For Christmas Adam got a set of Nerf guns and every since then they have changed how we play everything!! Marc and the boys were playing a Nerf gun version of hide and go seek and decided we needed more space. So, we called another family that has kids the same age and sex as ours and met them up that the church building for NGF (Nerf Gun Fight) It was a blast and we are now going to start a weekly date of NGF!! It is fun for the WHOLE family...that's right parents play too! We have a flag that lights up that we can find in the dark, we play hide and go seek, and the kids love to play against the parents. I'm sure there will be more blogs about this coming soon!!!
Here is a picture of the boys before we began the night! I told them to scare me...the Spence boys did...my boys? not really sure what they were going for :)
The girls enjoyed mixing it up as well! They didn't really stick to the rules, they had their own "Shoot the boys!" Worked for me :)
Saturday we started our 6 week stretch of Basketball!! The boys were really excited! Here is Kate, Krimson, Jude, and Brodie waiting for Adam and Jonathan's first game to start!
Marc is coaching both of the boys teams and they both have orange jerseys! Adam's team is really good and I'm excited to see how they do this season! Adam got lots of steals and was quick on his feet. He scored in all the games today and in the last (short) game he had the only points!
In between games Terry Slawson goes over the scripture for the season with the kids! I love how he always brings us back to what really matters!
We were at Seeker Springs ALL day Saturday (7:30 am till about 2pm). So, Eden got a little tired by the end. Krimson and she did great cheering on the boys and being patient!
We played on the play ground outside during the break between Adam and Jude's games!
Here is Marc talking with Jude's team! Jude is the only player that has played basketball before. Needless to say it will be a hard season. Jude was the only player that scored for his team all day. Marc did a good job being patient and helping with the basics like dribbling and going the right direction! This age always provides LOTS of entertainment!
This Saturday was a fun day at the gym. They had shooting contest, dribbling contest, and running contest. They also had the coaches shoot baskets and if they didn't make all of them their team got to pick out a funny wig for they to wear! Well, as you can see Marc didn't make all of his shots and this is the wig he got to wear! The kids all thought it was really funny (except Adam...he didn't like the girl looking wig). Krimson really loved that it was purple!!
We are looking forward to more games and lots of fun! Go Orange Teams!!! (I think Adam's team is calling themselves the sharks and Jude's team is calling themselves the bobcats!)
Here they are taking off on their MONSTER TRUCK ride!!!
Hang on!!!
Krimson with her first MONSTER TRUCK!! They all had a blast!!
The boys thought they were pretty funny! Adam has Marc's college jersey on and Jude has his high school jersey on!
Jude is pretending to catch a football!! After this they changed to the white jerseys! It was really cute and cool to see them in his jerseys!
Krimson decided to give it a try too, but with the shoulder pads on! That's my girl!!

Eden was hard to catch on film, but you can see the in mirror!
Krimson had enjoyed brushing her hair more now that it's short...
and this face is what she had made all day today when she looks in the mirror/fridge/window (wherever she can see her reflection). I think she told me at least 4 times today that she LOVES her beautiful hair cut!!
Eden making sure there is PLENTY of icing on her cookie!!
Jude dumped his whole personal bowl of M&Ms on one of his cookies!!
Adam made a cookie sandwich!! (he also got just a little on his nose)
Santa's cookies from the kids...starting from the left corner and going clockwise...Jude, Eden, Krimson, and Adam.
Marc reading "The Night Before Christmas"...Eden is ready for bed :)
The 3 older kids put out the cookies, milk, and note for Santa!!
CHRISTMAS morning came about 7:30 (not too bad!) and this was the first thing the kids saw! The drum set from Santa to the boys!!! (Santa spent most of the night before putting this little treasure together...without directions!)
Eden with her Microphone!! The girls had fun "sharing" this!!
The boys playing their new Wii game!! Jude's highlight for sure...Sonic Wii and Sonic DS!!!
Krimson putting some of her Hello Kitty make-up on!! She giggled as she opened all of her gifts! So sweet!!
Eden on her Big special Bear!!! Krimson got a blue one and the girls haven't stopped playing with these new girls!!!
Eden's class had a Pajama Party!!
The Santa came and gave presents to all the kids! Krimson was SO excited! She hoped right up on Santa's lap :)
Eden didn't share Krimson's joy of being on Santa's lap, but she sat there for the picture :) Eden was excited to SEE Santa and LOVED her book from Santa :)
Krimson with her friends Maggie and Alissa and their "Tangled Hair"!!
Adam, Krimson, and I made our first ever popcorn chain! It was fun and they were very proud!
Here is the finished product!!
