Sorry it's been so LONG!!!!!!!

Here's a few blog updates. Sorry I can't write too much now because Carter is trying 236 to help me!! GOTTA GO!!!

Kiddo's Pictures!!!

Ty's first day of Kindergarten!!!

Rockies Game!!

My little nephew Mason made it to the Rockies baseball challenge in Denver. So we all decided to go and make a weekend out of it!!! We went to the Pirates Cove, the Rockies game and just hung out at the motel. It was alot of fun. Our little family went and so did mom and dad, Brian and Amy and thier kids, and Clark and Trudy. We all had a really fun time.

Ty and Mason doing the "crazy horse dance" after the Rockies scored!!

Mason being recognized before the game started....

"A day at the Cabin"

One of my favorite places in the world is our cabin. Growing up we would go there all the time. We would always have such a good time. Dad and Grandpa Claunch would be the cooks, and they would cook the worlds best hamburgers, we would play softball out in the meadow, make our own little golf course and play with woofle balls, swing on the tire swing, play Volleyball, ghost in the graveyard, ride motorcycles, 4 wheelers and the tote gote (not sure how to spell that one) and we would rent movies and watch them at night time only to wake up in the morning with dad and grandpa cooking a big breakfast!!!!

Ty and McKenna by the frying pit.

McKenna swinging on the tire swing. This swing has been there ever since my grandma and grandpa Great bought the cabin!!! 3 generations have been able to swing on it!!!!

Older pictures of the kids.....

So I have seen a few blogs to where they put up pictures of their kids to see how they have changed and also to see if you can see the resemblence in the kids. Now I have to admit Carter is all Claunch, but as I was looking back at some pictures of Ty and McKenna I think he looks alot like them to. I can't believe how much they all have grown......

Ty posing before our cousins wedding. He was the ring boy.

Beep Beep!!

Carter LOVES to ride in his little car. He puts his hands on the wheel like as if he were really driving!!! Than Cooper (mom and dads dog) will come up and get him and he just laughs. It's so much fun now that he is getting older and trying things for the first time!!!

Ty's Birthday Party

Ty blowing out his candles.

This as good as it gets around my house. James baked the cake.. I put the iceing on and McKenna put the sprinkles!!!!

All of us playing the Wii. I think us grown ups had more fun than the kids.... We were playing for the high score on a shooting game. Papa won.

McKenna Viola

OK. So as promised I'm putting up a picture of McKenna. I let her try on her Easter dress the other day, so here she is posing in it. She didn't want to take it off for nothing. She is definately all girl... She is always wearing a dress and either my high heals or her play ones. If she's not wearing a dress than she is most likely "naked" We call her our little streaker. She is always chaging outfits or most of the time she just likes to play around in her "panties". We are sure hoping that she grows out of this stage SOON!!

YUMMY!!!!

Carter is Finally starting to eat his food!!!! YEAH...That means we can save a little bit of money now that we don't have to buy as much formula!!!! He absolutely loves his fruits. We are having a bit harder time with his veggies!! I'm sure the bits of ice cream that grandma gives him doesn't help!!!!! AND by the way I do still have a little girl called McKenna. It seems like I haven't posted about here in a while. So that's my next goal....my next post will be of her. I feel bad but I guess we've been taking lot's more pictures of Carter than of Ty and McKenna. But yes they are all still alive and well. p.s. The last picture I absolutely love....because that's how he eats his food, like a little puppy licking the spoon!!!!

Carter at 6 months!!

Our Carter is becoming quite the big-- little boy!!! He is now weighing in at a WHOMPING 21 pounds!!!! He is almost the size of McKenna!!!!! He is just the happiest little guy around. All he does is smile. So I don't know if it's because of the time change or what BUT for the past 3 nights he has been staying awake until midnight!!!! I love to see him laugh and play BUT at 11:30 at night it's a little ruff!!! But we still love him!!!!

"Nacho Libre"

My kids absolutely love the movie "Nacho Libre" Ever since that movie Ty has been wanting to wrestle. So we put him in kids wrestling at Centauri. He LOVES it. This past weekend was his first meet. Well there was no other kids his age in his weight class so they had him wrestle a 8 year old. The first match Ty go pinned in the first round in about 40 seconds. Ty was sooo cute though because he didn't cry or pout. He kept telling the kid "good job" So they had him wrestle him again. This time Ty got pinned in about 15 seconds. He just stood up when it was done, congratulated the kid and came over to me and James with a BIG smile on his face. They gave him a trophey and he didn't put it down the rest of the day!!! (Infact, it's at home on top of his dresser. Before he goes to bed, he wipes it off with a rag to keep it clean!!!!) We were all so proud of him!!! There were alot of kids there that were in tears, or were really mad when they lost. BUT not Ty. He was just happy to be there.

McKenna's 3rd Birthday!!!

This year McKenna was able to spend her birthday with all of her cousins!!! We celebrated at Brian and Amy's house, we had just got done taking family pictures!!!

Christmas!!

I thought that since it's been awhile since I've posted anything I would just quickly write about Christmas. When I get a chance I will post some pictures!!!
This year for Christmas I got EXACTLY what I wanted. All I wanted for Christmas was for my whole family to be together. It had been 9 years since we had all been together for Christmas.
My big brother Mark and his girlfriend Ricki came from Oklahoma, and my big sister Trisha and her family came from California!!! Ty loved having his big cousing Derrick here. Now McKenna was a different story.......She loved TayTay and Olivia...until......it came time to share her toys at grandma and papa's house. The 3 girls are all one year apart. So right now is a hard time to get along. One minute they would all be hugging and then the next......fighting. It was pretty cute.
WE all had alot of fun playing Rock Band!!! I think Mark gets an award for singing "La Bamba" and the Best Singer award went to by brother-in-law, James, for singing "No sleep till Brooklyn" He added in his own free style. Pretty funny!!!!
The kids all had fun sledding at Brian's house with the guys, while us girls went to Wal-Mart (of course) and then to Chili's.
Mark left back home on Tuesday the 30th. He was supposed to leave on Sunday but poor Ricki got strep throat real bad.
Then Trisha and James left back on Thursday the 1st. I was soo sad, I got really sick on New Years Eve, so I stayed home in bed that day and night, and then the next day. I didn't get a chance to tell everyone good-bye. But I guess that's a good thing. I'm such a boob when it comes time to say good-bye.
So to Mark, Ricki, Trisha, James, Derrick, Kaitlyn, TayTay, and Olivia.......I love you all and miss you all very much!!!! I can't wait till the next time we are all together!!!
