Tubby Time

Classic tubby time pic of Ellen and BT on the last night of our trip to Clovis. Good times.

E & B Bowling

Uncle Mike and I ventured out Black Friday to do a little bowling.  It was Ellen's first time bowling and she really seemed to enjoy it!  She bowled an entire game herself and several of my frames as well.  She was a little skeptical when we first walked into the alley and after the little boy in the lane next to us split his finger wide open when he fell holding a ball I thought things might go horribly wrong.  Fortunately it couldn't have gone any better.

 Ellen scored a sweet pair of rentals!

BT and his big green ball!

Rainy Days

What do to on a rainy day..... how about making paper hats.  Here is Andrew in his paper hat fashioned from a #4 coffee filter, which is big sister decorated for him.

Medication Arsenal

After weeks of colds this has become a staple on the kitchen counter. I think I might have prescription envy as everyone in the family has a prescribed antibiotic except me and the dog.

Christmas is coming!

If any family is considering gifts for Ellen please, please don't get her this.

Halloween Costumes

Been meaning to get these up for a few days now.  Unfortunately, the whole family has been sick, most recently the little guy.  Luckily Ellen, Kathleen and Andrew managed to make it out treat-or-treating with a few neighbor kids on Halloween.

Ellen and Matthew

Earlier in the day during the Children's "Parade".  I use term Parade loosely as it was mostly just a large groups of kids and parents walking through the neighborhood making noise.

Can never have too many Cinderellas.

Poor Andrew didn't carve his pumpkin this year.
