that new furniture? The kids love it so much that they don't use it!! Well, Emma does lay on it but for whatever reason she completely tucks in a blanket on the seat portion before she lays on it! Her reason is "I don't know...I just do because I want to"~ can you argue with that?
Drew loves it so much he sits on anything but the furniture!
A couple of weeks ago me, the kids, and my Dad went to the Rodeo! It was a last minute thing :) I had a friend call about 45 minutes prior to the show and was wondering if we would want her tickets (her son threw up in the car on the way there) so Dad was over at our house and off we went to the rodeo! I had never been to a rodeo...we had a lot of fun!
Drew sat perfectly content amazed by everything! Emma just loved seeing all of the animals...especially the horses. Below is a picture of what they named the world's smallest cowboy. yes, it is a monkey on a dog!!
So a few weeks ago it was time again to start up activities for the kids. This session we have decided to not take our Thursday night swimming class....the kids discovered that it is way too cold to even swim indoors once a week!! However, Emma is continuing on with her gymnastics. :) Drew is continuing piano lessons and Emma has started piano lessons. We learned this evening that they will be having their first recital in March!! They also picked out what pieces they will be playing. :) Drew has chosen "A Baby Bumble Bee" and Emma decided on "A Spoonful of Sugar" Also this session Drew is lucky enough to start Karate...or as he says it KA YA TE. Here is picture from his very first class.
Well we have purchased a new computer! We have not been able to recover any information off of our old hard drive but have not exhausted all of our options yet either~ so keep your fingers crossed. Anyways, we have lots of pictures to share but I will take my time. :) First, I thought we would do a little flashback of some old pictures!
2004~ While most little girls want to be a Princess for Halloween Emma chose to be a "Grumpy Bat" Yes, those were her words "I want to be a grumpy bat!"
Sledding fun December 2004
2004~ He is the cutest Little Pumpkin
September 2004 ~ A strange resemblance to our trip to the ocean in July...Emma is ready to brave the waves and Drew just sits back and watches!
June 2005 ~ Hello up there!.JPG)
So while I go through past CD's of pictures stay tuned because you just never know what picture may show up!So last week our computer wouldn't start. Geek Squad came out and told us "Sorry". Today, I went to Mom's house to order a new computer...SIGH! Hopefully it will be here soon and you will get to see many new pictures! Until then..bye!
Oh and if all of you who visit us here wouldn't mind e-mailing me your e-mail address...(I do not know how much memory we will be able to salvage off the old hard drive) my non primary e-mail is trayshay@yahoo.com Thanks a bunch! Hopefully we will be back up and running soon!
So while we were in Daytona Dennis and his Dad decided to ride the Slingshot! You sit in this bucket seat... (Papa looked like he was going to barf at any given moment when he sat down)
And then you slingshot..300 feet in the air at 100mph
They survived...and I think they would do it again!
Drew is trying to catch the sun rays in Nanny and Papa's front yard!
Emma and Nanny on the boat.
She still falls asleep in her Daddy's arms.
Here's a picturesque photo of the Lake.
Drew caught a fish!!
Emma caught a fish!
Finally, I saved the best for last!
When we arrived in Florida it was straight to business! CHRISTMAS!!!! Emma loves her new Hannah Montana game!
Drew thinks that he is hot stuff in this really cool belt!
Nanny and Papa love the calendar that we made for them!
Daytona Beach!
Nanny and Papa enjoyed watching the kids play from the boardwalk...even though it was a little breezy up there. However, the weather for the day was sunny and 83!!
Drew ran right into the ocean this time!!
Emma tried to convince me to come in and swim with them ~and that the water wasn't that cold! She's not very convincing!!!
This is our tribute to home!
It is definitely a lot easier to eat ice cream at the beach in January!!
Just walking down the street with a seven year old can be an adventure.
Here the kids are dressed for the big Buckeye game on Monday!
We got home Monday night just in time to see the end of the game..lucky us!
At the top of the kids' list of Florida activities was of course Silver Springs! I think the alligators and crocodiles have missed us...can't you tell by their smiles :)
Here we are standing in the lucky horseshoe palm tree! I have entitled this picture "Me, the Kids, and our Bodyguard"
You can't go to Silver Springs without taking a boat ride!
The kids and Nanny posing by the outdoor Christmas Tree.
This time in addition to feeding the giraffes we also fed the Gators!!
How about this picture of Drew and Papa walking around in their summer attire with those snowmen in the background!
The guys!
We had a great time going out on Papa's boat and everyone enjoyed driving the boat!
Drew and Dennis enjoyed relaxing in the back and feeling the breeze!
