UPWARD CHEERLEADING!!!

Makenzie and Tessa had their first cheerleading game this morning and they both did such a good job!

High Fives for the girls from Coach Madison

They did such a good job, here they are standing in the ready position!

I had to put this up here because my nephew Landon is too darn cute. All the kids were playing and I came around the corner to see his pants down to his ankles and him laughing. He didn't know what to do. It was so cute, he is so super skinny and all his jeans are too loose around the waist, so Pop-Pop made belts for him (the belt is in this picture around the waist of his pants). I think the belt might be too big also ha ha.

Cute Landon

Our first Christmas in our new house

This year was a fun year for us as it was our first Christmas in our new house. We had a great time putting up the tree and filling it with presents.

Happy 3rd Birthday Kaiden!

It is so hard to believe my baby is now 3 already. Time has flown by faster than I would have ever imagined and he is getting so big and growing up so fast. Happy Birthday to the best son in the world, my Kaiden!

Kaiden's icecream birthday cake. mmmmm it was sooo good.

What a cute cake. Thanks Kaiden it was awesome!

Makenzie and her computer.

While everyone else was helping Nanny shred personal information, Makenzie just sat on the couch and played her laptop. I swear it was the best investment ever! ha ha. It really keeps her occupid and she loves it!

Shredding at Nanny's

One of the fun things to do at Nanny's was to shred all of Nanny's personal information. You see, Nanny seems to believe that her identity has a chance of getting stolen if she throws mail away that have her name and address on it. So every letter she gets or bill she cuts out the part of the envelope with her name and address on it, and saves it for shredding. So that is what they were doing. Kaiden had a really good time doing it also. I tried three times to upload the shredding video but I think it was too long so it didn't work.

Visit with Colleen

When we were in Kentucky we had the awesome opportunity to stop by my cousin Colleen's house, which I believe we have not seen for 5 years. It was so great to finally meet her two kids and for her to meet my son. She had seen my daughter Makenzie when she just started walking and was around the age of 1.

It really stinks we had to leave because we were having so much fun, but we definitely are looking forward to seeing them again!

Makenzie and Abby

The kids had a great time playing together.

My sister Heidi lives close to Colleen and she was able to come with us for the visit. She brought her daughter Zoey of course and Abby was all about the baby. She wanted to hold her.

the Hickman's

The kids had a blast in Colleen's basement Makenzie got them all spinning around in circle's.

It was the hardest thing trying to get all 4 of them sitting still to smile for a picture. So here is the best one I got.

and then there was this one, something really funny had to have been going on because they were all cracking up.

Kaiden really liked Abby, they were almost the same height as eachother.

Love this picture, this is Abby's I don't wanna smile face. ha ha

visit with The Hickman's!

Beautiful, beautiful Abby. Oh my little second cousin Abby is the most adorable thing, and ever so sweet.

It had been at least 5 years since the last time I saw my cousin Colleen, but while I was in Kentucky I was able to stop by her house to say hi for a while and meet her two kids! It was a whole lot of fun, and went by tooo quickly.
