Hallelujah!!!

It's been almost 4 months since my last post.
I could say I've been too busy...but so has everyone, so no
excuses!

This post is not particularly in order of events.
It's mostly pictures of the events that have happened since February.
So enjoy!

Cullan got his appliance for his teeth a few days ago. I wanted to document how they look now to compare them with what they will look like when it's over.
Hopefully a lot better. Love you Cul, but your teeth are a disaster!




Braden & Kaylee

I got to watch these cute kiddies for a few hours. We made cupcakes and played outside.
They are a hoot.
Thanks Stacey for letting me have them.

What a heart stopper this one will be!

Kaylee helping stir the batter.

Braden then proceeded to take the camera and take some pictures of his own.

Thanks Braden!!

My birthday dinner-Icecream cake!

The plane ride home. All tuckered out!!

Me & my 3 best friends!

We miss Judy, who got released a few weeks ago.

Conference weekend Kristin, Mike & family came to visit. We got together with our old friend Liz for dinner Saturday night. We had a blast!

Philippa came from Sweden to spend 10 days with us.

She & Lauren had a blast.

We took her to Temple Square in Salt Lake

Happy Birthday Nelson!

Nelson turned 11 yesterday!

We had his Parent/Teacher conference yesterday also. He loves his teacher Mrs. Kaylor and loves being in a 5th/6th grade split class.

His teacher told us that he is the perfect student; loves to learn, works hard, helps others in the class, is very smart in every subject and is nice to everyone.


Nelson has a great personality. He's not easily embarrassed, loves to joke around, likes to be the center of everything, but also likes to see everyone else do well.

He is playing indoor soccer and he's the goalie. He is awesome to watch. He can stop almost anything and is not afraid of the ball.

Monday night we took him bowling at Fat Cats.
Paul, Laura, Parker & Autumn met us there.
We ate Costa Vida and had a great time!

Parker was scared to bowl at first but after Paul showed him what to do, he quickly got the hang of it.




Nelson got 'The tale of Despereaux' from Paul & Laura for his birthday. He has been big into reading lately and always has a book in hand.

Yesterday on his Birthday I took him and his friends to lunch at 'Pizza Factory'.

What was I thinking???
8 boys!

They really were well behaved though. We even had an older lady stop on her way out and tell me what well behaved young men I had with me!
What a compliment.

A BUNNY!!!

Cullan has been wanting a bunny for awhile now. He was hoping for his birthday in June he could get one; so I have been looking.



Well I found one; and I had to get it right away...and the best part was, it was free!
So Nelson got a Bunny for his birthday...hehe


She is so cute and just loves to explore the house. Her favorite hiding spot is behind the TV.

The boys have not come up with a name yet though. They have spouted a few out like; freebird, thumper, jumper, fluffy...but nothing seems to stick yet.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think we'll keep her though.....unless we decide we'd like some Rabbit stew!!! hehe

Christmas

This is a really late post but I still wanted to give an update on Christmas.
We went to Ca. this year and had a blast. My whole family was there except Angie and John & families. We missed them!


We spent our time going caroling, making food, EATING food, going to the L.A. Zoo, Castle Park, having baby showers for Trena and Stella and playing the Helicopter game.

The Great Dalmuti became our new favorite game. Much to my chagrin, we stayed up late every night playing it. I love the game...just not staying up late!



If you didn't receive a Christmas card from us...here it is!

Christmas at the Greenwoods

Ron & his Brother Keith at the Greenwood family party.

I think this picture is great...they both have the same smile and if you know the Greenwood boys..all 9 of them look eerily similar.

Andrew & Trena chillin at the house.

Ron, Paul, Andrew, Mark

& Michael.

Wednesday night the 'boys' went to play basketball at the church.

All the cousins were loving Isabella's new laptop.

Here we are getting ready to go out caroling; the kids favorite part.

Stella & Trena's baby shower at Olive Garden

Yep, The Great Dalmuti....here we are playing it.

And here is the internet Cafe.


There were 5 laptops and at any given time, they were ALL taken!

We finally painted!



We have lived in our house for 12 years and finally painted the family room on Saturday!


We decided at about 3 in the afternoon and got it all cleaned, taped and painted by 9 that night...I was exhausted.


I think it looks great.
Now it will match our new clock from Keith & Tamara-which we LOVE!
