We are the Champions!

Madison's basketball team - the Huskies - won the Championship Game!
They are the CHAMPIONS!!!


Congratulations to the girls who had an amazing 11-1 season!


Thanks to Coach Ray for bringing the girls to a winning season!




First Place Champions!!!

Gina, Sammy, Morgan, Madison, Megan, Brigitte, and Baylee

Woo-Hoo!


CONGRATULATIONS LADY HUSKIES!

They moved on to win the All-Star Game as well!

You win some - you lose some...

Well, we finally recovered from the Steelers loss to the Packers.
There was so much excitement at our house that day...

Kasey Fun

Kasey is our "little bit of fun" wherever we go!

Running errands with the Goo.



Kasey showing off her clean teeth at her last dentist visit!
Also a fun time for her.
(Notice the Steelers jersey - the day after the big win!)


Madison texted me from upstairs saying "Look what I found in my bed..."
Apparently Kasey wanted to play with someone and had to wake her big sister up.

2010 Fun

Here is a look back at some of the fun of 2010...

Of course - one of the biggest events of 2010 was Allison and her role as Small Alice in Alice in Wonderland, Jr.
Allison loved being in the show. This was the first song in the opening scene.

Here she is in full costume...

There was always fun to be found!

Bob and our friend, Tom.
No comment. (Love the wig though!)

Madison, a Big Inflatable Monkey, & Carlye

There were several trips to visit this giant mouse!
(We even dragged Jen to see him when she visited this summer.)

Madison attended several bat mitzvahs and bar mitzvahs this year. She had a blast at these celebrations and now wants to convert so that she can have a huge party!

KC, Daddy, & Madison before her friend's bar mitzvah.


Party Time!
Madison's friend, Lilly, had a great 12th birthday party!
The limo arrived to pick up all of the girls...
Must have been Bieber Mania

KC & Lilly chilling in the limo.

Central Park is always fun - especially when the visit is for a great cause!
Allison, Katie, Madison, Simon, & KC

The ladies and I enjoyed a weekend in Cape May! It was a great way to end the summer and gear up for the school year. (And we left the kiddies at home with the dads!)

Winter came quickly.

We actually got some snow. The kids loved playing in it!

(I actually got the WARMEST boots ever this winter - which I highly recommend. They are Sorel's Joan of Arctic boots, and every woman should own a pair for the winter!)
Simon, Allison, KC, and Madison



KC tubing away.

Allison is always prepared for the snow.

Madison enjoyed the Harlem Wizards Game!

Christmas was a BLAST! Santa was very good to the kids!

Notice the Justin Bieber Doll



Look who Simon and Allison found outside!

Daddy and Kasey ready for the New Year!


Have a Happy New Year!

KC

I was trying to clean out some pictures from my cell phone, and I came across these pictures of Kasey.

This picture was the "after" picture from Kasey's second trip to the ER. Madison was playing with Kasey and lifted her up by pulling on her hands. Well, when Madison pulled - she actually misaligned Kasey's elbow (again).

Since it has happened before, I knew right away from Kasey's face that we had to make a quick trip to the ER. I say "quick" because it literally takes a doctor a nano-second to align everything back up.

She was smiling and happy that she was no longer in pain - and could move her arm again.

Madison did the same thing to Kasey about a year and a half ago. The doctor told everyone then that it is so easy to accidentally cause a lot of unnecessary pain to a toddler.
Poor Madison felt so bad!

After four children - KC is the only one who has ended up at the ER for nurse maid's elbow - twice.

Then there was this picture in my phone - Kasey getting a haircut.
Its actually somewhat comical since she doesn't have much hair.

These are always the best pictures though...

KC is so intense and busy all of the time - that when she gets tired, she just stops and drops. KC will plop down and fall asleep - in any position.


I wish I had that luxury!
