Emma's polka dot birthday party!! Dec 2010

2011-08-31T08:01:00.000-07:00

I am really going to try to get caught up on all my blogging. We shall see. It seems like my life never settles down for to long.
Emma turned 6 in December and she really wanted a polka dot party... Ok we can do that!! M friend made me polka dot vinyl to put on my walls. Emma wore her polka dot shirt so did I we had polka dot cake that my mom made. It was really fun, but also a lot of work!!

She loves Justin Bieber

It's not a party without just dance!!

She really is as sweet as can be!

Pinata time. This is December at my house!! Love where we live! (In the winter) (;

Josh made pin the tail on the polka dot puppy game for us. It is so nice having him do fun stuff like this for us.

She LOVED her birthday party!!! I love doing birthday parties!! She is turning into such a good girl. She is making her own decisions and for the most part she is choosing the right. She will ask me 'mom is this modest?" She is definitely a pleaser always trying to make me happy and "trying' to be a peacemaker in our home. We are so complete with her in our lives. I just love you Emma!!

2010 Pumpkin patch

2010-11-15T22:04:00.000-08:00

I love going to the Pumpkin patch any pumpkin patch it's one of my favorite things to do. It symbolizes the change of the seasons for me. It is so exciting for me even if we still can wear shorts (:

Many Changes

2010-11-08T11:57:00.000-08:00

Well I know this is crazy but we had never cut Mylee's hair before. I loved it long. But it was getting to be such a pain that after we cut Emma's hair we decided to chop off little miss Mylee's.

I freaking love it!! She looks so grown up and just so sassy!!

It looks like she has a ton of hair

So Emma got her hair cut first of course my pics are out of order. I just love this cut it is so cute on little girls!!

All her sun bleached hair

This is how long it was man she had a ton of hair

Well they were making changes so I thought its my turn for changes no more blond hair hello brunette!! I love it so much!!!

Its time for school, Its time for school!!!

2010-10-27T09:22:00.001-07:00

Ok these pictures are out of order sorry. The kids started school back in August, I am just a little out of it.

This is Aiden sitting in his class he was so nervous and not really sure of what to expect. I was kind of sad to drop him off. He is still one of my babies. He cant be in school yet!! ):

So worried I love this face

He is just so dang cute!!!

Here is Emma waiting in her line to go to class

This is Emma with her teacher Mrs. Gamboa Emma loves her

Here is my kids with some of their best buddies!! Aubree, Emma, Kael, and Jacob. After we got rid of these kids we went out for breakfast the funny part was we got rid of 4 kids but we still had 4 kids at breakfast (:

I LOVE this pic Aiden just loves his big brother, and you can tell just by looking at this picture that he worships him!!

I think Emma is super nervous this is her first day of Kindergarten!! No pic with Kael and his teacher he is way to cool for that (:

Birthday Lunch

2010-10-27T09:07:00.000-07:00

This girl is one of my most favorite people. She had a birthday back in the summer. We surprised her with a birthday lunch. The best part was she really had no idea that we were planning this. She was so shocked that made it awesome. Let me start by saying Monica was my first friend in Arizona. She was always so nice and she always came up to me and talked with me and she really made me feel important. I had a really hard time making friends cause I was terrified of talking to anyone and making a fool out of myself. Monica always had time to visit with me and I love visiting with her. She helped me get to know so many people in my ward. I was clueless as to everyone was and I would call her up and she would help me figure out who everyone was. I am so grateful for our friendship. Arizona would have been awful if it wasn't for Monica's kindness. I just love you Monica!!!

I Love her!!!

Some of the awesome people who came to the lunch

More awesome people!!!

Lunch was at the yummy Paradise bakery

Once again Monica you are amazing!! Just remember all these great women who love you and think you are wonderful!!

Summer

2010-10-27T08:54:00.001-07:00

Yeah I know Summer is officially over so I guess its time I finish up posting about it. We get a pool pass every year to the city pools and one of the pools has this really fun flowrider. Josh loves it the kids loved watching daddy do it but they really wanted to do it. I am pretty sure we made them earn it. They had so much fun.

Here is Emma trying to get the hang of it

I love Kaels face in this picture he had so much fun

Getting ready to take off

Josh love riding this thing. He could ride on it all day if we would let him

Emma is concentrating really hard

Emma getting ready to take off

Utah Warning picture overload!!!

2010-09-20T13:46:00.001-07:00

Every year the Barrons get together for a family reunion. We have been able to go to everyone so far. This year it was in Utah. We had such a fun time!! The first day my camera's battery died so I dont have any pictures but we went to Bridal veil falls. Josh thought that it was one of the coolest places. My kids had such a fun time there. All these pics are of course out of order sorry. My sis in law Megan did such an amazing job of planning fun things for us to do. We were never bored thats for sure.

Just our little family took a little side trip to Salt Lake. My kids had never been there before and I really wanted them to see the Salt Lake Temple and the Conference center and all of its beauty. It turned out to be such a great day. Hot but a great day none the less.

She is just so pretty!!

The kids all cooling off (:

This is Josh's take the dang picture face he he

Inside the Tabernacle

One of the days we hiked to this awesome water fall. This place was so freaking cool!!

The water is really really cold!! Josh and his bro Andy

This place was so neat! I would love to come back here!!
This is my cute pregnant sis in law Megan and I

I really wanted him to get in the water fall but he wouldnt

So pretty

These annoying people hiked up here and sat up there the whole time luckily we got pics before they sat and made the picture op ugly

Papa Jeff had his birthday during our reunion. So we had a birthday party for him.

We went to this really cool lavender farm it was so pretty and I was trying to take some pics and of course Aiden is to cool to take pics. Little stinker!!

Getting these girls to look up and smile at the same time was just impossible

Trying to take a family picture with this bunch it such a pain!! I am the only one that can handle looking happy I love these little people!!

These 2 are just the cutest!

Some of the girl cousins

He is so handsome!!

Most of the cousins. Bryn is the only one not in the pic

This is what Mylee does best, be cute!!

We had so much fun in Utah. We were having so much fun the week just flew by. I love our family reunions they are always so much fun!! I can't wait until next year!!

Fourth of July weekend

2010-08-29T22:16:00.000-07:00

Saturday the 3rd we went up north for the day to Isaac's family camp out. We just made it a day trip but my kids did not want to leave they had so much fun. To be honest so did I.

Kael thought riding the horse was so cool

Mylee is usually terrified by everything so I was so surprised when she didn't want to get off the horse. She loved it.

That's my Emma the little mommy

Aiden getting ready to ride the quad with Uncle Issac

This is what I mean when I say she is afraid of everything!! It just makes us laugh we love to scare her. I know its kind of evil...

Thanks Pembers for letting us have so much fun with you!!!

Then the next night we went to watch the fireworks. I love the 4th of July. I love the cute clothes I love the fireworks, I just love everything about it!

