Pre-School Gym Jam

Friday night we went to the Gym Jam at the kids school. I had my small camera so the picture quality is not very good! The kids were so excited to go since last year they missed it due to Kaitlyn having surgery that day. Cam and Colin got right out and started shooting hoops while we waited for it to start. Kaitlyn with her friends Madilyn and Kiara.
Miss Maureen was telling the rules of the game for "sponge ball dodge ball"!

Makenna, Madi and Kaitlyn doing the parachute!

Colin with Bennett and Carter!

Kristina had a TS convention that night so Brandon, Cam and I sent her a pic text of us having a blast at the gym jam:) We didnt want her to miss out on all of the fun!

Colin and Reese running around!

Misc. Pics

We had a live in patient for a few days last week. My mom had bilateral first metatarsophalangeal joint fusion(thats a mouth full:)) and her bunions done. She was such a trooper!! The kids LOVED having her here and she was a very good patient! Grandma bought Swarovski crystals to decorate Kaitlyn's mirror for her room. Who would have thought you could add $200 of crystals to a $30 mirror!!
Its pretty sparkly....but we all know thats right up Kaitlyn's alley:) We wheeled grandma to the table and they worked until they ran out of crystals!

The kids wearing their matching shirts with Kaitlyn's dolls Kaylee and Connor:)

This was hilarious. Saturday we went to Cams school to stop by the big wrestling tournament that they host every year. Kaitlyn is TERRIFIED of mascots. She was nervous when we went in the school that he would be there. To make her realize he wasnt there Cam took us to the storage room to show the kids the costume was in there. Colin picked up the head and started chasing Kaitlyn with it. We all laughed so hard! Kaitlyn didnt think it was as funny:(

Auntie Kelly and Zachary at Walker Brothers with us for breakfast!

Kaitlyn and Quintin

Cousins!

Kaitlyn just loves this sweater.....only because its like my sweaters where I layer them. She kept telling me all day that she felt just like me:) Too cute!

Blizzard of 2011

Last week we were snowed in thanks to the Blizzard of 2011! The kids were SO excited to see all of the snow! Look at our fence! The snow was up to Colins waist:)

And Kaitlyns too:)

Some yahoo tried to come up our street on a snowmobile and got stuck! The snowmobile sank!

Thanks to our friend Mark who came on his 4 wheeler to help plow!!

Our streets were not plowed and so the fire dept had to walk a lady and her dog home from the main street because the firetruck and ambulance would have gotten stuck!

Poor Cam was trying to snow blow his way thru the street to get to the neighbors to help!

I love how all of the neighbors look out for each other! Cam, Dave, Tom and John were all snow blowing and helping an older neighbor clean off his driveway!

Thanks to Rose for taking my kids out to play. This was there 2nd time going outside. They first went out at 7:30am:)

It was like a block party outside:)

The kids had a blast playing in the snow!!!!

They went in for a break and then they went out for a 3rd time to play! Cam built a fort/tunnel for them and the neighbor kids:)

Dinosaur Dioramas!

The kids are learning about dinosaurs in school. They were assigned an at home family project and had to make dinosaur dioramas. This was a family project which meant the parents were involved. We had SO much fun making them! Here we are all set up and ready to start! Colin and I worked together:)
Colin was forming his volcano.
Daddy and Kaitlyn worked together:)

Cam and I didn't let the kids share ideas and we couldn't see what the other one was doing since the boxes were back to back on the table. I would ask Colin where he wanted things and vise versa for Cam asking Kaitlyn. The thing that is pretty neat is look where they put things. Without knowing they both put their volcano's and their suns on the same side along with other things:) Coincidence...maybe? Twins intuition....maybe?

The kids are SO proud of their projects!!! They worked really hard! Colin is really into dinosaurs so this project was right up his alley. He can tell you what each dinosaur eats and other fun facts:)

Kaitlyn's stories were too cute. She was telling me about her dinosaurs. Here's what she said "This dinosaur is going with her mommy to the mall to shop". Guess Kaitlyn still has more to learn about the dino age:)

We had so much fun and look forward to open house today and to see their displayed dioramas!
