Family Game Night

Avery loves to play games so we designated Fridays as family game night. Avery looks forward to it every week and it has really helped her to understand that you loose some and you win some, but the most important thing is that you have fun. One evening Gran, Papa, Aunt Kat, Uncle Goose and Theresa (Gran and Papa's foreign exchange student) came over and we decided to play a game of Taboo. Avery really wanted to play too, and with a little help from Aunt Kat on the words she couldn't read, she did an awesome job! Avery decided that we should play boys against girls and although we gave them a good run the boys ended up winning! We all had a blast...even Oakley who still has very little patience when it comes to playing games! (He usually only makes it about 5 minutes into family game night before he calls it quits!)

Lakelyn even enjoyed game night while sitting in Gran's lap!

Like I said before...Oaks gets a little board after awhile, especially when we are not playing a kid game! This is a time out to beat up on Daddy for a few minutes! :)

The final score.

I want to come over for game night. We try to play games at home but it's impossible with Chaz around. He just grabs a gamepiece and runs. So Timmy or I have to take Chaz in another room to play while everyone else plays the game. I'm sure it won't be long though until Chaz will be interested in playing. Right???

It is so good to see pics of the entire family around the table playing games. It reminds me of mom and dads house. I love seeing pics of your family. I have been wanting to come over so bad..kids sick. Oh, Lakelyn looks just like Oaks! I can't get over how much she favors him. Lanee and I have started playing Candy Land..we have so much fun togehter.

Cold Days of February

Image
Even though it's cold outside, we still try to have as much fun as we can!  This particular week in February ended with a ton of fun at Great Wolf Lodge.  Jason and I decided that instead of buying the kids more "things" for Christmas, we would buy them experiences.  We hadn't been to Great Wolf since Lakelyn was one.  Avery and Oaks had been talking about going back, and were always telling Lakelyn how much fun it was.  We made a cute little note and wrapped it in a box to give them Christmas morning.  Needless to say, when they opened it, they were super excited.  Might of been the best response ever to a Christmas gift!  Beautiful snowflakes! Isn't God's beauty AMAZING!  My little Elsa watching Frozen on this snowy day.  This costume has been worn more than any other in this house!  Family challenge of who can do a handstand push up.  I lost, but I will get them next time!  lol!  Morning s...

1|52 Looking ahead, with 2017 just a reflection. My hope for 2018 is to simplify my life. Spend more one on one time with each kiddo, take more walks in the woods, sit and talk more, laugh and enjoy each other to the fullest. Oaks and I took a walk to the river today, just the two of us. It was seriously cold, but it was sweet to have some time with him. Cheers to the new year!

February Fun

At one time, February was my least favorite month.  Now I can honestly say it is one of my favorites.  Basketball is winding down, softball is only once a week and baseball, and soccer have yet to start.  Jason isn't crazy busy and we seem to have more time at home together.  These are the moments I cherish.  Again, wrestling is always a favorite activity!  Daddy got the new basketball goal put up and the kids stayed out way past dark to shoot hoops.  These two were glued to a movie.  Lakelyn was so excited to get a bag of M&M's to put in her "M&M Trophy" as she calls it.  Oakley has been wearing these house shoes every night.  Lakelyn was walking her dog! lol! Hanging out in "mine and my sisters" bedroom at Papa and Granny's.  Mom, Uncle Mike, and Oaks are looking at old pictures.  Avery, Lakelyn and Aunt Kat are playing barbies.  This bedroom will forever hold a special ...
