Our Bedtime Tradition.

Bedtime Bear

Bedtime’s here, there’s the moon
You’ll be sleeping very soon,
Close your eyes, and hug me tight
Bedtime bear is with you tonight.
Good night, good night, good night,
Good night, good night, good night
Good night, good night.

Cha Chong

Cha Chong, Cha Chong, Ooh-dee-eggi
Cha Chong, Cha Chong, Ooh-dee-eggi-o.
Mommy loves you,
Daddy loves you
Mikaeli, Kaleb, Kaerli love you
Its time to go nigh night.

Love you forever
We’ll love you forever,
We’ll like you for always,
As long as forever,
My baby you’ll be.

Hold me in your arms

Hold me in your arms
Or just take my hand
Look in my eyes
And we’ll both understand
Loving together, living together
Singing a song,
As we go along
Loving together, living together
We’ll find so much we can share,
Loving together.

Mikaeli's Cheer Camp

Mikaeli had the opportunity to be a Burley Cheerleader for a day. She was so excited to be a cheerleader like her Mommy, Grandma Ringle, and Aunt Anne (Tia). She had a lot of fun! This was taken on the 19th of January at the Mini Cheer Camp. Here she learned several cheers, and a dance to perform at the Girls Varsity Burley vs Century game. (Burley won) January 25th was the Girls Basketball Game. Mikaeli cheered harder and louder than everyone for the girls basketball team as they came onto the court. GO TEAM GO!!! WHOOO HOOO!!! Mikaeli was one of the lucky kids who was able to get her picture taken with the Burley Bobcat. This is Mikaeli and Staci Campbell. Staci used to live next door when we lived in the apartments in Burley. She often watched Mikaeli when Dan and I wanted to go on a date. Very sweet girl. This is Mikaeli and Jenna Pollard. Jenna's family and ours have been friends for, Oh wow, 10 years. My mom does infusion therapy on her dad Michael. Their entire family is AWESOME!! When Jenna found out Mikaeli was going to cheer she begged to be Mikaeli's teacher. Very awesome girl. I love her to death!

Family Christmas 2007

We the Ringle's Dan, Erin, Mikaeli, Kaleb and Kaerli would like to wish you Happy Holiday's and we hope that you have a wonderful 2008.




We shot like 15 pictures and this was one of the better ones... Mostly everyone was being spazzes...




Happy holidays

New Years Eve!!!

This was the kids first time sledding. Sorry I didn't get a better picture... or more for that matter, my camera died right after this picture was taken and I didn't bring any more batteries. They loved sledding... It was colder than anything but we had fun.

CHRISTMAS!!!

For Christmas the kids had a blast! We didn't stay up as late wrapping presents this year as last year, because "Santa" was smart this year and wrapped presents as they were bought instead of Christmas Eve.
We have several traditions for Christmas. On Christmas Eve we go over to Dan's parents house and we eat Potato soup, the kids always have an activity while dinner is finishing, and after we eat we have a talent show. After everyone participates in the talent show we exchange our name gifts. Everyone in the family chooses a name out of a hat at Thanksgiving and we have a certain amount that we can spend on that person. Then after gifts are exchanged we go home and get kids ready for Santa to come.
On Christmas we open presents at our house then we go to Dan's parents to finish opening presents. After that is done we go to my parents house and have our Christmas celebration there. It is very tiring, but so much fun being with everyone on both sides of the family.




Kaleb was so excited mainly because he got mostly Cars stuff. He got a Cars quilt, and cars jammies (which he was able to open Christmas Eve). He got lots of toys but what he was mostly excited about was the books and puzzles that Santa was very intuitive and got for him. :) Boy is Santa smart!



Kaerli was all about opening presents this year. More so this year than last year, well she wasn't quite 1 last year and now she is almost 2 *sigh*. She loved as I said opening presents... it didn't matter to her whether they were hers or not, as long as she got to open them she was great. The favorite for her this year were the babies. She LOVES babies.



Mikaeli was excited because Santa actually came. We told her that if she didn't get to bed on time that he wouldn't come... as it was, the kids didn't get to bed until almost 11 and Santa wasn't going to come at all... he obviously had a change of heart. Her favorites this year were books.

Christmas time at Rock Creek

As a yearly tradition we as a family go look at the Christmas light display at Rock Creek Canyon (near Twin Falls, Idaho). The kids have been so excited to see the "pretties" especially Kaerli who is just getting into the beauty of Christmas lights. Last year she could care less.



Kaerli was so excited by the lights and Santa who was there to hand out candycanes. They even had a guy dressed up as a reindeer and one as an elf. She was just amazed! She was less excited to feed the camel when we finally got up to it.


Mikaeli has always loved the lights. This year was no exception. Every little thing she pointed out to us and just got really excited about it all.


Kaleb was really excited to go, and then fell asleep somewhere during the 45 minute drive up to Rock Creek. Nothing could wake him up. He was completely out for the count. Although he did wake up once we got back to the car, therefore we drove through the second time and let him get out and feed the camel.


As I stated before, before we got to the camel Kaerli was so excited to see it... and then she saw how BIG it was. After about 15 minutes she was ok to feed the camel a carrot... unfortunately, the camel surpassed the carrot in her hand and decided to give her a kiss instead. This picture was right before the camel gave her a kiss. BOY WAS IT SLOPPY!

Mikaeli's Dance Recital!

Mikaeli's Christmas Recital was on December 15th. She did AWESOME!!! She was the best one out there... No prejiduce at all... haha..
She really did a great job. I am very proud of her.


This Christmas Mikaeli did Tap and Ballet. She loves to dance. In January she will start with Jazz again.

The first couple pictures are at her first floor show at Highland Estates.

Every Spring and Winter recital each of the dancing groups dance at the different Assisted Living Centers around the community.

Isn't she SOOOOO CUTE!!!
