I finished a race!!

So I needed a goal and decided to run in th 10k Christmas Race down town....it was uphill in the Highlands and then went back behind Camels Back and then around downtown. I thought I was going to die a couple of times going up the hill....but I came in at 1 hour...which was better than I thought....next goal Robie!! Oh yeah...for all of you who I asked..I got the bangs...they look better when I have not just ran for an hour!!
I told Troy to come at 11:30 because I thought it was going to take me a lot longer...they missed me coming into the finish line...but better late then never..
Here are the kids playing around at the Christmas Tree downtown. As you can see Marley got a haircut....she threw a brush at me and said "NO, NO, NO!!" So she got her hair chopped off :)
It snowed!!! Here are our Snowmen!!

We are sooo talented!!! Merry Christmas!! Check us out!!

Avery's Halftime Debut

If Marley has her blankie and thumb she is doin fine...I ended up buying two of those blankets so I couls wash one and she'd still have it
Eagle Dance Team had a little dance clinic for kids....Avery was is heaven and in her own...she's been waiting to dance on that floor since she was born and being at all those practices in moms tummy!!!
Front and Center...that's my girl!! maybe more off center!!

If you notice the ponytail and headband....again her own creation!!!

Still More

Avery is a sweet little girl that is becoming a big help.....when she wants too..she is trying to be good for Santa!!!
Even though Troy doesn't need to celebrate Thanksgiving since he is Canadien....he is a good sport.....this was the picture he drew for the coloring contest
We don't really ever have our picture together....here we are at Breakfast with Santa
Marley Loves Grandpa!! Grandpa's funny face
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!! I still cannot believe it is Christmas!!

It's been awhile!!!

It's been awhile!! I am sorry...I need to take pictures more often..Marley loves helping me do laundry.....or just dumping all the folded clothes out so she can get in the basket.
Avery is becoming a fashion queen......our outfits are a little scary, which makes mom very nervous when we go out in public....i always start conversations with "she dressed herself today"!!
Making muffins...one of our favorite things to do on weekend mornings
Thanksgiving Day....Pin the gobble on the turkey

This is Marley's new funny face.....she has many more but this is her new one

Rachel is OLD

Today I actually had to think about how old I am turning....I could not remember!! I didn't remember if I was 32 and turning 33....I am 32..SCARY!! I got the best present ever from Troy...I came home from school and the house had been cleaned!!! To actually have our house clean all at once instead of one room...it was heaven!!! We had dinner the night before at my parents house and the girls frosted the cake...i think it was more eating the frosting than actually putting it on the cake. Marley is now having to do everything that Avery is.....she cannot be left out!!

Working in the Yard

Troy is our outside man, he has done a really great job landscaping and taking care of the yard. He planted a great garden this past summer until I ruined it by spraying a huge spider with some sort of chemical...anything to kill the thing :)

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE EDWARDS FAMILY...our life is crazy and chaotic, but we would not have it any other way!!

Halloween

Avery has been ready for Halloween since September when Grandma and Grand pa bought her the costume!! She has been counting down the days. Marley was a flower and started to understand that when you ring the door bell you get candy...she was all over that and ran to each house. We go down to my parents house because they actually give the kids presents and full size candy bars....she doesn't know what it is like just to get a little sweet tart candy at a house...she now expects presents!!!

What am I doing??

This is new for me!!! But i figure I need to start being better about posting what our family is doing!! Soo, bare with me I am learning. I am starting to have too many family and friends going to different places, I figure this will be a great thing to have to connect with eachother!!!
