Express Train

I just love taking the kids to do as many Christmas activities as we can. They have so much fun and I love to see the look on their faces. This train we went to had 4 cars decorated with train sets, santa, lights and many other things. The kids loved it!! Unfortunately we haven't done many this year but maybe we can make up for it in CA!
Boarding the Express Train that passed through Monroe. Very cute!!

Decorate the Tree With Love

We put our tree up very early this year, the day before Thanksgiving!! We figured since we were leaving for Cali on the 16th we would have to make it worth our while! It came out a little funny looking since we could only decorate from about half way up. The tree is only about 5 ft tall but Isabelle was impressed. She said,"That's the biggest tree I ever seen!"

Emarie is excited about the whole thing! That's her devious little look.Ho,Ho,Ho

Proud of her fairies ornament

A Little Update

Time just keeps on going by too fast and the kids keep growing too fast. I wish I had a recorder so I could remember all the sweet, funny conversations. Isabelle keeps me on my toes and always laughing. The other day she says,"ONC mommy, ONC...You forgot to read my book." Very confused I said,"huh??" She says,"O-N-C...you forgot to read my book!" I said,"Did you mean OMG??" She says,"Yeah, yeah, OMG!" So then the other night we are at Kohls and she walks by this outfit and says,"OMG mommy, this is sooooo cute!" Yesterday she's trying to get water out of the refridgerator but ice kept coming. Finally, she says,"mommy, can you change this to water because it is really frustrating me!" She is extremely prissy! All she wants to wear are dresses and she never wants her hair up because she says it's prettier when its down and long. lol She has been doing dance 5 weeks now and absolutely LOVES it!! I have to say, she's pretty darn cute! She loves to come to my school and go to the "pepper ally's" or pep rally's. She says she wants to go because she has to watch the cheerleaders so she can be one some day.
Easton is about 8 weeks into kindergarden and seems to be catching on. He's not thrilled about going everyday but seems to love it when he gets home. He is learning to read and loves to grab a book and "read" it all by himself. He's playing soccer and really seems to like it. He scored his first goal last week and was so proud. He's quite the team player though. we have one little boy who scores the majority of our goals and last week after Nate scored, Easton ran over and high fived him and said,"That's my boy!"
Emarie is still my sweet little Emarie! She'll walk til she realizes it's alot faster to crawl and off she goes on all 4's. She's trying to talk and mimics everything we say and do. She's officially off the bottle which makes me sad. But she's got her thumb and that is her best friend these days. that and her blankie...she's a snuggler.
Braden is doing great in the 3rd grade. He made1 B and the rest A's on his first report card. =) He's playing his first year of tackle football and loves it. He can't get enough and is now convinced he wants to be a professional football player when he grows up. He also loves to watch it on tv!

Happy 5th Birthday Easton

Easton had such a great time at his party with his brother, sisters, cousins and friends! I can't believe my baby boy is 5.
He couldn't decide what kind he wanted so I made him a special cake with a little Batman, Spiderman and Buzz & Woody!! Turned out so cute and I had a blast making it. =) Absolutely love that smile!!!
Make a wish..... A little slip-n-slide fun
