Family Twister Night

Savannah got Twister for her birthday in May and has been wanting us to play it as a family ever since and being the wonderful parents we are we are just now getting around to playing it in October. I guess I should at least be glad we did it before her next birthday. :)

Sariyah and Savannah laughed the whole time.

Savannah really enjoying herself.

Blaize getting in on the action!

Oh the fun!!!

Don't fall.

The rest of us played as well. Steve and I made it through about 2 rounds. Remembering how flexible children are and we aren't. Sienna played once and then fell asleep. Austin also joined in on the fun and he and I were a team once and he managed to knock me over. We all had a great time.

Blaize's 2nd Birthday Party!

Yesterday we celebrated Blaize's Birthday even though it isn't until tomorrow the 7th. Grandma Jerome was moving back to Las Vegas today (very sad about this) so we celebrated yesterday before she left. He is going to be 2 tomorrow and I can hardly believe he is that old already.

Blaize opening presents. His favorite things in the whole world are anything that moves especially cars and trains. He has this thing about watching the movie cars at least once a day for the past week and so we had a cars birthday party.

Opening the paper which he did a very good job at. This gift was Cars books which Grandma gave him and it took us a good 5 minutes to get him to open another because he was so excited by the books.

He then got a train of which he started singing the song All Aboard the Choo Choo Train (which is one of the short disney clips between shows. It was very cute.

He got the cars from Daddy and Mommy that I put on his cake. The banner on the front said Happy 2nd Birthday Blaize but as you can see it stuck to the frosting pretty good and the oils leaked through. He loved it the first thing he did even before blowing out the candle was to take the red Lightning MacQueen car off and lick it.

As you can see he has the car in his hand and the candle is not blown out yet he wasn't so sure what to do abou that. All in all he had a great birthday and loves his cars, books and train. Happy Birthday Blaize we love having you in our family!

Sienna's Halloween Projects!

Sienna and mommy have started having at least one day a week for preschool together and along with working on colors, shapes, math and alphabet I try to have some fun project or activity for us to do and this is what we did last week. Sienna made spiders out of pipe cleaners, googly eyes and puff balls. We then decided to hang them on the front porch post and they turned out very cute we are going to make more for the other post out from and around the door.

Sienna was really excited for her sisters to come home and see what she had done and sure enough when they came home they noticed them and loved them too!

We also made pumpkins which we hung in the window but the light outside againt the windows makes it a little hard to see them but she really had fun making them.

Sienna's First Apple Pies!

One of daddy's co-workers has apple trees and brought some into work to share. Daddy brought a bag full home so while Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Holly and Abbie were here Sienna and mommy decided to make apple pies for Aunt Holly's birthday. Sienna had a lot of fun baking with mommy and she did and excellant job rolling out the dough for the crust as you can see she had a lot of fun.

Gotta love all the beautiful flour makeup she has on!

Here is the finished product ready for the oven and they turned out really yummy everyone enjoyed them alot including Austin who decided to take the last two pieces to school with him one morning.

Puyallup Fair 2009

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

While Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Holly and Abby were visiting just a week ago we all went to the Puyallup Fair and had a great time the kids got to ride alot of fun rides, eat all kinds of great food, and see animals and hold a real human brain. The kids all got tatoos as well which was fun for them. Sariyah even surprised us and went one of the bigger rides and had a blast.

Puyallup Fair with the Older Kids

Steve and I took the three older kids to the Fair so that we could move around with out having to worry about the little ones. Sariyah, Savannah, Austin and I took the shuttle bus to the fair from the mall close to our house and met Steve at the fair. Steve was already there because he had to run a booth for work for a few hours. Savannah had never been on a city bus before so this was pretty exciting for her.

Sariyah on the bus being a goof!

Savannah and Mommy on the Giant Slide!

Sariyah and Savannah always like the twisty bear.

Austin and Sariyah love the swing ride and Savannah decided to try it out this year. She was tall enought to go this year. She did really well and wanted to go again after she got off even though she closed her eyes and held on tight more then once. Mommy went on the swing ride with her the second time she went. The swing is normally one of my favorites too but I got a little dizzy this time but still had a good time. All in all we had a lot of fun with the older kids and hope to do this again with them next year.

First Day of School 2009

Savannah going into 1st grade and Sariyah into 4th Grade both have an apple for their teachers!

Savannah is very excited about 1st grade and being able to go to school all day and take lunch to school.

Sariyah is really looking forward to seeing her friends!

Sariyah in the bus too!

Have a great first day at school girls. Austin also started Jr. High today he is now in the 7th grade and therefore to big for pictures according to him. He is going to learn to play the Alto Sax this year I hope he has a great day as well and know that he will enjoy going to many classes during the day instead of just one. Mommy too is excited for the first day of school now I feel I can get back into a routine and spend more one on one time with the little ones before they get to big to want to spend time with mommy. Definitely quieter around here and I am loving it but I also can't wait til they all get home and tell me about there first day!
