Happy Valentine's day! Well no candle light dinner or anything romantic-maybe pizza and a movie! Oh well we only had to make two boxes for the kids this year! Emery had a football field and Scotlyn wanted a princess castle-so I am not that crafty but they turned out ok. Happy luv day to all!!!

Basketball

I am so proud of my "players" here are some pics of my little basketball team! I have the best kids in the world!!

I

Alone Time!!!

Well I have been working nights, and I get home in time to get the kids off to school about 8:30 and then I have to pick Scotlyn up at 11:30. So needless to say I don't get alot of sleep in those 3 days. Scotlyn is good to let me have a little nap after she eats. I am always saying how she doesn't get into things, then I found my camera! I thought this was so funny she knows how to set the timer and I cant even do that! So this is what Scotti is up to when I am napping

Happy Birthday Fallyn!!!

Today Fallyn is 9! It is going by way to fast, it was only yesterday I was bringing her home. Fallyn had RSV when she was just 2 weeks old and had to go to the NICU, I was so worried about her. As a baby she wasn't my most outgoing child-she was extremely shy and scared of everything and everyone. She started preschool and I had to warn the teachers how she was, after her first day I picked her up the teacher said she was quiet for the first 5 minutes and then she wouldn't stop talking!!! Fallyn has a wonderful sense of humor and her facial expressions are priceless. She is the most compassionate child I have seen. She always thinks of others feelings and tries real hard to make sure everyone feels good(except Scotlyn) When I found out I was pregnant with her I thought there was no way I could do it Corbyn was only 3 and her and Emery would only be 15 months apart, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love how close of friends my kids are, and how they are always looking out for each other. She loves her cousins and she is very close to Alyssa and Colton! I love you so much Fallyn Dawn-you make your family so proud!!!!

BASKETBALL!!!-3 out of 4 of my kids are playing basketball-Sorry no pics my computer is sick! Corbyn is doing pretty good this year and has an awesome coach. Em and Fally are on the same team the Syracuse Snakes(they thought of the name) These two are awesome, Emery has a fast break that you would not believe and Fallyn she is an awesome ball handler! They had there second game on Monday and they won!! Em had 20 points(there whole scored 30 points) she also had so many boards I lost count-Fallyn scored two points but she only shot once and it was almost from 3 point range! She also gave Emery lots of assists and was great on defense! Everyone that has ever watched me watch my kids play sports know I have a hard time being quiet, I am working on it!! My dad hates to sit by during games!!! I love watching all of my kids they are so talented-don't know where they got it from!!! Hopefully soon I can post a few action shots!!

All Moved Out!!

Well it was a busy and emotional weekend-We finally rented out our house. I am very happy that someone else's family can make good memories in it. I was a little sad thinking of all the wonderful time the kids and I have had in there. Bringing them home for the first time, many birthday parties, and just the funny little things that I hope I never forget. I am so blessed to have all the help I got I couldn't have done it on my own!

Christmas

Corb, Em, Fally, Jacelin, and Scotlyn at Grandma Eleanores with Santa. Im sure Grandma Eleanore was so proud of her sons and their wives for carring on the traditions that she loved so much!

Ok- I have been so busy but the kids had a great christmas. Emery was in her school choir, which she had to wake up and go to school early to days a week. She looked so cute she is in the front row with the black shirt and santa hat!
