Ok so it has been a while and I still want to post about Halloween so that will be coming up next but I just wanted to let you know that we are still alive and what has been keeping me from blogging
first off these four, they keep me busy, they were watching a show and so you can tell how interested they were at looking at me we got down all our little chairs for thanksgiving and they played with them for like a week.Next up family came to visit. my mom and dad came down for thanksgiving. my mom was down one week before that on her own too. kenna looks like a little rag doll compared to cute brylee in this picture but I promise I do do her hair she just likes to pull it out.
Now on top of that owen had a Really bad week. first off he broke his arm in the wrist area then being the nice mom that I am took him 2 days later to get his teeth pulled out. He had to have 4 out because of crowding. his big tooth came in behind his baby teeth. so now we have a homeless looking owen with a broken arm. Nothing could say we beat our child more.
He has a hard cast now that glows in the dark and it only goes part way up his arm.
The good thing is he got rich off the tooth fairy.
Family picture time is fun, but it also causes a lot of stress. We have to keep the kids clean, happy, and listening all at the same time. Its not easy, but I think this year we got some great pictures. We took them while we were in Sandpoint this summer, this was at Memorial Field. Most of these were taken just behind the field, in a little green pathway that made a very good background.
Here is Owen, looking very handsome. We had to keep fixing his hair, its longer and harder to maintain, plus it was super windy.
Gavin was a stinker! He screamed and cried and made it really hard on all of us. But under the right circumstances, Gavin can be a real charmer. He made us work really hard to get a good picture.
Tyson was pretty good for most of the pictures. He was very aware of his hands, and the more we tried to get him to just relax, he seemed to always do something very strange with his hands. He finally got it right though.
Kenna was also very difficult. It didn't help that we were in dirt and grass with Kenna in a little white dress. We loved how this one turned out though, even with some blurry feet.
Tyson and Owen are getting to be such big boys. Sure, this is a little old, but we still thought we ought to let everyone see the excitement they had on their first day of school.
They were so excited to wear their new clothes and their cool new mario backpacks.
Since Gavin got his Muno backpack for his birthday, he wanted to show that he could have a backpack too. He's such a sweetie.
Here is Owen, making some kind of silly pose. Getting good pictures of these kids is kind of hard. Tyson, being handsome and cute. It was a hard day, just knowing they weren't our little boys anymore, but they have had so much fun, and they are great students.
Ok so gavins birthday was a month ago so I thought I should post about it before I forget. To say gavin loves yo gabba gabba would be a dramatic understatement. It is more like obsession. So when planning his party I knew what we would be doing. On the way to Sandpoint we basically watched yo gabba gabba for about 10 of the 13 hours of the drive, but well worth it for the peace and quite it brought us not to mention we love the influence it has over him, if he doesn't want to eat something we all start singing the song," try it and you'll like it" or "there's a party in my tummy" and it will work a lot of the time, at least for one bite.
So here are the decorations, He bought a muno backpack with great grandma and grandpas money so I used it as decoration. He loves his backpack, He wears it everyday when we take the boys to school. The balloons I got from the dollar store and printed off these gabba gabba balloon faces and put them on those, everything else I basically just printed off the computer (cheap decorations)
Ok so we all had the flu on his birthday and if that happens again I will not do sprinkles on the cupcakes, I always take the kid or kids whose birthday it is and let them pick out the cake flavor and frosting and gavin really wanted sprinkles but at 2 in the morning when I was cleaning those sprinkles out of the carpet coated in throw up I was wondering about my choice. I basically printed the characters off line and stuck them on a gumdrop and on to the cake, again we had the flu so I wasn't going to go crazy this birthday.
Gavins hat and a brobee pattern I found online it turned out cute.
Present time!!! toys r us was having a sell on imaginext so that was mainly what he got which he loves we also found a dinosaur one on KSL for 5 bucks and it came with two bags of dinos.
and of course the traditional nose butter. I love this kid. He is so smart and so full of personality. We have been enjoying some alone time with the two older ones in school now and he makes me laugh everyday, it has been an amazing three years and I can wait to see what kind of little boy this kid is. Here are a few videos from his birthday enjoy.
My baby is one, I just cant believe it. This year has been very hard and emotional as well as fun and rewarding. Kenna is a big girl 95% in height and 80% in weight she is a fast learner too. We love having this little girl in our family what joy she brings us. Here is a picture of our traditional birthday nose butter.
Since her birthday was the day before her birthday party we had banana cream pie on her birthday. She enjoyed it!!
We also gave her a few presents, She is already starting to be a girly girl (which I love) we bought her a little strand of fake pearls and she loved them.
We did a combined birthday with my nephew noah since they were only 2 days apart. we had the theme of the hungry caterpillar it was a lot of fun we had two cakes a girly one and a boy one. This is kennas birthday outfit that I made. Did I mention I love having a girl :P
She loves her baby so much she is always feeding it a bottle and patting its back, its so cute.
Next up family came to visit. my mom and dad came down for thanksgiving. my mom was down one week before that on her own too.
kenna looks like a little rag doll compared to cute brylee in this picture but I promise I do do her hair she just likes to pull it out.
