I was so proud of her and felt so happy for her. All of her hard work and dedication paid off. Her goal was to at least win talent. I was so lucky to be able to teach and choreograph for this amazing girl.

Doesn't she look gorgeous? We are all wondering how in the world does she get her hair to look that perfect and shiny!!! Care to share your secrets?

It will kind of be the theme of our life this year. Chad is busy working 2 jobs and has used up vacation days! <div>So I packed up the three kids myself, loaded the trailer (ok. Richard helped my hook it up to the car: Thanks, your the best), packed the trailer with food, sleeping bags, entertainment and all things required for camping. And I pulled that darn thing for 5 hrs. to our destination. Along with my 3 children, my mom and sister Jilayne accompanied me in the car. Much appreciated. </div><div>(side note: I think I stressed out all the men in my family by doing this. They all offered to pull it for me. I'm not sure if it was because they wanted to help, or because the thought of a "little girl" (which I know they still think of me that way) pulling a trailer for 5 hrs. for the first time scared the h*** out of them) But I did it, and I pulled it back too!! )</div><div>Since I was single moming it, I had a hard time remembering to take pictures of all the things we did there. So Abbie decided she will take over the camera. Bet you can't guess which pictures she took. ;-) If you look closely Dee and Di are all dressed up in their western gear in one of these photos. They are so fun and did help me out a lot. I wish I would have had someone take a pic. of me pulling that darn trailer. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Some of the adventures we did: Horney toad and Lizard hunting (lucas is holding one of these in his photo, along with his pretty hair do, I had the hardest time keeping that dang hair out of his face.) Four wheeler rides, visiting the town, eating, cleaning, eating again, Cleaning one more time, the kids took up photography, Tanner and Nic finally got to watch True Grit, and probably the hardest thing I did the whole time there was taking the kids down to the showers and getting them clean, only to take them back to the dirt to undo the clean. Ha ha. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I am so glad we got to go, it was so fun for the cousins to all be together and am so lucky to have family close so we can do these kind of things together. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT4y9Nc6mvPY1EVZVd1c7ZxZM6tBIxzsKTrf9NOcgwWAjfWa__qizY6jZEXmuTShhxcLpySr5JHe7Gy3HRQqtYp5Z_xD4s9s14BSCoE0YbZE7tw9tE8eS8WJbIl4u5RXKiWxIY1wlQmxPo/s1600/IMG_0209.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left;

He has been so dang busy I would have to stop everyone once in a while to make sure he was still an occupant in our home. The reason he has been so crazy busy is besides his current job, he has decided to start a new business of his own!!! So that has come with many out of town and country trips (besides the ones he does on a regular basis every 2weeks for his 1st job) many sleepless nights and a lot of stress. He is doing an amazing job though and I am so thankful for having such an ambitious husband. With more trips already planned for 2011 I can guarantee this next year will fly by just as quickly.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I am still doing what I have always done. I manage the household, am a chauffeur, nurse, therapist, <b>mom</b>, <b>wife</b>, house cleaner, cook (although not a very good one), dance teacher and choreographer, hair stylist (just to my kids, but I take it very serious), planner, ward chorister, babysitter and just a one of a kind down to earth woman (Ha Ha not really but a girl can dream right?). Sometimes I love it and and sometimes not so much. But wouldn't trade it for anything else. I am a lucky gal!!!</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tanner turned 9 this year and started 4th grade. So weird (I still think I am a 21 yr. old newly wed). He loves his teacher and had met a lot of new friends at school. He is still way into to drawing and I finally have put him in art lessons. He loves it and would stay there all day if he could. He also got into Tennis and Golf this year and has really liked them. Hopefully we can add skiing to that list soon!</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Abbie, oh man where to start. Well she turned 8 this year and started 2nd grade. She is every thing you would think a girl to be and then some. She is dancing this year again and also taking gymnastics. Which keeps her busy Mon-Thurs. but rarely complains about it. Only when the time change happened and it was dark outside when gymnastics got out, then that became quite a struggle. She helps a lot with Lucas and brings such an energy to the home.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Lucas just turned 3 in oct. and he is a not stop tornado. He has finally picked up on talking and now we all wish he would have waited at least a little longer. He never stops talking (which most the time is bossing me around) He loves Ironman and Buzz Lightyear and makes me fly him around the house while he sings each of the theme songs. He is so fun though and is always making my day.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> So when I figure how to get some pics up of our christmas (old camera) that will be my next post. </span></div></div>Jaimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04668076222429044752noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824285625223182508.post-80455009781747344232010-08-25T21:20:00.000-07:002010-08-25T21:25:04.758-07:00Where on Earth???<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15.8333px; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Yes, it is official. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15.8333px; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I HAVE FALLEN OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

