A Little Thanksgiving Fun!

"Gretchen," our family watchdog! This is her favorite spot to "watch" all those rabbits and squirrels and make sure that nothing attacks us!

One of our little "Indian's" waiting patiently for the thanksgiving feast.

Little Missie thinks she is a football "girl." She is always borrowing her older brother's football jersey and playing a little catch.

I'm pretty proud of our Thanksgiving Table. I made everyone color a thanksgiving tree and write five things they are thankful for. This is my place setting. Pretty cute! This is my grandmother's china. It's the china I ate on growing up. FUN for my family. We even had little menu's for each person.

And we even had everyone put on some nicer clothes. Christopher volunteered to be the "model" for our table. NICE!

We even had a little entertainment!

The "Family" marching band. It was so fun.

Little Missie and her "who-me" pose.

It was a very quiet Thanksgiving day feast. It was so wonderful. Loved the rest and quiet of the day! We should try this a little more often.

Colin won the "Turkey Leg" at the first annual Turkey Bowl. It is a frozen turkey leg that will be frozen and kept each year and then passed on to the winner. Aren't we lucky!

And of course a few of us got up and went shopping at 4:15 AM on Friday morning! It was crazy! Colin almost lost his life at Radio Shack getting one of the six "Zune's" for $100.00 Poor kid has to fight every year for his Birthday and Christmas giflts. Two years ago he had to push his way through the crowd for a "Gamecube." Last year he spent the night at Wal-Mart to get a WII, and this year he had to start waiting at 4:30 AM for a 6:00 AM sale for his ZUNE! Holiday Memories!

MIddle School 2007!~

Christopher told me about a program he had been using at school to take his picture. I thought how "fun.!" There I go thinking again. Christopher came home with these lovely "self-portrait's" today!




These are all of Christopher! He is so funny! He just loves to try new things! I just thought I would share a "middle school" moment.
NEED I SAY MORE!?!~

A Cold, Wet Nebraska Fall Afternoon!

The kids were home today for "Fall Break." It was rainy, wet and cold. A nice fall day for some fun indoor activities. I took the chance to pull out the camera and "click" away!

This one might need some explaining...Yes, this is Cameron. --A BOY!--Laura was doing my hair and Cameron decided he wanted his hair done as well. We love those tiny little ponytails. Cameron did too until he got hold of a mirror!

And then it was the kids turn to "turn" the camera on me. I am trying to be a good sport. Don't you love the seven -year-old's idea of how her mother should wear her hair? EEK!

What a fun afternoon! We laughed and played and just had a fun couple of hours.

"Doing the Bunny Hop"

Everyone has been asking about Colin and Christopher. Yes, I do have four children, but it seems that in the last little while I have been taking a lot of pictures of the "soccer" kids. Here is a picture of all four kids! One day we were just being silly and they started dancing and doing the "bunny hop." TOO FUN! They certainly keep me laughing. I think this picture was taken in February 2007 before Laura gave 11 inches to "Locks of Love."
