WALL FAMILY

I have a bunch of random pictures that I wanted to share from December (2010) and January (2011). Dylan played basketball this year and his team was undefeated!! Dylan has played the two years before this but they never had games with other teams before, so this was a first for Dylan. He had a hard time at the beginning but quickly picked up on the rules and became more confident in playing and ended up doing pretty good and having lots of fun! My kids are always making goofy faces and making theirselves look funny in any way they can think of. After getting out of the shower they combed their hair and came to show it off with their funny faces. I got a new sewing machine for Christmas that I absolutely LOVE!! It was totally a surprise and it really made my day :) This is Rylee's beloved blankie and it was falling apart. When I made the blanket, I made it with white flannel on the back (Dont ask me why I chose white). But after using it all the time and washing it tons it was looki...

I really love this time of year. I love the decorating, the baking, the special programs at school and most of all, watching my kids enjoy Christmas morning. Here is a little bit of what we have been doing while waiting for the big day. Decorating the house and the Christmas tree... Dylan made this angel ornament for me a couple years ago. Here is the finished tree... These are Rylee and Dylan's FIRST ornaments when they were babies... A family ornament that we had made plus one of Jordan's older ones that I made for her in 2001... The school held a band concert for Christmas that Dylan was in. This was his first year playing an instrument. He played a baratone, at least I think that is what it's called anyway. Here is a video of the 5th graders playing one of their tunes. It was so cute and kinda funny, we kept hearing lots of funny squeeks and scratches but boy, did they try hard and did fairly well for only playing for a couple months. It was hard to get a pictur...

Something you'll hear around our house over and over...."I don't like your attitude!" This is said in a playful or funny way though. Kirk walks around telling everyone this ALL the time and the kids now copy him. Take a look...I LOVE it :)

This video was taken from my back window. And boy am I glad I wasn't outside to get this one. It is one scary and beautiful strike! Here is an image from the video stilled so you can see it better.

Rylee loves his rocking horse. I just think this is cute, I'm sure you'll agree! (Of course you will :)

Now you get to enjoy a small tidbit of my child who is always trying to entertain someone. This is what you see when you allow your kids to get BORED!

Rylee has all of a sudden become a very friendly little person and wants to say hi and bye to everyone. And since it's so cute I wanted to share it with everyone who doesn't get to see it while they are driving by.