I was just enjoying the time with Lucas.<br />So here is the story. Lucas had been going to Kids Who Count to work on his speech. It's a play group that is twice a week. From time to time they will have field trips!!!! The zoo was one of them and the best part, we didn't pay a dime or penny :) the other best part is that the other two kids were in school so I didn't have to find a babysitter or bring them with. It was so fun to just be with Lucas. So since Chad could not go I invited the next best thing to a husband, my sister and best friend!!! She brought her boys and here is the third best part, the boys (all of them) never made a sad, unhappy face or sound the whole time. They loved it and were sooo happy. And the whole zoo trip in and out took all of 1 hr and 45 min. Ya baby!!! Record time So there you go the Best and perfect zoo trip ever :) So here are the few pics I took, I guess I should have taken more but the important part to me was being with Lucas and that was hard to do if I had the camera in my hand the whole time!!!Jaimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04668076222429044752noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824285625223182508.post-2750079144228352002010-05-10T14:48:00.000-07:002010-05-10T14:57:28.970-07:00This is my new motto!!This is the words of the Chorus to my new favorite song.

I know you'll get a kick out of this!! Tanner had such a hard time deciding what he wanted to be and he kept saying he wanted to be a girl. Chad was a little apprehensive about this. (go figure) I felt like being a girl was a little boring so I thought "Hey! I should get out my old cheer uniforms and see if they would work" Well guess what? They actually fit him!!! So a SFHS cheerleader he was, the best part? It was free :) <div>Abbie was a fairy and a beautiful one at that, don't you think? Yes I painted her face, not too bad for an amateur (should of had tanner do it, he's the artist)</div><div>Lucas was a skeleton, he is the hardest kid to get a picture of. O-well you get what you get!! It was a fun day and I actually enjoyed taking the kids out trick or treating. Now what to do next year? mmmm I think I'll need some ideas :)</div>Jaimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04668076222429044752noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824285625223182508.post-81851882326944654622010-02-08T14:30:00.000-08:002010-02-08T14:45:05.061-08:00Tanner's baptism<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTCk8HDIcfD8OKKlItd-E8ELX47iUSANxQ9ReAwMfAzqSE_fnPRJ4bcPaRREzIFIBQTw21m1YHmO6m1oi2OL-kWhOqR5I-tHV3nw8Q5idRdZ23dZs1ZD3SyXyXjAHA_ia5B7-dCQwkKu_3/s1600-h/6834_1221186095549_1405838004_622093_6744701_s.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 86px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTCk8HDIcfD8OKKlItd-E8ELX47iUSANxQ9ReAwMfAzqSE_fnPRJ4bcPaRREzIFIBQTw21m1YHmO6m1oi2OL-kWhOqR5I-tHV3nw8Q5idRdZ23dZs1ZD3SyXyXjAHA_ia5B7-dCQwkKu_3/s320/6834_1221186095549_1405838004_622093_6744701_s.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436004435348846370" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3lo9Nj6MTJgKD_90c5yFnoVS7PPcehyphenhyphen5dMCMKmjGjk8BN-iFRiAY6POgX8POvuINPzoizDADvdtAcIdXnoqzdmjFO1YXfkDPMrx1vFpwrpAyUf9qZZKK_yIfK1Tj-lZXGLjR7kDXeGE0f/s1600-h/hawaii+09+293.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3lo9Nj6MTJgKD_90c5yFnoVS7PPcehyphenhyphen5dMCMKmjGjk8BN-iFRiAY6POgX8POvuINPzoizDADvdtAcIdXnoqzdmjFO1YXfkDPMrx1vFpwrpAyUf9qZZKK_yIfK1Tj-lZXGLjR7kDXeGE0f/s320/hawaii+09+293.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436004284830461506" border="0" /></a><br />So way back in Sept. 09 Tanner became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Whew! long title, but something of great importance to us and our family. <br />He was so excited to get baptized. He was baptized and confirmed by Chad (his father) with many family members who hold the priesthood as well. It was so amazing how strong I felt the spirit there that day. I am so thankful that I have a husband who was worthy to perform such an important ordinance. <br />Unfortunately I was not able to take to many pics, silly me, forgot to charge the camera the night before. Duh I am so glad my sister in law Shaunna came prepared and snapped a few pics of Chad and tanner in their