Happy New Year 2015

I will be the epitome of never giving up on something as I attempt to do this blog. I have decided a new angle.  At the end of each month I will calendar a day to blog the events of just the month.  Trying to catch up gives me heartburn, though I have hopes.  For now, start here AGAIN, one day, once a month.  The hundreds of other things begging for my time will just have to wait.  We'll see if I succeed.


We invited some of our favorite guests and friends the Smiths.  We had a great time playing, celebrating and welcoming in the new year.

 Happy New Year with the Smith's.

Watching the ball drop for the big countdown. 

Getting ready to pull the confetti streamers.

Out comes the silly string and noise makers!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

Poor Genene Smith was resting on the couch and became the main
target of the silly string!

Brinn's Talent Strikes again..

Brinn created this painting for her good friend Micheal Rodriguez

And the subtle Star Wars pieces.

Happy Birthday James.  It's #14!

Requested crepe breakfast for the birthday boy and his brothers.

Such a handsome pack!

Presents!  Which comes with the lovely assistants.

The suspense is palpable. :) 

Bryson was so proud when his balloon shot right into the picture,

A very nice fishing pole, a wood model, an electric toothbrush and sweatshirt.  I think he's loved and spoiled.  And worth it! He's a keeper even if he's 14.

James loves the piano guys, orange jello, french bread, suspense books, his kindle.  He loves bowties, baseball, and trivia crack.  He enjoys, history, math and science.  He is a good boy.  He is especially good to his brothers.  He apparently has many onlookers... girls... that drool over him.  

Things I love:  Siblings playing happily together, and getting a Christmas gift right.  We've seen lots of Zoob creations at our house.

The Bryson, The Trev, and the James!  They really do love each other so much.

Zoob creations! Taken at the request of the creators!

And then sometimes you don't need a gift. Trev entertained himself for quite sometime winding the vacuum around and dragging chairs and various other things with him. And even a pic in what we call his "slicks". They've been around since McKay. I'll never be able to get rid of them.
