Cameron had a school project where his assignment was to make up a dinosaur, it's habitat and diet. We slowly worked on it trying to come up with ideas and thoughts of what his creation would be. Well, today I went to work and dad was left to tend the kids (he does a great job by the way). I think sometime he lives vicariously through our boys because when I got home I happened to look up on top of the fridge as I drank my milk and saw this huge dinosaur habitat. It was way better than I would have done. And Cameron was really happy with his creation and the help he got from dad. I can tell dad had a fun time too. ;-)

The Pinata.

The pictures pretty much say it all. You can see the kids just waiting in the background, and ....they rush as fast as they can for the candy. It all happened so quickly.

Tyler is 6!!

As promised (rather late), here are the pictures of Tyler on his birthday.
It turned out to be a beautiful day for his party. If we would had had it on Saturday as planned it would have rained. Thank goodness Tyler insisted on having it on his birthday DAY.


We love you kiddo. I want to just pinch your cheeks. You soooo cute!

Some of the guests.

Openning presents. He had a hot wheel party and received lots of Hot Wheel items. He loved it all.

Yes I have pictures

I have yet to post pictures of Tyler's party. I am terrible but at least I take responsibility for my faults. I will post them soon. The party was great. All of his invited school and church friends showed up. Tyler had a blast. I still can't believe he is 6. Everything went well except the pinata. The pinata could have been deadly but thank goodness it wasn't. This is what happen... When it was pinata time, all the kids gathered around in excitement. They couldn't wait for the whole pinata to break and drop all the candy. OH NO, whenever ONE piece of candy would drop ALL the kids would go after it. So the kid whaking the pinata (and clueless of what's going on around him) was still attacking the pinata, not stopping when the others came charging for the one piece of candy. You can imagine the chaos. There were a few near misses on kids heads but by a small miracle no one got hurt. I think I owe some credit to my smart hubby who thought ahead and had the kids use a soft bat instead of a broom stick. Ugh, could you imagine getting hit by a broom stick. I'm glad all the kids escaped safely and had fun.

Tyler's Pinata

My second son is turning 6 tomorrow. I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. What really gets me is my oldest will be 8 this year and will be baptized . Wow!!! I wonder when the heck I grew up and became the mother that I am.(?!!?)

Anyhow, back to my original thought...so Tyler is turning six and he wanted a pinata. Truth is he always wants a pinata, what boy would pass up whacking a beautifully decorated piece of cardboard to smithereens but this year he is especially excited. He is completely aware of the whole birthday party, friends coming over to play, cake and ice cream, presents, and being the center of attention. He whole heartedly deserves his day and I am happy to give it to him. So tomorrow, on his big day, per his request we are having a party for him with a pinata. For FHE Chris thought it would be fun to fill the pinata with candy. The kids we happy to help. We love you kiddo! Happy Birthday.

New Year, New Start

As we near the end of the first month of 2010, I've realized I haven't kept up on one of my goals, and that's to blog more often. The other of course is to workout more often but that's another story.
I want to blog for many reasons but my main reason is to help me become a better writer. It was never one of my strengths, so I figured if I torchered myself to blog often I would slowly become a better writer or maybe I might get worse at it. Who knows? Oh well. It's late and I'm tired and I've done my entry for today. And if the post didn't make sense, you know what your in for, and bless your soul for taking the time to read it.



Bonus: I've manage to upload a picture of my wonderful grandma with me and Mikaela at Gibbel Park, Hemet, CA.

Brothers and Sister

I feel very blessed to have 3 kids that love each other. I rarley worry about what they are doing together and a majority of the time they are playing together and taking care of each other. This is not to say I don't have days when the boys are at each others wits or little sister is not getting in their way and pulling apart her brothers lego creation. We are a normal family and have good days and bad. I'm just happy I have more good and less bad. :-)
