Basketball 2012


Not the best photo, but Noah is in the red jersey. He loves basketball almost as much as he loves soccer. It was so fun watching him play this season!

Sibling Love…


Maya is like Milo's second little mom…

Milo's Crazy Hair


Crazy hair while playing the piano! Milo loves sitting at the piano and experimenting…he's actually pretty good, too.

Milo is our little guinea pig…we love do funny things with his hair. He's such a little cutie!

Gingerbread Village 2011



We try to use candy that nobody actually wants to eat, but the M&Ms were a little to tempting for little hands.

We always make some sort of gingerbread house from scratch every year. This year we decided to make a gingerbread village.

A few little details like using hard candy for "stained glass" windows was new for us.


Licorice roof and a gum roof…just trying different things every year!



Reading!


Milo's favorite toys: Books!

Christmas 2011!






Christmas is maybe our favorite time of the year…well, at least for the kids and myself. Dan puts on a good face…most of the time. This year was really fun because Milo was old enough to sort of know what was going on. Of course, after opening one present, he was set. The other kids kept saying, "Milo, you have more presents," but he wasn't interested. Christmas day is a family day even and even though we live so far away from our extended family, we cherish a leisurely day with just us.

Milo at the Apple Orchard.


Sleepy Milo

Method actor-being a lifeless skeleton. He's pretty good at it!


I love a sleeping baby!

Crazy Hair Day for Soccer Camp

Noah won Best Crazy Hair for his age group at Soccer camp! It was also dyed with orange, red, and white stripes. Talk about crazy!

Field Day 2011

Not the same kind of Field Day that Dan and I remember…

Attic Fort Summer 2011

My kids love to build forts! This is the biggest one they've built yet.


Pretty impressive with about 5 rooms in the fort.

Lilltle Milo 7 months old and growing too fast…

Future basketball player?

He definitely loves the piano, so maybe a musician?

Daddy and Baby

I loved walking in and seeing this…so sweet!

Maya's 11th Birthday!!

Maya's 11th B-Day party! The girls went to see Rio, then to Cold Stone for ice cream cake, and finally home for presents and a slumber party. It was tons of fun!
All the girls!
Maya's little family party on her actual birthday, May 18th. She wanted crêpes for her treat, yum!

Noah's 7th Birthday!


Noah's 7th B-Day party at the AU Rec Center. They had fun swimming, climbing the climbing wall, and playing basketball!

Oh, yeah, and they had some ice cream cake!

Noah on his actual birthday, May 15th. The kids get their family gifts and a treat on their actual birthday. The party with friends is later. Noah wanted Monkey Bread for his treat, but it was still warm and the candles melted…it was still tasty, though!

Milo Inc.

Milo loves his exersaucer and always acts so busy and serious when in it. So, we call it his job and made a name plate and other fun stuff for him.
His hat says: Milo McDonald-President, Founder, and CEO of Milo Inc.

More Soccer!

The boys in action!
The team: Ashland United (Kayin and Noah are at the right front side)

Noah!

Soccer!

Blogging Anew

Many have requested new photos of the kids, so we thought we'd give the ol' blog another try. We'll see how it goes…
