Superbowl Madness

We threw together a small gathering for the Superbowl at the last minute. With 6 kids under the age of 7, the girls didn't get to watch much of the game or commercials. Anyway, we all had fun and ate way too much!



Addy wanted to sit by Jackson in the chair to eat her pizza...isn't that sweet??














"Baby Ava" is a hit at our house. Ainsleigh LOVES her. She kept trying to pick her up, giver her a bottle, help her walk. I am glad Ava left our house with unbroken bones!

Sonia and a blue monster....no, that is just sweet Brendan.









Jackson, Addy and Ainsleigh















This is the best picture we got...sorry Sonia!
Brendan, Ava, Jackson, Addy, Ainsleigh and Cooper.

Too much fun on Superbowl Sunday!

At home with daddy

How sweet is this????

Muscle man who seems to be very thin!

Cooper, just chillin in Daddy's chair.












Cooper sitting on the big potty! We haven't gone full force with potty training, but they are both sitting on it at least. They have even gone a few times which is a HUGE deal!

Don't ask...she is now obsessed with Cooper's hat.







Apparently she pulled every one of their washcloths out on this particular day. Taylor said every time he turned around, she had more of them. They mainly served as blankets for her dolls, but they appear to be a mask here.

Still the same day and still in Cooper's hat. She did at least get dressed!

Cooper being silly.

You have to watch her. She loves to take her clothes off, or at least try as you can see in this picture.

Murray State Game and more!

Getting ready to play Elefun again!
















Jackson waiting for dinner and making a stange face.

Ainsleigh and Cooper getting cleaned up for the MSU game.

Loving brothers...

...and siblings!

They had lots of fun at the game and were very good. They stuck it out until the very end!

Not as cozy as the old Racer Arena, but this is much more high tech for sure.

Kristen, Ainsleigh, Mimi and Cooper enjoying the game.

Ainsleigh stood up, clapped and danced along with the Racer Girls during a timeout. Taylor had a worried look on his face!!

Marcus Brown was back in town for the weekend. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame. His number was also retired. He played at Murray when Taylor and I were in school.

The huge scoreboard shows the final score. We won by 2 literally at the last second. A very exciting game!!

Why I don't fold laundry while the babes are awake...

While I was trying to fold laundry, Ainsleigh got undressed and pulled out all of Jackson's socks and attempted to put them on. She then got the socks I had just matched and undid those to try on as well.


















While I was picking up the socks from the picture before, they had moved downstairs and got out my hat and scarf. I could hear them talking and they were putting it on each other. I think Cooper was just an innocent bystander!!!

Little Miss Mischief.





She is a MESS!

More snow fun at the hill!

Day 2 of the snow and ice! 16 neighbors, Jackson and I make the trek to the front of the neighborhood to "the hill". It is where most kids go when we get enough snow to sled. I only fell once going to the hill and Jackson fell once coming back. On the way we got to see a mailbox that someone took out as they slid down the street! It was very icy to say the least.

Later on 30 neighbors went to Pancho's (the local Mexican Restaurant) for some food and fun.








"The Hill"

We made it to the bottom without breaking anything (including the sled!).
