Christmas Time

These purple haired, no pants kids decorated our Christmas tree a couple of weeks ago.  They did a really good job.  The tree looks beautiful.  I don't know why Connor doesn't have pants because I was at work while they decorated and apparently Eric didn't care.  Sam's hair isn't purple anymore- it is now bright, bright pink.
So excited to celebrate our first real Christmas in our house!

Band Bash 2012

Sam, Ryan, and Ethan all played in the AF Band Bash last night.  It was great music and great kids. 
Here are some pictures.  Sam has two piccolo solos in her song.  She does such a beautiful job!

 Sam's the one with the purple hair.

 Ryan is the bored blond trumpet.

 Ethan was trying to get comfy while listening to all the other bands.  He did get in trouble for this!

First Day of School 2012

Sam is a junior, Ryan is a 9th grader, Ethan is in 7th grade, and Connor is in 1st grade.  They are growing up so fast.  (I'm kind of glad!)

Florida

 This one isn't Florida, of course, but I love how the house looked with the front porch lights on!

 Ryan eventually got this got to be deep enough to fit his whole body in.

 Just to prove I was on vacation too.

 Eric looking relaxed with a cool can of diet rootbeer.

 Our entryway to the beach.

 Pelican on the pier.

 What a good looking family!

 Wow.  The water is so much closer now!

 Ethan chillin'.

 He loves pop!

 Sam got a great tan.  I tried to get her to wear sunscreen.

 Eric, Connor, and Ryan can be seen in the distance.

 Funny kid.

 So much love.

 Good lookin'!

 Cuddled up in the 90 degree 80% heat.

 Finally got a picture of him out of a chair.

 Fun on the sand.

 "Look at my shell."

Last day on the beach.  I didn't want to leave!

Crazy kid pics

What a bunch of awesome kids we have. They all are so unique. We love them a lot and sometimes they drive us totally insane!!!

Moved into the new house (which we love!).
