Christmas Day Snow.

After we opened presents we all went outside and played in the snow. We just moved to a new house and we finally have a backyard that the kids can play in.

Christmas Day!!!

The kids (Tuff and Bee) woke up at 4:16 in the morning. We made them wait until 5:00 and then we got Olive and Harley up. Santa had eaten all of the cheese and cookies we left for him and drank all of the bubbly!! The kids got all kinds of things. I think their favorite was their leapsters. They all got one and they played on those all day long.

Christmas Eve Party at Grandma Bonnie's

The Christmas Eve Party is a fun tradition in our house. This year we left a little late and there was a huge snow storm. We almost didn't make it in time to see santa. The kids were hoping we would get there just in time to see Santa's sleigh and reindeer. We got there after Santa but we did make it just in

time to see him and the kids all got to sit on his lap (except for Olive, she didn't want anything to do with him.) and collect their presents of new pajamas and slippers.

Hooley Family Christmas Party.

The Hooley family Christmas party was fun. The kids all did a talent during the talent show. Bee and Harley did a dance they learned at cheerleading called the Ice Cream and Cake. Tuff played jingle bells on the piano. They all did a great job!!

Harley's birthday party.

Harley's birthday party was held a few days after her birthday so more people would be able to make it. Her "favorite" Aunt Cole was there. Grandma Nettsy and Papa Ivan were there. Grandma Jane was there. Uncle Brandon and Aunt Ski were there. Aunt Andrea was there. Uncle Derek and Aunt Mel were there. And her cousins Dawnah and Tandra were there. She wanted to have a Halloween birthday party for months before her birthday so we borrowed aunt Andrea's decorations and got a frankenstein cake. It turned out well.

Harley's birthday.

Harley had her third birthday on November fourteenth. We didn't have her birthday party for a few days after her birthday so we still celebrated with a little party on her birthday. She got a lot of Dora presents.

Cambria's First Cheer Competition

Cambria had her first cheer competition of the year on November 10th. They did very very good. They took first place. Cambria was very disappointed however because she wanted to take the trophy home. I couldn't get her to smile with the trophy. She had a lot of fun though and felt so pretty with her make up on and her cheer uniform. The top picture is a picture of her team she is on the far left.

HALLOWEEN

We went trunk or treating at Tuff's school on Halloween. Tuff was the grim reaper, Bee was tinker bell, Harley was a scary witch (see her mean witch face), and Olive was Dumbo. When we got home Olive was eating four suckers at one time! We got a lot of candy.

Scary Jack-O-Lanterns

We carved our scary Jack-O-Lanterns the night before Halloween. We put candles in them and put them in the living room, the kids got to sleep in the living room on the floor.

The Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pujmpkin patch and got our pumpkins this year. Tuff pulled around the cart to put our pumpkins in. We couldn't pick just one pumpkin, so we came home with six.

HALLOWEEN PARTY!!!

We went to a Halloween party at Uncle Craig and Aunt Andrea's house. All the cousins were there and Grandma Jane and Papa Sherwin. We played musical chairs, pin the nose on the jack-o-lantern, pop the balloon, and bobbed for apples. Bee couldn't get her balloon to pop. She jumped on it, layed on it, nothing worked so finally Tuff helped her. When the kids bobbed for apples I think Tuff ended up swimming for his, but he got it fair and square. Bee ended up cheating, and Harley had a little help, but they all got their apples and had a great time!!!

TUFF'S FIRST LOST TOOTH!!

TUFF FINALLY LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH AT SCHOOL ON OCTOBER SEVENTEENTH. TWO OTHER KIDS PULLED THEIR TEETH OUT AT SCHOOL THE SAME DAY. THE TOOTH FAIRY CAME AND BROUGHT A DOLLAR. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE OTHER BOTTOM TOOTH CAME OUT.

SPUD DAY PARADE

THE KIDS GOT A LOT OF CANDY AT THE SPUD DAY PARADE. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. AFTER THE PARADE WE WENT TO THE PARK WHERE BOOTHS WERE SET UP AND WE WATCHED A MAGIC SHOW AND ATE LUNCH.

SPUD DAY RACE

TUFF RAN THE SPUD DAY RACE. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN AND HE DID REALLY WELL!! WAY TO GO TUFF!!!

LAGOON

Tuff's birthday was a while ago but I thought I needed to put more pictures since I didn't have any on here of Tuff and Harley. We had a lot of fun at lagoon. Aunt Jaime and their cousins Porter and Ryker came and later Uncle Jeff came. Now all the kids want to spend their birthday's at lagoon.

Cambria's First Day Of School.

Bee just started preschool this year. She really likes it and loves her teacher. She says she has a lot of buddies in her class.

Olive's first birthday.

Olive's first birthday was a lot of fun!! I had a lot of fun making her polk a dot birthday cake and dressing her up for her big party!!!
