Mom Surprise
Hi all, we've been busy visiting with Mom this past week. What a wonderful surprise! Mom flew in for a visit and surprised me by delivering pizzas. Here I am running to the door thinking its the pizza guy and she and Clayton were standing at the door holding two pizzas. All I can do was scream...it was soooo funny! Clayton thought it was pretty funny and talked about it all week. Matthew had been working with Kaitlyn on how to say "Oma" but I still had no clue. She's been calling Oma the last few days wondering where she went. We were sad to see her leave. Time sure goes by fast when you're having fun. :-)

Boys, boys, and more boys
Last night Eddie invited 7 of his friends for a slumber party to celebrate his 12th birthday. They've had a great time eating pizza, playing video games and rough playing. I can't see my livingroom floor right now, too many bodies and sleeping bags. Its a busy, loud home here in the Van Dyke household.

Daddy's girl
Last night Kaitlyn was soooo cute! Matthew's had a very busy week at work so he's been coming home after Kaitlyn goes to bed. Well, last night she refused to go to bed at her normal time. She was soooo excited to see Matthew walk through the door. Matthew layed on the floor and Kaitlyn was trying so hard to get comfortable so she tried to sit on his head, lay on his back, anything just to cuddle with him. After a few minutes both Kaitlyn and Matthew decided to go to bed. And the minute she layed with him on the bed, sound asleep she went. Definitely a daddy's girl!

Christmas in Colorado
Happy New Year! We're back from our trip. This year we spent Christmas in Colorado with Matthew's family. We had a wonderful time. Katy and I were able to get away for a chic flick and dinner....that was really nice. The kids loved opening presents, playing together and sledding. Oma and Opa had all nine grandchildren running around all week. Talk about busy. The kids didn't want to go home. Well, its back to the groove we go. Working on putting away Christmas decorations. Can't wait to see everyone again. More photos will be added soon. Enjoy!

Christmas Tree Chopping
Well, its that time of year. On Saturday the guys and I went to a tree farm to chop down our Christmas tree. The girls were home with colds. Clayton said hello to the animals, we found the perfect tree he said, then Clayton, Eddie and Dad got to work cutting it down. Afterwards, we went inside the barn for some hot chocolate to warm up and then went for a hayride before heading home.

One Year Checkup
Well everyone, Kaitlyn has grown so much. She had her one-year checkup and is doing great. She now weighs 20.5 lbs and is 30 1/2 inches tall (90%tile)....wow, she grew 4 inches since her 6 month checkup. No wonder she's outgrown most of her clothes...oh well, guess we have to go shopping. She wasn't very happy getting three shots. Tomorrow daddy gets to take her in for her flu shot....When the pediatrician asked if she was getting around or saying any words, he could not believe all the words that she says and how quickly she walks around....she's definitely advanced for her age....our smart little pumpkin.

Now this is what football's all about!
Well everyone, this is what yesterday's game was all about. Wet, wet, and very wet. It rained so hard yesterday and it was cold and windy. The boys played well in their playoff game but they slid all over the field. It made for a very difficult game, especially since they were unable to feel their hands and they were sooooo cold. There were several turnovers but in the end, Eddie's team won. Eddie was handed the ball and ran it in for a touchdown. He came close to getting tackled several times and we were not sure if he would stay on his feet. He kept looking back and the coaches kept yelling at him to not turn around. After the game, the players and even the coach slid in the mud. At the trophy ceremony last night he got a game ball and is now known by the coaches as "crazy legs". He had a really good time this season (first time playing football) and was so proud of himself. He made a lot of friends and now LOVES football.
