Fun in the Sun

Well, there isn't much of the sun out lately so the kids have had to take full advantage of it when it pops out. Saturday afternoon was one of those days last weekend. I caught them having fun together on the swings and then some one on one soccer.

12 Wonderful Years!!

Well, Greg and I had our 12th anniversary on 3/1/09. You are wondering why is she blogging about it almost a month later?? We had to cancel our plans on our anniversary because Greg had an ear infection and bronchitis. Yeah, no kissing on that day!! Then the kids were sick for awhile and the timing just didn't work out till last night. We got to go out and enjoy 5 whole hours by ourselves. We went out to dinner, enjoyed our friend's beautiful wedding (which was appropriate and had the same processional music as our wedding so extra meaningfull), and then walked with each other. It was amazing. Here's some of the fun pics we got.


We also got to see Chrissy for a bit at the wedding and reception. We had fun goofing off.

Forts, Dancing, and Stockings

I know, I know. The title is random. We've had a long week and a half. The kids got the terrible cold flu with high fevers. It was exhausting. When we asked Mikayla what she thought would make her feel better one day, she said to just let her build her own fort and stay quarantined in it. So....we did. The living room became a meca of moved furniture and comforters everywhere.

Then Isabella just broke out into dancing. It was quite hillarious. I wish I could upload quicker the videos of them dancing for us. TOO FUNNY. There wasn't any music or anything.

I am so excited to be done with my first homemade stocking. I decided late last October to go ahead and pick out stockings for everyone and make them. I had already previously done a tree skirt the same way. So anyway, I fully intended to get them all done before last Christmas. (LAUGHING SHOULD COMMENCE NOW!) Then reality struck and I remembered just how time consuming these things really are. I just finished Jordan's. His is the Drummer Boy of course. For my drumming son. They will all be so great when they are done. Mikayla's is next! Can anyone guess what will be on hers???? You'll have to wait and see.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

O.K. This was funny to me. A friend of mine found it. It's memorable because I remember singing this in so many choirs and contests growing up. (Although not this version) But funny all the same. So from me to you, Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.

$2 Movie Time

We got together with some friends today and went to the $2 theatre in Federal Way. Bolt was a highly entertaining movie. More than I expected it to be. I'm pretty sure the lady sitting behind us would agree, huh Lisa! Caden was really into making friends with the people sitting in front of us and Austin actually added some of his own commentary during key moments in the movie. It kept us all laughing. Then there was this adorable red headed boy (my son, Jordan) sitting next to me that had the cutest giggle throughout the movie. He alone was enough to keep a HUGE smile on my face the entire time. So, all in all, a wonderful afternoon at the movies.

Haircut Central!!

Well, today ended up being the haircut day for the Earnhardt children. Aren't they just adorable!! Is it just me or does Mikayla look like she is older than 8!! Man they grow up fast.
