Dad is feeling better - time for a swim!


Papa Jim and Rup


When you take your 8 grandchildren on vacation, you earn a margarita or two!


The kids all loved the little water park in the middle of Busch Gardens


The whole family - and Auri, our honorary member


Mason - completely overstimulated, but soooo very happy


Grooving down to some Irish Tunes


Me and the kids waiting to enter Busch Gardens


It was really amazing to get away with the whole gang. Something I am looking forward to doing more often. The kids were amazing even with the 21 hour drive down, and 15 hour ride back. No issues at all with anyone.

Happy Holi!






















We celebrated the Indian Holiday of Holi and even had the gulaal powder. It absolutely is as messy as it looks, but it was SO worth it. The kids had a blast, and could not believe that this was mom-approved fun. By the end of it, Max had completely stripped down and was pink from head to toe. There is a picture of him streaking down the hallway, but I'll save that for blackmail when he's older :) My friend Amy took the pics, mainly to stay out of the mess - she thinks I'm absolutely insane for allowing this. Visit a> for more information on this fabulously fun holiday.

Rockets and Dances

Madeline and Daddy at the Father - Daughter dance. This year she stuck to him like glue and they danced together all night.

Before the dance

Daddy and Mason on the pond. Waiting for the rocket launch. Dan with his winter beard :)

Playing on the ice - Miranda, Myles, Max, Maddie

Myles has been so excited about these rockets. It's something my dad used to do with me, and I impulsively bought one for him. We've had so much fun putting it together, painting it, getting ready for the launches. A few days after this, Dan decided to use big engines and launch it from our front yard. Shockingly, the rocket flew WAY up, and got carried who knows where. Good thing we have another one to build. Lesson learned by Daddy - you need MORE not Less room with a bigger engine.

Condensed and Delayed Holidays

OK, I let it go way too long. Serious slacker on the blog, so here are the condensed holidays, mostly in pictures. One of the things I love about having a big family is all of the different celebrations to make sure we get to see all of our people. Thanks to blogger, they are all backwards in chronological order:

Grammy and Grampy's house with the cousins. Hensleigh is missing here. We attempt every season to get a decent picture of them all. . . attempt being the key word:
7 of the 8 grandkids

Watching the big sidewalk snowblower! The kids had a blast playing in the snow together. Fort building, shoveling, and snowball fights.

These are from my parents' house, when Jaime, Tom, and Fin got home. It doesn't feel like Christmas until they are with us:
Myles and Austin playing Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots

Fin Lovin' the new wheels!

These are from the Finley Christmas held every year at Aunt Darcy's. Yankee swap with recycled gifts, great food, and great company.
Mom, Aunt Karen and Uncle Will. Shockingly, my Mom is gambling ;)


Drew, Aunt Sal, Dan, Mason, and Uncle Dan

Christmas Morning, at our house! Maddie was the first one up, but not by much.
Maddie with her Red and Green stripes in her hair.


Myles finally got some Bakugans. I still don't understand them.


Max Rup with his fancy hat and Buzz Lightyear T-shirt that he would like to wear everyday.


Mason rocking out on Maddie's drum pads.


Madeline reading Christmas stories to two sleepy boys. She looks way too grown up in this one.


Mason LOVED the nativity set this year.
My parents bought us all tickets to the Polar Express. The kids absolutely loved it, and I'm pretty sure it will be a new tradition.
Maddie and Auri with their bells.

The Labontes. Max looks exhausted!

The annual trek to get a great tree:
With 4 kids it was hard to get them to agree. They would have walked around forever.


Daddy's shadow and big helper.
We had a fabulous holiday this year. There was no worrying about whether I had to work or not, no rushing back for a night shift, and we enjoyed the whole week together.
