Happy New Year

Ok, so I know it is now February and I am still not caught up on the blog. Some day, some day soon I hope.

We spent New Years Eve with friends at Bethany and Aaron's house.  They have five bedrooms and a finished basement so a few families got together and had one big slumber party.  It was perfect and lots of fun!  Noone had to drive anywhere, the kids got to be part of it {then go to bed!}, we didn't have to pay for a babysitter and we could just relax with friends.  It was great!  Bethany was inspired to make the theme of the party Sweatsedo after Mike got one for Christmas and a couple of other people got track suits too.  So we all wore pj's for the night.

Brady, Riley, and Owen [the big kids] playing vids.

Although there was another little girl there, Kendal is usually the only girl hanging with the boys, besides Baby Teagan who is starting to really hold her own in wrestling matches and even instigates them sometimes.  Kendal is super sweet and loves Diesel.

Amy was very proud that she got all the kids to sit down to start settling in for the night.

These next few pictures are hilarious to me.  It truly represents the difficulty of getting a group picture of kids.  First Brady had a balloon in front of his face, then Owen, and then Kendal.  Too funny.

Talk about sweet... Keller is one of the sweetest little boys ever!  He also loves Diesel. Thank goodness Diesel is such a gentle giant.

Just look at these two little ones. I love them!

Keri surprised the kids by making a special New Years celebration just for them.  We didn't want them to stay up until the clock really struck midnight, so we had a mock ball dropping with balloons.

The next morning we left pretty early so Daddy could sleep in a little more on a bed that he actually fit in.  The kids and I played downstairs for a little while before running errands to get them out of the house.  Teagan was really funny.  She crawled under the table, exploring as usual, but then thought she was stuck and started yelling.  Don't worry, big "bra" came to the rescue.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!
