This is the first time Grandma Clinger got to meet our 4 kids.



One of our days was nice and warm so we took the kids to Joes Crab Shack and had a early dinner on their deck.





Our Twins Paige & Peyton.




Troy...My Darling Husband!

Mason







Had to take a picture of the proof that is was NICE & WARM for all our family and friends in frigid Michigan.








Peyton was not feeling the picture taking today, so dad had to settle for Mason, Paige and Caleb.











Mason loved the pool.












I am soo sooo glad we spent the extra $$ to have our pool heated, it was so nice and warm and the kids had a blast!

Mom and Paige. So nice to hang up the Winter Coat and Boots and throw on flip flops, capris and tanks!! HURRY UP Summer!!!















Lisa has 2 dogs and the kids just loved them, and the dogs shared the same love for the kids...or maybe for all the food they leave behind!!

I think I used every space possible in our vehicle on the ride down, poor kids had little room..but did so well on the drive.






















My Father-in-law, Troys Grandma and one of our Best Friends all live in the SunShine State. So sice we live in Gloom Doom Michigan we decided to bust out of here and take the raod trip to the Sunshine State.

Goodby Holidays, now the Countdown to Spring Begins!












































































































































































Troy, Mason and Paige waiting for Peyton & Caleb to wake up Christmas Morning.
There is a small part of me that is relieved the Holidays are over. I must say this has been one of the least stressed holidays I have had. The kids were more then thrilled with their gifts and it was great to spend quality time with family. I must say though that living in Michigan all I have now on my mind is "HOW MUCH LONGER TILL SPRING"!!


















I have some catching up to do...but here are some pics from Christmas Morning...Big hit this year was the Wii.
