Christmas 1.1 and 1.2

Enjoyed Christmas Eve as always... once we got out of the Emergency Room that is. This has been an interesting pregnancy for us and our second trip to the ER convinced us furtherthat we are going to be so happy with four children and not interested in more...

Once we arrived in Taylorsville we ate too much, enjoyed a visit form Santa and genereally did all the holiday visiting.

On Christmas Day we slept in til 10 and opened out stocking which Santa had filled with goodies. The big girls were given scooters and the baby some little playground balls.

We slowly ate, read the Christmas story and opened presents all day. My parents arrived at about 9 and just left today.

Top gifts for me are a black leather jacket and a shadow box my dad put together with a Cy Young bat, autograph and information about him, along with photos from when we went to his memorial site.

I think Jeanna enjoyrd the Alison Krauss tickets most of all...

Christmas 1.0

For our first round of Christmas this year we had our traditional breakfast with Jeanna's mother's side of the family. We had 'Dale's Breakfast' and scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit salad, Jell-O and of course all the desserts.

Top gift recieved: Cards hoodie for Jeremy and a rotary tool. Jeanna enjoyed her scrapbook that her mother made her of all the family tree. Jacqueline ate cookies non stop and Jillian got the Doodle Pet that she has wanted all year.

Tommorrow we will go to Taylorsville and have the traditional pasta dinner for Christmas eve dinner. Santa will come at bed time and much fun will be had.

My parents will come in late on Christmas day from Oklahoma...

Last nights camp out had a Winnie roast,marshmallow roast,and slept in a tent. But our camp out was going to be better start the fun the girls (Alyssa, Jillian, and jessica) went down stairs and played well, girl stuff I guess. The boys that had arrived by that time played settlers of canan.

Camp Fest 06 by Kim

This weekend is like camping,going to the drive-in (without cars), and actually doing the Amazing Race all in one. This weekend was called Camp Fest at the Renners!!! We did all kinds of things, we set up a tent and played a game were we had to find all the puzzle pieces in the front and back yard. One team would hide there puzzles that are in the envelopes all in the front and another team would do the same, then we would go in the opposite yards and look for the pieces then bring it back to our table on the side of the house and try to put the pieces together the first team to get there's together won but we lost to much daylight so me and Jessica won. Then we cooked hot dogs on the fire and had smore's then right after smore's came the drive-in I mean the camp-in. Our movie was called MATILDA and it was a really sad,funny,and made me think that I was a really lucky teen,and that not every girl or boy is lucky like me and my sister. THen after the movie we all went to bed, me, my sister, Jillian, and Jessica. Then my uncle and little cousin and another group of gust stayed in the house. Now today we are riding our bikes and doing a lot of fun things and also getting ready to do it all over again. This weekend has been a lot of fun

sincerely,
Kim M.

Jessica's Trip

+ As told to daddy+

We went on a trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania and my favorite ride was the Scrambler. And for Holiday World the Frifghtful Falls. Cause I liked the time when we goed down the hill. Oh and when we went to Hershey, Pennsylvania I liked the picninc. I "likeded" when we got to play with the chocolate man. I really didn't play with him. I "likeded" the part when we got to go to Holiday World when we got to go by ourself.

Jillian's Trip

We went to Hershey, Pennsylvania. We got to go to the theme park and we got to go with Jack and Riley. We also go to go on lots of rides. It was fun. And we got to do a lot of things, we go t to stay in a hotel, it was called Days Inn. When that was all done we went to Holiday World. We go to go to the water pool. We also got to do a few rides. And after that we went home. My favorite ride in Hershey was the Scrambler. My second favorite ride was the Falcon. My third one was the big giant water slide. My fourth favorite was the two little water slides. My favorite rides in Holiday world was Paul Revere's Ride.

Sweetest Place On Earth

We have returned and recovered from our trip to Hershey. It was quick but enjoyable. On our first full day we spend the morning at the Hershey's Chocolate World , which included a ride through a simulated chocolate factory. We enjoyed it so much (and there was no line) that we went a second time. It was the main thing that I remembered from when I was there as a kid.
The "Really Big 3-D Show" was incredible. The Hershey kisses were flying out at us and it looked quite real. The other effects were so much fun including a seat that shook and vibrated us.
While Jeanna relaxed at the Spa we went to the Hershey Gardens. The butterflies were quite pretty. We returned to the Chocolate World so that we could do the Factory Experience and the Old Time Trolley Tour. At the factory, the kids got to work a Kiss assembly line, which was cute. The trolley took us on a tour of the town and included sing-alongs which whe kids loved. he tour guides were low talkers adn hard to hear, but it was still pleasant.
One of the best things about Hershey Park is that each admission comes with a Preview night. So we purchase our tickets for Saturday on Friday, and were able to spend from 7:30-10:00 PM inside the park for "free."
The park was a blast. We could have easily spent the two full days there, as there were several areas we didn't even get to. We never even saw the entrance to the zoo which is attached and included, let alone all the rides. We were sort of limited with the height and bravery levels of our girls, but there were several rides, including water rides, that even the baby could go on.
The drive was pretty long but well worth it, Ican't wait to go back in a few years when Jessica is tall enough to do more and Jacqueline can enjoy even more rides.

Jessica's Zoo Story

*as told to daddy*

Yesterday we went to the zoo. We had a lot of fun. And we saw zoo animals and cows and elephants. It was so much fun. And then we fed the girraffes. And it was so much fun. First we ate before we saw the concert. Then we went home and when we were at the zoo that was so much fun. Then we also looked at the girraffes before we went home and we also looked at elephants and zebras and we also looked at we saw seals at the zoo. And we also looked at the girrafes and we also ate fried chicken and ate our dinner before the concert was starting. Then we went home and 'goed' to sleep. Love Jessica
