Dance Off

Last year Mom and Dad were out for a visit, one night we decided to have a dance off. Who knew Dad and Kelly had such sweet moves.

The Laughs on Michael...again!

I dug up an old video file from November 2006...although the videographer was holding the camera sideways...it's still pretty funny! Michael thinks he's going to scare Kelly as she comes out of the bathroom, but Kinsey had a different plan.

The Lizard

One of Kinsey and Pratrick's favorite things to do is to scare Michael. They love getting a rouse out of him. He's a lot like Carl...he's just so darn fun to mess with.

Happy Birthday Camilla

What a lucky little girl...to celebrate her 7th birthday at Disney World. We Love you Camilla!

Goofy's Scavenger Hunt Surprise for Camilla

Camilla had a nice surprise from Goofy (Thanks to Kinsey). She had a scavenger hunt set up outside the Resort that led her inside to a birthday cake. Then Michael dared her to stick her face in the cake.

Off to Disney for Christmas Break...

Two days after New Year's we were on our way to Disney World. The party of 9 included: Kent, Theresa, Cole, Kinsey, Patrick, Michael, Kim, Courtney, and Camilla. We had a great time. The first couple of days it was a little chilly, but we will take 60 degrees over Indiana's 14 degrees any day. Disney MGM now aka "Hollywood Studios" has Rockin Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror (Camilla went on this...and Kinsey, Kent and Courtney bailed) There was a High School Musical Performance.

They had the Osbourne Family Music to Lights still on... which was amazing.

We stayed at Saratoga Springs Resort, which is close to Downtown Disney. We had never been there before, so that was fun. These are some cool Lego's!

One of the best parts of the trip was going to see Cirque du Soleil. We were on the second row and it was amazing. We recommend everyone to see this.

This is us at Animal Kingdom with "Mt. Everest" in the background. It is an awesome roller coaster!

Our day at Magic Kingdom was Camilla's Special Day(Her Birthday was on the 8th). We entered the park and she received a card saying "Happy Birthday...Let's pick out a Crown!" So, we went to a store and she got to pick out her favorite crown and some jewelry/makeup to get all dolled up. Courtney and I took her into a quiet place and fixed her hair and makeup and turned her into a princess for the day.
She wore a special Birthday Button so everyone in the park said Happy Birthday to her where ever she went. We ended the night watching Tinker Bell fly across; the lights and firework display was really cool. I think she really had a great day.

Every day it was a little warmer and the kids (and big kids) didn't pass up a chance to swim!

Good Memories!

New Years Party Time

The theme for this Christmas and New Years was "Rock Band". Our family has had so much fun playing. We all take turns playing different instruments and singing. (Some of us are better than others...especially the singing part.) And you know how shy our family can be, so it's pretty quiet....yeh right. Here's the girls playing -from left...Kat, Theresa, Kim, Camilla and Jean. Joel was home for Christmas break and hung out with us on New Years. Camilla offered a New Year's Kiss!

We also got to see Aubrey Swinford...sorry Aubrey no picture. Courtney has gotten to be quite the guitarist and Kim and Camilla's choice is usually the drums. Michael's good at it all...even singing when it is Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Sam, Cole and Eli are amazing at playing. It's fun to watch them. Cole plays on the "expert" mode!Kelly and Greg hosted the New Year's Party! Great chocolate fountain!
And here we all are... New Year's 2008
