Riley's Home!

Well since the kiddos had some time off of school we decided to take a trip to Denver to visit the fam over there! And while we were their Zoe called Paige to tell her the good News. Zoe was so funny she said guess what I just got to do... And after I named about ten things she said No I just held Riley at Jannas house! So weighing in at just over 5 lbs Riley is home.... Let the Fun times begin... Grandbaby number 10 on the Oliver side is home! When Alex left on his mission just over 20 months ago there were 6 nieces and nephews and now there are 10 and Ashley's will make 11! What could be more fun than coming home to 5 babies 1 and younger!!!!

Broken Heart!

So last week I was reading Ian's school schedule and realized that the 2nd term is going to be over on the 15th. And this brought on a thought... Will the preschool at Skyline be getting New BIG Friends for the 3rd and 4th term? So on Monday I asked the preschool teacher if this was a year long class or 1/2 year? She said Almost all of them stay the Full Year. Whoa I was so relieved, that meant 5 more months of Keaton for Paige. Her heart throb will keep going..

Well The Preschool Teacher told Jori today that Keaton needs one more class to Graduate and that means Preschool has to be dropped. Well Jori told Paige the news and when I got home from work Paige looked at me and the tears started. The sadest face you have ever seen erupted. She was so choked up she couldn't even tell me the sad news. I just tucked her into bed and she started crying again because she only gets to see Keaton 2 more times. Her first broken Heart. Looking at her makes me Sad. I knew this day was going to come, Just not so soon. I Hope that her next broken heart will not be for 13 more years...... Paige I Love You! And Keaton I know he will miss you too!

Bringing in the New Year!

Here is my band bringing in the New Year!

Zaylee at Midnight! She didn't make it. I barely did.

Someone Hide the Sissors!

So Paige has cut her hair twice in the past two weeks. Not to mention two barbies and also Ians.

Once right in front and the other on top.

Natalie's Home

So they told Janna at the hospital yesterday that Natalie would probably come home on Thursday since she is doing so well, and then when Janna got to the hospital this morning they said come back at 1 o'clock and Natalie will be ready to go home! Since Paige and Zoe have been so excited for another new baby girl we went and made a sign and hung Balloons at Jannas house. So the Ellis family welcomed home at Two months old, all 4 lbs 1 oz of their sweet baby Natalie! YAY and they think that Riley is only a few days behind! The Fun is Just begining!

P.S. I'm so Glad that it was not me having TWO babies!

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a Safe New Year! Rob, Abbie, Ian, Paige and Zaylee!

Dear Santa,

Ian being the Christmas Tree!

So, Santa was at the Primary Activity and I got cute pictures of the kids!

When one goes out they all go out!!

So it is always a fight to have Rob hang the Christmas lights because he is afraid of heights.... And after Ian nagging me everynight that our house was the only house on the street without lights I went out and bought all new lights, clips, extension cords, the works you name it everything needed to hang lights and then paid the neighbor kid to hang them. There was a really cool strand of lights that had huge blubs that change color and blink they were 37.00 a strand then 50 percent off. I thought cool I will get one and hang them on the pole on the front porch. So I went looking and of course they were the last strand so the Clerk in seasonal said he would give them to me for 60 percent off, box them up I said. They rang everything up and when I got home I looked at the reciept and the 37.00 lights were rung up for 5.25. The clerk rang up the 50 percent off and then took 60 percent off of that! Christmas Help is losing that store money. So I took a picture but it didn't do justice for the great light hanging that the neighbor boy did!!!! Ian Loves it, and I guess that is all that matters... except the fight there will be for taking them down, or the neighbor kid will end up with another 20 bucks!
