Battle of the Bands at OHS

Tonight was the high school Battle of the Bands competition. It was held at my old high school. I haven't been back to my old high school for years. There were 6 competing bands and one non-competing band. My brother's band, Cobet, won the competition and they get to move on to the Regional competition in one month. I am so excited for them!

My brother and all his fans.

Our little Bat Girl.

I just really like this picture of Madeline. We were at my parent's house and she put on this bat mask and was acting silly with it on.

Are you a Good Witch or a Bad Witch?

This is a new shirt that I recently got and a lot of people have commented on. So, I thought I would post a picture of it. It says "Are you a Good Witch? or a Bad Witch?" I love this shirt; it's so cute. I would say i'm a good witch...at least today.

Goofy Maddy

Madeline was playing with one of her friends today and they were being goofy. They were carrying babies around under their shirts. I just thought I would get a picture of my daughter being goofy.

Artwork

This is a picture of some of the drawings that Madeline has been doing lately. She loves to draw faces and is getting more detailed with her drawings. Now she adds arms, legs, and necks. I love her drawings; they look like aliens. She sure is proud of her artwork (and I am too, of course).

Chucky Cheese

We took Madeline to Chucky Cheese. It's been a while since we've been to Chucky Cheese. When it's winter, you have to find indoor things to do. Madeline had so much fun playing the games and going on the rides. For some reason, she loved to hug the animals when she went on the rides (see the pics). She mostly spent her time in the play area going in the tunnels and on the slides. Madeline got to pick out some fun toys with all the tickets we got (mostly from Andrew and I playing Ski Ball). We had a fun family night!

Our new puppy.

Here is our new puppy named Maddy. We took Madeline out to eat and she got this kids meal box. So we made it into a puppy. Isn't she such a cute puppy?

Madeline reading

This is a video clip of Madeline reading me a book before bedtime. She has recently starting reading some books to us; she can't read the words but she looks at the pictures and tells us what's going on. She does a good job.

Battle of the Bands

My brother's band, Cobet, entered a Battle of the Bands competition. They play every two weeks and it is double elimination. I really enjoy watching his band play. They have gotten really good over the last couple of years. GO COBET!

Our new CTR girl

Madeline moved from Sunbeams to CTR5. She loves her new teachers. The first day of class they got a nametag and CTR logo to color and they all got CTR rings. Madeline loves her ring. She is so excited about her new class; it is so cute.

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Wow, I can't believe it is 2009. We celebrated New Years Eve at our house. Most of my siblings and their families came to stay overnight. We had a steak and coconut shrimp dinner that was wonderful and we played games and watched movies all night. I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year. I realized that I didn't take any pictures of our fun night. Oh well. I hope that everyone has a great 2009!
