SNOW DAY!!!

It started snowing late Thursday night and this is what I woke up to at 7 o'clock in the morning. The first picture is our backyard. It was beautiful. The kids got their first ever snow day. School was cancelled the last day before winter break. They were soooo excited. We walked to my friend Carla's house and had a snowball war. Kids against old people!! Don't have any pictures of that cause I was busy defending myself. LOL We came home and got warm, then the kids went back out and built their snowmen. And it started snowing again. It's been snowing off and on all night. I am loving it!!

Calvin's School Play

Calvin's first school play was sooo cute. Calvin was an Earthling who, with his schoolmates, explained the true holiday spirit to invading Martians. The Martians needed the snow for fuel and were going to freeze the earthlings. By singing Christmas tunes and being loving and kind, the Earthling children saved the day. Calvin had a one line part and delivered it beautifully. He did all the dancing and hand actions with all the energy he does every thing else. And most of us know, Calvin has A LOT of energy! LOL Oh, and the first picture is of Calvin and the little girl who has a very big crush on him. But he keeps saying his girlfriend is still Trinity who was in his Kindergarten class, not his 1st grade class. Poor guy. He is very loyal. LOL

Jordan's 12th Birthday, Nov 14 2009

Jordan is 12 years old. I can't believe it. For his big day we went bowling. It's one of his favorite things to do. And like the genius I am, I forgot the camera for that portion of the day. Oops! Anyway, he got to invite two of his friends along for bowling and lunch. We all had fun. He loved all his presents. So Thank You to everyone for contributing to this special day. I included on this post a picture of him receiving his Honor Roll certificate for the 1st semester of 6th grade. Also, some pictures of his very first band concert. He plays the clarinet mostly, but got to trade off playing the drums. (I think he likes the drums best!) I am so very proud of Jordan. He is the best big brother and really works hard at all he does.

Calvin's 7th Birthday, Nov 12th 2009

Calvin's birthday was a good day. We had his friend Donovon over to play, open presents and cake. He seemed to have a lot of fun. Ripped open all his presents and was happy with everything. He loved his new tie that Grandma gave him. He's ALL about the ties!! And he bought a new Lego Star Wars ship with Great-Grandma's gift. He had a wonderful day. So thanks to everyone!!
