Adam and Joel, the night that Joshua had his sleep over. You can see Joel's bruise he got from falling off one of Joshua's toys. I was so scared when it happened but it ended up being pretty minor.

New Years Celebration!

Joel, checking out Annabelle's new bag from Aunt Jenny and Uncle Shane for Christmas. 

Love this picture of the kids. Joshua looking at Daddy's camera, the rest looking at Mark's camera. Cute! 

Mark and his new electric guitar he bought new years eve. Right on Mark! 

Stephanie using her dad's new headphones for his brand new electric guitar.
Happy birthday Steph!!! as I am writing this an hour before midnight coming up to your birthday. See you soon!!! 

Joel showing off for the camera. 

Here is a nice shot of the family, minus some of the kids, sharing in bringing in a great Newyear. 

Adam, Mark and Louise, the last 3 standing in our Newyears game of Texas Hold'em 

Louise, rightfully proud of her winnings thus far. This was quite the poker game with the showdown between Adam and her at the end. I am sure you can tell... Louise won!!! 

Adam, the look says it all! 

About 1:00am on Newyears day. Just getting ready to round up the kids to head home. What a great way to bring in the new year! 

Adam's mom's dog, Foxy. 

December 29th- What a blessed day!!!!!!!

Went to watch kid's hockey at the arena on December 29th. Some kids came around selling 50/50 draw tickets. I don't gamble anymore but wanted to contribute and help the kids with their sales. Almost forgot to check the ticket on the way out. There was the matching stub number!! I won!!! $47.50. My day only got better from there on. I truly love those out-of-the-blue blessings that you don't expect.

Here's the whole famm damily using our self timer on our camera before we head out for a fun filled evening of pizza and time with my beautiful mother and sister.

Joel gives a standard child's reaction to lemon. Predictable but ooohhh so cute!! 

Yes, this pizza was as good as it looked. We all went to Pizza Hut and had a great time. Later we went to mom's as Jenny was in town. We all played cards till about 1am. This was a truly blessed day. 

Jenny and Joshua 

Annabelle. Isn't it cute how most kids see the world through such rose colored glasses. 

Mom, Joshua and Joel. 

Jenny and Annabelle. 

I'm not too sure if this look meant a good or bad hand but it sure is some kind of reaction hey. Cute 

Mid-game snuggles are always appreciated. 

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to run and my ma is pretty good at knowing the cards. Jenny, mom, Charlene and I had a lot of fun playing Cuthroat (very similar to hearts but trump varies, not always hearts) 

Jenny and Joel. You can see Joel was enjoying some popsicles.  

Nanny gave us all popsicles. I thought it was rather funny that I got this two sticked popsicle. Gave it to Joshua who thought it was pretty cool.