The cousins playing games before the fireworks

I love this pic of the kids lying down they just had so much fun I love him!! I don't think he knows though (:

Getting the cousins to look and smile all at once is hopeless!

I just love her!! She is such a good helper and does the sweetest things it just amazes me. She is not perfect at all but she really is a sweetheart!!

Here is where it gets funny. Once the fireworks started Mylee freaked out! Crying hysterically. Would not stop. She kept saying "I want go home want go home." Or "turn it off". Finally she just hid under this blanket crying the whole entire time the fireworks went off. it was funny at first but after awhile I am sure the people around us wanted her to shut up! I did too (:

My funny little girl!

Dang I am 30 now!!

2010-08-29T21:55:00.001-07:00

My dear friend Monica had got a Twilight ticket for me because it came out the night of my birthday. She brought her nephew Jacob. We had a lot of fun waiting in line to see the movie. We made friends with all the Harkin employee's. They were really nice despite people being mean to them all night.

my sis in law Laura also came out to wait in line for the newest Twilight movie

I threw a fit and made josh come see the movie he didn't want to stay up till midnight watch the movie and get up for work the next day. But I totally pulled the birthday card and there he was watching the movie with me (: Love him!! He surprised me and stayed home from work with me on my birthday. It was so fun to get all the facebook happy birthdays texts all day from people. it was also fun going and getting all the free birthday treats. I went and got my dozen free krispie kreme donuts. We went to Joe's Farm Grille for my free birthday lunch. Then we went into my work and the girls I work with had ordered yummy Mexican food. it was a really nice day. I felt so very loved that day. I guess that's why birthdays are so fun. (:

K Josh kind of looks a little pale in this pick!! (;

I have got to say that I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. Do you know what I mean? It took me 30 years to realize that I like myself, that I can have my own opinion and its ok. That I am not as skinny as I was in High school but I feel so much better about myself. I just cant explain it,but just that I am finally in a "happy place". I look forward to getting older and wiser. I am at peace with myself. I know it is because everyday my testimony grows and it makes my life so much better. I can feel my Savior's love for me on a daily basis. I am worthy of his love. I am grateful for the knowledge I have of an eternal family. I have a testimony of prayer he never answers it the way I want him to but he answers it and its the right way.

Man its been awhile

2010-08-29T21:44:00.000-07:00

It is so hard to get caught up once you take a break from blogging. I am going to try and get caught up just a little bit. We had such a fun summer it seemed liked we were always going some where doing something that summer just flew by. So here is a taste of some of the fun we have had this summer.

Lounging out by the pool with cousins

Drive in movies with the cousins
30th Birthday party for Uncle Isaac

Just having to much fun at the pool he cant stay awake anymore (:

I just love this kid!!!

Working on our tan

And having cousin sleepovers

Father & Sons

2010-07-05T21:20:00.001-07:00

So here are my boys with their best buddies the Twilley boys getting ready to go to father & sons
These boys had so much fun. I am not going to lie I had fun while they were away!!! (:

So what do you do when all the men are away? You have a major party that's what you do!! We started off by having dinner at the new fast food Tia Rosa's. Then we all went back to my house and we had a bow making party. It was so much fun and I was able to have so many bows!! (I could not make a bow to save my life) Luckily my awesome friend Monica whipped me up some super cute ones!!

Michelle making super cute flowers!!

Pretty much all the moms had little girls that they brought here are a few of them making cute little crafts

So everyone brought some stuff and this is allot of what everyone brought it was bow making, flower making madness!! Super fun!!

Some of the girls that were there.

So this literally ended being an all night party! Even the little girls stayed up all night, they were in Emma's room making necklaces and bracelets listening to Justin Beiber as loud as they could.I think the total of little girls including babies was around 10 but I might be off. I didn't end up going to bed until after 4am. That's right!! 4AM is when everyone ended up going home!! But I had such a fun night!! I love all the girls that came. They just made it so much fun!! Thank you to all my friends that ended up coming. The super tired next day was SO worth it (;

Papago park

2010-07-05T21:12:00.000-07:00

So back when it wasn't a million degrees outside we went on a little adventure. I have always wanted to climb these rocks, every time we visit the zoo I would say I really want to go check those out. Well we finally went and "checked" them out. Kael and Emma thought they were awesome. Aiden and Mylee had a harder time because they didn't like all the hiking.
Trying to tale a pic with the kids. That is my too cool for you Aiden behind the hat. he just makes us laugh with everything he does.

He appears and so does Mylee

The fun little "cave" the kids liked it in there, well Mylee of course didn't like because she is kind of a stinker!

Mylee always terrified, luckily daddy is there to make it all better (:

Birthdays!! So behind!

2010-07-05T07:48:00.000-07:00

My little ones had a birthday!! So Mylee's bday is March 29th and Aiden's bday is April 3rd. So for a week they are always the same age. It was fun to say that I have two 2 year olds. Its not really fun I dont recommend having them 11 months apart. (: So they will forever share there bday party. We had a Carnival party theme and Josh did the invitations for me. Its so nice I just tell him what I want and he just whips it up!

I found on craigslist this super cheap bounce house and we had that put up in our backyard. Aiden thought that the bounce house was his present. He just didn't understand that it was only for the weekend. It was such a busy weekend that I didn't get any pics of the bounce house I really only took like 4 pics total!! The kids had so much fun. I had so much fun! My mom made the cute giant cup cakes for the kids Aiden LOVED his cake! He did not want to share any of his cake with anyone!!

The crazies! All the presents

Mylee getting ready to open her presents. She LOVED all her presents!!
Aiden with his presents. They had such a great day!!

Mylee's outfit was so cute! She wouldn't ever let me get a picture of it. I loved it and I love that skirt! She didn't like all the attention on her (:

Singing to Aiden we sang it twice. He loved all the attention that day

Thankyou to all the family and friends that came and helped out it was a successful party because of all you!! Thankyou!!

Ragnar

2010-06-20T12:32:00.001-07:00

Michelle and I at the end of Ragnar. I love this girl!! I have said it before and I will say it again. I am so glad that I met her I am so glad that her cute family is in my life. They make me so happy. I finally feel like Arizona is my home. I have a place here and part of it is because of her and her wonderful family. I love you guys!!!

Ragnar was such a neat experience. My pictures are backwards of course from the end to the begining. My wonderful partner in all this was Michelle. We were the only girls in our van, but most of the men werent all that bad. (:

This was our team "Expect Delays"

Running into the finish line

Running for me just opens up my mind. It can put everything into focus and make me think about more than just me and what I am doing. I remember when they would bring me water I would ask them if I was almost done. They kept lying to me and saying yes almost. Wow it was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. I am ready for more. I cant wait till next year!! (Hopefully my butt wont be that huge next year) (:

7 miles on a downhill incline on a dirt road. Very very hard.

