Kijanna

Here are a few things that Kijanna has been doing lately.




She played basketball with the Little Lady Panthers on Saturday mornings. She had lots of fun.






Both girls were in a play at the PAC. They did Cats & Dogs - short versions of Aristocats and 101 Dalmations. Kijanna played the part of Roquefort the Mouse. She was darling. Of course I am biased...

Kali

Here are a couple of things that Kali has been doing lately.


She took her ACT's. Yes in 7th grade. She is part of the Academic Team and Gifted and Talented kids at her school. We laugh and call them the Nerd Herd~

When she got her scores back this month, she was very excited! She did better than some of the High School kids. She can take the SAT's next year if she wants to. And she does.

Tonight they had a choir concert at the Middle School It has been resceduled twice due to bad weather, ice and tornados! She was also the only 7th grader from her school to participate in All State Choir this year. She does not get her singing talent from me - thank goodness!

This is a science project she did. They made a mini golf hole. She had lots of fun putting this together during the days we were stuck home during the ice storm.

Sisters in Tennessee

While the rest of my family was vacationing in Colorado, I went to Tennessee to visit my sister Krista and her family.

We went to eat at the Loveless Cafe, but didn't see anyone famous~ We tried to take pictures of

ourselves.

We also played BINGO! Krista won 50 bucks - oh yeah

10 Days in Colorado

Erek and the girls headed out to Durango Colorado for a trip to see Grandparents and Cousins. They stopped by the girls Ranch between Bayfield and Pagosa. I've always wanted to get a picture of the two of them outside the entrance. Notice their initials on the gate~

Perfect weather for snowboarding. We sure do miss those blue skies. Kentucky has more of a gray/blue sky.

Kali was really excited to see that she is almost as tall as Grandma Aila!

I got a new do!

Cute new haircut this week -Kali took these pictures of me

New Years in Illinois

Went went to Illinois for New Years Eve again this year. We have friends from Colorado - Jesse and Kaelee Horton, that come home for the Holidays to visit their family. They are nice enough to allow us to party with them. Off to Crystals for New Years Eve, we enjoyed lots of yummy food and played games.

Kijanna and Kaelee were excited to play American Girl Dolls together. Notice they have dolls that look like each other - not themselves

Kali, Alyssa and Rebecca had fun hanging out and texting all night.

Everyone had fun playing Rock Band!

Erek and Jesse rock!

Christmas

Wow! I am amazed at the lack of pictures I took this Christmas!~ Bad mom.





Kijanna had a school Christmas program the week before school let out. She had lots of fun learning the songs and singing them with the whole school. Hard to believe there is only a year and a half left of Elementary school left in our family!~







We had some snow! Not as much as all of our family in Utah, Colorado and Oregon, but the girls and Erek still had fun doing our tradition of running through the first snow barefoot. Notice that I did NOT participate. (And that I need a new camera for my birthday....)









The girls did a cookie exchange and caroling at the Church.









We went to see the Nutcracker at the PAC.






Of course the girls got new Christmas PJ's and had fun sprinkling the lawn with reindeer food on Christmas Eve!
