Saw this now I want one.

I've recently started reading Stephanie Nielson's blog or NIE NIE. She is Mormon and was in a horrific plane crash that left her burned on 80% of her body. Her survival story and her life is a true inspiration to me. I enjoy reading her daily blog. She even inspired my Halloween theme for this year.
Today she posted about the Madsen Bike and I had to learn more. How funky cool are they. I could totally picture myself riding one with Mikaela and Tyler in the bucket at the beach. Cameron would probably want to ride on his own, and I'm cool with that.
I'm trying to win one now so here is the link.

2010 Avocado Festival

Pony rides, I love(d) pony rides. They are sweet ponies with big eyes, and soft hair. It's been a while since I've been able to ride a pony but now my little girl gets to enjoy them. Looks like she's having a great time.

Our small city had their annual Avocado festival today. FREE bounce houses and pony rides. Who's going to say no to that! My boys and a friend enjoyed jumping for 3 hours! I wish I had thier energy. I hope they sleep well tonight.

Potty Training

Why does potty training have to be difficult sometimes? My 3 year old girl will not potty train and it's driving me nuts. She was doing pretty well to do #2 but now she refuses and I'm at my wits end. At least I am today....

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.
