bball, blogs and big kev

Hello all. the kids put in a few words, so I felt the need to do so as well. We are going to try and have them post something at least once a week. So consider yourselves warned!

Brenden and Allison start basket ball this coming week. They are very excited. I am trying to be as awesome as dad and coach them... I have some big shoes to fill... and a long way to go, still. I love you dad! Thanks for your great example.

Allison has created her own blog, so feel free to check it out and see what you think. It is http://www.allimaclife.blogspot.com/

She is one smart cookie, and keeps us smiling around here.

I just weighed in at 205.4 lbs today to finish off our biggest loser competition here at work. I got fourth place, but I am thrilled to have lost 17lbs and I am hoping to drop another 10 or so. So I am hoping to be a little bit less of a big kev in the future.

Allison

Well this Christmas break i had a lot of fun a ate a lot of chocolate. i also went to a lot of parties. But today i am only going to talk about one. I went to my best friend Burke's party. It was so fun. first we did a gift exchange and i gave someone a dollar bill and i got a bunch of Chocolate!! Then, we went downstairs and watched monsters vr. aliens that was really fun! After that we went and had some snacks. Thats the funny part cause Jake put some cucumbers on his eyes and i missed and it fell on his jacket!! it was fun!!! I love my Friends!!

Alli

Alpacas and llamas are really cool. They are awesome and i really like them. To me they are the coolest thing ever! I even made up a song about llamas. It goes to the tune of "Oh, Christmas Tree". Here is how it goes. "Oh awkward llamas oh awkward llamas why are you so awkward. Oh awkward llamas oh awkward llamas why do you have pink bottoms? You are so small and so fuzzy. You are so white and sometimes pink. Oh awkward llamas oh awkward llamas why do you have pink bottoms!" Pretty coOl huh?!

For Christmas i got a lot of stuff! for one i got an awesome sour candy maker. So I can make candy for myself anytime.i also got a camera and an IPod. It was a fun Christmas and i loved it!!! (I also love alpacas and llamas)

We also started basket ball that is really fun! My teammates are really nice and cool. we will have a lot of fun and i can tell!

The Cold Month Of December (and akward llamas)

For Christmas i got some new clothes, socks, Mario Kart, candy, and a Ipod and Camera that i have to share with my sisters (bridge, and Alli). I also had alot of fun at family christmas partys. One wednesday the youth had a New Years Eve party, it was alot of fun, that is untill i hurt my foot. New Years Eve i had a party with a few of my friends and that was alot of fun. New years day our family went to Brett and heathers house and hung out.Alli, Bridge , and I slept over and went home the next day.

We started comp. and Jr. Jazz practice and that is fun. I look forward to Church basketball. That is pretty much my mounth of December!! and currently i am wondering why allison is posting her song about akward llamas???? THE END

Rorie Ann

One of Rorie's favorite things to say is "Daddy your silly." We think she is pretty silly too. Rorie is growing up way to fast. She speaks pretty clearly most of the time but some time we really have to concentrate to figure out what she is saying. She had a lot of fun opening presents this year in fact was really sad when she was done opening them all and there wasn't any more to open. She also really enjoys having her picture taken as long as she can see the picture immediately afterwards.

Rorie loves Allison. This morning it was so fun to watch her wake up Allison. She was kissing her and giving her hugs and saying "Alli I love you." It's kind of hard to take as a mother but she really does prefer Alli over me most of the time!

Regan

This year for Christmas I got a tea set. I like it a lot. I also got a pug dog from Kyra and Kyra is nice! The next thing I got for Christmas was my clothes. They were cute. I got a dress it's white and black squares.

My cousins and I went to an old barn to take pictures of what it looked like when Jesus was born. I was an Angel. Kyra and Rorie were Angels also. Brenden was Joseph and Bridgette and Alli were girl shepherds. Aunt Millie's baby was baby Jesus.

Kyra

This year for Christmas I got some books with different stories in them. One story is Little Women and Ann Of Green Gables. I am reading Ann of Green Gables now and I kinda like it! I also got a mini DVD player that I can bring in the car with me for long trips and I got a Fur Real Friend Dog. He barks and I like him. I got a dress too it has black and pick checks and a pink tie.

My family and I went to Brother Nielsen's for family night (he lives alone now that his wife passed away) and we had a family night lesson and he made us some popcorn balls. It was really fun! The next week Regan and I were delivering Christmas wreaths and we went to take one to Brother Nielsen's house. He invited us in so I could use the bathroom and then he gave us popcorn balls again!! They were YUMMY!
