Video from footy

I will spare you all of the video porter took of me... here is theo who kept saying cheese becuase he thought i was taking pictures. Theo and Porter have watched it 10 times in a row laughing everytime becuase they think its hilarious that he is saying cheese.

Family Night activities

So for the family activity one night Porter wanted to play Uno. Its his favorite game ( well favorite NON video game) The problem is Theo and Arthur are too young to want to play, or know how to play properly.

We kept trying to get them off the table and away from the game but they seemed to think the point of the game was for them to mess up our cards...

So i got out the camera to capture all the fun..

Porter wanted to play with the camera ( he loves to take pictures and then look at them right after)
So we did a family shot and everyone stuck out their tongue.. porter laughed for a few minutes and thought this was the funniest thing ever!

Us all being happy!

Cory and the monkeys!


Theo, porter took this one!

I told everyone to make a silly face. After this all porter wanted to do was make silly faces!

Theo and Porter both collapsed in fits of giggles at this silly new game! They loved looking at the photos we created.

This one is my favorite one because it looks like Porter is scaring Cory.

Porter scaring Cory again.. he thought the other one was so hilarious he wanted to do it again.

We had so much fun taking silly pictures and laughing at ourselves! I suggest you all try this for a fun family activity! Its free, and its really fun! and if you are a child watching your parents its darn right hysterical!

Cory is mortified i am posting these so if you see him be sure to mention them! hehehe

Christmas photo overload ( just for you mom i know you will love it!)

Theo, the shy timid kid in the family. The ONLY one that was not scared to sit on Santa's lap. He even talked with him a bit. Porter and Arthur wouldn't even get near him!

Porter took this picture. He loves to use the camera.

Cory is the funnest dad ever! The boys all enjoy playing with him!

Porter was taking this picture that is why he is not in it, Love Theo's rosy chubby cheeks!

Building gingerbread houses for family night the week of Christmas. We all enjoyed the candy! Theo wanting to taste it!

Arthur enjoyed eating his house..

Porter and Neal's house

Camilla's house

Cory and Theo's house

our Christmas stash!

Little baby is so big! He was not sure what all the fuss was about.
But he loves to pose for pictures. He says "cheese!" if he sees the camera. Its adorable!

Theo was just a tad bit excited for Christmas morning, can you tell?

Porter was sick, this was before all the Tylenol and cold medicine kicked in and made him happy and hyper!
he has a fever here of 102.5

Theo got a marble runner toy. All three boys love playing with it!

My brother Neal was excited about his new snowboarding video game! We loved having him here for Christmas.

Cory was excited for his new super mario brothers game for the wii... its multiplayer so we all can join in the fun! Porter loves it.

and Porter was excited about his new video game super mario galaxy, also for the wii.
There was a lot of video gaming the week after Christmas!

Porter and Theo having a light saber duel. I love Theo's expression in this one!

Cute baby just wanted to sit in the box! love it!

Porter likes to play with Arthur's new blocks more than he does! This is porters new fake smile. I hate it! i don't know why but he says he doesn't want to smile with his teeth anymore.

Darth Vader potato head... the things they come up with! so fun.

My sister Thora sent the boys these awesome star wars mini action figures. They love em!

Theo absolutely loves scooby doo. we also got him some scooby doo underwear to hopefully get him fully potty trained.

This year we let the kids decorate the christmas tree. In years past i have at least done the top half in my pretty glass ornaments. Every thing on the tree this year was kid proof, and most of them porter made. It was for sure not the prettiest tree, but porter was so proud of it and his decorating.

Our new stocking holders, now that we have a fireplace i couldn't resist getting some!

The reason for the season.

Porter decided this wall should be used for all his christmas time coloring pictures. He was so excited to hang them up. Theo did some too.. I am sure you can tell which ones!

I really love garlands. I enjoyed decorating them, and it made up for my lack of tree decorating!
