Happy 32nd Birthday Chris and Kelly

I was behind on my blogging again, so you will have to click on "older posts" to see all the new ones I finally got to.

Chris and I are 3 days apart. Crystal and Ryan had us over for yummy homemade lasagna and cupcakes. Thanks guys!

For Chris' birthday I made Chicken Enchiladas. Chris loves Mexican food.

Then red velvet cake

All the kids wanted to help blow out the candles

They enjoyed eating it up.

For my birthday, Chris and I went to the City Cafe. Ry and Crys watched the kiddos. It was a great 32nd birthday.

Mr. Fix It

Chris was working on his motorcycle adding some new parts to it. And he had the tools out. Dylan helped himself to some of them and thought he should fix his sister's stroller. It was so cute. Boys are so different.

He was so proud of himself.

Happy 9th Birthday Sophia!

Sophia Marie is all grown up. She just had her 9th birthday.


She got to have 3 parties. She went to the movie theather with some friends and watched Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Squeakquel.



Sophia, Miko and Meagan

Then we came back to our house for Baskin Robbins ice cream cake and presents

Peppermint ice cream and vanilla cake. Yummmmmm

On her actual birth-day, we went bowling with some friends. Sophia and Miko wrapped up waiting to see what the ball will do.

Addison and Dylan hanging out.

Dylan liked the air blowing thing. Look at that hair blow

Then for her third party, we had Crystal and Ryan's family over for dinner.

Shirts and Claires card from Uncle Ryan and Aunt Crystal

Chris got Sophia UGGs. She really wanted some for Christmas, and didn't get them. So she was really happy to get some for her birthday.

She wanted an OSU shirt and Grandma and Grandpa Coverstone came through. Now she has her own shirt for game days.

Polly's from her Dad

And another cake to top off the celebrations. I think she had fun at all 3 of her parties.

Christmas 2009 at Home

When the girls got home we opened gifts to and from each other. Addison with her new coat.


Chris and his new shirt.

Sophia and her Polly Pocket Roller Coaster Resort playset. Say that 5 times fast.

Dylan in one of my favorite outfits.

He's ready for the cold weather.

Fun in Oregon

After Christmas we went to the snow. We went sledding at the snow park with the Cordles. It was great they could join us.



Beautiful snow angels.

Cute sledder

Me and Soph in the car on the long ride home. We got stuck in a snow storm on the way home. Dad did a great job driving home. Are those rabbit ears?

Addison actually hiked up the hill, while the rest of us got towed up the hill. She got a lot of rest on the way home.

We got to visit with our Oregon friends, which I always love. Here's Bumblebee.....I mean Carter.

Kenzie, Carter and Dylan. The kids play so nice together.

I miss everyone already.

Christmas 2009

We celebrated Christmas a few days early with the Burks side of the family before we left for Oregon. The girls were already there and Dylan and I joined them on Christmas Eve.




Dylan loved opening his gifts from Grandma and Grandpa.






Maggie liked her jacket we got her.



And Dylan loved his jacket and plane from G. and G. Burks

Dylan and I got to Oregon on Christmas Eve and all the grandchildren got to spend it with Grandma and Grandpa Coverstone. I was sad Chris had to stay home and work and we missed him a lot. But I was thankful I was able to spend Christmas with the rest of my family.

Kids getting ready to open their PJ's


Boys in their Christmas jammies.

Hugh Hefner....ooops, that's Dad in his new robe.

We always give the kids new PJ's for Christmas Eve. Addy has Christmas tree pants and Sophia has Peppermint Candy pants, but you can't see them in this picture.

Christmas morning at Mom's. The girls spent their's with their Dad.



Christmas dinner with everyone. Thanks for hosting Mom. It was really yummy.