Me getting ready to run 7 miles. I did 6 miles like 2 weeks before so I thought piece of cake no biggie.

Let me just say that Devin is AMAZING he was so fast and so focused that I was just in awe of him. On the next day he ended up finishing legs for some of the other runners because they needed help and he was right there ready to go. We went out to Dennys later after our run and people would come up to him and say "hey do you remember passing me by?" He was so fast. Devin was a superstar!!

This is Jeff he did amazing!!!

Michelle was the first to start off our van, so excited and ready to get going

Running

2010-05-25T00:07:00.000-07:00

Well it all started by Michelle and I going to the gym together. It was tons of fun. Then we started talking about triathlons and 10ks and such and how it would be fun to do one. Well one Sunday night Michelle texted me about doing a 10k in 2 weeks. It was called 2 sisters one heart. So I said heck yeah lets do it that would be fun. And we began "training" for this 10k. Well 2 weeks went by real fast and our day was finally here, I was excited, nervous, anxious, and just ready to see if I could really even do it. WE DID IT and our time was pretty good for us!! We beat our practice run a week earlier. It was definitely an awesome feeling to reach the finish line and to have actually accomplished something that I thought was hard. I am so grateful for Michelle asking me to do this with her. Because of this run and other runs that I will talk about later, I have made a really awesome friend. I have not had this much fun in a long time. I know Heavenly Father places people in our lives for certain reasons and I think he placed Michelle (and Jared) in our lives to make Josh and I happier and to want to be better people. I am so glad they moved into our ward. They are such great people!!

This pic was taken after our 10k we were beat! But so happy!! I am so proud of us!

Random semi update

2010-05-24T23:22:00.001-07:00

So my life has just been out of control crazy. I have really enjoyed it but it has definitely made me take a brake from blogging. this year we have had tons of fun so far. I have been a little lazy with my camera as well. Here is a little recap of some of the fun we have been having I will have more to put up whenever I get the chance (:

Kids club at the mall outside while its nice, all my Little's dancing away

I love him

The first graders got to go on a fun field trip to the zoo this is the only pic I took ):

For science all the first graders had to built a robot so this is what daddy and kael built. Its pretty awesome

Kael started piano with Sister Green our Primary chorister Kael LOVES it so far, and Emma is dying to join in on the fun

My kids were at their cousins house one night and when we picked them up this is what they looked like asleep everywhere Emma has her shirt partially on her head still (:

And Emma and Kael both had to go to the dentist and get some teeth worked on

The zoo

2010-03-28T20:55:00.001-07:00

We are always at the zoo. I love the Phoenix zoo. We have passes and we go on every holiday the kids have!! The kids have so much fun. I think it is one of the best zoo's (next to Santa Barbara of course) So here was our fun day!!

Utah!!

2010-03-28T20:42:00.000-07:00

The day after Christmas we left our house at 3am for Utah. The ride up was not bad. We just noticed that it got colder and colder as we drove up!! (: Like The moment we got into Utah I was frozen, up until we got back down to sunny az!! (:

This handsome little devil loved his snow clothes especially his awesome spiderman boots that we borrowed.

The kids really wanted to go on the tramp the moment we got there we finally let them. They had so much fun. I thought it was crazy how much snow was on it. It pretty much snowed the whole time we were there.

This is a big pile of dirt that got covered in snow and it turned into he perfect hill for the kids to sled down. This was next to Andy and Megan's house.

All the kids getting bundled up (again) to go out and play in the snow. My kids loved playing in the snow with their cousins. They would play outside until they were frozen!!

Megan took us to this awesome bounce place that had tramps everywhere. we left the kids play here for a long time. It was a great place for the kids to let out some of there crazy energy.

Brynn smile is just the cutest! She was my buddy the whole week talking with me and being so cute!

Mylee loved the trampolines

Aidens first encounter with the snow he was not sure he liked it at all

The snow was so yummy to them!!

Josh helped out by shoveling the driveway. After that he let me know that we were never moving to Utah. (:

I didnt let Mylee play in the snow to often because it was such a pain to get her bundled up. She did not like it much anyways

If you look closely at Mylee you will see our lame snowman. The kids thought it was funny to knock it down every time we got it stacked oh well.

Throwing snowballs

We had so much fun in Utah. We stayed with Josh's brother Andy and Megan and there cute kids Abby, Reese, and Brynn. Megan made yummy food for us every night. The kids got along amazingly well, not much fighting at all. We played a really fun game and if you know me you know I hate playing games, but this one was really fun. But we had to stay up till midnight on New years eve and so we played a really fun game and then we ended with a not so fun game of scrabble. I cant spell so I did not like that game and everyone took forever with their words!!

Megan and I got to sneak away to the gym every few nights which was so nice! Thankyou so much Andy and Megan for opening up your home to us and being such great hosts!! We cant wait to go back to Utah when its not snowing!! I was so happy to go back home and wear my flip flops again!(:

2010-01-03T20:11:00.000-08:00

One of my very sweet friends Monica asked me what was Josh's favorite candy and I told her smarties and she made this super cute candy necklace for him! I thought that was the cutest thing! So now that we have room to throw a party that's what we did! We had all our friends and their kiddos over for a yummy dinner. It was so much fun! I didn't want the evening to ever end it was just so much fun to be with wonderful people!

We had to break out the Wii for the boys to have fun on

Some of the men chatting it up

More friends

I just think this is a cute picture of Mylee at her daddy's party

I think this was one of Josh's favorite birthday parties. It was so much fun! I am so grateful to wonderful friends who would come and celebrate with us.

Mylee not to happy about something

All of the kids finally getting a tun on the Wii (:

Thankyou so much again, to all our wonderful friends who came!! Thankyou to my wonderful friend Jana for helping me out that day!! I had so much fun at this party that I am already planning another just for fun party!! Yeah for having more room for parties!!!

Light Parade

2010-01-03T20:00:00.001-08:00

Tempe Town had there light parade and it was pretty cute. My favorite part was seeing Sherrif Joe Arpio I think Josh and I were the only people cheering for him. I think he is doing a great job and was so excited to see him!!

My sister Kimmi she recently moved back to California and left me all alone out here and I love when she comes to visit me! I get so sad though everytime she goes back to Cali. Move back here Kimmi!!!

My little ones getting hopped up on candy (:

Josh's work Christmas Party

2010-01-03T19:57:00.000-08:00

So Josh's work party this year was so much fun! We went to F1 race factory and rode on go carts andraced each other. I was pretty slow. They had all these rules and I didnt want to break any of the rules so I just drove around the track moving out of everyone elses way. I still had so much fun and would love to do it again.

Emma turned 5!!

2010-01-03T19:30:00.000-08:00

My sweet little stinker Emma turned 5 back in December we had her party on her daddy's actual birthday but he did not mind sharing with her. On her actual birthday she was so happy she kept saying I am five today, mommy I am five. She was just so excited!

