The Searle Family

Last Monday was Sierra's 4th Birthday! We didn't have her party until Tuesday night though, because we thought it would be fun to drive to Heber and take the kids on the Polar Express. It was a quick trip being that we left at about 4:00 p.m. and got home about mid-night! The kids had so much fun. We got the kids dressed up in their jammies so they could really enjoy the whole experience. The entire train car even sang Happy Birthday to Sierra, which she wasn't too thrilled about. Santa and Mrs. Clause visited the kids and everyone sang Christmas carols with the elves. It was a lot of fun. Here are some pics of the train and of Sierra's party.


Here is Sierra and her presents.

All the kids got to go up and sing Christmas carols!

This was when they were reading The Polar Express. They give everyone on the train a book and let them follow along!

Family Pic!

For Thanksgiving we went to Casper to spend the holiday with my grandparents who live there. While we were there we took the kids to visit Santa at the mall. Sierra could not wait! However, when we got there and it was finally their turn Madison and Sierra wanted nothing to do with him. So, we had to get a picture with mom and all the kids around me instead of Santa. Go Figure! :)
If you click on the picture you'll get a better understanding! Madison's face says it all! She was so thrilled to be there. He He.

Here are our new family pics. Tiffany Morton took them and she did a fabulous job. I am really impressed with them. Can you believe how big our kids are getting! We can't! Carter is already 5 months old. Time is sure flying by so fast; especially when you have four kids!

Tonight we went cosmic bowling at the bowling alley. We had so much fun. They turn off the lights, turn on the disco lights and crank the music. The girls absolutely loved it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAGE!

Gage turned 8 years old this past Wednesday. We can not believe it! It seems like just yesterday he was Carter's age. He is growing up so fast and is absolutely getting smarter and smarter everyday. We love him so much! He is the little joker in our family and is always keeping us on our toes. Happy 8th Birthday Son, We love you!

We celebrated his family party on Wednesday (his birthday), but we had his friend party on Saturday at the Bowling Alley! All the kids had a blast. Gage's favorite past time recently is bowling. He even talked his mom and dad into buying themselves bowling balls so we can go bowling with him.

Here are a few pics from his parties!