white clothes just before being baptized. Whew! it seems my sister in laws always come to my rescue with the picture taking thing. <br />Tanner had taken this, being a member of the church very serious (which he should be) and is always making sure to repent if he as done something that he know the Lord, or his parents feel is not Choosing the Right. Which is like getting on the computer in the morning, which I told him is a no no since he should be getting ready for school instead. He is such a good kid. I am so blessed to have him in our family.Jaimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04668076222429044752noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824285625223182508.post-42516202376986190712010-01-26T20:35:00.000-08:002010-01-26T21:02:35.603-08:00Lucas turns 2 !!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5GZstRVaiH57vwL4qLLKdCTDWnwhKtOYb4ihxq0pTo1WVj92NpV_lH78Rwbn0e7WMkLo7xQWQI2roI85qSJtI3iuqvzulah260OsRaGDPI6Nwm0Nq1iXBz-RAEdhKHyasPwPidFIjTAKM/s1600-h/october+09+119.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5GZstRVaiH57vwL4qLLKdCTDWnwhKtOYb4ihxq0pTo1WVj92NpV_lH78Rwbn0e7WMkLo7xQWQI2roI85qSJtI3iuqvzulah260OsRaGDPI6Nwm0Nq1iXBz-RAEdhKHyasPwPidFIjTAKM/s320/october+09+119.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431277558539456146" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHZnN4VYorehGyb14PcWUwshmZFT-1-7KghT_kkd-ah8R7fsg0TSt3sFp8OaKnM1BfkxCUuCRpSQ8PDNbE8uJRpqKlTgw8FjVJg8vsyF5svgbnFM3TRJMqxJEDD2eVj10virJOTlMu2SOS/s1600-h/october+09+141.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHZnN4VYorehGyb14PcWUwshmZFT-1-7KghT_kkd-ah8R7fsg0TSt3sFp8OaKnM1BfkxCUuCRpSQ8PDNbE8uJRpqKlTgw8FjVJg8vsyF5svgbnFM3TRJMqxJEDD2eVj10virJOTlMu2SOS/s320/october+09+141.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431277024612369442" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmXWU37suP11ZhpIQHQh1cI00HSwxw-odRfZTOiwS-ET5gLYwikwD7QAbsZhz1kXPkSBBkf3oT3DYdZjwqyQDWnCULyt2u7Ymw0MNk13YgVwJNrUAK4qTJn5zntz-sGiUmIVQ7wQtZPngQ/s1600-h/october+09+115.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmXWU37suP11ZhpIQHQh1cI00HSwxw-odRfZTOiwS-ET5gLYwikwD7QAbsZhz1kXPkSBBkf3oT3DYdZjwqyQDWnCULyt2u7Ymw0MNk13YgVwJNrUAK4qTJn5zntz-sGiUmIVQ7wQtZPngQ/s320/october+09+115.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431276011720902338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHMDcza5Nyha3Aw7gj3ph4G77OJ0zGlw2hf-bihXRHuknTcskj2fqeSwCArFb6Seas6dRa5GUOXxCgjW8t9eYwmIbv93JGsRmO96hQyxteTZbQ6yOJHEbUgq8O_UiQ3B28k2qkiX44WaTE/s1600-h/october+09+133.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHMDcza5Nyha3Aw7gj3ph4G77OJ0zGlw2hf-bihXRHuknTcskj2fqeSwCArFb6Seas6dRa5GUOXxCgjW8t9eYwmIbv93JGsRmO96hQyxteTZbQ6yOJHEbUgq8O_UiQ3B28k2qkiX44WaTE/s320/october+09+133.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431274994931144722" border="0" /></a>About 5 days after we got home from Disneyland Lucas turned 2. I am glad I did his birthday shopping early because it snuck up on me. As you can see his most favorite toy is "Lightning McQueen" he has to always be holding one in his hand (he has about 8 different ones) he also likes Buzz and Toy Story. Still does not talk too much but knows how to get what he wants. He loves his Dad and at least can say it. We ask him to say mom and he tells " Uh ah" Quite the strong personality this one has. I am hoping that will turn into a good thing when he is faced with choices of wrong and right. He is so happy when we are at home and is fine to do whatever, but as soon as he realizes mom is giving her attention to something else he will not stand for it!! Still isn't a fan of crowds, and really hates it when we tell him no. Abbie and Tanner have so much fun playing with him and teaching him things. I can already tell he looks up to them and wants to do what they are doing. He brings such an energy (although sometimes bad energy :) if you know what I mean) to the house I can't imagine what it would be like if we weren't blessed with raising him. Love you Lucas!!!Jaimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04668076222429044752noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824285625223182508.post-58964306809136322552010-01-19T13:31:00.001-08:002010-01-19T13:33:25.530-08:00Playing Catch up!!!In Oct. my parents took the WHOLE family to Disneyland.

