Happy Valentine's Day......Since the Christmas Cards didn't go out!

We can hardly believe that it is 2009! 2008 flew by… one day at a time.
We enjoyed every moment, each month brought new joy.
Like January aka ”After Christmas”, we played with our new toys.
February was fun with 5 feet of snow; we spent lots of time at the house…
Where else could we go!
March was nice, getting warmer; we were so ready for spring,
But the question still remained, how much snow could one winter bring?
In April it started…our life playing soccer.
5 days a week run around, left mom off her rocker!
But May came along, with the boys games and girls dance,
With a great carpool team, mom might stand a chance.
To enjoy June! Our Summer Break!

Swimming and soccer from the time we awake!
We got us a pass to LAGOON for the season, So in July, for the kids,
It was “Wicked” and pleasin’!
August we started school, 4 kids gone all day.

The house got real quiet, what else can I say.
Rixx started preschool, 4 days a week.

On the bus he is off, with a kiss on the cheek.
We put Keatyn in dance the 1st part of September.
Every Wednesday she’d remind me… she would always remember!
October we dressed up as a mummy and grim reaper.
A pirate, a vampire a princess and cheerleader.
November, for Thanksgiving we stayed home and ate!
We got ready and shopped the next morn til real late!
When December came, we enjoyed the season.

We relaxed and hung out & this is the reason.
Things didn’t get done, the cards didn’t get out……
But we didn’t forget YOU or what the seasons about.
We hope that this New Year brings you all that you WISH!
We send you our love, with a hug and a kiss!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Xoxo

Ouch! Sometimes two legs aren't better than one!

January 27th Jaxx has surgery on both of his legs. They put four titanium plates in. One on each Femur and Tibia to assist in normal growth. Surgery went well. He is doing great. He should be able to go back to school by next week. I know he is ready to get out of the house!

OH NINE! Happy New Year!

So I'm not the best at updating the blog - deal with it. Crazy holiday season. I didn't even get Christmas cards out. Anyway, January has been about the same. We still fill our time with soccer and dance. The month flew by.

Dance, Dance, Dance!

Alix is on a dance team called "Vivid". They are a really cute group of girls that have so much fun dancing together. This dance was called the Wonka Gloop. It was a really cute dance. At two of the dance competitions, they took Grand Champion for their age group. They did a great job.

At some competitions they have a Drill Down. Anastin was there to cheer Alix on but decided to join in the Drill Down. She won her age group. They both came home with a trophy. And Keatyn just enjoyed watching the girls dance.

Alix and Anastin are both in dance and they also are in a great gymnastics class. They have fun. Anastin is getting really close to getting her back handspring. I don't know how they dare to do the things that they do.

Keatyn started dance this fall. Her teachers name is Emalia. She is fabulous. Keatyn does such a great job. She loves it. For a while, Keatyn and Rhea were the only two in the class. For being so young and so small, both Keatyn and Rhea are great listeners and dancers. It is so cute to watch them.

Like I said the class was so small but the class grew and there are 6 little girls now. One of the new girls is Keatyns cousin Attli. Keatyn was so excited when she knew that Attli was going to come and dance with her. They are so cute together. They will be performing in the Christmas recital together. I will be sure to tape it and post it.
