Ping Pong!

Calvin gave himself a ping-pong table for Christmas,

and had Dwight over to put it together...

What would we do without Dwight :)!

Thomas thought he could help with his play drill.

John is getting impatient. Calvin was driven to drink...

Proud ping-pong daddy!

A historic photo - the very first ping pong game in our home...

Okay, our garage...Now all we need is Vic, wild hilarious

giggling, and grown men whapping balls at bare backs,

and we're back ten years. Come visit, Vic!

The boys finally got their chance!

December - I Love My Boys!

I love this pic of John - he can be so dreamy...

Calvin has a lot of meetings. Here is Thomas, really mad,
trying to block him from leaving for a school board meeting.

These stockings are well loved now...

December - Lighted Christmas Parade

After selling banket we met Leshia at the lighted

Christmas parade. I usually miss it by going to Seattle

with C for a garbage meeting, but I decided the boys were

the perfect age for me to take them for once.

Thomas silently loved it. John and I froze.

I took this one for Brad.

This one won this year! It looked so cool coming down the street!

This is my favorite entry every year.

Here's Dwight coming down the street!

Cute hat, Dwiggy! He stopped and posed the truck for me...

Cameron in her element. Courtney in hiding...

From the rear. We looked pretty cute!

December - Banket Pics

Banket Paste Day 2 - it went even faster with 5 instead of 2!

Rachel and her mixer right before it died.

I promise this will be the last banket post :). Here we are

hard at work in the kitchen we rented. It was such a great time

of fun and fellowship - I am truly blessed to know and

have these women as my friends!

Cousin Judy!

Seriously, how could you not have fun with these two!

The assembly line method worked the best!

December - Dinosaurs Take Over The World

I think this pic is hilarious because Nikki is so into her broom...

Courtney has loved dinosaurs for a very long time. These are hers.
Now Thomas is addicted thanks to "Dinosaur Train." What is hilarious
is that when Courtney lines them up, he says their names.
Three year olds should not say big words like that.


I think Thomas wants some dinosaurs of his own!

December - Banket Sale Begins!

Here's John selling banket at the Green Barn, where we buy most of our fresh produce. He really liked taking people's money and figuring out the change!
