Gingerbread house

I know this is late, but I wanted to post my gingerbread house that I did this year. It is one of my favorites that I have done, I love making these we always get together at my mom's the friday after Thanksgiving (black friday) to make them. My mom makes all the icing and keeps us all going throughout the day. I got a couple of new ideas this year thanks to pinterest, the smarties shingles and the chocolate door. A couple of days before we make these, me and Mindy and Becky all got together and made the wreaths (we used the bottom of a red solo cup), trees (made from a sugar cone) and the bushes (made from snickers and gumdrops). It takes me all day, but I love it, so much fun for me. I started at about 10 am, and finished around 4 pm.

This is Abbey's cute house

More of mine

Baseball and Soccer

It has been fun going to the kids games...they sure have been keeping us busy, but it is so much fun. Abbey caught the ball between her legs

Hayley just bounced the ball off of her head

Wyatt has been doing so good this year at pitching, it's fun seeing them improve every year

Prom

Emily and Mitchell...Emily looked so BEAUTIFUL.

Wrestling Champion

Wyatt came home from school on Tuesday and said his arm was sore, apperantly there was an arm wrestling contest in Wyatt's class, Wyatt won his whole class, no wonder his arm was sore.
The only bad thing about it was he had baseball tryouts that night.

TEENAGERS

Hayley was having one of her pitty party teenage moments today, and this is the result. She would go down in her room and come up with a picture, and just kept doing it...
This picture was for me and it says "I hate my kids" and she claims she didn't mean to make me look like I was flipping the finger-hmmm
This one was for Bret it says "I hate my kids" "I love my wife"

This one was for Emily "Wish I were an only child" "I love mommy"

This one was for Wyatt "pass the cheese its" she has him sitting on the couch playing the xbox.

This one was for Abbey "Perfect Angel"

She even drew one for the dog "The GREATEST dog"

She drew this one for her, she thinks she is fat, she wrote "fat lard" My Hayley is so beautiful and this makes me sad that she thinks this.

This was the last one she drew, it is her and Emily standing by each other, Hayley has been bragging that she is taller than Emily, Emily disagree's. Hayley wrote on this one "I'm skinny at heart"

She was not as upset after drawing these and making us all laugh...I LOVE MY HAYLEY, she is always making us laugh.
