New Pictures of the kids!!

I have been such a slacker on getting their picture taken this past year. So instead of being 2, 4, 7, and 9 years old......well...they are 2 1/2, almost 5, almost 8, and 9 1/2 years old. Better late then never I have to tell myself. I thought these pictures turned out so cute. I have a lot more but thought I would post just a few. Enjoy my adorable kids.

New Years Eve Fun

Christmas

Here is our Christmas. We had a really fun time. Alexa and Kylie just love their new American Girl Dolls. Tyler is enjoying his new beyblades and stealth ride. Jacey loved her new dolls. Mom loved her new coat and crockpot while Dad liked the new clothes. We are so blessed to have celebrated Christmas with Garry and Donna on Christmas morning and enjoy the Fowles Christmas evening.

Did I mention Kylie is going to marry Justin Bieber....

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! We have a skeleton ninja, Taylor Swift, a fairy princess, and a cute kitty.

My sister Micala dressed up as Dorothy and really wanted Grizzly to come to finish up the outfit, but he was busy having fun with his brother back in Cedar.

And....This is my brother Connor! He loves to scare anyone...even children.

We had fun this Halloween weekend in Santa Clara. We carved pumpkins, made caramel apples, ate at a potluck dinner two houses up from my parents house (open for anyone to enjoy), went to a great haunted house (except the girls wouldn't go), and oh yeah, had to drive back to Cedar to get the costumes that I had packed and ready to go, that were waiting for me on the girls bedroom floor. Fun times! I could have driven to Vegas instead. What you do for your kids!

Can't wait to see our family pictures!!

My cousin Jamie is awesome! She recently took family pictures at my brother's homecoming. She sent me this picture as a preview.....makes me anxious for our family ones. They will be coming soon. Check out her photograhpy at www.jamiepoort.com Thanks Jamie and we can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

Ole "Crusher" at the rodeo

So, we decided to take the kids to see "Ole Crusher" in action at the rodeo. Good thing we went, because he gave us a behind the scene personal tour.....

Garry and Cindy (she and her husband are the main ones in charge of the rodeo and provide a lot of their own stock for the rodeo) talking and working at the chutes.

When I snuck up to the chutes to take Garry's picture, I saw long curly blonde hair from the back. I was wondering to myself, who this young thing was and why Garry was engaged in such deep conversation...then she turned around and I saw that it was Cindy. Wow she looks great from behind...not many people do. :) Glad to know it was Cindy and not some young thing!! Kylie was unsure if she really wanted a picture of this "rodeo clown".

This was taken right after he gave us a tour of the stock, the cowboy trailer (where they go to grab their gear), and luckily only Nate saw the half naked cowboy changing off to the side of us. I guess he didn't expect a family with kids to go walking by. Come to think of it...wasn't it a Thursday...dang it! We should have joined in too! :)
