I LOVE MUGGLES !!

For pack meeting this month the theme was "Books, Books, Books." So our pack chose to do it all around Harry Potter, and everyone was supposed to dress up. We dressed up as the Weasley family, red hair and all. It was so much fun, we had a sorting hat that gave out the awards, we had "Harry Potter" type cheers. My personal favorite was the "Mrs. Weasley" cheer, we all yelled "if you step on more foot out of line you will come right home", and then we all gave the boy a raspberry. It was so much fun, the boys had a blast and us leaders liked it too.

She has HAIR!!

I was giving Annaka's new "HAIR" a trim, when she started waving her finger at me. I just had to take a picture of my cute little witch.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAMPA!!

Happy Birthday Pampa!!

We love you. You are the Best.

We just wish we could give you a great big hug for your birthday.

10 years and counting....

I can't believe that 10 years ago Brent and I were waking up for our first time as Husband and Wife. We were married on September 26, 1998.

We have had our ups and downs, scary times and struggles, but it has made us a better couple and family.
So for our anniversary we went (by ourselves) to the Happiest place on earth. The same place we went on our honeymoon. We also went up to LA to see "Wicked". It was so fun, but we missed the kids horribly. It is funny how 10 years ago we hopped from big ride to big ride, and this time we went on every ride and missed our kids. "Noah would love this one" or "wow I can't wait to bring the boys!"


Here we are at the Disneyland parade. Wow how we have changed, we LOOK ten years older! I love you Brent Shane and I can't wait for another 10 years. You are my everything! You are a wonderful husband, friend, boyfriend and daddy. To remember a line from when we were dating "You complete me!". I love you Baby!!!

Happy Birthday Annie-Bannie

Happy Birthday to my Little Princess Annaka !!!
I can't believe it has been a year from the first time I got to hold you.

Hip Hooray it's your Birthday today. I sure do love you !!

Choking hazard

I have five children and I KNOW what I should and should not give an 11 month old to eat. But I am all about breaking rules, at least if I am there to watch her choke. Annaka LOVES raisins and popcorn. Two very big NO-No's in the medical field, but she loves them and it is so cute to watch her dainty fingers pick the raisins from the box, or shove the popcorn in her mouth. Good thing I know the Heimlich remover.

First Day of School...

Just like in Finding Nemo, Noah was up at 6:15 because he was soooo excited for school. He even came into my room singing "first day of school, first day of school." All of my children were feed, dressed, had their chores done, and even vacuumed the basement by 7:30, an HOUR before school starts. Oh well, at least they are excited...right?
Parker is in fourth grade and has Mrs. Neeley, who he already loves. I asked what he liked best about his first day and his reply was "in 4th grade you can get seconds at lunch, isn't that awesome." You can guess what his favorite subject is..LUNCH.
Corbin is in 2nd grade and loves school, but was a little nervous about a new teacher. He told me his favorite thing is that he "is the very bestest reader in my class, and my teacher knew my name and didn't yell."
Noah was over excited and it was a very LONG day waiting for 11:15 to arrive. Little did he know that he only got to go to school for a day, and then we will REALLY start next week. Noah's favorite part was "making my birthday bag, and snack, and the movie, and ms. Morton, and ..." I think we get it Noah LOVED all of it.
