Weekend visitors

The Sieferts came up this weekend for a visit and the kids had fun like always here a few pics a I captured of them.

Update on toybox/bed

So Darren actually slept in there for about 3 hours, or so Brian told me. I would of love to seen that but by the time Darren finally went to sleep I was off in lala land dreaming away. Thought I would tell you all.

Toybox/Bed

Darren must of been tired from cleaning out his toybox that he thought it was a bed too.

Dress up

I always make Cassie change clothes when she gets home from school and this is what I caught her wearing, beautiful isn't it!!

No news...

Sorry for the lack of blogs but nothing new happening here really. We are excited to be going home this weekend to visit family at a family reunion, will post pictures next week. We did add a few new fish tanks but they are not complete with fish yet so will post pics of them at a later time. We are so ready for spring so we can go out but I think if you ask anyone right now they would say the same thing.

Creative little man!!

So I found Darren on his John Deere and asked him what he was doing and he told me "plowing". How cute!! He even found the tape and taped it onto his tractor.

Homemade rocks

A year ago christmas I bought the kids these homemade glow in the dark stones and we finally did them one weekend, what a mess but they had fun.

Few misc pics

Wow all and all we had a great christmas and hope everyone else did too. Make sure you scroll down to see all the christmas pictures. Here a few of Cassie and Darren in their new robes from Santa and the Phillips grandkids with Grandma and Poppy Phillips.

5th and final christmas

Wow christmas was really long this year as it is ususally. We had our final party Sunday following christmas at my parents house. The kids did well like they usually do every year but we were exhausted after all the parties. Now to find room for all their stuff they got.Cassie with her new baby stroller.

Can you tell Darren is excited for his new coat?

Mom opening her wish pearl from us. This ended up being a really cool gift, Brian found them at Bass Pro Shop. It was an unopened oyster with a pearl inside and them you put it inside your necklace that it came with.

2nd and 3rd Christmas

Well our 2nd christmas party was with Brian's grandparents but I didn't take any pictures. The kids both got a few things and we have an adult exchange which I ended up with $20 bill and Brian got lottery tickets and a chocolate bar. The 3rd christmas was at my Grandma's Saturday after Christmas. Here is a picture of us Snay grandkids minus my younger sister who missed out. (from left to right: Dane,Mandi,Kraine,Loren and me)

Everyone ready for the big exchange we do every year.

1st Christmas 2008

These are few pictures from our house. Here is Cassie with her puppet stage, she must of been a good girl.

Here is a nice picture of a messy house,thanks Santa where are all these going to go?

Here is a picture of Darren with his "Mote Trol" as he calls his remote control truck from Santa.

Very creative

After I figured out what Cassie was making I thought how creative. She has been asking for a puppet stage for christmas a while now. We'll see christmas morning if she gets one or not, don't tell her.

Better be good...

You never know when you will get a card from santa saying he is watching you.
