Christmas 2003

 

Now what do we do?? Todd and Carter with the ultimate K'Nex building set called the "Rippen' Rocket Roller Coaster." Right in the middle of Mommy's living room. oops.

It's Blue the Dog!!! Uncle Aaron and Aunt Brooke came for a visit and brought her along. The kids loved her. They did good taking turns and petting her nicely.

Madison really liked the "puppy," as she calls her.

Look what I got!!

"Here Mom, catch! I love it. This is great. If I know Grandma and Grandpa, there's even more over this way!"

Madison says, see, I found more! Carter says "I think it's clothes."

Taylor, had to put on her new outfit the instant she saw it,
including the NEW tights!
She wanted to wear it to school on gym day - but Mom said no!

Caillou!! Yea!

Look Grandma & Grandpa, I tried out the paints! I call this my "meow nome" picture.
Translation: nome=nose

Come visit to participate in a tournament. So far Mommy's the champ...
