Happy Halloween!

Well, my kids are officially tired! I think they fell asleep just about when they hit their pillow! We did lots of Trick or Treating tonight. This was my first year taking them, usually I get to pass out candy. We had lots of fun! Thanks to my wonderful Mother in law who came and handed out candy and watched Kira, we were able to go for a long time.( Dave was working the U game so I was flying solo!). The kids could barely wait until 6:00 to get going.Luke only wore about half of his Jedi costume, but he still looked cool. Jenna was a witch and Kira was a ladybug. After about an hour and a half,we took Luke home, he was so tired and stopped carrying his bucket so I knew it was time for him to be done. Jenna and I went for about another 45 minutes, so we have lots of candy! At one house Jenn got to pick some vampire teeth or bubbles. Or course I chose bubbles for Luke, who was at home. So instead of being happy that I brought him something, all I heard the rest of the night was how I messed up because I didn't get him the vampire teeth! He didn't care about the candy the teeth was all that he wanted. Finally, just before bed he gave me a hug and decided that the bubbled were ok. I love that boy! I had such a fun time with the kids! It is so awesome to be part of the fun!

Luke wouldn't smile because he was so upset about his bubbles!! Even all that candy couldn't make him happy!

Jenna and her loot! She would have gone for hours more had I let her.

Kira was trying to get her share of candy!

My little witch with Anikan Skywalker.

My little ladybug! She wasn't too happy about her costume, she only wore it on Monday at my family party. She still is cute!

Happy Halloween!!

A birthday, Pumpkins and Kangaroos, can it get any better?

I'm back! Thanks to Dave for going to a game night, I have a minute to update my blog. I always forget the the pictures go backwards from how I upload them, oh well. They are not totally in order.

This is our family plus one extra( can you guess who?) at the Pumpkin Patch. It was a little dark but we had a blast! The kids love to run around the maze and pick their own pumpkin.Kira was giggling when she saw all of the pumpkins, she was certainly more fun than last year when she was only a few weeks old! Jenna and Luke picked what they thought were HUGE pumpkins! Grace was able to get a medium sized one too. We had lots of fun! I love this time of the year!!! Anyway, it is a fun tradition that the kids won't let us forget!

Today we went to Kangaroo Zoo. The kids played their little hearts out! It was so fun to see how brave they are getting on the BIG slides. Luke was certainly proud of himself! Jenna was doing "cool tricks and turns" in the bouncy house. They love that place, they are sleeping soundly right now because of it!

This is Kira trying out Kangaroo Zoo! At first she was so excited, until she fell down! After that she was a little more careful around anything that bounced~! She certainly is my busy bee! She crawled all around at Kangaroo Zoo and I spent most of my time chasing her! I have to remind myself that is the life of a crawler! She had a great time and wore herself out too! That is the best thing about that place.

Happy Birthday to Kira! I can't believe that she is one! All of the sudden she has grown up so much, it's crazy. This is her enjoying her cake. At first she looked at us like we were crazy to give her a big piece of cake. She started by taking little tiny bites at a time. But it didn't take long for her to discover the chocolaty goodness and she started just shoving it into her face! Very cute! It was interesting to watch her at her party because unlike my other kids when they turned one, Kira was happy and enjoyed her party! Every time she opened a gift, she hugged it and giggled! It was so adorable! It was fun to celebrate the milestone of my baby girl!

One Day Too Many!

Well, I guess too many days have passed since I have blogged! I was threatened that I would be deleted if I didn't update soon, so here I am! I am just trying to keep everyone on their toes!
So, how do I summarize the last six months, I think that is impossible! We started and finished our basement, all in about six weeks. It became known as the money pit around our house. Once you finished something, there was something else that need our money! But it is all finished and I love it! The kids have more places to play. Although Jenna said that the playroom is too old now and no fun to play in! The novelty certainly wore off fast!

Jenna is now in first grade! She is doing wonderfully well! Her teacher says she finished her work among the first in the class and is very well behaved! I get to help out once a week at school, I love seeing her with her friends at school. I also am the parent coordinator for her teacher, I am not sure what I got in to when I agreed to do it! Just one more thing to keep me busy!I am very proud of her! She can read just about anything and is loving dance and playing soccer too. She has scored to awesome goals this season so far! It is so fun to see her getting it and understanding the world of soccer.
Luke is doing preschool two days a week. He loves every minute of it! We are doing a neighborhood preschool co-op. So all the moms teach once every seven week. We do a field trip every month as well. He can't wait to go to the fire station at the end of the month because he says he wants to be a fireman when he grows up. He told me the other day that I am not big like He and Jenna and daddy because I don't go to school and work, I just stay home. Sometimes I wish that were the case! He also said that he is big because he can buckle himself and pee standing up! he is constantly making me laugh! The other day he yelled down to me and said, " Mom! Jenna is breaking the commandments, she didn't flush the toilet!" Oh, I love my boy!

Jenna playing soccer. She is number three and on the blue team, they change their name every week.!

I love this picture! My mom gets to play with us every Monday while we watch Grace and Hannah and all the kids! We have fun and Kira loves her grandma Cham!

The biggest news is that I have a crawler!! Kira broke the mold and is a crawler! She is a cute little trouble maker now. I can't get anything done while she is awake. She is the most curious and busiest of all my kids! She is now one! I can't believe it! She has four and a half teeth. She says Mama and dada and she loves it when I say baba(bottle)! She gets so excited! Whenever she hears music she immediately starts swaying back and forth! She has rhythm! She also loves her mama so much! It makes me happy! I love that cute bug!

Well, I am done for now, I can't sit here for long, it drives me nuts( i know short drive) to sit at the computer for a long time. So I guess I am done until next time, whenever that may be!!
