Picture Perfect

Here are some of the latest pictures taken by Kameron with his new digital camera! He was so proud that he could finally contribute to our FAMILY blog! I hope that you enjoy his pictures!
"Can't you see I'm trying to nap here?"
"I'm not so sure about this Kameron!"
"Just getting even with you Mom!" Ha!
"See Mom, I even share my new camera!" (I'm not sure who took this picture!)
"Lunch Time"
"But Kameron....I'm not even a Vikings Fan!"
"Look at Me, I'm almost 3 you see!"
"Can I be the princess?"
"Laundry Time"
"It's a little cold in here!"
"Jaxon, which card should I play next?"

Look what Santa brought...

The Nintendo Wii topped Adrian's list after discovering how much fun they were to play at his friend Michael's house, play dates with brother Zack, and B-Day parties. Daddy is pretty excited that Santa brought us a Wii as well!
Kierra and her twin babies and double stroller!
Jayden's Holiday Party Barbie! (Notice it is still in box... this is just one of a few that haven't been opened yet, due to all the crazy packaging) Mom and Dad said that they never wished to see another twisty tie in their life. (whatever that means) Mommy also likes to save some new toys for a rainy (snowy) day since we got so many new toys this year for Christmas!
What will they think of next? Jayden asked Santa for Baby Alive that eats, drinks, talks, and goes potty. I guess I should have had her train Kierra and Jaxon last summer, since she thinks this is so much fun! Although after potty training her Baby for the first time, she asked big brother, Kameron, to put the diaper back on. I really wish my camera was handy for that one! Priceless!
Speaking of camera, here is Kameron with his new digital camera. He has taken pictures of just about everything you can think of during the past 24 hours. Each of his brothers and sisters, several of mommy, daddy, G'ma, Papa, toys, decorations, cars, trucks, trains, dolls, lefse, snowmen, Tinkerbelle (our cat), Cassie (the dog), Papa's beer can, a sugar cookie, the snow (out of our picture window). YOU name it, he's got it! What a good photographer he is too by the way! He even positions people just right, and makes sure he can fit everyone/everything in the view finder! I'll let you know when he sets up his own studio! Oh... and stay tuned because he's already asked me to put some of his pictures on our family blog. I will certainly share some just as soon as I read up on the manual a bit.
Kierra got a new mini "jump"oline just like they have at gymnastics. Kierra always does a pretty good job listening at gymnastics, that is, until they head over to the trampoline station. Then she gets on the mini trampoline and doesn't think she needs to get off it for the entire time there. I think she just loves being on it so much and she thinks she's doing exactly what she's supposed to, until she hears her teachers say it's time to SHARE now! Although she's been great at sharing some with her sister and brothers, 9 times out of 10 she can be found jumping away on her new trampoline!
Oh yes, you sure can't miss this fire truck. It's about as big as Jaxon, and look at how it is the length of our bedroom doorway. Big brothers, Adrian and Kameron, are a little jealous of their little brother, as their firetrucks are much smaller!
Gator Golf is another fun game that Jaxon has really enjoyed. You hit the golf club in the gator's mouth and then it rolls down the tail, and pops right back out at you so you can golf some more! Even Mommy and Daddy were practicing their putting!

Look! New PJ's for after a long day's work/play!
Jaxon insisted that his new NAVY bear from Daddy wanted to be in this picture too!
Kameron exhausted after another long day!

Wii Bowling

We had a wonderful time playing Wii Bowling. Even G'ma and Papa played it with us for the first time! Although Daddy and Mommy think they are pretty good at it, they still can't beat Adrian and I.
Take a look at the score below! Mommy had a great game, but as you can see I (Kameron) had even a better game! Look at all my strikes and spares!

Thank You

A Pup Named Jack!



Kierra Playing Mommy!

This morning while Adrian, Kameron , Jayden, and Jaxon had their church Christmas program practice, Mommy took me to her classroom to play! Well actually Mommy was doing some work stuff (I guess), but I sure had a fun time playing "Mommy" while she worked! It was so much fun... I had all the toys to myself, and no one to fight with, or take toys away from me. Mommy said I was such a good lil' helper and that we could go back again someday! I now know what it would be like to be an only child, and although it was fun for a while, it wouldn't be too long before I would miss my playmates! Thanks for such a fun morning together Mommy!

Twins???


No we're not twins, (in fact Mommy says we don't even look that much alike), but everywhere we go people ask that question. I guess it might be because mommy likes to buy doubles, or matching clothes for us! This time, we can thank our twin cousins, Gabi and Belle for the matching holiday dresses and hats! We don't get a whole lot of hand me downs from them, but when we do it sure is fun! Thank You Aunt Teresa!

Top Ten List

For those of you who haven't tuned into the national news the last couple days, ND has experienced yet again a pretty bad blizzard. We have been stormed in now for two days and mommy says she can't wait for Tuesday (whatever that means). I guess she just misses her job so much! No, actually we have all enjoyed being home together... with no place to go and nothing really pressing to do. It was pretty relaxing for the most part ( a little crazy at times too, as you can imagine with 5 kids stuck indoors wanting to go play out in the snow soooo badly). Why not let them you ask? The temperature with the wind chill is quite dangerous, dropping as low as 40 below!~ So here are the top ten highlights of our "snow days"!

10. We watched a movie, or two snuggled up in our pj's, by our electric heater from Papa Parker! (he knows just how cold ND gets) Thank You Papa Parker!
9. Adrian got pretty good at basic math addition facts and new spelling words for this week!
(I guess that means we practiced them quite a bit)
8. Daddy gave all 3 boys a hair cut - (As you can see, Jaxon wanted his just as short as Daddy's)
7. We played Nintendo DS, our Leapsters, and Pac-Man
6. We helped Mommy with ALL her holiday baking, and gift wrapping.
5. We made individual forts using ALL the blankets and pillow in the house! (see above)
4. Mommy beat Daddy at several games of Canasta! :)
3. We played play-Doh, colored, read books, played trains, dolls, house, dinosaurs, and Memory.
2. Daddy got to spend 1/2 of his Monday work day at home, but we didn't see him much because his time was spent on the driveway snow blowing, shoveling, etc just to get his car out.
1. Daddy got to read the Sunday paper on Monday because the paper boy couldn't get through our 5 foot snow drifts on Sunday to deliver it....

No More Curls... for Today!

I've been asking Mommy to bring back my Dora hair again for quite a while, so on Sunday while Daddy took the other kids to Sunday School, Mommy and I played beauty shop. Look, even after sitting still for 20 minutes playing tea party, while Mommy made my curls disappear I was still all smiles!!! Mommy can't believe how long my hair has gotten since summer time, when I last had my Dora hair.

Jaxon braves the weather!



As you may remember, Jaxon wasn't in the latest outdoor snow pictures, because he was too freezing cold to go outside to play. Well, on Sunday his big brothers asked to go out and shovel the driveway (yeah, right... hope they still ask that same question 10 years from now). Anyways as they started getting their winter clothing on, here comes Jaxon with his boots and snowpants too. He decided to brave the cold after all, and seemed to have a great time. It was short lived and he still came in freezing cold, but nothing that hot chocolate didn't seem to fix.