Her friend Rylee made this bracelet for her and it was one of her favorite presents! She still wears it all the time.

All the kiddos enjoying cupcakes Emma wanted a strawberry shortcake Bday party so that was easy for me. I tried talking her out of a party but that is what she looks forward to doing.

My pictures are out of order this everyone enjoying the cracked pinata

Mylee is happy as long as she has some yummy candy to munch on

I love Aidens face in this picture he was so excited to hit the pinata with a bat

Cute Tyson!! He fell and hit his head on the playground poor guy!! Sorry it had to be at a strawberry shortcake Bday party!!

Thanks to my wonderful friend Jana who took most of the pics for me I appreciated her so much!!

This was Emma on her actual birthday opening her present from her Nana and grandpa they got her just what she wanted.

Emma is quite the character and I wanted to journal some of the things she is doing at this stage in her life.

She is a social butterfly! She loves going to school to see her friends she loves every single kid in her class. She LOVES her church friends also. She wants everyone to play together.

She is kind of obsessed with how I do her hair, which is annoying but if it is something she thinks is ugly I am going to know about it. She also looks at herself in the mirror and makes sure her hair still looks nice. She is so funny about stuff like that.

She is such a little mommy. She loves babies and she thinks that she should be holding a baby if they are on the floor and crying. If Mylee needed her diaper changed and I wasn't around Emma would just do it because she loves to be the mommy. I am constantly telling her to leave other peoples babies alone because Emma is always right there in their faces.

She is such a love! She gives the best hugs and kisses. If I am not having such a good day she will just come and give me a hug or rub my back or play with my hair, just to make me feel better.

I love my little stinker! She is so stubborn, silly, kind, crazy, and just the best daughter I could ever ask for! I love my little baby girl!! I remember bringing her home from the hospital a week after she was born it was such a wonderful day. It is so bitter sweet part of me still wants her to be my sweet little preemie and the other loves watching her turn into this beautiful girl.

End of Soccer

2009-12-18T21:55:00.000-08:00

Kael with his awesome Coach!

Kael always wanted to be goalie we never wanted him to be the goalie and having all that pressure it was stressful for us as parents

Emma loves her teammates! They were such a great team! They had so much fun together! Most of these kids are in our ward except maybe 1 or 2. This was Emmas first year and she did really well. I need to scan her soccer pics because her hair is so funny! I couldnt make it to her picture day and Josh did her hair and it looked so awful!! But it was hillarious because Josh did it! I will scan it eventually (:

I have so much to catch up on! I am trying to get it all done, but some major things have been going on and keeping me very busy so I promise to get better at this (maybe at the new year things will settle down) (:

Emmas Costume parade

2009-11-10T15:13:00.000-08:00

Emma's school had a very cute costume parade. Emma decided to be Belle for her class party

This is Emma and her best friend

Ok Aiden was obsessed with this Giraffe he talked about it the whole time and wanted to go see it. so I take him over to see the giraffe and he would not go near it and Mylee was terrified by it! It was so funny!

Emma and her friend in the parade

Silly face Emma

Her class and her teachers. Emma loves her school so much and I love the 3 hours of free time I get 4 days a week!! (:

Trunk or treat

2009-11-10T15:08:00.000-08:00

We went to my parents Trunk or treat and got a lot of yummy candy. It was such a nice night compared to our own wards trunk or treat. it was like the coldest night ever so we did not stay long and I don't think I took pictures because I was a little busy with all the craziness happening at our home (we moved)

Pretty Bride

Scary Pirate

Pouty little lady bug!

Trying to get the group together to take a picture. Not such an easy task!

A night out with the office girls

2009-11-10T14:53:00.000-08:00

So in my life before children, I had a full time job back in California. I worked there for over 5 years. I had Kael and Emma when I was working there. I got both of my sisters jobs there and one of my sisters still works there. Dr. Brown's Orthodontic office. I got to hang out with them a few weekends ago, and it was so much fun!! I just miss them so much!! I am so glad that they came to PCSO and invited me to go to there fun party together. We went to a place called Raw Hide that I thought was out in the boon docks, but it was also a really fun place!

This is where we should be locked up! (: My sissy, Dr. Brown and I

The group! I didn't work with all these girls, but we still had a great time together!

Us on the spooky train! Alicia kept squishing me into the side because she was such a chicken!

This is seriously how we would act at work! So much fun!

Me, Dr. Brown, my sissy Alicia, and sweet Pammy

The trouble makers not Alicia she is to much of a goody goody (; But Rena and I caused a lot of trouble. Remember Sharon? Remember? (:

I am definitely prettier!!! He he just kidding Alicia (you know I am though)

The group getting ready to get on the bus and go to Raw Hide! Yee Haw!! Thanks for inviting me I had such a fun time!!! Miss you girls!!!

BOO

2009-11-10T14:49:00.000-08:00

So we got Booed and therefore had to boo others. Lets just say that we sucked at it!! (: We got caught at the second persons house. I told Emma don't ring the doorbell until we run away, we just as we were putting the items on the door step she rings the bell!!! AHHH we so got caught!! The kids thought that it was pretty fun!! I was like sorry we suck at this!!! Maybe next year we will be better!

The Fair

2009-11-10T14:40:00.000-08:00

We took the kids to the fair opening day because it was only a dollar to get in all day. I hate the fair but the kids had a blast

Little stinker wouldn't let me take a picture of her

Dirty nasty legs, from the dirty nasty fair (:

Aiden really was not tall enough for the rides he stood on his tippy toes to reach the line and the guy did not notice. He thought he was so big on all the rides!

The kids loved this place!! All the pads were dirty but that did not stop the kids from having a blast!

The end result of the fair. So Gross!!!!

Amazing Jakes

2009-11-10T14:29:00.000-08:00

A Few weeks ago Josh's Uncle Gary & Aunt Lorraine came through Mesa and took us all out to Amazing Jakes for Pizza and fun!! Boy did the kids have fun!

Aidens head is just to big to hold up during the teacups (:

So cute!

This place was so much fun!! Thanks for visiting with us!!!

Fall Break Fun

2009-11-10T14:22:00.000-08:00

Back in October Kael & Emma had fall break and a whole bunch of us from our ward partied at the zoo!!!

On the train, we love the train

Some of the kids that went they were checking out the mountain lions, boy do they stink!! (The lions, not the kids) (:

This was the whole group that went. We had such a fun time I barely saw my kids because they were just having so much fun with all the kids.

it is a sad day!!

2009-10-11T19:57:00.001-07:00

Kimmi left for California today ): I am sooooo sad! She has been such an awesome sister and I am just so sad that she wont be close by anymore. I really am going to miss her. She has become such an awesome person and I really enjoy being around her! I know that she will be much happier back in California but myself and my kids are going to miss her so much!!!

