Catching up and finally posting more pictures!

So I am a little behind on blogging, so I posted 59 pictures for you all to see what we have been up to. Enjoy.

This is our poor tree that died from lack of water. My family knows that next year may be our last year of having a real tree unless they do 2 things, first it must be tied to the wall and second it must be watered, if those things are not done then I will be shopping for an atificial tree next year.

It looks like a moving blob of pine needles.

My mom and I made a ton of fleece stocking hats and here are some of the pictures of the hats that I listed for sale on line. They are on Ebay this week and they are also on www.etsy.com My site is www.beckyboutique.etsy.com or you can just search for fleece stocking hats. Tell all of your friends. I also now have an Etsy button on my profile on facebook that will take you to my store.

Doesn't take much to keep a 14 year old boy entertained. The only problem is our stair are too wide for the slinky to go down the steps. So he has it go off the table onto a stool and then the floor. He is dying to take it to school and have it go down the school steps.

Kiley's favorite movie.

A Mario shirt to wear when he is playing the new Mario game.

I think the kids loved their soft blankets. They sure were a bear to sew.

More pj's

Finally a game! I think he likes this more than the alarm clock.

The game In a Pickle. It is actually quite fun to play.

This should help Kiley because she is always cold. Her room is the coldest one in the house.

Wow, I got an alarm clock. No more sleeping in!

Tired of posing for pictures.

Kiley got snow men.

Darn, it's not the new game that I wanted just some cute puppy dog pj's

Danny ripping into his present on Christmas Eve. Every year they get to open 1 present on Christmas Eve and it just happens to be their jammies.

trying to get a good picture for the cards

Our beautiful tree before it DIED.

Every year our marching band splits up to 3-4 stores and plays for the Salvation Army kettles. They seem to bring in more money when music is playing.

After we re-decorated the tree.

This is what happens every year after the tree is decorated. I really need more unbreakable ornaments.

Picjking out our poor, ill fated Christmas tree.

Thanksgiving dinner at my parents, I think that my dad was hungry.

Trying to take a family picture for Christmas cards and now you know why you got the picture that was in the card. Maybe next year I will send one of the goofy ones. You never know what you'll get from our family.

Veteren's Day parade in Port Jervis. I could not believe how many Vet's and people were there. I love our small town.

Port Jervis has a halloween parade every year and the high school band marched in it. Danny decided to be a cowboy. He borrowed Keith's belt and hat and boots for the parade.

Kiley with lots of homework. Yes, she finished it on time.

Branch Temple trip to the Manhatten Temple. Keith and Erik were getting one of the cars.

On their way to the bus stop at the end of the driveway. Notice how Danny has the important thinkgs that are needed for school (mp3).

They both bought new Converse high tops for school. Kiley wears hers almost every day, Danny doesn't like how long they take to put on.

Kiley on her first day of being a Senior. My how time flies.

My Young Women Made some baby blankets for a service project.

We took the kids to youth conference up in Albany in August. I think that they had a good time.
