Trever's Glory!

Jeff, Bryan, & Trever! Look at these "older" boys hoopin' it up! Our friend, Jeff Lacey, holds an annual 'Lace 'Em Up' tournament every year and Trever was invited to join it last year and this year his team won the whole thing! These boys work hard! It starts on Friday night with a 3 point contest and then they draw names out of a hat to form 8 teams of 3. They play a round robin that night to place everyone for Saturday. Then Saturday it starts! Non-stop games until they have a winner! All of the wives and kids come and watch and cheer on their daddy! Tayla calls her daddy "Fat Boy!" She thinks she is pretty funny! Good times for everyone!

I bought Berkley a really cool black spiderman costume and he insisted on being a clown for his school party!

I made the executive decision that I will not be sending out a Christmas letter this year! I'm not sure why, except that I just decided to rebel! I love getting all of yours and would hope that you all continue to be more "law" abiding citizens! I seriously feel like a rule breaker! Here's our photo and maybe I'll send some little blogs about each child! We hope you all have a great Holiday Season!

Another Family Photo


Get real, taking a family photo with six kids is, well, HILARIOUS!! I think the hardest thing to do is to get everyone there. Trever seems to be the hardest! I'm pretty happy that after three hours of church we were able to smile!

Turkey Bowl





Every year the Banker family has a little "Turkey Bowl!" This year we had a lot of fun and we were very wet and cold! Daya broke her finger on the first play of the game and spent the rest of the game in the ER! She's sure there will be a replay on ESPN! The kids had a blast and so did us "big" kids!

Berkley & Pumpkin


I thought this picture of Berkley was fun!
Every year on Christmas Eve, Mrs. Claus, brings a basket with a pair of pj's and a book for every child. I emailed her this year to see if she could come the night of Thanksgiving so the kids could read their book all season and wear their jammies more! She did and they were all so excited!

Halloween 2006


Boys will be boys