This is Danielle Cameron's girlfriend they came out to take Kimmi back to Cali

Struck a pose Cammy!!! I LOVE this kid. Can you believe I am 10 years older than him? It is crazy!!

Pretty Kimmi getting ready to leave me forever!!! ): ): ): ):

Goodbye kisses!

He is so cute!

They are sad to see everyone go home! ):

I love these people!

I am really going to miss her!!

Out of order oh well (:

I am all alone now!! This is such a sad day! ):

Soccer!!!

2009-10-11T19:40:00.001-07:00

Soccer has begun in our home again. This time Emma got in on the action. She LOVES soccer she asks me everyday when her soccer practice is. Kael does the same thing. Kael is in the U8 level and Emma is in the U4 both of their coaches our in our ward and half their team is as well. Soccer games are so much fun we get to catch up with friends and cheer on our little cuties!! I also love that games are very close to our home so we don't have to drive as far as we were last year!!!

I swear I feed Kael but he is literally running non stop and that is why he looks so stinkin skinny!

Skinny legs again!

Poor little Aiden he asks me when his soccer practice is ): I tell him when he turns 3 then he can play. So for now it is cheering on Kael and Emma and he is very good at it!

Emmas game this is our little cutie being the goalie she thought it was pretty fun!

Emma's age is so fun because they all run in a cluster after the ball! You always know where the ball is because that is where all the kids are.

Stretching before the game she was a little nervous.

Soccer season is so fun!! It is so fun to watch Josh because he gets so into his kids playing he is the loudest one on the sidelines at times, he LOVE to watch his kids play and really builds them up!!! He is the best daddy around!

Tubes again??

2009-09-27T21:29:00.000-07:00

Yes!! Unfortunately my little buddy had to get tubes again. He just got tubes back in January but his ears were still hurting and he was losing his hearing. So the doctor thought that by putting in a different type of tube in and releasing pressure in his ears he should gain back his hearing. I think it worked instantly!! He has not complained about his ears for a week and it has been wonderful!!! This time was so nice because he didn't need an IV or to change his clothes or anything and it only took like 15 minutes. This is Kael getting ready to go in!

We finally cut his hair!

2009-09-27T21:19:00.000-07:00

Well I loved Aiden's hair long. I don't care what anyone else thought he looked so stinkin cute! But it was getting to the point were he wouldn't let me brush it because it was so knotty and it hurt to brush. And my grandma kept asking about my little girl so it was time for Aiden to have a new look!

Good bye surfer look hello super handsome!!! He loves his new haircut. The next day all he could talk about what his new haircut! So cute I love him!!

Natural Bridge

2009-09-27T20:50:00.000-07:00

On our way home from the ward camp out we stopped off at the Natural Bridge. We didn't think it was going to be open but we thought we would try anyways. I was so glad we did because it was beautiful! I finally found some where beautiful in AZ!!! This place was so fun! we first took this hike down some very steep hill and at the end was this beautiful waterfall! I could have stayed there all day! So neat!

They were running down these stairs and scaring the crap out of me!!

Stop let me take a pic and grab onto you before you fall off the cliff!!!

So gorgeous!! In this waterfall were all kinds of little caves. I wanted to explore in them so bad!

What the natural bridge looks like from below

At the bottom playing in the stream

We decided the climb through the cave. It was so fun but so scarey with little kids! There were places were on tiny mistake and they would fall down into the water. No mistakes but it was so scarey for me as the worry wort mother!!

Another steep hill that my kids literally ran down and I had to hold onto them for dear life!!

Inside the cave we just climbed up one steep area and now we were trying to find another safe way up.

We were down there where those people are. This place was so cool!

My kids loved this place!! Emma kept asking all week if we could come back here!

Getting ready to climb up some more!

This place was so cool! I cant wait to go back. This time without any kids so I don't have to worry about them so much!!!

Ward campout

2009-09-20T20:21:00.001-07:00

Ok I must warn you that all the pictures are out of order. If I was a true blogger I would fix them and make it right. But honestly I have time to just throw them out for everyone to see please forgive me!!

Our AWESOME friend Dan rigged this swing from 2 very high trees, for the kids to have fun swing rides on. It looked like fun I totally wanted to do it!

Kael doing no hands all the kids were scared at first but then they didnt want to get down!

Dan in the very high tree getting it ready for the swing

My Kael always has to find some sort of creature and this was their frog Freddie that Kael had found and tormented all day (:

I love these lips!!

You might have noticed there are no pics of our little Mylee well my awesome,wonderful, pretty,sweet, great sister kept her at home!! I know she is the best!! I love Mylee but it was so nice not having to watch her 24/7 or her her cry at me or do any of that baby stuff! (Can you tell I am over babies? You have no idea!) We had such a great time cooling off up North and having such a fun time with friends! It was great. Now if only the wonderful weather that we had up ther would follow us down here!

2009-09-20T20:19:00.000-07:00

You know your tired when you can fall asleep anywhere!!! Silly little boy!!!

Melanoma

2009-09-18T09:18:00.000-07:00

Well back in the day I had skin cancer and I should have been tested ever 6 months from that point on. Well I am a horrible patient I will not go to the doctor unless I am dying or I have to because of a baby. I just kept having the feeling that I needed to get my moles checked out so I finally thought I will make an appointment and go. I showed her the ones I thought were bad and they turned out to be fine and she then looked at my back and found one that looked bad and did a biopsy on it.

This is what the biopsy looked like don't mind the fat back shot (:

Well the biopsy came back bad and so they sent me to a dermatologist and he took a bigger biopsy of it. I have to say at the time of the biopsy I was bending over holding Mylee on my lap who was kicking and screaming, meanwhile trying to hold still and be brave (I am such a wimp). I do not like back shots! They hurt like crazy! Well that one came back cancerous. So I had to go in again for them to take a big spot off my back. It was the day before school started and my mom was able to watch my kids for me and my dad took me and I got yet another shot in my back and felt allot of stretching and pulling and then stitching . This was the end result...

This was the day I got my stitches out it healed really nice and they were able to get it all out. From now on I will go in every 6 months no matter what. I am grateful to our Heavenly Father for that still small voice, don't ever ignore it. (:

Kael and Emma started School

2009-09-18T09:04:00.003-07:00

Well we got our MAC back so I can update my blogging a little bit. I am only a month late but what ever. Emma started preschool this year and absolutely loves it! She goes everyday except for Wednesdays for 3 hours a day. Let me just say that for me it is a little bit of heaven on earth!!! I love it, she loves it it cant get any better! Her teacher is Mrs. Helton and she just loves her. I have to admit that I have not been a super blogger lately I don't know what it is I just have been so busy that I am literally running from one thing to another so there is not enough time to take pics.

This is Emma getting ready to go to class on her first day. She is so excited and nervous all at the same time.

