Disney on Ice and a New Niece

Nancy and Greg had their new baby girl, Emery Iokina (My brother thinks he is Polynesian). I think she looks just like their first daughter, Quinn. Maybe it is the same "Why are you looking at me" face she is making.

So fun.

We went to Disney on Ice today with the kids.

They LOVED it!!! They clapped and cheered whenever a new character came out.

Two of Brian's brothers and their families came with us (We missed you, Brenda!)

Afton and Brinlee and my mom came too. (Check out Cheesy Charlee!)

The Barry side! POSERS!

We had a very good time watching the kids laugh and be so excited.

This was such a good Christmas gift for our family. Thanks Brian for not objecting too much and thank you, Santa!

More Cabin Pics

This is a picture of ALL of the Barry grand kids... at least it will be current for a few more months:) We had an ugly sweater contest. Greg won, but Mindy and Treslee's were pretty bad.
Don't Brian and I look classy?

This is Jaxson's favorite thing to watch over and over again... It is pretty funny.

Turn up your volume. It is a little soft.

The most embarrasing sledding video ever.

DON"T LAUGH!!!!!

My bum still hurts!

Funny kids:

While looking out the car window at the snow, Oaklee and Jaxson had this conversation:

Oaklee: Wow, look at the snow. It is so beautiful!

Jaxson: Yeah, and it is handsome, too!

The kids all took a shower and Jaxson got out first. I told him to hurry and dry off and get his underwear on. He told me that after Charlee and Oaklee got out, they were going to snuggle.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We had so much fun celebrating the new year with the Barry's at the cabin!

The kids toasted this really nasty tasting white grape juice. CHEESE!!

The kids loved blowing the horns.

Here is to a great 2010!

Santa Came!!

Last night we had a lovely family dinner.

While the kids were out looking at Christmas lights with GoGo and Grandpa, Santa called to see if he could come over early!

We happily said yes!

Charlee got a Razor Scooter and Three Musketeers Barbie.

She also got lots of clothes and Project and Draw! Jaxson got lots of Buzz and Woody stuff!
He got talking Buzz and Woody. They are very cool.

He was soooooo happy!

Oaklee got a barbie to head that you can do her hair and stuff.

She also got a new winter coat!

Jax got a new coat, too.

I got a Snuggie (Totally embarrassing!). I also got a bunch of new jewelry.

Brian got a new hockey stick and a shake maker.

Oaklee also got a swimming baby. They played with her today in the tub!

Caution: This video contains nudity (I am totally joking)

We had a lovely holiday and it is not even Christmas yet!

What A Dumb Wall!!

The kids are not allowed to eat on the carpet, but heaven forbid they don't watch TV while they eat. Our house has this half wall. It is gross. They spill stuff down it. They eat on it. It is pretty nasty and has to be cleaned almost daily.

This is what I found the other morning!

Christmas Update

Jaxson had his Christmas Part on Wednesday.

Here he is with his teacher, Miss Lorene. Nice Jammies!! I ate lunch with Oaklee and Charlee at school on Friday.

Oaklee ate all of the breading off her Chicken McNugget and said,

"Look Mom, my nugget is naked!"

The girls participated in the school's Christmas program on Tuesday night.

They both did so well. Charlee told us not to wave at her and "If you wave at me, I won't wave back because I am a professional."

Isn't she so pretty!!

Oaklee always cracks me up. She was pretty "Non-Professional" waving at us. She sang great and being short worked out for her because she got to be in the front. He pulled her antlers down like sunglasses and got the laugh she was desiring from the audience.
Jaxson and Andee had a lovely time enjoying the production.

Bye Bye, Andee!!

Andee went home tonight!

I am sure going to miss her, but here are the Top 10 good things about not having a tiny baby:10. No more Diapers (Even Jax is potty trained!)

9. Everyone in my house can tell me WHY they are crying.

8. No more spit up.

7. No more huge diaper bags!

6. Everyone can buckle themselves in seat belts in the car unassisted.

5. No more swings, seats, car seats, high chairs, stuff out all over the house.

4. No More Diapers!!! (Deserves to be in here twice)

3. No more sore back from having an appendage attached to my hip (Andee).

2. Not as much prep work to leave the house.

1. I get to sleep ALL NIGHT!!

Although all of this is great, I will miss the crying, the spitting up, the car seats, the appendage, the getting up at night, the baby stuff all over my house, the prep work, the smiles, the laughing, the eating, the love... I will not miss the diapers, though... that is great!

I will miss you, my sweet Andee. I love you and I am so thankful that you made my life a lot brighter! One of the best 10 weeks of my life!

Andee tried sweet potatoes this morning.

She LOVED them!

Poor Andee!

Andee is the little princess at our house. The kids are constantly doing funny thing to her.

Here is Charlee reading her a book. Andee loves books. She scratches them and tries to turn the pages. She has a gift for getting her socks off ALL the time!!She got pretty upset at church yesterday when she could not get her tights off. hehe

Brian and I woke up on Saturday morning to find that Jaxson had already paid Andee a visit! He dressed Woody in a Santa outfit for the season!
I was doing homework with the girls and this happened to Andee while she was on the floor.

She is SOOO much fun!
