Josh's Birthday!!

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

This is my beautiful friend Jana and the back of my friend Stephs head, she was checking out some pics (:

Some of the men chatting it up

More friends

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

The many candles on Josh's cake

I could not fit all the candles on the cake or I would have burned my finger (:

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

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

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!!

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

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

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!! (:
