Zip Line in The Yard

Jim...and I am not sure if he meant to do this pose or not?

Mom...

Spencer looking like he is holding on for dear life

Elijah

Noah

When we went to Warrensburg for Thanksgiving, my Aunt Janice's friend graciously let us stay in their home while they were in Oklahoma for the holiday. It was a huge home with a newly remodeled kitchen, 2 dogs, a lake and a zip line...yes a zip line. On Friday, before we all came home, the Haun's and the Potter's decided to have themselves a good old time and ride the line for a while. Seriously, so much fun...so I got the worse wedgie ever known to man but still, it was fun!

Thanksgiving Pic's

my honey Pots...lol

Lori and Dan

Yes...the Omaha air did make me grow, why do you ask?

me and Mom

We ended up spending Thanksgiving in Missouri with my sister Lori and her family, my Mom who flew in from Sacramento, my Aunt Janice and Uncle Bruce (wwbpd...sorry that is an inside joke) and three of their 5 sons. We were in Warrensburg MO which is about an hour outside of Kansas City...I am not really sure if we were south, east or west of KC because I was completely lost the entire time we were there. But we had a blast...we ate a ton, played some killer (literally killer) dodgeball and had an overall great time.

Elijah...the 9 Year Old

Jammin on his new blue guitar...Jim is teaching him Blackbird

Elijah turned 9 years old on November 23, 2010 so I thought I would write 9 things I love about Elijah.

1. He has the softest hair...it may stink from time to time (well he is a boy what do you expect) but I love to play with it and I love that how in the winter it is brown and in the summer it is blond!

2. He has the driest humor and can make us all crack up with his witty comments and his 'crazy face'.

3. He is the most inquisitive child I have ever met and I am pretty sure that in the next 2 years he will be smarter than I could ever hope to be.

4. He is an amazing artist and I can't wait to see his work in a museum one day.

5. He writes the funniest stories and his teacher always tells me that whenever he reads his stories to the class they are always laughing and cracking up.

6. He is rather musical and wouldn't be surprised to see in print and lights "Elijah Potter..ROCK STAR"

7. He loves his brothers...no matter what he tells you...he does.

8. He is a rather smooth with the ladies...just ask him to sing...trust me, they will swoon someday.

9. He gives the best hugs.

Pictures With The Potter Boys

Merry Christmas...from the Potters

All I wanted was a nice picture of the boys for our Christmas card...that's it! Well, needless to say, 25 pictures later, tears (my part), yelling (my part), and laughing (the boys part), we got one good picture...so here it is.

The Fab Potter Guitar Players

For those who may not know, Jim loves to play the guitar and in the last two years he really hasn't found the time to play. However, to help with the stress of law school and being married to a highly spirited wife (yes, I just called my self highly spirited), he has to find some sort of stress relief so he has turned to his guitar. The boys think it is so cool that there dad plays the guitar, was in a band and at one time in his life had a mohawk. Luckily for me, they just want to play the guitar like him...let's just hope they don't mimic his haircuts!

Halloween...Yes it HAS BEEN THAT LONG

The scary group...long gone are the days of my pooh bears, dogs and other cute and cuddly things for Halloween

Ninja...comin' to get ya...well at least your candy

Death...DEATH...death by candy

Headless but not candy-less

Because I have like 50 posts to post and like 60 seconds to do it, I am going to make these short, sweet and to the point...just like how I like everything...except for shopping! But here are the kids in their Halloween outfits. We had awesome weather Saturday for trick or treating...yes we went Saturday...our non-Mormon neighbors were so confused, it was rather funny. However Noah insisted on sitting outside and handing out candy on Sunday. However, I really only had enough for Saturday so Noah, being the sweet and gentle spirit he is, grabbed his candy and dumped it in the candy bowl and handed out his candy that he got the night before. I must admit, this really melted my heart...BTW, I just dumped about 2 or 3 pounds of candy in the dumpster...the kids had finally had enough, after about a month.
