Lexi got a camera for Christmas. She loves it so very much, she filled it up in about two days. I’ve cleared off the pictures and here are some of the results. There are A LOT of pictures of the TV. There are a lot of blurry pictures of I don’t know what. Some of them turned out pretty well though. She set off making more videos and pictures today since I cleared it off, she loves it. Enjoy.
Alexis had her first school pictures taken in early November. I don’t know how I can possibly decide which sheets to keep.
“God is good. God is great. And we thank Him for our food. Amet.”
I cannot convince her so far that she should say AMEN and not AMET. She doesn’t believe me.
Sophia turns NINE today! This weekend we had some family over to visit and give gifts and eat cake. She had a great time and today she’s at school and Lexi and I will bring cupcakes to the classroom this afternoon. Happy Birthday Sophia! There are photos in her album and I’m trying to figure out now how to cut up the video so it doesn’t take an eternity to upload or watch. I couldn’t cut decide how/where to cut the video..so here’s the whole thing, its long 
A great time was had by all. So much candy. There are pictures in the Family album – in a new halloween 2011 album. Here’s a great video also, of Makaela and Lexi scoring some candy, with running and giggles and fun!
We headed out to Palisades Kepler State Park for some fall family pictures today. Those of you that have digital frames – you’ll see a few on there today. Here’s a sneak at a couple.
Alexis turned four today. She had the best day, first at preschool where she got to wear a crown all day and give pudding cup snacks to her friends. And then she played with her birthday balloons while she waited for birthday festivities after dinner. Daddy brought home McDonalds for dinner and then she opened presents and had Barbie birthday cake. She really had a great day. There will be pictures in her album and at least a couple videos coming here. Thank you everyone for coming for cake and for the gifts. She really had a great time!
Sophie attended the cheerleading clinic again this year and loved it. Only one new cheer, so she knew some of them already which she really liked. This is a picture of her with her friend Brianna. Below is one of the videos, there were alot of girls and I had to move when they came out, so I was fighting for a spot, there was some shoving Her favorite cheer is Razzle Dazzle at the end of this video. Looks like pure chaos, she loved it.

We went to Reader Recognition day at the Kernels stadium this afternoon. Readers that did 1000 hours of reading were invited to come to the game (offered discount tickets) and be recognized for their grreat reading. Sophie took her Kernels autograph pillow and got the players autographs. She also walked in a parade and then we stayed for the game. There was a balloon guy – Papa Balloon making balloon shapes for bunches of kids (for donations only) and we had popcorn and nachos and pop and saw the Kernels win a great game. There are pictures in Sophia’s new Third Grade album.
