Zumbathon and Kaya's Birthday Party

We were fashionably late due to a Zumbathon!

and an eatathon!

What a place to go after 1.5 hours of Zumba... The training table.

Anyways we made it to Kaya's house just in time for all the fun. Sense the fun was coming with me that was easy. hahaaa Just kidding. I made my famous Mac n Cheese. I made it with rice milk and wheat flour. (What I had) It turned out! Apparently it was not good enough for Kevin so he had to add a little something....


As you can see by the shocked faces around him and the shame he had by covering it up it will never happen again. Thank goodness we were at Steffi's house so it was Organic Ketchup!
Cally was very excited to see us!

I wonder if she will ever make that face again around my camera and I.

It was great to see our friends the Elgans!
Anthony was very overjoyed to see me!
Believe it or not he has cute offspring!
We were just in time for the finishing touches on the cake.

Finn and his friend helped with the whipped topping...

Michael helped Steffi decorate...

Ollin helped eat it...

No one was more excited then Kaya!

All the kiddos!

Not only the cake looked cool. It tasted magnificent! It did make everyone crazy!


Borgit was reunited with her one true love!

Once again we had another fabulous evening with the Ricketts!

Sledding!

I think I had been dreading the thought of sledding all year long. I feel like every time we go sledding I freeze my arse off, the girls come home crying and can't feel their feet! Well this time we were smart. We kept them warm by making them do all the work. Dad and I stayed at the top of the hill with tea and had the girls went up and down and up and down.....

Papa got the girls a plastic snowboard and they loved trying it out. Cameron made it down the hill and was so excited. Emery was mad that she couldn't make it down. She was a really good sport about it.





It ended up being a perfect day. The weather was beautiful! We had no crying children at the end of the day!

NEW YEARS DAY 2011

What a great start to a new year! Friends, family and pets. We had our 'Keo' Christmas party on New Years Day because the Keo's decided to go south for the break! We are glad they went! They brought back a Yolanda! :) Cameron and Emery we able to see Ava! It had been way to long! We ate, opened presents napped.... Well, Leila Napped Kevin napped. When Lexy decided he was finished sleeping she crawled in bed with him and he surprised her... I think she liked it. Then Tola was jealous so he gave me kisses through my camera! We took some family pictures! Sochann with his love Luna and Christy with her baby Hamilton! Christy tried to give Papa some Chicken Protein. But he woke up! You know there is Chicken in everything, even pumpkin rolls! After we ate and napped and opened presents and ate more then napped a little more it was time for Ame and Kai to make dessert!
> This was an amazing evening. It ended with Emery doing Zumba! She loved it! Nonstop like a 40 minute workout. It was so funny! If you ever want to watch my kids make sure you have Wii Fit. (Zumba) It will keep her occupied for hours. I would love to see how long she would go.


When we got home Nina was waiting for us patiently! It was very cold so we put her coat on and Kevin took her for a walk.

Blog More... Facebook less!

Happy 2011!!!
I am going to try this blog thing out again. Shall we make bets on how long I keep it up? I love reading everyone elses blog. I think mine will be mostly photos. I will try and write, but you are not allowed to correct my spelling. Deal? I will start out with December 31st because we stayed up way to late. The party started at Cheleces house for her birthday. Kevin had a root canal so Papa, Cameron, Emery and I went. We were able to see Aunty Mindy and Amy. Mindy even put on a dance for us!

Chelece was dressed like a princess. Her mom said that she always dresses like a princess. She always looks classy!

We had to leave her party early because we had made plans to meet some friends at http://www.mykaraokecafe.com/ for New Years. I am so glad we went. It was our first time there and the kids had a blast. It was a perfect place to go with children for New Years Eve. The girls both were able to sing and loved it. Oma and Papa were visiting from Buffalo, NY so they came with us! They didn't sing on stage, but I caught Oma singing to the songs at our table. It was an excellent evening!
Emerys first karaoke experience!

CAMERON featuring the Monster...

We met up with a few fabulous friends... if you weren't there and you are reading this you are fabulous just because you are reading this..... hahaa



Kevin with his date... his wife was the 'official' photographer for herself! So when midnight hit, I found Kevin with Sexy Lexy! he he!





What a fabulous end to an incredibly horrible year!

THE ZOO and Story time!

Way back in February we had a fun playdate with Isabella! We went to Barnes and Noble for storytime.




We did a little craft and went up to Hogle Zoo!





You can decided who had more fun....

Aunt Amy met up with us there and the girls beat her up again for moving far.



I caught Kevin kissing some girls...

That tired him out so he made Isabella give him a ride!

The girls got lazy. Its not summer so they are not use to the hike around the zoo.

I explained about our wonderful holiday Thanksgiving...
We went for a ride on the train, played with the gators painted with water and went home. That was our first time to the zoo in 2009!
