Sophy's Holiday dance recital

Here are some pictures from a few weeks ago when Sophy had her dance recital.  She loves to twirl around in her liatard.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT BETH!!!!

Sophy's first skate!

Sophy's first time ice skating !!

Sophy in Traverse City with the Skeels family.  Although we were't there, Grandma Mary captured the moment.

Sophy was really into Christmas this year.  She left santa claus milk and cookies and carrots for the reindeer.  She really loved everything and enjoyed opening the presents.  Silas & Ayda had a great time too but still are young and don't really know what's going on.  Building traditions each year and sharing them as a family are PRICELESS!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Wishing you a Happy Birthday Mimi!!

Sophy made this for Sam & I for X-mas.

Aunt Emma helped her, and she is very proud of it

Silas loved santa, can't you tell!Sophy & Ayda snuggling on the couch

Are you really ready for school?

Silas & Ayda took a vist to their classroom for the

time last week.  Mr. McCormick also known as the "critter guy" was their showing his animals.  Silas was pretty tame other than pulling the pigeons tail and making feathers fill the room.  He enjoyed sitting in the small chairs and dangeling his legs.

Ayda on the other hand enjoyed climbing on top of the tables and sticking her head in the humidfier and putting small objects in her mouth.  She was lovey with the other students until she got stiff armed by a little girl.  Ayda had a pouty lip and came and sat on my lap.  Are they really ready for school is my question and concern!!?

This is what she opened from Polly, she opened Silas's too and they both loved it.

Busted Twice!

We had to bribe Sophy, she didn't want to get near santa.

Poppie at Red Lobster with Isabella & Sophy before his trip to Florida.












Ayda,Silas, & Sophy sitting in front of the tree.It was a challenge to get them all to sit still and get a picture.

Pele is still being a naughty boy!

        He looks so sweet.  Thanks to Mary and Mark they have taken him in.  We love him to death but he jumps up, gets in the garbage and steals food from the kids.  Although the kids really like him and have fun feeding and teasing him he drives Sam & I crazy.

Ayda taking a nap a few weeks ago.

                                                           How sweet is she!

Holiday dance recital

Sophy had her holiday ballet dance recital last night.  I was part of it so I had to be out there with her so I didn't get to see if she was even on with the other girls.  The funniest part was at the end when she took a bow and lost her balance.  I wish I would have had  some one vido tape this.  These are the priceless moments....Emily took pictures so hopefully I can get them up.

Few of my favorites!

These are a few of my favorite pictures;

Sophy enjoying a slice of orange after her race.

Sophy running her first race two summers ago,

mommy was too BIG to participate but I cheered her on.

Sophy reading the babies a book for the first time.

And boy did she get into it. 

Sophy meeting her brother and sister for the first time

I absolutley love this picture of Sophy,

she is looking at Silas with a serious look.  "I'm a big sister, and you will listen to everything I have to say."

Ayda Lynn crawling

Sick!

All the kids went to the doctors yesterday have acute bronchitis, they are all being treated with medication.  Sophy's cough is horrible, she can barley sleep b/c she is constantly coughing.  Hopefully this medication will kick in.  Ayda's little eyes are running with tears and guppy stuff so she is also on eye drops.   Rest Rest Rest is what they all need!

Sick!

Twins WHAT!!

Well since I didn't mean to put this picture in and can't figure out how to remove it I will rewind alittle.
 A year and half after Sophy Jo was born we wanted to try to have another baby.  Instead of one we got Two.  When we went for the first ultra sound I felt beigger than I did when I was pregnant with Sophy, but not once did it cross my mind that there would be two.  To make a long story short we were BLESSED with two healthy babies in September of 08.  It has been filled with laughter, blessings and fun!
I had ALOT of support from my family...I don't know what I would do without them, probably check myself into a nut house!  Sam has also been great and very supportive.

second day blogging

Hello-I haven't even given anyone my blogg info so they can view this. Silas & Ayda are taking their morning nap, sophy is at school. I am getting reading to make some nut clusters while I have the time. Everyone is doing well just trying to fight these colds. Mimi will be here tomorrow, we can't wait to see her!

Skeels Family

Hi this is my first time blogging. I started this blogg so I can keep my mom in Florida, my sister Beth in Colorado, and my dad in pegg in Florida, and Anna banana is Texas updated on Sophy, Ayda, and Silas. They don't get to see them much so I thought if they want to know what's happening they can go to this site, see pictures and updates. I will try to keep this updated as much as possible. Right now everyone is taking a nap and I am getting ready to wake them up. Daddy will be home soon from school.
