From Baby to BIG girl....

Ky is now 3. Man the time has gone by! one minute she wanted a binky and a sipper cup, and now she wants baby dolls and dress-ups. it just gets more and more fun with her...although it gets more and more dramatic as well. she is a fun girl and i love her so much, wouldn't trade a thing!

PreSchool Graduation and last day of school!

here is wyatt at his graduation. it was so much fun. he had a really fun year and met so many new friends that he will go on to kindergarten with. i can't believe that he is going to be in elementary! wow!!!

here is paxton and some of his friends @ field day. it was a fun filled day with relay races, chalk art, dancing and laughing. paxton loved first grade, he was sad to say goodbye to his friends...but especially his teacher. she was wonderful!

Gotta love a good party!
i love any reason to celebrate, and this was the perfect reason to do just that...my mom's birthday. my grandma had the great idea to have everyone get together and go to a play for my mom's day, but you can't go out without dinner right??? el madador here we come!

hello kitty never looked so good!

my sweet little ky loves her big girl panties. i think she was just a little confused on HOW exactly to wear them. don't worry though, we got her all straightened out. and the best part is...she is 100% potty trained, even at night. i am thrilled. she was by far the easiest of my three kids! girls rock!

my sweet dubby is 5!i can't believe that he is five...really? where has the time gone. at four was still my little boy, but at five he is now a big kid who will be starting school this fall. i am starting to feel like i need to reminisce about all his cute, fun things he used to say and do. please tell me that the year of five is going to be fun and cute too!
we had a really good time today with all of wyatt's celebrations. he had is first "friend" party. it was so cute. he wanted to go bowling. so up to weber state we went. can i just tell you what a deal it was...if you go on a week day between 3-5 it is happy hour and each game is only a $1.90 and then $1 to rent shoes. but if your kids are 9 and under the shoes are free. what a steal. it was so fun and the kids loved it. it was an easy enough party that he might be able to talk me into doing another one next year.
i love dubby so much and am so grateful he is in my family. my life just wouldn't be complete without him. Happy birthday, Wyatt!!!

better late right?

sorry i am just getting around to posting our halloween pictures. i can't believe how fast time is flying by. well let me just tell you...wyatt was the mastermind behind these costumes this year. he wanted to be peter pan so bad for halloween (which i was so for, his alternative was a zombie, how would i have done that, besides i want him to stay cute for as long as i can get him to be). so once he decided, he informed paxton that he was going to be a pirate and to round out our peter pan characters, ky was to be tinkerbell. it turned out good and the kids has a great time. i am so proud of paxton for being such a good sport! not many big brothers would let their little brother pick out their costume! Paxton aka "Captain Hook/pirate"
Wyatt aka "Peter Pan"

Kysa aka "Tinkerbell"

One big Happy family!

Witchespalooza...

we finally had our Witch party that was one year in the making...last year my mom came up this idea to have a witch party. she was so excited about it. so the planning begun.

for our first annual party we decided to decorate witch hats. i wasn't so sure how it was going to go, but it was a total success. everyones hat turned out so cute and different. i was really happy with how mine turned out too.
here are the party planning people. my mom, me, steph, and kate. the party was so much fun, but the getting ready for it was just as much fun. what a great looking bunch of witches huh? it was fun to see what costumes everyone came in. i really liked mine. my wonderful mom helped me make it.

the three witchy sisters! me, steph, and kate

this picture isn't very good, but we all went to breakfast at midnight, dressrd in our witch costumes and newly decorated witch hats. it was so much fun. you should have seen how packed the resturant was. we had so many stares and questions of what 16 grown women were doing dressed as we were and at village inn no less! we had so many fun laughs.

after eating we went back to my moms and had a sleepover. although we didn't really sleep. we ended up going to bed at about 3am! it has been a really long time since i have stayed up that late. when we woke up we ate homemade cinnamon rolls, chocolate milk and fruit...yum. but we can't forget the awards we gave out to each witch. everyone left with a "witch" themed gift!

i can't wait for next years party. it will be fun to see what fun and creative things my mom comes up with!

Mostly Sweet...

here is ky. she is a fun little girl. i am very glad she is mine, and this was one of those times when she reminds me just how lucky i am to be her mom. not always is she the sweet, charming ky that we know and love, but this day she gave me a sweet little gift...

we were having a great time watching paxton's soccer game and out of the blue ky jumps in my lap and says in her cute muttled two year old voice, "me duv you mom". talk about melting my heart. this was the first time she said she loved me without me have to pry, bribe, or tickle it out of her.

ps. i have mis-placed this jacket that she is wearing. if i happened to have left it at your home, would you kindly give me a call. thanks so much!

gardner village
here we are at gardner village. it was during the wee-witches weekend...so much fun. we were getting some inspiration for our witch party that was to be held the next weekend.
thanks girlys, i had a fantastic time and can't wait to do it again next year.
