Wedding Reception

We had a party at our house for my dad and his new wife Debbie today.  We had a pretty good turnout good thing we have a big house.  The kids had a blast playing with cousins that they don't see very often.  Irelyn was so tired by the end she refused to take a nap once everyone got there she was afraid she might miss something.  She had fun sharing her toys with Allie and Cade.  After everyone left we went out to BDs Mongolian Barbecue for dinner.  They were packed I have never seen it so busy there, but I guess we usually go there for lunch on a weekday.  Here are some pictures from the day.  The last two are what the kids did to the balloons after the party.

Oklahoma G2K

Taylor got one of the lead roles in this years drama club production of Oklahoma.  He is Tom a cowboy.  I always knew he was a drama king.

It's all about the kids!!

Irelyn's new thing is to give great big hugs when ever we pick her up.  I love it, it makes me smile everytime she does it now matter how bad of a day I am having.  Also whenever one of us comes in the garage door she drops whatever she is doing and runs to see who it is and holds up her arms so she can give a big hug.

Allyssa has her first choir performance coming up.  They are doing Michael Jackson music (surprise surprise).  She has been staying after school learning a dance to Thriller she is so excited for the show she doesn't stop talking about it and she made us download Thriller from itunes so she can practice at home.

Taylor tried out for a part in the drama clubs production of Oklahoma he is really excited.  Also since he didn't get his posters done for student council he has decided to join the yearbook club.

Jacelyn is playing soccer and loving it.  She scored her very first goal ever a couple of games ago.  As soon as it went in she looked for us on the sidelines and smiled and gave us a thumbs up.

That is all for now Irelyn has had enough of playing alone and wants some attention.

Are you ready for some football?

Irelyn and daddy are getting ready to watch the Colts play.  He went out to the garage and got the football and now he is trying to get her to say touchdown and raise her arms up she just thinks it is funny.  She had done it before but tonight she just thinks daddy is being silly.  Here are some pics of the girls in their jerseys and daddy and Irelyn tonight.

Were we robbed?

Russell and I moved everything out of the family room after the kids went to bed last night so I can clean the carpet today.  I came downstairs after Allyssa was already down here this morning and she said she was scared she didn't know where everything was.  Then Taylor got up and looked over the railing and asked if we had been robbed.  Jacelyn said that we should make it an ice skating rink because it is so big and empty.  Irelyn just wondered where all of her toys were.

1 year pictures

Here are Irelyn's 1 year pictures.  She wasn't in the best of moods for pictures, but we were able to get enough taken to make it difficult to choose which ones to buy.  Luckly I had a 50% off coupon.

I'm done mommy!

Early Morning Fun

Irelyn woke up this morning just talking and playing so I waited till I had the coffee going before going to get her. By the time I got up there Jacelyn had climbed in the crib with her and both girls were laying down snuggling. I wish I could have gotten a picture but Irelyn wouldn't let me leave the room without her to get the camera. We are finally getting Irelyn's 1 year pictures taken today. The way I see it I was a month late getting her 9 month pictures taken too so I am right on time. Time to get off the computer and get the kids off to school.
