x-mas pics

Mom with her "babies"




Kade got some money!





Todd & Corine

We had a very nice X-mas at Dad's. That's right I said Dad's-see top picture!

As Garrett said- It was a Christmas Miracle!

Kade fit

This is what we get to deal with almost daily. Kade got mad because Garrett got out of the chair. Santa had secretly left presents in the other room. I hope he got to hear this fit. The good thing is that Kade comes out of his little fits pretty quickly.

As far as I know he only does this at home. I think he does it mostly to get his way with his brothers.

HELP ME

These people are loud & crazy! Santa take me away!!!

Burr

We awoke to no heat today---Burrr! My handyman saved the day. The wind had blown out the pilot light. Alfie is fine. He is staying close to his heat lamp.

School pet lizard

Jordan won a contest to bring the pet lizard Alfie home during break. I'm not sure how many entered the contest. So far all is well.

8 days till X-mas!

I have lots of cute wrapped gifts ready for Christmas. They start at $8. I have a poem for the Satin Lips set that I think all women should have. ($18)

Yell if you need help with those last minute gifts!

5th Grade basketball

Garrett is having fun playing basketball. They have had two very exciting games. We think that this is the first of many basketball games.

Guess what Kade is?

Jordan is 13!

Jordan turned 13 on Sunday. He wanted a video graphics card for his computer. I had no idea what he was talking about so I let him pick it out.

We ran into Santa at Walmart.

Josh has a baby!

Here is our little "puppy"- he acts like a Kibler so we put him in the cage!

Josh brought one of his kids to Thanksgiving. His name is Blue. He didn't act like a Kibler!

Survivor- Hemrich style

Kade wanted a whole turkey on the table for Thanksgiving.




The boys wanted to play Survivor with the parts I used for the broth. I guess this is the joy of having boys???

I don't think Garrett ate anything.

Jordan won!

Hemrich's

Pictures from Rob's family Thanksgiving. Some of the Hemrich girls & some of the kids.

Da Bears

Looks like some inappropriate behavior from Goob & Sarah. At least it is with a girl!!!

Guess what I was doing while the boy were watching the game? Working at the concession stand to raise $$ for St. Thomas. I think I'll keep my day job.

Da Bears

Have you ever seen a double comb over? Rob was impressed enough to get a picture.




I wonder who took this picture?

The boys went to watch the Bears beat the Rams today in St. Louis.

Happy Birthday to ME!

My surprise birthday party was a blast!! I think even Rob had a good time.

Saint Kade???

The first graders at St. Thomas dressed up like saints for All Saint's Day. Kade is St. Peter. He is standing by Mitchell Bailey & Eliza Bierman.

Weekend in Chicago

We were close to Chicago this weekend visiting our good friends the Erickson's. We had a great time. We were there 2 years ago for a weekend & plan on going back in the spring. I'm glad the Bears won since we were in the heart of "Bear Country".

Trick or Treat

Here is Jordan's latest project. It is a paper feeder for a seismograph. If you need anymore information you will have to ask him. It is pretty cool. I can't believe that was in his head!

See my table- that is how his room usually looks!!

Crocodile Hunter, Brian Urlacher & Jail Bird

SugarLand

The girls & I had fun Friday at the SugarLand concert in Evansville.

Our Mary Kay director took her "stars" from the unit.

Star student of the week

Kade is star student of the week. I had lunch with him today at St. Thomas. I also read The Three Little Pigs to the class. We always pretend that the boys are the pigs & someday they will move out!

Little Brother

Here is my little brother Josh & the house he is building. In this picture he stopped to say "the big boys are riding my big motorcycle at the house" They did have a helmet on when I got there. Luckily they couldn't get it started!
My dad is really hard to buy gifts for. I am thinking of getting his name put on the grain trucks for him. I just thought of that today. Or I could put Kelly Kelly Kelly on the trucks-Mmmm

My little pilot

Jordan went on an airplane ride today!!! WOW! He had a great time! A big thanks to Cory Wermert & Stan Bahrns. Jordan would like to be an Aerospace Engineer when he grows up. Stan built this plane. That's why it says experimental behind their heads-I HOPE!
