School Days

We did or I guess I should say I did it, we made it through summer. This summer was crazy and that is an understatement. I really didn't think I was going to make it through this summer it was hectic and crazy and made me want to cry some weeks. But now we are back to the blissful days of schedules and school. I LOVE the fall it is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the cool feeling of the air and the excitement of the up coming holidays.

My kids were so excited to head back to school, back to their friends and fun. They are thrilled with their new teachers. Alyssa is thrilled to be at the Jr. High this year even though she is only in 5th grade...she even gets a locker. Avery loves her new teacher and each day is an adventure.

Here are few 1st day of school pics of the brood. Enjoy~

My girls are IN LOVE with Justin Bieber and they were telling Aidan to pose like him during the pics...this apparently is his interpretation of Justin Bieber. HILARIOUS!

Happy Birthday Avery

Today this sweet loud fun loving girl of mine turned 7. She has such a fun loving, quirky, crazy, spirit, but is caring and sweet all at the same time. I have never meet someone who loves Ramen noodles, Popsicles and dressing like a diva and acting like one so much in my life. She has goals to be either on American Idol and if that doesn't work out she is sure she will they will take her as a judge. She is a joy to have around and we hope she has had a fantastic birthday! Enjoy~

Funny Story

So yesterday I walked into my bathroom to find my 2 year old with his feet dangling over the edge of an empty bath tub. I said "What are you doing buddy?" He say "Just fishin" I said " Are you catching anything?" He says "Nope" So then I look and he is using for a fishing pole a Platex Tampon. It is brand new mind you. But he has the plastic applicator side facing him and the string side hanging into the bathtub waiting to catch the big one. Now just to complete the vision for you he is wearing a pair of pajama pants and one of those shirts that they give you in the hospital that say you were delivered by Dr. Whoever well the shirt is way to small and one of girls stuck it on him so basically it is now a belly shirt so he is sitting there with his entire gut hanging out. Ya might be a red neck if.......

What a kid!

Happy Birthday Alyssa

On Monday this beautiful girl that is all mine turned 10! I can't hardly believe that time has flown by so fast and that we have been lucky enough to have her in our lives for so long. She is a joy to have and such a wonderful help to me in my day. I could go on and on and I will. When I actually do a formal B-Day post. I just wanted to post this darling picture I took of her on her big day in a new out fit she got from her Grandma Libby. She is getting so big she looks all growed up. Enjoy~

Church is DANGEROUS!

So last Sunday at church Ron had to speak because he has recently been called to YM President. So of course Aidan found this very exciting and kept SCREAMING "Yeah Dad" so I thought I better exit to the foyer not that I make it through any of my sacrament meetings anyway BUT hey wishful thinking right? SO I was out in the Foyer along with the other tortured parents trying hard to listen to my hubby give his talk over the speaker while Aidan was running from the door to the our neighbor Kellan who was on the couch. Kellan is a Senior in High School and in Aidans mind one of his best friends. He LOVES our neighbors! Anyway I was trying to listen to Ron's talk over Aidan yelling "Kellnan, Kellnan, Ready, Set, Go!" at which point he would run to him Kellan would lift him up set him back down and the process would start over again. Normally I would never allow this kind of behaviour but I think there is a point you reach in your life where you just give up. You are just like "Whatever" and that was this particular Sunday for me. Well let it be a lesson to me because the next thing I know my baby is falling face first into the side of the couch. I quickly pick him up and just kind of give him the "Be a Big Boy Pep Talk" at which point he starts bleeding. My neighbor starts heading up to the bathroom I quickly follow. The first bathroom I come to is the men's I just head right in lucky for me no one was in there so here I stand with my bleeding 2 year old and my 18 year old neighbor. I am sure if someone did walk in they would think WHAT THE HECK! Anyway we got the bleeding to pretty much slow down and almost stop but by the time I got to the bathroom his nose had doubled in size and started turning purple. So after Sacrament I of course go on into find Ron with my blood covered baby oh the joys of motherhood. I took him to the doctor the next day and sure enough it had a small break. Here is the picture to the damage done. He also ended up with a nasty rug burn on the tip of his nose. All I can say is raising a boy is a lot different than raising girls. Crazy Kid!

This is the pose I guess you get when you ask your 2 year old to give you when you want to have them show you his broken nose.
