They are Here!

This may be my last post for while, so I just wanted to share some pictures. Ever since I have been put on bed rest, I have forgotten that life does go on! Kyree turned 7 & started first grade. We did a mini party for him at the Pirate Place. Then one of his friends mom called and watned to do a party for Ky and her son together. It was awesome (so I heard). He came home with a gift bag, tshirt that the kids all got to make, and a bag full of gifts from his friends who came. I am so THANKFUL for all the people who have stepped up to help me and my family at this time! We are so blessed. I truly have a wonderful family and awesome friends. Thanks to all of you...even if it was just a phone call, every bit helps me through this tough time! I loveth you all!

Jamie's Visit

This is what happens when you leave a 4 year old alone at the table with a Marie Calendar cheesecake. Sooooooooooooo, we discovered she really likes cheesecake!
We were SO happy to play with our cousins, London and Zac!!
What could be better than a sandbox farther than the eye can see!!!!!!!???????
Cute hats, girls!!!! Cute girls!!!
Carving Pumpkins with everyone. . . had a fantastic time!!!

MY GROWN KIDS.....

Geez, does this mean I am getting old? My kids are looking more and more grown every week. Scarey, but aren't they so cute! Ross is almost taller than I am right now and Jazzy is quickly catching up. Jamie and her family were just here for a day while on their way to Disneyland and London got to see Jasmine in the local High School Homecoming Parade. Ross is busy these days shooting his new Airsoft gun he just bought with his own cash. It is some kind of machine gun, so he LOVES it! There are Airsoft pellets all over my house and backyard. We love and miss you all!

Birthday fun!

Ready for Halloween already? Ya Marley what is going on here?

Zac tyen out his chopsticks!!

Happy Birthday London!

Cali Kids

Some days, we are so far from matching. This particular day, I was able to get her to match the skirt with the bows. Strong minded 4 year olds are fun.
Darius is loving soccer. His best friend Zach plays, too. Lucky for Darius, he has two superstars on his team, so they've won every game so far. I'm just happy that Darius is actually getting some good blocks in this year. Big progress from picking at the grass when he was 5.
Eli stole Darius old Cub Scout hat in anticipation for when he gets to join next summer. You have to be 8, so he can't WAIT to turn 8. Mostly just to be able to do everything his big brother is doing.
Darius moved up to a Bear - cub scouts for 9 years old. He loves it!

Catching up... and First day of school for Mikey

Mikey helped me make a blueberry pie with the blueberries we picked when we were on vacation.

Mikey started these sunflowers from seeds in little cups at the beginning of the summer. I'm not a sunflower person, but these are beautiful... not huge and scary :)

Mikey decided to play with Katie's diaper cream. That stuff is so GREASY! It took 3 baths to get it all off him and out of his hair. Needless to say, he was extra clean for his first day of school on Tuesday.

No Happy pictures of Mikey were taken on the front steps of our house. He was "too tired" to go to school. We were pretty worried he wouldn't go in at all.

The theme for the week is Cowboys and Cowgirls.

He found his coat hook and hung his bag and coat. Then some frogs in a tank caught his attention. After that the train table. That was our cue to say a quick good bye and BOLT!

Here he is - First day DONE! Still alive after 2 1/2 hours of school!
