Monkey Fun...

Happy Birthday Abbie!

This weekend Will and Lexi were invited to Will's girlfriend's Abbie's birthday party. They have been talking about going for weeks now. We haven't gone to any of the "fun" places this fall/winter because of all the germs going around, so needless to say the kids were counting down the days until this party.

Abbie and the monkey everyone was waiting to see. Will said after the party, "he doesn't talk, just gives high fives."

Will and Lexi pausing for a picture. I tried to follow Will around the play area and he was so quick I finally gave up (as did half the parents) and stood in one spot so he would know where to find me. :)

Our friends Tammy and Josh with the birthday girl.

This picture makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. Everyone was seated ready to eat and Abbie got up and started dancing in her seat. It was so cute.

The sweethearts...

The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out around home.

She comes downstairs and hides and pretty soon he comes down looking for her in his black spider man costume. Creepy, huh? Apparently he felt the need to add a witch hat to the already scary costume.We played a little guitar hero on the Wii...

Happy Birthday Maddie!

Last weekend Tammy and Josh were kind enough to take Lexi with them to a water park for Maddie's birthday. She had so much fun and is still talking about it. She is such a little fish.

Will wanted to use a Chipmunks song for Abbie's blog and I managed to find his favorite song "low" sung by the Chipmunks. He is dancing around here like nobodies business. LOL

B Ball...

Last weekend we were able to see my niece Leighten play basketball for the first time. She plays for Iola, but the tournament was in Marion. Although Iola didn't win, the girls tried hard. I can't get over how big she is getting..the years just go too fast. Is this a new dance?Leighten making a shot...Our cousin Kendall also plays on Leighten's team. She is a great guard.
Here she is making a free throw. I also got to see some of the girls I know from Marion.

Happy New Year...

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a good New Years. We had a nice night, going out for dinner and ringing in the New Year with good friends.

The kids rang in the New Year with Grandma and Papa. Surprisingly the kids made it to midnight with Grandma and woke Papa up shortly after midnight by blowing their horns. They didn't want him to miss it!
