After enjoying family's and friends' blogs over the last several months, we have decided to enter the blogging world. The kids have had fun picking nicknames and backgrounds.  Hopefully we can make this a family project.  

After years of living where we can hear the Disney fireworks, we have finally purchased year passes.  Big exclaimed "now I will know what kids are talking about at school!"  We have gone for a few hours the last few fridays and have had a great time.  

(closing time - everyone was a little tired)

The New Year has also been full of other fun things for the family.  Banana loves animals and is currently talking horseback riding.  She takes after her dad and wants a little farm to raise sheep and goats.  Her biggest complaint about the high school she will attend next year is that it doesn't have a 4H or equestrian program.  Last Friday Banana took a roping class.  She was actually pretty good.  I'm not sure what she will do with this new found skill, but the siblings are having fun filling in as animals . 

French Fry is still loving soccer.  She is currently playing on the Gold All-Star Team.  She also wants me to tell everyone that she is super -awesome.  French Fry loves being in middle school and the after- school "mixers."  She entertains us daily with her "lively" personality.  She is still petitioning daily for a dog.  

Big loves, loves, loves building legos and models.  I am not sure how many hours he has spent doing this over the last few weeks.  He also loves tennis and running.  Whenever we pick up French Fry from soccer, he begs to come and run the track.  He will be starting a track class in two weeks and is very excited.  

 

Princess (she insisted on this nickname - I'm not sure I want to encourage it)  is in Kindergarten and loving every minute of it.  She loves dancing and playing with friends.  She just lost her first tooth and loves showing everyone.
