We've been BuSy!!

So, I haven't been much for blogging lately....we have been so busy! :) Kylee has been doing basketball since the middle of October with games every Saturday morning and practice every Tuesday night. She LOVED it!!! She was the ONLY girl on the team, and most times the only girl on BOTH teams, but she has had so much fun playing and really made a huge improvement from the beginning of the season. Drew and I were able to coach the team, which was kinda crazy, but super fun!

10 five & six year olds....can you say a little NUTS?!

Our cute basketball girl!

Kylee and COACH!

Her dad even went out and bought her some "real" basketball shorts...apparently the cute black and pink ones I had for her were not "ballin' shorts." Whatever. :)

Yes, it was as crazy as it looks!

I love this picture...Drew did such a good job with the kids. He really helped alot of them, and the difference in the kids from the first game to last was incredible! They loved playing together as a team and were actually pretty good!

Now this little girl cracks me up on a daily basis. She is so funny lately. She is growing up and I don't know if I can handle it!! Ever since we took her first day of school pictures, whenever she has preschool, she makes me take her picture, in the same spot and the same poses. Doesn't she look so grown-up?!?

Such a little poser with her hand on her hip. Love the attitude...well, sometimes. :)

And then there is this little guy. Oh man is he fun. Absolutely crazy, but definitely fun! This was on the car ride home from Thanksgiving in IF. He HATES his car seat. HATES. IT. BAD. There is screaming and throwing things and crying and kicking. And it is a 5 hour drive. Fantastic.

This football helped. For 5 minutes. Maybe 6. Notice his big bruise on his forehead? Yeah...I have a feeling we have MANY more of these to come.

I don't know why I am so horrible at taking pictures. We were in IF with my fam for Thanksgiving, we had the craft fair, stayed at a hotel for a few days, stayed up at my aunt's cabin, and as you can see, not one picture. I am so mad at myself. But...it was EXTREMELY fun, playing and seeing everybody. And the blizzards were pretty fun too. From the inside looking out. :)

When we got home from IF, me and Christie (my cute sis-in-law) hit up Target for some AWESOME black friday shopping, at 2:45 in the morning. PHEW! That's early! But it was fun! Then the weekend consisted of crazy kids!! Kylee and Brooklyn thought it would be fun to sit in Kaden's high chair. And then I put the tray on and they couldn't get out...then I thought it was pretty funny.
Kaden's official say CHEESE smile!

My kiddos have got a pretty amazing aunt! Whenever she is here with us, they always have so much fun and she is a HUGE help to me!!! The Sunday before she left they put together a gingerbread house!It turned out super cute and they had a blast doing it...and a definite sugar rush too!

We also put up our Christmas decorations...Christie and Drew putting up the tree, and the girls a posin' away!

Totally took the picture looking into the windows, but here is Christie and Drew "fluffing" out the tree!

Every year Drew has been able to hold both the girls and let them put the star on together....well, this year was a little harder!

So we enlisted some help from Uncle Kyle and made it work!!

When Drew and Kyle were up on the roof putting the lights up, and Christie and I were cleaning up, the girls enjoyed some quiet time by the tree, reading some of our Christmas stories. LOVE this picture!

I am so thankful for this time of year, I LOVE the holidays!! Hope everyone is doing great and having a perfectly wonderful Christmas Season!!!
