Hi

I'm sorry that there have been no blogs lately i have been lazy not to write a blog. it is almost easter and the girls, Kate and Matt are coming to visit. We are going to make our traditional bunny pound cake. We will also go to the Easter service.

Arizona

We just got back from Arizona. We were there visiting Amma and Papa. While we were there we went to the magic shop every time we go we always go to the magic shop. We went out to lunch multiple times. My favorite restaurant was Spanky's it was this diner that was 50's themed. At the magic shop we got 3 new magic tricks and a magic show.Visiting Amma and Papa was so much fun.




P.S. pictures later Victoria

sorry

Sorry there have been no posts lately we been busy with company and stuff. we've had Kate over along with Hannah and Amanda. Dad has been flying and got to fly with his best friend. Sabrina and Sarah got into the dress up stuff and they looked hilarious. Here are some pictures.

Grandma's Visit

We are so happy to have Grandma here for a few days. We are all working on a jigsaw puzzle. Kate and Matthew came Sunday for dinner and to take Sabrina and Sarah home. Monday we (Terry, Victoria, Jenna and Grandma) went to Costco for groceries. We are enjoying visiting with her. Grandma is cheerfully tolerating the chaos which is a constant in our house. We love having her here but wish Granddad could be here too. by Terry

Visits

This weekend we had Sabrina and Sarah over. When they got here the first thing Sabrina said to me was "Where are the Polly Pockets?" And Sarah just screamed "doddy (doggy)"! She says doggy in a weird way, she is so funny. I had the privilege of putting Sarah down for her nap every day. We read the same stories we always do and Sarah laughed and laughed. While I put Sarah down Victoria and Sabrina played cheerleader. The pictures above are of Grandma (Mom) and the girls. Saturday we all went to the mall and the girls rode the Christmas train that Victoria, Andrew and I all rode when we were little. Victoria and I got paid to let mom and the girls play and we went to Claire's. While we were there we saw two girls get their noses and lips pierced. We got Mom's Christmas present *I hope she likes it*.

Autumn colors

Mom took these pictures a couple weeks ago and it was a blast! After this we had a leaf fight. Now it i snowing and freezing and 24 days left until Christmas!

Dog daycare

These are some of the very first pictures of Bella. No more Doggy Daycare.

Thankfully blessed

  Thanksgiving 2008. It was a rather a quiet one with just the five of us-Jim, Terry, Andrew, Victoria and Jenna; and of course Salem and Bella who was a great floor cleaner. 

   I really missed Grandma and Granddad this year. This is the first year in many, many Thanksgivings that Grandma was not here to either make the dinner or give me major advice on it. But the girls were a huge help with the cooking. They are getting to be really good in the kitchen and like to cook and bake.

  Alex is at his crash pad in New York City on standby or maybe flying somewhere.

  Dinner is over and Andrew is practicing being married by taking a nap on the couch after several platefuls of food. We are having pie with some friends at 4 and plan to play some games. Happy Thanksgiving!

Bella in Maryland

Well we took Bella to Kate's house for the first time and we thought we would never see Bella again she "joked" about dog napping her. I'm joking. Sabrina and Sarah loved her along with Kate. Everybody loved Bella. Bella also loved the boat she had a good time standing at the front of the boat. we got her a little blue life jacket from West Marine. She didn't mind the cold one bit.

Dog

Guess what I, VICTORIA ANNABLE GOT A DOG!!!!!!!!! Her name is Bella she is 5 years old, 20 lbs. and a papillion-mix breed. I love her so incredible much she is kind of hyper, but she loves long car rides!! We didn't tell dad about her so when he came home his jaw dropped to the floor. She is black and white and she has the cutest ears and tail. She has the biggest, most adorable eyes and she is the worlds best dog.

Halloween

On Halloween my friend Hannah came over and had a sleepover. Our original plan was to go around the neighborhood (not very far) but mom invited her friend and children over to trick or treat so she wanted to stay home and wait for them. Hannah, Jenna, and I went trick or treating by ourselves. Mom was going to meet up with us later but her friend never came.

We got to go trick or treating by ourselves. We went up our street and then on Middle Road and in the new neighborhood. We got lots of candy!! At our sleepover that night we ate almost all of our candy! I didn't want to but Jenna and Hannah went on ahead and ate it all. We stayed up all night. Hannah fell asleep at 3:00 and Jenna konked out at 4:30 and I didn't go to bed until 5:30.

We had a fun Halloween!!!!!!

My First Ski Trip, by Victoria

When I was 10 I took a ski trip; it was fun I took a Ski Wee class and I went on a lot of slopes and we rented a ski house.
Jenna and I took an awesome Ski Wee class. For one hour we worked on our feet and getting used to our skis, from 9:00 am -11:00 am we went on the bunny slopes. When I first tried to get on the ski lift I fell over. From then on I was always careful getting on and off.
The slopes range from easiest to hardest like this: Green circle, double green circle, triple green circle, blue triangle, double blue triangle, triple blue triangle, black diamond, double black diamond, triple black diamond. I didn't go on any black but I did go on some blue. But my favorite slope was The Salamander, they call it The Salamander because it is really curvy.
Our ski house was huge! The Snelgroves rented it, too. At night we would go into the hot tub. If it was snowing that night it made it better. I mean snowing, bathing suit, cool. right? We would play games it was lots of fun spending time together.
Going skiing was tons of fun! I lovwd Ski Wee, all the sloipes and getting a ski house.

Sports I Enjoy Doing, by Jenna

I love to do certain sports. Some of them include Fencing, tennis, and skiing.
I just recently picked up fencing. It is a fast sport at times. There are not as many rules as some sports but it does have rules. On the first day we fenced I beat everyone in my class.
Tennis is a sport that my dad made us do. Now we enjoy it. Victoria always beats me no matter what, but the important thing is that I have fun.
Skiing is a sport we do mainly in winter. We stay in a house at the ski place. Its fun because there is a hot tub at every house.
I enjoy lots of sports. There are so many sports that I have yet to try.

Ski House

The day after Christmas is going to be awesome! Mom, Dad, Andrew, Jenna, Kate, Matt, Sabrina,Sarah and I are loading up the car and going skiing. I am so excited we got this really cool cabin near the ski place! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!! Jenna and I get the loft!
