Labor Day Cabin Trip 2012

Labor Day 2012 we headed to the cabin to hang out with all of the Cummards.

This trip was filled with babies, laughs, cousins, games, and many memories.

This was my favorite cabin trip yet.

The picture above does not even do it justice.

1st Day of 3rd Grade for Ellie

Summer went by way too fast around here.

But Ellie was so excited to start 3rd grade.

 Ellie & her Cummard cousins/best friends.

Pretty Penny

Crystal had her 4th baby on 6.24.12. She weighed 9 lbs. & 9 oz. & was 22" long! 

HEALTHY BABY.

 She is perfect.

Love this babe so much already.

I love being an aunt.

Random Fun with Cummards

Field Day at their school. 

Crystal & I stayed with Ellie & Jackson's (& Molly's) class.

The 3 of them are in the same 2nd grade class. So lucky.

They had lots of fun together & are very active kids.

Later that day, I had Sloane come over. She was so cute that day. She was totally teasing me. She'd try not to smile ... sometimes she just couldn't help it.

The first Monday of Spring Break, some of us went to the pool at AZ Grande Hotel, The Oasis.

The kids had such a great time together.

We are so lucky to have cousins so close to us.

Cummard's Favorite Things of 2011

 The Cummard girls had our 3rd "FAVORITE THINGS" night. It was lots of fun.

My 3 hints for my gift: -Being warm, -Homemade gifts, &  -ruffles...

 We ate at Pita Jungle (my pick) and then we came back and opened presents.

Here's what we opened:

*Kanoe: Mixer cup, for protein drinks & etc., along with a Ranch packet.

*Crystal: OPI nail polish, Nail filer, & nail clippers for our keychains. 

*Summer: Pepper, salt & pepper shakers, and a lid/cover for warming up food.

*I made ruffle scarfs, & ch. chip cookies.

*Sarah: Homemade hot fudge & a light color of nail polish.

*Syd: Pajama pants.

*Cheryl: Lots of cook books, cooking accessories, & "words".

 Another fun "favorite things". 

So lucky to have the family I have.

(Yes, Sarah has been in Japan awhile. ;))

Christmas Eve 2011

We always spend our Christmas Eve with the Cummard side. 

We start with  yummy meal.

Next we do the NATIVITY.

Ellie was an angel this year.

 Jonnie was proud to be Mary.

Calee made Nash (the dog) participate. ha ha

Hudson was so excited to wear his costume. The donkey, I think.

Then come presents.

Lance's parents hide $20 bills for each adult to find.

You can take a gamble, add your money together & hope to be picked.

SUMMER was the winner this year!

After all the fun, we wait for Santa!
