Miracle

This is my middle son Caden who was an Anne Geddes Baby with Celine Dion when he was 6 days old! One of my friends has asked me a few times to put the picture bigger so you can see it better so here you go Marci! You are too cute!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Collin!!!

I cannot believe that my baby who I feel that was just born is 3! I hear and say this all the time but, Oh boy do they grow up so fast! You blink and then they are all grown up. Collin is such a joy for our family. He is so funny and smiley and he loves giving Mommy hugs and kisses all the time, which I can NOT get enough of! I am so blessed to have been given my 3 little blessings and I am so thankful for all of the joy that they bring! Collin...Happy Birthday! We Love You!

Halloween Party Time

What a fun Halloween time we had! We had so many fun things going on, we had 2 Parties, 2 Trunk or Treats, and then Trick or Treating around the neighborhood. I am sad to say this is the only time I remembered the camera, but lucky enough that they were taking pictures at one of the Trunk or Treats we went to! The boys were Star Wars charachters almost the whole Halloween fun except up until the last night....they all ended up being Army Guys on Halloween night. Actually Coby was an Army guy at one of the Trunk or Treats so they thought it was a good idea to change it up a little. They looked sooo cute I wish I would have gotten a picture of them ALL being Army guys!

Soccer Days

Octoberfest!

We have had another week filled with fun and excitement! I have been on 2 fieldtrips with my 2 older boys' schools this week. First was the Gilcrease Ranch with Caden's preschool and the second was with Coby's 1st grade class to the Farm Festival. We also made a family trip to the Pumpkin Patch! I love Halloween time, there are so many exciting things for families to do!

Happy Halloween!

Have a wonderful and safe Halloween!!!

A week full of fun! AND for all the kids who loved the chipmunk song, it is back!

There was so many exciting things for me to post! Coby and Caden started soccer last week and how fun it is to watch them not knowing what they are supposed to do and go into what is considered Bunch Ball! We all get a kick out of it. My kids favorite part of soccer is being the goally. They do such an awsome job at it. Caden caught and kicked the ball a few times to save the point from being scored, but sadly enough to say both of my boys teams lost last week AND this week. Both of my boys last week stayed on the outter part of the game they were a little scared to get involved in the Bunch Ball, but this week both of them got into the middle and kicked the ball. Coby was doing a fantastic job this week and he was all into the game! I have to admit the funny thing is that Bill kind of gave them a little perk to go and kick the ball.....he bribed them that he would to take them and buy them somthing at the store! Bill is too funny, he said,"Well I had to find a way for them to realize that they don't have to be afraid of the ball!" That was hilarious to me!

The other fun thing we did was go to the Open House to our new Firestation in Mountain's Edge. Caden and Collin had a great time seeing the firemen, firedogs, and also the biggest firemen in the world which was an air inflated costume. I thought my kids would be scared of him but they actually thought it was funny, we missed Coby going with us he was at school.

The next exciting news is that my kids were so excited to see that Friday morning we had 2 chipmunks in our backyard again. This time I hurried, got my camera, and only one of the chipmunks ran away. BUT now I have proof on camera of the one little guy! I got a picture of why he likes our backyard and it is because my kids leave crumbs of food outside that they are totally loving!! So my kids are so excited and now want to leave food out for them all of the time, so he is an everyday visitor now! They are so cute(my kids and the chipmunks)!!!!

Happy Halloween!

My kids had a great time painting pumpkins. Every year we get the little pumpkins for the kids to paint and they love it! Halloween time is so much fun! It could be because my birthday is in this month, but even if it wasn't I would still love October!

What Flower are you?

I am a Snapdragon What Flower Are You?

I thought this was so cute and this is what it said about me........"Mischief is your middle name, but your first is friend. You are quite the prankster that loves to make other people laugh."

Me?!?!? No, not me! heehee!

This is too cute and right on! What flower are you?

Fun Day at Redrock!

This was so much fun! We went hiking at Redrock and the kids were kind of scared that snakes were going to get them. We had to reasure them all the way that they weren't going to get them or at least we hope not! I guess we need to go hiking more often because of all the worrying that they had. But beside of the snake worries it was a wonderful day and we had a lot of fun!

Chipmunks, chipmunks, and more chipmunks!

Almost everyday my kids want to go in the backyard and look over our wall to see if we can see any chipmunks running in the desert. We usually see one running when they hear my kids yelling."Hey chipmunks!" Sometimes we get really lucky and see four scatter and run like crazy, but today Caden and Collin came running upstairs yelling,"Mommy the chipmunk is in our backyard!" They were so excited to see it in our backyard, but by the time I got my camera and went downstairs the little guy was already gone. Their cute little excited faces could of made anyone's day. That is all they were talking about all day and told everyone about it! I just wish I would have got a picture of the little guy!

Min & Britt

This is my wonderful sister Mindy (Auntie) and my wonderful niece Brittnee! I finally got a picture of them so I can post it and what a beautiful picture it is!

Family Summer Fun!

These are the wonderful men in my life!! Coby is diving with Daddy and Caden is diving by himself! What great swimmers they are growing up to be! I hope they are as good as Daddy and not me! I am an okay swimmer underwater, but not so good on top of water!

Here is Collin so proud of himself for swimming all by himself with his "Big Boy" Floaties! Daddy is starting to teach Collin to swim and he doing so well! Good job, Collin!

Collin thinks he is way too cool with his little Swim Hat! But doesn't he look so cute you could gobble him up!

Caden's Preschool with Mrs. Turley!

He is so excited to go to Mrs. Turley's class! He feels so big because he goes to Mrs. Turley's class just like his big brother Coby did!!!

Coby's 1st day of 1st grade!!!

Coby's first day of school at a brand new school, Reedom Elementary! I am so sad to see how they grow up so fast! I wanted to cry seeing him in his line with his class going into the school and I couldn't follow. I know you have to let them grow up, but not so soon!! I am so glad to see that he is in the same class as Macie, Elise, Alex, Jada, & one more little girl that he had in his kindergarten class and I can't remember her name right now. He had a wonderful first week he said to me when he came home on his first day of school,"Mommy, 1st grade is almost just as fun as kindergarten!" Which is a fantastic thing since he loved kindergarten!!

Collin's 1st haircut!

Collin is almost 3yrs. old and had his very 1st haircut. He still doesn't have much to cut, but what he has to cut he was really devastated to see it go!

At the end of the haircut he finally was okay because he still felt some hair on his head!