I just think she is to cute!!!

Her first day of school outfit! I love it!

I am a horrible mother! We were practically late to Kael's first day of school because they decided to make changes and get rid of allot of parking and it was just so crazy!! My little guy is in First grade this year his teacher is Ms. Woolhouse and we love her so far! I am very blessed to have Kael he never gets in trouble at school he always gets 100 percent on his tests and his assignments. He tries so hard to be a good kid! He actually got student of the month for August and we are so proud of him!! He is such a wonderful little boy!! Kael we are so proud of you and we love you so much!!!

Annual Barron Family reunion

2009-08-24T09:46:00.001-07:00

Ok I want to start out by saying that I got lazy towards the end so there maybe a few random out of order photos I just don't care I needed to get this done. (: The first week of August was our Reunion for Josh's family we camped at McGrath Beach again, we had such a fun time! All of Josh's siblings were there at some point. They were able to get pictures of them all together. Let me start out by saying I LOVED the weather we froze our buts off every-time we went to the beach (it seemed like) I appreciated being cold because there is no doing that in good old AZ right now (: We did themed days and each day was different birthday party, Easter, Hawaiian, cowboy, Pirate and I don't remember the rest. The kids keep asking to go back to the beach they had such a good time with their cousins.

We celebrated Josh's dad's birthday at his house before we left for the beach, here is his yummy Ice cream cake that we got him

This is where all the kids crashed at Nana and Papa's house it was pretty funny they were so tired in this pic is Lexi, Alli, Emma,Kael, Aiden, Mylee, and Aaron. This is the dinning area (:

Before we put the kids to bed this is what I found Mylee doing she was so sleepy!!!

Mylee and Aaron are little buddies this is them patiently waiting to leave

Our first night camping the kids went to sleep so fast, it was so nice!

Little buddies again!!

The beach wore Aaron out!

Reese and Emma burying themselves in the sand

Pooped kids again

My little chicky loved the ocean so much even though it was freezing cold we could not keep her out of it!

Little surfer girl

This is my new favorite picture she is so tiny and Daddy is so big. Daddy LOVES this little peanut so much! I love it!

Getting zipped around on the boogie boards

We could not keep her out of the water, it did not matter that the water was FREEZING she just loved it.

Kael was so sleepy he fell right to sleep on Papa

I think this is super cute pic of my niece Lexi

Our last night at the camp ground we finally made the trek to the beach that we actually stayed at. I am so glad we did. It was gorgeous so much wildlife, along the way, in the wetlands there was this cut little otter just swimming around looking for some dinner, all the kids got to see him, I think it was one of my favorite moments because he was so close by, it was just so cool! The parents stayed up on the sand bar watching all the kids play tag with the waves, then stinker little Aiden had to get knocked down by a wave and was drenched from head to toe. We carried him back and he fell asleep in the journey. The walk to the beach wore Emma out also.

Auntie Sha sha and Uncle Drew came up for the last night and we had so much fun with them!

Like I said random out of order pic (;

We had such a blast!!! I can't wait till next year to see everyone again!!!

So what have we been doing all summer?

Sparklers

2009-07-10T22:51:00.000-07:00

The night after the 4th we had a BBQ at my mom's house and we decided to light up the rest of the sparklers 20 to be exact (: We had just finished swimming which is why Emma's hair looks the way it does (:

Not quite sure of the sparklers

Little miss poser Emma ( we are growing out here hair)

I let Mylee hold one but then she tried to touch the sparkler par so i had to take it away from her she was not to happy about that, but i don't think she would have been very happy with her hand burned either.

Happy Fourth of July!!

2009-07-10T22:36:00.000-07:00

Ok so The 4th of July is my favorite holiday ever! I love making my kids all match in there red, white and blue outfits. I love the fireworks I love what the fourth means. We had a great day. We had a BBQ with our good friends and cooled off swimming, thanks foe inviting us Brian and Natalie. We had so much fun!!! Then we had In n out for dinner then we met up with some friends at the Apache Junction fireworks. The fireworks were awesome my kids go bored halfway through it though (:

I always have a soda in hand!! (: Such a fun night wish it were a little cooler though (:

Aidens first swim lesson

2009-07-05T22:16:00.000-07:00

Aidens first day at swim this was a few weeks back and I am trying to play catch up. He did really well. Any time we are out swimming now he tells me he is a baby so he can wear his floaties. Its pretty funny. He says "I'n a baby mommy." He cracks us up! Emma also had a refresher course and is once again a crazy little swimmer!

I turn my head for one moment!

2009-07-03T22:03:00.000-07:00

And this is what they do!!! I swear my house never stays clean for more than ten minutes!! Baby powder is so much fun to play with!!

Yes they are cute, but also so very rotten!!!

I am sorry

2009-06-29T22:09:00.000-07:00

I realize that it has been over a month since my last post! I totally suck! but I am so busy!!! I will post pics this week I promise!! I just keep waiting for things to settle down and they never do. So much going on so much happening soon that it just makes life a little crazy!! I will be better I promise!! (;

Memorial day Weekend

2009-05-28T20:37:00.000-07:00

We were able to get away and go to Santa Barbara for the weekend. It was freezing, and so wonderful! I love Santa Barbara it is so beautiful there. I have so many great memories of Santa Barbara and every time I go I get to relive my childhood, it is one of my heavens on earth.

The train ride at the zoo

Not loving her stroller

Checking out the giraffes

So happy

This is what happens when you don't take a nap you crash at 6pm (:

The Goleta Pier I love it! Although it is a little stressful with little ones

So cold but so wonderful!!!

Kaels Graduation

2009-05-28T09:23:00.000-07:00

I cant believe that my little guy has finished Kindergarten. He is such a wonderful little boy and I am so proud of him. Here is a cute video of his performance for his last day of kindergarten

Sorry about the laughter he is just so stinkin cute and I loved the dance!

Kael and his teacher Mrs. Carrasco. She was such a great teacher!

Daddy water Day

2009-05-28T08:32:00.000-07:00

Kaels kindergarten had a fun daddy water day. They had pools, shaving cream, silly string, water balloons, hoses and a few other things I am sure I am missing.

I personally think Kael has the best daddy around!! Thanks daddy for coming and making it a fun day for Kael!!

Emma's Ballet Recital

2009-05-27T00:26:00.000-07:00

I am sorry I am so her mom, I think she is just the cutest little girl ever! I love everything about this sweet little girl. I thought she did such a great job. I am so proud of her for just getting up there and dancing. That is so scary to do especially in front of so many people that you don't know. She is just getting better and better. She cant wait to start up dance again, she told me "mommy I will try the best I can, and do really good at ballet!" Her exact words. Emma you are such a strong willed amazingly cute, silly, energetic, beautiful little peanut. We love you so much!!!

So proud of herself

She is ready to dance!

