Saunders Family Pictures

I never got around to posting these pictures. My aunt Julie took these on Halloween day. This is all my family. Brian and his wife Brooke are on the bottom left in brown. Kari and Casey and their 2 kids Emett and Mia are on the top left in Navy blue and white. My Mom and Dad are top center in green. We are in the middle in red. Sheri and Clint and their daughter Eva are bottom center in white. Stacey and Tyler and their 5 kids Cort, Gretel, Trey, Daphne and Pace are on the right in black. Wow my family's sure getting big, I can't wait to see what its like in 10 more years. All 11 grandkids. I love this picture, uncle Tyler was making them laugh so hard.
I needed some updated pictures of the kids for our house, so Julie snapped a few for me. I think they turned out really cute. We had a heck of a time getting Miley to smile, but we finally got one.

New Years at the cabin

Every year after Christmas we go up to my families cabin to celebrate New Years. We eat tons of good food, read, watch movies, play games, snowmobile and go sledding. The best part of sledding is getting pulled up the hill by the snowmobiles. That's the way to do it!Miley loved it. Usually she is scared of everything, but surprised us by loving the snowmobiles and riding in the sled.Me, Miley, Pace and StaceyDax and TreyTroy, Carston, Dad, Miley, Dax, Trey and CortCort and CarstonMiley playing with the babiesMiley dancing with Eva

My Dad had to do a headstand for the game we were playing, I was impressed! Miley, Emett and Pace. I love this picture of Pace he has ketchup on his mouth and if you look close it looks like he's a vampire with blood dripping off his lips. He is the funniest kid ever.All the baby girls Miley, Eva (Sheri's), Daphne (Stacey's) and Mia (Kari's). There is only one other girl cousin and she is 8, so I'm so glad Miley got a bunch more girl cousins to play with.Playing a Trivia game (Boys against Girls)

Happy New Year 2010

Christmas Happenings

The kids in their Christmas church clothes on the Sunday before Christmas.This is Miley's new "Cheese" faceChristmas Eve we always have a party at Troy's Mom's house. Here are the kids opening their presents.The highlight of Christmas this year was giving Troy's mom a puppy. Her husband passed away three years ago and her last child at home is leaving on a mission in January. We didn't want her to be alone, so a bunch of us went in on a shih-tzu puppy. He is so cute. She was so surprised and has totally fallen in love with him. She named him Skooter.

Christmas Eve - leaving cookies for Santa

Christmas Morning (I just realized we didn't get any pictures of them with their stockings)
This jeep looks alot bigger in this picture than it actually is. The naughty boys connected the battery (after we un-connected it and told them not to drive it) and drove it into the corner of the opening to our living room and broke off some chunks of sheet rock. When they got in trouble they both blamed the other one. Dax said "Well Carston connected the battery" and Carston said "Well Dax drove it". They have been grounded from it ever since. We told them maybe they could drive it in the summer.
