It was a sunny afternoon

01 May, 2009

Dylan decided that bubbles should be blown today........

ALissa totally agreed.

Then he thought they should jump on the trampoline.....



again Alissa agreed.


They fully enjoyed the sun today :)


Hey mom, lets go for a walk!

This is us going for a walk, but not just any walk, a tadpole SEARCH walk.

He's such a ham :)

My little Princess.

Heres what we found, not tadpoles yet, but yes, FROG EGGS! We were amazed when we saw this!


So cute!




I had to, I couldn't resist the setting :) I LOVE this picture!



Circus part 2

23 March, 2009

A little blurry but, the trained poodles were Alissa's favorite part of the show.

In between each big act they had 3 smaller acts, this kid could balance really well, Dylan said mommy he gonna fall :)

Trained Siberian Tigers jumping through fire!



The aero-acrobats, very impressive!


Alissa was very bothered by the girls wearing their underwear :) Also she was very worried that they were going to fall :)




The Jordan World Circus!

This girl was hula-hooping 30 hula hoops, very impressive!


The Elephants, Dylan's favorite part of the whole show!
Cotton Candy, you would think kids including mine would love it but no, Dylan didn't even want to try it :)




She tried it but didn't like it, go figure, I have to flag down a vendor, pay $4.00 for cotton candy and they both didn't like it :)

All of waiting for the circus to begin!





Shower Time

17 March, 2009

Alissa took her first shower today :) I know that sounds very funny or even late but we've never had her do it and she's never asked. We've always done baths but now shes a Shower Pro :)

Happy St. Patricks Day

Things I thought I would never say

12 March, 2009

-quit wiping your nose on the back of my pants
-Alissa you cannot ride on your brother, he isn't your horse
-if you guys let mommy have 2 seconds of quiet you can watch a movie when we get home
-no you can't have your brother drink out of the toilet, even if you are playing dogs! EW!
-yes we can play hungry hipppos for the 17th time today :)

I say and do a lot of things I never thought I would but I wouldn't change it for a second. Alissa and Dylan really make you remember and see life with new eyes, patient, forgiving, and young eyes :)
I don't know what I'd do without them.

Mommy's weekend Retreat :)

I loved how they looked out there in the water, so I couldn't resist taking this picture


A view from my scrapping spot :) Yes I was the scrapbooker in the corner, but thats okay.

The house where I and 9 ladies stayed for the weekend to Scrapbook





I had tons of fun wandering outside it was so pretty out on the water.
The weekend was so fun, someone cooking and cleaning for me, no housework, kids, animals, husband to worry about, just me, some girl friends, music and scrapbooking, what more could I want twice a year.

Mommy - Daughter Night

05 March, 2009

YUMMY Popcorn - what she chose 4 our snack :)

We had popcorn and watched Survivor 4 our mother-daughter special night :)
**Thats what Alissa calls it :)

It's Scrappin Time

My youngest brother Will and I doing scrapbooking :)

Ali can READ!


Reading a goodnight book to her little brother :)

"Hey Mom, yets go to the park," says Dylan

Me and Dylan at the South Prairie Creek, the kids' favorite pass time.

He's getting to be so big now.

Red cheeks, outside, cookie on his face, playing = DYLAN


We found a spot he could sit, eat and throw rocks all at the same time :)



This used to be about a yard away standing right side up as a bus stop but when it flooded it ended up upside down and moved!




Rainer View Park

Dylan enjoying his ever so healthy
Cheetos snack :)

She is such a goof girl :)

Our kids and our friends :)
Alissa, Celezte, Sulin, Isiah, Dylan and Rico
The friends are my co-workers kids


Snack Attack


I LOVED this mosaic
wall thing, it was really pretty,
so of course I took a ton of picture by it.




Point Defiance Park

03 March, 2009
















Dylan and I decided to pack up a lunch and a loaf of bread and head to a new park. We drove to Tacoma and stumbled onto the coolest park ever :) The Point Defiance Park, it had tons of stuff to do including a large pond filled with 3 different type of ducks, and seagulls and squirrels. Dylan wasted no time tearing up the bread and feeding it to all the animals :)
The upper picture of the squirrel may look cute, but that mean old squirrel bit Dylan! He was fine, and he didn't even cry. It was a very fun day!

Meet Me @ Starbucks




Dylan and I had a "coffee date" @ starbucks with Grama Lois :)
We love when she comes over!


In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.

Justin and Bre
I cannot promise you a life of sunshine; I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold; I cannot promise you an easy pathway, that leads away from change or growing old. But I can promise all my heart's devotion; A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow; A love that's ever true and ever growing; A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.
