New Year's Eve... just a tad late ;)

We usually stay home on New Year's Eve as we have a dog who is not so fond of all the fireworks that go off around the neighborhood. There were a LOT of fireworks this year. I am thinking it was because we weren't allowed to have any on the fourth of July because of the drought.....At any rate, we hung out with our next door neighbors and some of their friends. Jason was the hit of the night, lighting fireworks for all the kids. Can you tell their amazement?

 It's noce to live in a state where you are allowed to personally shoot off fireworks. I can only imagine the stupid things people in CA would try to do... The fireworks we got were cool and not too dangerous. :)

 The girls liked the lights, but not the sounds. Jenna stayed the whole time in the garage drawing on their whiteboard. Occasionally she went inside for a snack...

All in all, we had a ton of fun and didn't have to worry about crazy people on the road because when kids got tired, we just had to walk across the lawn to our house!

PS - LOVE our house still!

Take the Stage

I know it's been a while.... okay, more like a couple months since my last blog post.... I HATE that I haven't written lately, because we have been doing so much as a family! Sometimes it seems like too much as obviously I haven't had time to post all the fun things we've been up to. Well, here's one of many blog updates....

Take the Stage...

Jenna has always had a passion for music, but she was just so stinkin' cute this morning as she draped her blanket over the picnic table and grabbed my hair brush to sing to the radio. It was too cute. I tried to get a video of her, but she wasn't as cute as when she thought no one was watching,... Here's a little video of her an Julianna rockin' out;
