Sleep over

To start out the summer Allie and Brielle had a sleep over at our house, it was fun for them to be together. They were so silly and i had fun with them. We went to the dollar store then we got pizza, came home and ate and played with the little toys they bought. I love so very much having cousins that are the same age as my kids, Allie and Brielle have always been such good close friends, being the same age has been so fun for them and i hope they will always love each other like they do know. I love you girls!!

Kindergarten graduation

Brandon, Allie and Andrew

Today Allie graduated from Kindergarten,what a fun, exciting and emotional day for me. I am so proud of her, she is a very smart, and has grown so much in so many different ways. Allie has always kept us on our toes since the day she was born. She was born at 31 weeks and only weighted 2 lbs and 15 oz, she is a miracle and i am so thankful that she is here in our lives. We were always told that she would have learning disabilities, and i think that she heard them tell me that cause ever since then she has proved them wrong. When she came home from the hospital they set her up with an early intervention program were they come to your house until the baby is one years old, well they quite coming to our house to see Allie when she was 6 months old cause she was right were she needed to be. Then the NICU does a follow up clinic until they are 3 and she was done with that early and was ready for more. Allie has always been ready for any challenges that you give her and most of the time succeeds if it means learning more. Allie has also always been a good friend to everyone, the first time that i helped out in her class one of her teachers stopped me and said what a good girl she was, cause she is always playing and including everyone. She has always been very social and loves people unconditionally. Allie we are so proud of you and love you very much, your are such a special girl and a blessing in our lives.

Few and Far between

Brandon,Addy,Allie,Kyler &Austin

It's finally feels like summer for a few days, so we took advantage of it. There is always 10 or more kids in my back yard during the summer that are close to the same age they play so well and have so much fun, and i love it cause i know right were my kids are and they have a blast. Well we decided that we would get the pool out and swim. It was so nice and everyone enjoyed it, the day was perfect for a swim. The kids would swim in the cool water then they would jump on the tramp to warm up and then back to the pool to cool off. It was a so nice and i enjoyed have them all there.

I am learning

Austin has been cominghome from school the last couple of days singing this song. It makes me so proud of him he is so smart, and learning so much. Every time he gets home from school i ask him what he learned, and his comment is always, "i don't remember", so me i kept wondering if he was learning anything or if he was just not at all interested in telling me. Well this lets me know that he has learned lots and he is holding out on me. I tried this video three times before he got serious, he would mess up on purpose, then laugh. We enjoy his sense of humor, he is just like his dad, NEVER SERIOUS.

Happy Mothers Day!!!

I am so very grateful today for the mothers that i have in my life. Sometimes it feels like i have to many mothers, but that is not possible. All the mothers in my life have such great knowledge of being a mother and caring for a family. I am so very grateful for my own mother, she is the best mom,wife,aunt,grandma, and friend. I have to say that my mom is my best friend i cant imagine a day with out her. I can talk to her about anything and she gives me her motherly advise. I can pick up the phone and call her (even a million times a day) and she still is patient and loving. Then i have the best grandma who also gives me her great mother advise. What a neat mother,wife and grandma she is , she love her kids and grand kids so much. I admire her classiness she is so classy always dressed nice and smells good and is always willing to help out in anyway she can. Last is my aunts, i feel real blessed to have my aunts so close, they are such good examples of mother to me, they are also always so willing to help out in anyway they can and are so loving, what unselfish mothers they are. All these moms in my life make me want to be a better person, wife and mother. I couldn't be more blessed and hope that i can be as good as moms as you guys. I love you all so very much.

Cinco de mayo

I have not celebrated Cinco De mayo before until last night it was so fun, Jessica invited us to a party at her house, she made tacos, rice, salsa, and lots of other good food, she also had games for the kids that were way fun, and last of all the kids got to break a pinata. The first game that they played was toss the tortilla shell the one closest to the star received a prize and Allie won that one, the next game she played was pin the tail on the donkey the kids had fun with that also. My favorite was the dessert Natalie made fried ice cream it was so yummy i am going to make it today and i will probably eat it all by myself. I was not very good at taking pictures, but i did get one of Allie. Thanks Jessica it was way fun!!!
