More On the Mountain

Inside Zoey's head....."I don't know that this is such a good idea".....

One of my favorites. Those are some silly faces.

Muggle Quidditch

If you are a Harry Potter fan you HAVE to watch this. It is silly but also the most awesome thing ever! I can't believe this is actually a sport at some colleges. How great!

To Mt. Lemmon We Went

The picture of the sky I must have took when I tripped on a rock and fell. Ha Ha! It was hilarious. I was laughing too hard to get up!How exciting for Grandma and Grandpa to have so many of their grandkids with them!!!

The Big Surprise

We are so excited to have Alexis and Kylie here. Alexis came in on Tuesday night and Kylie just got in tonight. Kylie and Alexis didn't know that the other one was going to be here. Grandma told Alexis that she had to pick up a package for work at the airport. She came back through the security point with Kylie and neither Kylie nor Alexis could believe it. They were both totally surprised and very excited to see each other. I am seriously surprised that all us family kept the secret from the two of them for like 3 weeks. It's so great to have them here and we are excited to spend time with them. Zoey and Noah are so happy to see their cousins and I am happy that all of them get to spend some time together. Kylie was really happy to see Noah and Zoey. They were equally as happy to see her. Kylie seemed a little bummed that Noah didn't really really recognize her but we assured her it would be OK. He just has to remember a little. He is still small. Tomorrow will be a better day anyway when everyone is rested.

My Babies

I love being a mom to Zoey and Noah. They are so much fun and bring so much happiness to my life. They really keep me motivated and they are just so much fun. I love to see them grow and do new things. I love to watch and listen to them play and pretend. They have such vivid imaginations and I love it. They make life fun with just the simplest of things. I love my little crazies!Zoey the superhero having a picnic lunch. She has her blankie cape on and her other blanket on the table like you would for a picnic. She's so silly.Noah smiling with great pride showing his picture. He draws faces so well. My little guy is getting big so fast.

Reading With Jenn

Since the last post had so many good comments about Aunt Jenn I thought I could do a tiny post about her. The kids really do love Aunt Jenn and she is usually so willing to indulge them in whatever it is they want to do. She is good to them and I am glad my kids get to be around her so often.Reading stories to the kids. They are actually sitting still for more than 2 seconds.Noah must be reading a funny story.

What Are You Afraid Of?

I can almost bet you aren't afraid of the same thing Noah is.

I am not kidding! Noah is afraid of the air mattress and the pump. Don't know where the fear came from but he really is terrified of it.

Look at that sad face. He was so not happy that Jenn got the bed out.

"Please put the mattress away!" That's his simple request. He pleads to just make it go away.Aunt Jenn did such a good job of calming Noah and helping him not be afraid. The night before Noah ran into mine and Jay's room, shut the door, and would not come out. By the time she was done this time he was helping her put the bed together. Thanks Aunt Jenn for helping Noah deal with his odd fear!

HMS Pinafore

We had a fantastic time last night seeing this Gilbert and Sullivan show. I hadn't ever seen any Gilbert and Sullivan so it was a nice treat. It was funny and the orchestra was fantastic. Jay, Jenn, and I had a great time. I love seeing shows like this and the ballet and stuff. I am hoping I get lucky enough that I get to see the Sleeping Beauty ballet in May. Thank you Jay for always finding this fun stuff to go to. You are so awesome. Thanks mom for watching the kids so we could have a nice night out.

Happy Birthday Kylie!

I really meant to do this yesterday since it was Kylie's actual birthday but I am making an exception. I just had to dedicate a blog to her and wish her a happy 8th birthday. I can't believe how big you are Kylie. I can remember when you were born and how precious you were. I can remember rushing home from school every day of my senior year so I could swipe you up and love on you. I used to take you everywhere with me and I had so much fun with you. I am so blessed to be your aunt and I love you so much. I wish you weren't so far away but I hope you always know how much I love you. You are such a big girl now and I just can't believe it. I hope your day was wonderful! We all miss and love you so very much. Happy Birthday Lylers!

Can't Get Comfy Fast Enough

Noah plopped down right inside the door from the garage. He couldn't get the tie, shoes and socks off fast enough.
