With two teenage girls, we are realizing how much they struggle with "who"they are in this time. This year for Christmas both girls got lap tops, refurbished of course, and a DVD to help them remember how special they are.

Charming Chicago!
We went to the museum of Science and Industry. I can honestly say this was the BEST museum ever! I really don't enjoy museums but I suck it up for my families well being. That being said, this one was amazing. I really loved it! This picture was taken in the How Weather Works area. The girls were enjoying the wind blown appearance. Very cool.
This is an actual submarine that was captured in WW1, U-505. They built this museum around this enormous thing. We were able to tour this submarine. Our tour guide was amazing, he had you so involved in the tour that you felt as if you were really there. Although when he described how 50-75 men were in there for months without a shower I was super glad I wasn't really there. This was simply awesome.
Madeline and Savannah have found their future prom dress!
What would a trip to the museum be without a little face painting. Savannah got a butterfly. Madeline's was an elephant and Abigail's was a unicorn. Very cool!
We are so grateful to my Uncle Kevin and his wife Jen for treating us so awesome. We couldn't not have had a better time. We shopped, ate, walked, ate, shopped and ate some more. We had one perfect weekend...thanks Uncle Kevin!

Shaving Cream fun to celebrate the beginning of summer.
This year I decided to start the summer off just right! When the children exited the bus, I attacked! I pretended to be weeding the yard, when they arrived I sprung! I was armed with shaving cream and squirt guns! What fun! The only child that reacted was Jonah...he sprung into action! The other children were stunned. They stood there unsure of what was happening. After the initial shock they got into it. This was so awesome. I just love these sweet children.

Sorry David!
Cozumel Fun
David and I had the opportunity of a lifetime to go to Cozumel with some friends. It was a perfect week! David got to scuba dive. He saw some incredible under sea creatures. I got to read and nap. It doesn't get much better than that. We enjoyed touring this island and enjoy the beauty of it. We sure missed our children but relished in enjoying just the two of us again!

Talent Show 2010
This year Jonah and Abby participated in their school talent show. Both stole the show and did very well. Abby is singing one of her favorite songs, You Belong to Me, with her friend Shay. Jonah is doing his 2010 version of Evolution of Dance with a cameo of all his sisters at the end. Enjoy! Now to get 3 hours of sleep before getting a plane for vacation!!!

Let's get ready to rumble!
It was pinewood Derby time! This was so fun! This year the scouts did their traditional derby racing. They had to follow all the regulations. Jonah designed and painted his own car. He took a consistant 3rd place in each race. He did great! They also had an Outlaw unlimited division for the adults. David was soooo geeked. As you can see he car wasn't much to look at it, typical man, but it took first place by far. He attached some parts from a remote control air plane and it took off! We are proud of our two derby winners!

The BEST Christmas present!
For many months the popular question in the house was; "Hey mom, Do you have some duct tape and scissors?" Coinciding with the question you would see one cute little boy calling any toilet paper roll or paper towel roll as his own..."I call that roll!" So for Christmas we collected as many rolls as we could get from family and friends, bought him some duct tape and gave him his own scissors. He has created all types of things with these items. He is most drawn to making weapons (great!) but he has soooo much fun. This was the best idea ever!

My sweet Agabail (A.K.A. Abigail) turns 7!

I am not sure when it happened but Abigail got big on us...She is the last of our babies and I am woman enough to admit that it is tough seeing her grow up. She will probably always be this little baby to me. Here are the top 10 things we love about Abigail:
10. Abby loves the fashion...as a baby she always wore bathing suits. Today she loves what her sisters wear.
9. When Abby plays with baby dolls or barbies she is so independent. She plays alone for hours.
8. Abigail is a good eater and loves her fruits.
7. Abby always kisses me and tells me she will always be my baby.
6. Abigail is NOT shy...she loves people and to entertain them.
5. Abby can play sick and I buy into it...she is so good at getting what she wants, and we are so bad...we give it to her.
4. Abigail loves to do her homework and is super smart!
3. Abigail is a great leader. She will tell an entire group of friends what they are going to do and how they are going to do it.
2. She looks and acts so much like her oldest sister Madeline that we call her our MINI Maddy.
1. She is a sweet little addition to our crazy life!
