{Sneak Peek.....}

Okay...Okay...So since our camera hasn't been working I am stuck with my camera on my phone and other people's cameras.  So here is a sneak peek from part of Mr A's birthday cake!  :-D  I still haven't gotten the pictures from my parent's camera.....as soon as I get them I will be able to put them up.  Sorry!!!  This is a picture that I took with my phone while I was working on the cake.  :-)

{My Little Helper}

Our Kirby is still out of comission.....so this is the little vacuum that we have been using.  Little Mr really wasn't sure about it when we first swtarted using it.  It was kinda funny....it liked it but he didn't want to be near it....it was a love/hate relationship.  lol 

While we were picking up the house before Mr A's birthday party all of a sudden Little Mr wanted not only to touch the vacuum but wanted to vacuum!  lol  I snapped a quick picture with my phone!  :-D  It was just too cute not too!  lol  Now he always wants me to plug it in and let him vacuum!!!!  Such a funny kid!  lol

{Happy Birthday Mr A!}

Today is Mr A's 7th birthday......and I am really liking this whole list thing for birthdays. :-D With Mr A's birthday and the exception of Little Mr I'll have done one for everyone this year.....I'm thinking that I'll keeping doing this as a tradition......I may even need to go back and think of something for Little Mr since it was his first birthday. :-)
So on to Mr A's 7th Birthday! :-D

{Good.....or.....Scary.....?}

While our friends were here we played all sorts of games, RockBand, board games, videos games, we went to the park and most of the older kids played football.........and of course we played Singstar! :-D It was really nice that the guys let us girls go the store quite a bit by ourselves.....not even with any of the kids! It doesn't happen often for either of us. There were a couple of times where we brought one of the kids, but she is a girly girly that really enjoys shopping, so it's nothing to bring her. lol Well, one of the times we went out.......when we got back to the house we walked in and heard the guys singing......and walked into the living room and found them sitting on the coffee table singing a song on SingStar together......LOL.....it was actually a funny sight!!!! LOL

{Seattle Children's Museum}

Since our friends got into town on Wednesday night we let the boys stay home from school Friday. This is something that we do not usually do. Our friends we knew in North Carolina, and they are in Utah right now, but are PCSing to Germany......so it has been a long time since we have seen them and it will be even long before we will see them again......that is a military friendship. But we have a good one. :-)
So we went up to Seattle.....and we went to the Seattle Center......and walked around and brought the kids to the fountain......I love this pic of all of our kids looking at the fountain.....yes this picture is posed! lol We were told that at 4 they let you into the Children's Museum for a 'donation' so we thought that was a much better deal than paying for 12 people to get into the museum. lol And we had a wonderful time walking around looking at things and taking some different pictures. I took a picture of their family with the space needle in the back ground and they took a picture of our family with the space needle in the back ground too. :-D I can't wait to have that pic! I'm going to frame it for sure!!! :-D It's on their camera though, so they are going to email it to us when they get settle at home. :-) AAhhhhh.....I love the Internet..... :-D
So after the museum our kids had had quite enough......they can only do so much.....which really isn't too much.....our friends decided to keep going.....which I think is awesome, & I definitely didn't want to hold them back.....there is SOOO many things to do in Seattle! :-) So they took off and went and did some awesome things with their kids and we drove back home. I got dinner started, and actually was just about finished as they walked in the door! LOL So, it was perfect timing as we were all more than ready to eat after a long day. :-) We had yummy chicken enchiladas.....we took turns cooking all sorts of delish meals together. :-D

& They came home with these beautiful fresh flowers for me! :-D Aren't they just gorgeous!!! :-D I am SOOOoooo lucky to have such amazing people in our lives!

THANK YOU!!! For a wonderful time and for touching our lives in an amazing & fantastic way! You truely help me realize who I am.....& that it's okay to be who I am. :-D LOVE you guys!!!

{Dancin' Shoes}

This is Mr T and his new shoes.....he calls him is "Dancin' Shoes" LOL He is at such a stinkin cute stage! So everytime he puts on these shoes he starts 'dancing' LOL It is SOOOOO hard not to laugh! And we're laughing cuz it's SOOO cute! He's not too bad.....it's just adorable! lol Sorry about the size of the posed pic I've been having issues lately lol with pictures and software lol I'll get back to it all really......I'm still getting used to my new toy....lol....I'll figure it all out....promise! :-D

Oh! I had nothing to do with picking out these shoes....except trying to talk him OUT of it! lol He HAD to have THESE shoes! lol He is adorable with these though! If I can ever figure out how to video him, and post it on here.....I will totally do that! lol OH! I've seen TONS on blogs with YouTube videos on them!!! I'll have to figure something out, cuz it's just too adorable not to have ya'll see it! lol :-)

{Do The Puyallup 2009 (Part 3)}

Mazatlan was doing airbrushed face painting or as our boys call them 'tattoos' so we let Mr T pick his design out and his colors out...... A Blue & Green Dragon
& The Mr picked Red & Blue Stars for Little Mr


Well it must have been a sucussfull day because of the ride home we heard Little Mr chatting up a storm telling us all about everything and when we turned around to see what Mr T was up to

This is what we saw..........

