He is almost here

Since we had Riley 11+ years ago we have always wanted another baby boy....don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my 3 little girls, but we are so excited to have Nixon and can't wait until he gets here. We saw Dr. Beck for a 4D ultrasound today and this is our little man, 7 weeks and counting and he is currently 4lbs 2 oz. We can't wait to meet you Nixon Nate Bond. Look at his cute little face, already looks like a bond :-)

Beiber Fever

Paige turned double digits this year and after a long debate of what to do for her birthday she decided on Beiber Fever! She took a few friends and of course her sister to see "Never say Never"..... and I have to admit it was pretty stinking fun and what a great story! Top on her list this year was a pillow pet, she got the dolphin and she couldn't be happier. We love you paiger...10 going on 20! Paige has a huge personality, she always knows exactly what she wants and rarely settles for anything less!

Sadie's 3rd birthday party!

Sadie and all her friends



I love opening presents


The backyard playground

Cupcakes and the bouncer!

Sadie has a playgroup once a week so we invited all her playgroup friends and a few others over for a birthday party all of her own while the big kids were at school....we got a bouncer and since Mikey Mouse Clubhouse is her favorite show theses days we had a Mikey themed party! It was so fun, we had mickey mouse ears for lunch, yummy cup cakes and more fun than should be allowed!

Snowboarding and the cabin

Its official my 11-year-old is a better snowboarder than me...I need to quit having kids so I can step up my game....way to go Riley, you are the bomb! (is it still cool to say that?)

Hayley on her way down the bunny hill

The little kids who didn't get to snowboard

Riley riding the rail

Paige deciding if this is really worth all the work :-)...thats my girl!

The Bonds invaded the Wright's cabin again this year for a 5 days of sledding, snowboarding and eating! Since I am pregnant with baby #5 Steph, Dana and I stayed home with babies and played in the snow at the cabin and the dads and the big kids snowboarded 2 of the days and we the days we build a make-shift sled hill/snowboard jump at the cabin the other days. It was super fun and relaxing, just what we all needed. We ate yummy food all day every day, and played scum and I beat a couple kids in boogle...yes I love to play boggle

Love my new camera

So for Christmas we got a new camera and I absolutely love it, it took my about 3 weeks before I actually took 1 picture, because I do not have the greatest history with cameras, but Ryan informed me he bought insurance that no matter what I do to it they will replace it, I started snapping pictures....Sadie wants to be like the big girls so much, she was trying to wear one of Paige's basketball headbands, is there anything cuter than that? And my little baby boy is becoming a man before my eyes....

Basketball/soccer

I absolutely love this time of year...super busy, but what else would we be doing? Well maybe I can think of a few things like sleeping in :-) Anyway currently Paige is playing WHAM basketball with 2 practices a week and Saturday games, Hayley is playing Arsenal soccer with 2 practices a week and games every Saturday, Riley is playing for the Grinders club baseball team with way to many practices and games and Sadie is taking a combo tap/ballet class....so our weeks are pretty busy when you add in birthday parties, activity days, scouts, and all the other miscellaneous things that come up, but honestly I wouldn't trade it for a second, we kind of have a routine....we either split up if we have games at the same time and then meet for lunch later or we call caravan from game to game eating lunch when we have time.

Paige is a defensive diva...she will get a rebound like no one who have ever seen, sometimes she ends up with a foul but we love her aggressiveness! You are awesome, keep up the good work The "Red Nijas" had a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, so fun.

This is Hayley's 4 season with Arsenal soccer and this was the season she stepped it up! The first couple games Ryan tried to bribe her with by offering her different things if she scored a goal (Justin Beiber Poster, $ for shopping, 1 week of getting the family itouch) needless to say, that's all it took, first game 3 goals and she never looked back. She was a goal scoring chick. With are crazy schedule every Saturday, on her last game I accidentally wrote down the wrong time and we showed up just as the game was getting over and I am pretty sure I got the worst mom award, she was devastated and I felt horrible but there was nothing I could say to make it up to her.

Dirt field

Riley built a jump at the dirt field this week on winter break with some friends....this kid has way to much energy. He loaded up my bike trailer with tubs of water, shovels and other tools and built a sweet jump and thankfully no trips to the emergency room!
