Our Mini Builders

This morning was so much fun as we headed to Lowe's to build Monster Trucks.

Garrett has taken the bigs before but this was a first for Mommy & Lukey.

There was much excitement and anticipation.

All was going so well as Daddy helped Lukey while Mommy took pictures and helped the bigs with the occasional nail as they could "do it without help!" :-)

Lukey LOVED being able to build.

 Eli had a blast and let me help start the nails on the wheels and help with stickers :-)

Our poor little Alli was doing so great until she hit her finger with a hammer and got a blood blister.  Apparently she has her Mommy's queasiness when it comes to that as she lost all color in her face, was dizzy and felt like she was going to be sick ~ poor thing spent the rest of the build on the ground and even laid down for a bit when we got home.  I was so similar when I got a blood blister (also 8 years old!)

She couldn't even muster a smile for the final picture.  

I have to chuckle that this really was the best we could do for a picture of all three ;-)

Luckily, the rest of day went much better for Alli and all three little fish enjoyed a sunny afternoon of playing outside with friends.  All three are excited for their next build in two weeks!

What Does the Fox Say???

Tonight, Alli and 12 of her buddies performed a dance routine to the song "What Does the Fox Say?" at their school's talent show.  Seriously, it was the Cutest.Thing.Ever.

It doesn't get much more adorable than this sweet elephant!

She loved having her face painted and posing with one of her second grade teachers, Mrs. Tarr.

It was such a fun evening for the whole family and we LOVED seeing all of the kiddos performing!

What a blessing that both of Alli's teachers and their husbands attended the show to cheer on their second grade performers.  One of Alli's classmates did a kick boxing demonstration with her dad.  The boys thought that and the sword fighting routine were the BEST, next to Alli's performance of course.  Lukey also loved the Frozen routine to "The Frozen Heart" done by some 4th grade girls, he turned to me with a huge smile and said, "that's my very favorite song!" Yes, yes it is :-)

We had so much fun seeing our precious girl on stage and we are looking forward to many more years of entertaining talent shows!!!

Highlights of 2014

Since I haven't been the best at keeping up with the blog this year, 

I figured I would do a recap with highlights of our year . . . 

2014 has been a FABULOUS year for the G Fisher Fam!

January 1st, 2014 began with lots of playing . . . 

Then we quickly moved on to the birthday & football celebrations . . . 

March was the month for dates and sports . . . 

April was time for Easter Egg Hunts and conquering the thyroid cancer scare, praise God!

May was a time to play in the sun . . .

June marked the beginning of our fantastic Summer break . . . 

Putting the dock back in the water.

 Ice cream downtown

 Yummy treats and fun things to do.

July was a super fun month spent on vacation . . . 

August continued with tons of fun outside . . . 

Though it was hard to say goodbye to Summer, September brought plenty of fun too . . .

We also celebrated Nikki's ##th Birthday on the 23rd with a fun party at Casper's Pizza Place.  Lots of fun but somehow managed to not take any pictures ~ OOPS! :-)

October was a time to celebrate our little Lukey's birthday, Nikki's Baptism, Eli's soccer skills & Halloween . . . 

 Eli had the BEST time playing soccer for the Sharks this year!  He even dressed Lukey in soccer gear for some of the games and Lukey had fun participating in the warm up exercises :-)

Halloween was so much fun with year!  G and Eli carved a Jack-O-Lantern at Pre-K and the kiddos carved fish pumpkins at home.  Both boys dressed up as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for their class parties, but Eli decided to be a Race Car Driver on Halloween night.  Alli was Kiera the Pop Star from Barbie Princess and the Pop Star (costume made by Mommy).

Highlight of the month was celebrating our little Lukey turning 3!  We had a party at the house the Sunday before his birthday with friends and family but on his actual birthday (October 29th) the G Fisher Fam went bowling (Lukey's choice) and we had a great time.  He made his Mommy so happy by falling asleep in my arms while Daddy read him "Happy Birthday to You"

November was a busy month with very few pictures but we enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving with family and watching our kiddos at school activities . . . 

Eli received the Fruit of the Spirit Award for "Love".  

He shows love for his classmates by offering to share his show & tell or snack when someone forgets to bring theirs and always offers to play with others.  Makes this Mommy super proud!

 Alli was part of the Thank You to Veteran's at her school's Veteran's Day Assembly, attended by Daddy and Ducky Papa.

She also had the part of a Native American during her school Thanksgiving Day assembly.

SUPER CUTE!!!

December, as always, has been a whirlwind of Christmas activities . . . 

All three of the kiddos were precious in their Christmas concerts.

 We had a blast decorating for Christmas!

Tonight, Alli is spending the night with a classmate, the boys are finally in bed after a fun night of pizza and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Mommy & Daddy.

It truly has a been a blessed year for the G Fisher Fam.  This is not to say it has been smooth sailing all the time, but we have come out of the year even stronger than when it began :-)

I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us in 2015!
