warning post overload!!! mAKE SURE YOU SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM!

Dancing Star!!

Jenna got to go to a dance team camp, and they performed at the Ephrata High School Boys Varsity Basketball game. Forive the horrible bouncy video It started so fast and people kept getting in the way. Plus they had them face the student body, and not the parents. The little girl in the green hula skirt is Jenna's friend Maggie, they were so excited to perform. Sorry Anna this is the best I got.

christmas catch up

Considering it is now a month past christmas i figured i should update my blog. I have several pics, but not tons. I forgot my camera a couple times, and a couple times it just didn't want to work. We spent christmas eve with Aaron's family, and Christmas day with my family. Sadly I didn't get any pics of my family, (my camera decided it didn't want to work.) So, I'm hinting to my sisters to please forward me some pics please! Come on you know you want to!

Christmas Morning!!

Christmas morning! WE have a tradition of christmas PJ's on Christmas eve, I didn't get any pics so here they are on the morning of.
Jenna loves ballet and she was very excited that Santa brought her a ballerina barbie!
Anyone who knows Payton knows that this gift could mean trouble, and you would be right. He has become quite the little swords man, those swords hurt!


I just can't get enough of their smiling faces!


Christmas was magical this year, and by no effort of my own. I felt horrible through it. I threw up most of the time christmas eve when I was trying to wrap presents. I just could not get myself into a festive mood. We had our great friends who live by us secret santa us, and I don't think they realize the difference they made. They brought the excitement into our home, when I couldn't muster the energy to do it. They brought a surprise every night, and the kids were so excited for trying to guess, and catch who it was. We were truly blessed this year, and I am thankful beyond words.








Better late than never!! Christmas 09 fun!!

We went to a christmas party with friends, and Payton got a little kid shaving kit!! It was quite the hit. He had Aaron teach him how to shave, and then about every couple minutes he would feel his face and say, " Hmm I think I need to shave." Jenna got in on the action too.

On christmas eve, we went to Aaron's aunt Nancy's house For their family christmas exchange. All of the cousins were there except Aaron's brother Jeromy and his family, and they were very much missed. Here are all the little boy's (except Carter).


Here's Jenna and Kaeli anxiously awaiting the presents! Beth and Grace weren't to sure about all the commotion.


My sweet Jenna the poser. Christmas really is magical when your little!







Wedding bells, well maybe in 20 years

Aaron's younger sister is getting married, and early in December we had a girls day, and we went to help aunt emmy pick out a wedding dress. We also went and saw the Lion King! Here is Jenna and her cousin Beth pretending that they were the bride!
I was skeptical about how the girls would do having to sit still while emmy tried on dresses, but they both did very well. They loved it, but they both wanted to try stuff on too. After the wedding dress fun it was off to the play. Jenna sat through it glued to the action. We will def. be taking more girls days to the plays!
