And there you have it....the last five months of our life condensed into this post and the previous one too. Feels good to be caught up.

Catching up( a little) Still need to catch up some more. :)

 Apparently I haven't blogged in months so here we go.....

This first pic is of Lyndie telling Santa what she wanted for Christmas. He came and visited her kindergarten class this year and it was a lot of fun.

 Now we skip ahead to Logan's 8th birthday party. We went swimming at the rec center with some of his friends and it was a lot of fun.

 There will be pics soon of his baptism too.....ya I am totally behind.

 Next we have Lyndie in a production of Rapunzel. She is a chameleon and a fairy. 

 She had the funnest time being on stage in front of everyone. She kept doing her own thing and it just made us all laugh hysterically. She even tried to steal Rapunzel's solo when she was singing. 

This is Lyndie finding her mark on the stage.

Christmas and New Years

We spent New Year's Eve at our friends house playing games and eating yummy food. Lots of fun! Jeremy stayed home with Mallory and Sawyer. They both had strep and I did too but didn't know it yet.

Lyndie and Abby after the Christmas program at school.
Lyndie with most of the "Sunset Hills gang" She is lucky to have so many friends to play with.

Logan during his Christmas program at school. For some reason they put him front and center which is good for me as a mom, but he is almost the tallest kid in 2nd grade so I'm not sure the other moms appreciated it.
Santa came to Lyndie's class to see the kids and ask them what they wanted for Christmas.
Christmas Eve at Grandma English's house

Christmas morning.


Mallory went to the dollar store and bought everybody presents. Jeremy got some new shaving cream. :)
We adopted an Elf on the Shelf this year to keep an eye on the kids. They had a lot of fun each morning trying to figure out where "Edward" would be hiding.