Pretty ballerina. Emma I just love those big blue eyes of yours. I am so proud of you!

Fast Sunday

2009-05-19T09:03:00.000-07:00

I had almost forgot to blog about my silly little Emma once again. She really cracks me up everyday. Well last fast sunday Josh had to work, so I was all by myself at church. Once Kael realized it was fast Sunday he wanted to go up and bear his testimony, soon after Emma wanted to go to. Well I let Kael go up, and he was really sweet. Then Emma would not stop bothering me. I told her she could only go up if she could go by herself and do it. She said mommy I know how to do it. Well she gets up there and begins, "I'd like to bear my testimony, I know this church is true, I love my mommy and daddy, and brothers and sister". She then leans away from the microphone to look and me and she mouths the words "mommy what's next?" Shocked I just froze for a moment, then she says into the microphone "mommy what do I say now". I try to tell her to just say amen and get down, but of course she cant understand me, at this point everyone has a giggle because she is so stinkin cute! But there was no way that I was going to haul two babies up to the front to help her, then I would be stuck having to give my own testimony, which I was not prepared to do. Finally our 1st counselor in the Bishopric gets up and helps her with the rest of it. I am so grateful for brother Merrill and really helping me out I just could not go up there, it was hard enough not having Josh there. I am really grateful to my brave children for always wanting to go bear their testimony. I wish I had their courage. I always have a testimony in my heart, but going up and bearing my testimony just terrifies me. Oh the memories I am making! (:

Mothers Day Tea party

2009-05-18T09:03:00.000-07:00

Kaels little Kindergarten class had a mothers day tea party for all of their mothers. It was so much fun.

Kael showing us a dance they have been practicing for the end of the year program

So excited that mommy is at school with him

Reciting his sweet mothers day poem

I love this kid, he is getting so big, and a little to smart for his own good. I had such a great time with him.

Father and sons camp out

2009-05-18T08:46:00.001-07:00

My boys went on the Father and Sons camp out a few weeks ago here are the pics from their awesome adventure. Getting excited to leave waiting for daddy to go. I love Aidens face is this picture.

Now they are ready to have fun!

Playing together, getting dirty.

Exploring
This make look like an ordinary box with nothing in it, except that it is the boys tent that I had just bought from Walmart for the camp out with no tent in it!!!! Oh well its a great story and the boys had fun in the car (:

The potato gun

Getting cozy in the tent (; They have the best daddy ever!!!

My pics are out of order oh well. This is Kaels first time riding a bike with out training wheels. it was a giant moment for him and us. He could not wait to show me when he got home.

Only a face a mother could love.

Dirt, food and your best brother what more could you ask for?

Out of order but none the less awesome. Josh slept in the passenger front seat. Poor guy not comfortable at all. The things we do for our little ones. He is the best daddy in the whole world!!!

Hanna Montana

2009-05-11T15:07:00.000-07:00

While the boys left for there father and son camping trip. Emma and I had a night of fun. We went out to eat with Nana and grandpa at Johnny Rockets. Then we walked around the mall and shopped a little till our movie started. We went to see the new Hanna Montana Movie. I was not excited to see it at all. But it actually turned out to be a pretty cute movie. Every time Miley turned into Hanna thats when Emma had to put her wig on. We just bought that wig the day of the movie. Our cousins meet up with us at the movie and the girls had a blast! Then we went home and Emma got to sleep in Mommy's bed. She wanted to stay up late and watch a movie, she fell asleep 2 minutes into the movie on my bed. It was such a fun night!

WOW 9 years already

2009-05-02T19:12:00.000-07:00

I remember my wedding day like it was yesterday. I can not believe that is has been 9 years already. It really does fly when your having fun. It has been an amazing ride. My hubby is amazing, I will brag about this until the day that I die, but he went to school full time worked 2 jobs (one that happened to be back braking), survived on very little sleep, and had a horrible wife that was nagging him constantly about something, and managed to Graduate Valedictorian of his class. I have always believed going to school was the right thing to do for our family and I am so glad that he did, our kids will always be able to say "hey if my daddy did it so can I!" He still is amazing guy to this day, not only does he work all day but he comes home from work, gives our kids dinner, bathes them, puts jammies on them, gives them any kind of medicine they need, reads them a story and helps them say their prayers. He also watches the kids while I go out to get my nails done sometimes I need a break from it all and he realizes that and lets me get my break. He probably does not know how much it means to me by doing all that while I am at work. I never have to worry about how my kids are because I know they are perfectly fine with him. Our partnership is amazing, I just love him to pieces. I think our relationship gets better every year. I love you so much Josh thanks for everything you do for our family. I look forward to celebrating many more years of bliss with you!! We had a great night out for our anniversary. My sister Kimmi took all the kids to spend the night at her house and Josh and I went to our favorite place Bennihana's and then we went and did my favorite thing shopping at the mall with no kids!! That was the best part!! Just us enjoying time together no little ones interrupting our conversation. I love you babe!! I cant wait till next year, its gonna be great!!

Kimmis Birthday

My babies just love there Auntie Kimmi like no other!! She is always so happy to see them and she is such a great helper to me when she is around!! Thanks for being awesome I love you!!

Field trip fun

2009-04-28T13:59:00.001-07:00

So my little man Kael had a super fun walking field trip to the park, that is right next to his school. I picked up their lunches and then I waited for them to come to the park. Kael was so excited to see only me at the park, he got my undivided attention (Thankyou to Rachel for watching my other kiddos for me). Kael and I had so much fun together. Its always nice to get some one on one time with mom, Kael doesn't always get allot of time because he is at school or he gets home and I am busy he needs to do his homework, etc. I could tell he had fun because he kept coming up to me and giving me loves.

Running over to greet all of us.

This picture should be the first one, oh well the kids waiting to cross the street.

Getting ready to plant some seeds

They had a little egg hunt all the kids were allowed to find 2 eggs these were Kaels eggs, with yummy candy inside them.

Playing at the park, man he is handsome!!!

Waiting to look under the microscope

his little plant, he was so excited for this

Kael I love you so much and am so proud of the little sweet smart awesome boy you are turning into!! I had so much fun with you!!!

Owwie Another one for Aiden

2009-04-28T13:51:00.000-07:00

My little Aiden is always getting the owies poor little guy. I guess he was running down our hill and fell down face first instead. It looked so much worse the next day. I thought that his beautiful little face was going to be scarred for life, luckily its just fine.

See that froggy in his hand? Guess how Aiden pronounces the word froggy? Fuckee yes thats right fuckee, every time he says it I tell him the correct way to say it people look at me like what did your kid just say? I am like yeah he's got a foul mouth (; We go to Target quite often and every time we go he wants popcorn and he pronounces popcorn *ucker the whole bad word, yep my kid has the foulest mouth in town! I try to tell him no Aiden its popcorn, POPCORN!! So he will learn to say it the correct way. One day he will! Then the looks hopefully will go away.