So we took that as a good sign.... :-D

{Do The Puyallup 2009 (Part 2)}

When we decided to take the boys to the fair in the first place we were only going to take them to look at all the animals. We love looking at them and see all the different kids there. lol We stopped by the Petting Farm that they had set up. They had a blast in there. We got Little Mr out of the stroller and let him walk around with Mr T and The Mr while I took pictures. :-) It was so cute to see their faces. And Mr T was hilarious! He would pose so sweet with his hand still and his smile pasted because he knew that mom wanted to take a nice pictues of him! Aren't I a spoiled one! lol :-)

{Do the Puyallup 2009 (Part1)}

I've finally decide that I'm going to do this post in three parts, yes you heard me right.....three.....we just took so many great pictures, and had such a great time that I want to be able to share them with you. :-) They were so cute! :-) So here we go for Part 1! :-D

Ride Tickets!!!!

We were so blessed to be able to get into the fair for free. On Mondays they were having a Military day and we were able to get in free. So we decided to take the two younger ones while the two older ones were in school. As we walked in the gate a lady asked if we wanted to ride the rides, I said yes and she handed me SIX tickets! I was so happy that we would have six tickets for Mr T since we were not planning on buying any. Well we were looking at the rides and decided to get just a couple more tickets to that he could pick two rides with the tickets we already had....longer story short lol......they tickets the lady gave us ended up being 'ride' tickets....so we ended up with EIGHT RIDE TICKETS.......silly parents didn't read the tickets all the way.....each ticket was good for ONE RIDE! lol So he wanted Daddy to go on some rides with him which I of course thought was adorable. :-D Here's the rides he picked. :-D

Rockin it on his MotorCycle Ride

Fun Arms on the Lion RollerCoaster
(Would have gone on the Dragon one if I had seen that one first lol)

Little Mr loved watching all the people as Mr T & The Mr rode the rides

The Giant Slide

Pushing his way through the Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark

Loved being an Airplane Pilot

Well there's the rides that were so much fun....stay tuned for the next part. :-) We went to the petting zoo. :-) And I think that was Litttle Mr's favorite. :-D

Luvs!

{Do I Get To Go To School Yet?}

Theron
Ace

This year was kinda sad for me.....Theron is seriously ready for school this year, but in WA he is not old enough so he has to wait. Sadness. He is so cute! :-D

{First Day of School 2009}

It's here again already.....school! Goodness....the summers really do fly by....it's amazing! I remember as a child remembering how fast the summers went by....and now...they still do! I can still recall the begining of the summer thinking of all the things we wanted to do this summer lol and now school has started again already!
I got up and made the boys chocolate chip pancakes and english muffins with ham, cheese and eggs....which is something they LOVE! And then for a treat I made them rice crispy treats for and after school snack. Both of which are special treats for them because we don't do breakfast at home since we get free meals they eat breakfast at school...and they get home about 4...and we eat dinner at 5:30...so it's a small quick healthy snack after school usually.....fridays I try to make something 'special' :-D
We're off to a good start. :-) I was able to take pictures by the front door again this year. I know that I don't have the same front door in all their pictures with all our moves, but I try to get their pictures by our front door on their first day. :-D

Mr E started 3rd grade this year!

Mr A started 2nd grade this year!


I also got some pics of Mr T & Little Mr this morning but I just didn't have the energy to upload, crop, and download them tonight....I did the two that actually went to school this year...lol....I'll try and get theirs tomorrow. :-D

{PaperDolls}

Mr T with his Cowboy


Mr A with his Mummy


Mr E with his Frankenstien

The other day I helped the boys make paperdolls with my cricut.....it was really fun and we had a blast. :-) They love picking the clothes and colors and having me make them just for them and the doll they are making. :-)

{Camera 'Fun'}

This is what happens when your 4 year old gets ahold of your camera! LOL
Mr T wanted to take pictures-well of course he did!-I do love these pictures, its funny what kids choose to take pictures of & how they take the picture. LOL

{Mr E Got Baptised!}

It was very exciting to have Mr E come up to us a couple months ago and tell us that he wanted to get baptised. I feel that this is a very strong and big decision. It is common in our church to get baptised when you are 8....and I'm okay with that...as long as that specific child is ready to do that. I really wanted it to be Mr E's choice....not something that we just did because we as parents believe. It was very exciting. It brought back lots of memories of my baptism and the choices that I made and make every day.

{Under Construction}

I found a new layout that I want to use for our blog, but I have to figure out how it all works. lol I can do this....I just need the time to sit down and look at it all....so please bare with me while I do this. :-D I sure do love the look of it though! :-D I'm also changing things around a bit so that our names aren't used. I've noticed alot of mom's do this....it's a privacy thing I'm sure...but I've really like it....so I'm going to be changing all the wording and lables etc....thankfully I don't really have TOO many posts to go through. :-D Wish me luck. :-D

Luvs!
