GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!



I can't begin to tell you about the wild party we had here at our house tonight. We had about fifteen friends and family here cheering on our Colt's. Talk about a crazy game, we were ready to throw in the towel at half time, then the Colt's started to come back and when they finally won it was pure and utter madness! We screamed and yelled for about five minutes after which we all took a lap around the neighborhood chanting "Colt's are going to the Super Bowl"! I'm sure they all hate us, oh well it was worth it. THE COLT'S ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!! Enough said. (Notice the Colt's horseshoe on Alex's back)

Loose Tooth



Camilla said she wanted her tooth out so I grabbed the pliers and yanked er out. She has a high tolerance to pain unlike her dad.

Camilla's 6th Birthday Party


The theme this year was from the "Happy Feet" movie (notice the masks above) we look like penguins don't we? We had a great time watching Camilla open her gifts, she is growing up too fast. What party wouldn't be complete without a pinata?! This brings back memories when we had one for Dad on his birthday a few years back. Needless to say Cole broke it open and Michael almost got whacked several times. It was pretty wild.

Ice Skating Party



It was Camilla's sixth birthday on Monday and the one thing she wanted to do was go ice skating. We all went out to eat at the Old Spaghetti Factory and then hit the ice. Notice the sweet moves by Michael, he thinks he's hot stuff, but we all know better.

New Years Eve


We are not good at the New Year's Eve party thing and especially this year with it being on a Sunday, so we had a pretty quiet night. We went to our neighbors house and played games. Courtney drew this picture to play pin the tail on the donkey with all the little kids. Then we went home and watched the ball drop. Courtney was acting crazy and threw confetti all over the living room. I know we're pretty crazy people!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!

Christmas Morning






This year Christmas seemed very relaxing. I don't know if it was the kids getting a little older or what but, it was so nice. Santa brought the girls their favorite hand held game systems and they each played with those forever. They didn't even look up for probably 45 minutes and then Camilla finally said, "Can we open the other gifts?" So we did and they loved everything. Thank you Curtis, Shandy, Dexter and Mom and Dad Clark, all the gifts were so nice. The girls had such a fun day. Kim fixed a big breakfast and then we just layed around and enjoyed the day. It was a wonderful Christmas.

Alex and the Opossum


We have a killer dog named Alex. He loves to growl and bark at everthing that comes by the house or he sees in the back yard. Christmas Eve we let him out because he was going crazy about something in the back yard. Michael and Patrick were watching him in and it was obvious he had indeed found something. So, they ran out there and here is this Opossum. Michael was trying to get close to it and Patrick went up behind him and yelled and scared Michael so bad he jumped a mile and the opossum hissed at Michael. It was pretty funny. We made our killer dog Alex go inside for fear the opossum might bite him.

The Big Surprise!




On
Christmas Eve Michael & Patrick went and got Melissa (some of you may not know Melissa, who is 10 years old has pretty much lived with Kim & Michael since she was 2 years old). Anyway...they brought her back to our house. Kinsey had made up this scavenger hunt for the girls to do throughout the house. They were blind-folded at the end. Then a big sign was brought out and they took off there blind-folds. It read "You are going to Disney World". It was so exciting to see how excited they were, especially Melissa because she has never been and I don't know when she will have the chance to go again. The explanation for the big surprise was all do to their uncle Kent. He had some money from when he sold Clay's car. Clay wasn't much of a givng person, but he always bought gifts for Courtney and Camilla. I can't explain how much he loved those girls. Anyway, Kent wanted to do something special for the girls from Clay this Christmas, and lets face it...it's been the worst year of our life. So, it was so fun to see such excitement in their little eyes. And of course, Kent did not want to leave Melissa out so he is flying her there as well. Some gift huh! Kent's awesome.

Gift Exchange at Wal-mart



We did something a little different this year to change things up. We decided instead of just drawing names, we would go to Wal-mart, draw a name, and in 5 minutes you had to pick a gift for that person and only spend $20 plus tax. It was really fun. We all had our Christmas pj's on and we looked like total freaks, but we were in Wal-mart...and you always find them there anyway!