Easter Sunday

2009-04-28T09:08:00.001-07:00

What the easter bunny brought the kids

So excited about her bean bag chair!

His boom POD very excited

Candy always Aiden's favorite

My mom got these eggs with confetti in them, the kids had a blast cracking them onto each other's heads

I think he knows he is cool (:

Her pretty Easter dress, I didn't ever have all the kids together in their outfits, oh well they were pretty cute

Mylee and her crazy hair

The hunt out of place pic (: This boy amazes us each day. Before we went to church we had a little lesson about why we celebrate easter and Kael pretty much taught the other kids the whole lesson, he knew all the answers. I will admit I got a little teary eyed.

Mylee did not like getting an egg cracked on her head

The mess good thing Grandpa was out of town or he would have had a heart attack

He liked cracking them on his own head

Mylee watching the kids look for easter eggs

Dying Easter eggs

2009-04-28T08:56:00.001-07:00

The spread, before we began.

Alli showing us her egg she did, Lexi is concentrating on her eggs rather than looking up for a photo op (:

So excited to dye easter eggs

There is Kael always so careful

This is how Aiden dyes easter eggs. He thought it was juice!

Silly little boy, his hands were dyed for a few days, and anywhere I went people would ask me what he did to turn his hands green.

I think the kids had fun. I had fun when it was all done!! (:

Sea world? Again?

2009-04-12T22:10:00.001-07:00

This is how Aiden travels to Sea World shirt off hands behind his head taking a nap. Oh the life!

This is how Drew & Alicia travel, asleep!! How with little Mylee doing what she does best??

Aiden getting ready to touch a ray not so sure

Emma jumping right in to touch the rays

Aiden still not sure about this

Just chillin waiting for a show. I love those baby blues!!

You can't tell in the pic but Aiden is holding a fish getting ready to drop it into a seal's mouth. It was so cool. He loved those seals!

Aiden and daddy

Aiden checking out the sharks in the tunnel he just kept watching them so closely

So excited to be at Sea World they love this place!!

You cant see Emma but she is down in the very front with Uncle Cameron and Danielle she wanted to get wet so they went and sat with her. Now that is just love! I was like nope I want to stay dry!! (: If you look closely you can see Cammy's bald head they are in the dead front!! The pole right in front of them is where the dolphin was.

A dolphin was right in front of her and splashed the crap out of her I mean literally the tail was parallel to Emma she was drenched to the bone! And frozen. I tried to tell her, but then again what does a mommy really know? Maybe next time she will listen. What do you think??

I love these guys!! I am so glad they could go with us!! Cam and Danielle skipped school (on a Saturday) to go to Sea World with us!! I would not have been as fun if they hadn't came!!

Ok I am Sea World pooped!! What's next for the Barron Adventure? Disneyland???

Thankyou to Alicia and Drew for letting us stay with you!! We had so much fun!! Thankyou for all you help with my rugrats you made it so much better!!! When are you moving out here again?

A visit with the BFF

2009-04-12T21:53:00.000-07:00

I cant go to California without visiting my BFF. We arrived on Friday. Called Heather and she was more than happy to go out with us. I had such a blast Heather I am so glad that you went with us!!! Cade and Cooper were at a Laker's game and Heather got a babysitter for Reagan so she got to have a date with Carter. I think he had a blast!
This is everyone eating at Where house pizza
very yummy pizza! But a little chilly we are close to the heater thats above us.
Aiden enjoying his pizza

After eating pizza we rushed over to the movies to see Aliens vs. Monsters. Such a funny movie, I think Josh and I were the only ones laughing at times. I recommend it to anyone that has a sense of humor. If you don't then stay home from this movie.

Heather was a good mommy and put heavy Carter man on her shoulders because all the other kids were on someone's shoulders. You cant tell in the picture but I am standing very awkward ask Heather she laughed the whole time!! This is all of us walking over to 21 choices. Where we got yummy frozen yogurt. It would have been a perfect night if Mylee had thrown up on me and it wasn't baby barf!! I think we might have traumatized some college students in the shop (: Oh well it was so much fun ! By the way isn't Emma beautiful? I made that beautiful little girl!! I just cant get over her pretty face!! (:

Aidens party

2009-04-12T21:45:00.000-07:00

Aiden got a Doctor set he loved it.

Aiden got a shark that had fishes that it would eat, Aiden loved it.

Aiden's very own bike! Also his favorite present

Checking out his very own cake looks tasty!!

Blowing out the candles. Aiden we love you and hope you had a great birthday!!

Mr. Aiden had a birthday!!

2009-04-08T14:03:00.000-07:00

I cant believe my little guy is already 2!! I blink and he is doing something else. I am in love with this kid, you have no idea what he does to me, just with his smile! He tries so hard to be a good boy. Most mornings he is awake before I am but he waits in his bed until I come and get him (he can get out by himself if he wants). I noticed that he got a little grouchy over his binkie so at that moment I threw away all of his binkies. We had one rough nap but other than that he is fine without it. If you ask him where it is he will tell you in the trash. If he asks me for it I tell him nope its in the trash your a big boy now, and that is pretty much it. His vocab is growing more everyday. Right now he says, mommy, daddy, stop it, Emma, bubba (for brother), french fries, juice, ball, shootie (our lizard), MyMy (for Mylee), outside, Alli, Lexi, Abbie, Isaac, Nanna, Bompa (for Grandpa), car truck. The list just keeps going. This age is my favorite age, I love watching him learn new words, or tricks, it amazes me. Aiden is definitely a mommas boy, but if I am not around he likes everyone. He can be sweet and kind, but in the next minute he can be a little monster. One of his favorite words right now is mine. For the most part he is very sweet to Mylee, sometimes he has trouble. Last week we drove to Cali and Mylee screamed for most of the way Aiden kept yelling "STOP IT MYMY!" She didn't listen. (: I cant imagine our home without Aiden in it!

Alicia

2009-04-07T15:54:00.001-07:00

Well my wonderful sister had a birthday a few weeks ago. (I know I am trying to catch up) I just had the opportunity to spend the weekend with her and Drew. I love my sister. She has such a kind heart, she is willing to do anything for you that you need. She helped me so much with my kids. It was actually a pleasant trip because she did so much for me and the kids. Josh was there, but you know how daddy's are sometimes (: The way to my heart is through my children. If you love and treat my children with kindness, then you've got me. I honestly believe that she loves my children as much as I do, or more because she doesn't see them all the time (; It was hard to leave her, she really is my best friend I just love her so much! I wish she would move out here. Every time I talk to her I mention how great it is here and how affordable it is (: I am wearing her down! I love you so much sissy!!! Hurry up and move out here so we can play all the time!!! Your an awesome sister, sorry it took me so long to do your birthday blog!