Man I feel like I was waiting FOREVER to see him but really it was only like 20 min. He did it!!

Yap, no balloons, no parade!! I know rebellious clan aren't we? Do not fret because we still managed to have a fun filled day. We hung out at the pool (more pics to come), then went to Julie and Richards house for a Red, White and Blue bbq, and yes the food had to fit in that criteria as well. It was a lot of fun, besides the kids playing, running, jumping and climbing everywhere we settled down when dusk came and watched a movie on the back of thier house!!! Funny thing is i can't remember what movie it was, i do know it fit the theme though.

Wow, can I just say although it was fun, I was totally exhausted when we got home. It was fun and I can't wait to go again and hopefully Lucas will enjoy it more when he is a year older. Oh man was he not happy the first two days of the trip!! Who knows why maybe cuz he was hungry, tired, sick, teething or just felt like torturing me for two days. Of course it all changed the last day we were there, he got a little happier. Anyway, enough of my whining, the cousins had a blast together and it was fun hanging out with my family and playing games. So here are some pics of some of the things we did!!! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TzBSgWgWkJealsxoDvIdVALOnfEOpZ_8PyafULay5lyErPeN8SAiUepcFdzcOgBFc7ngI96tfakEdwqDY4rIqtTnGleemSo2jBR4ydx_n0YOYcQvBCNMlovDzOrOV54KuK-5RSZYlpMK/s1600-h/pics+from+liz+039.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TzBSgWgWkJealsxoDvIdVALOnfEOpZ_8PyafULay5lyErPeN8SAiUepcFdzcOgBFc7ngI96tfakEdwqDY4rIqtTnGleemSo2jBR4ydx_n0YOYcQvBCNMlovDzOrOV54KuK-5RSZYlpMK/s320/pics+from+liz+039.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361172414780161826" border="0" /></a>The four wheeler ride was longer than expected but still a lot of fun.

These are his 1 yr. pics. Honestly every single picture taken caught his personality. Ya gotta love his teeth. He is a busy boy. More that Tanner or Abbie ever was. Always moving, climbing, rolling, talking. The only thing he won't do much of is eat. Loves apples though. He also likes to play with cars, another thing tanner never did. My favorite thing that melts my heart though, giving loves. His loves and kisses are the best. These pics were taken at my moms. What do you think about the hair. I can't handle how cute the "hawk" is.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1mN4gVTk9fpoIQ2MNxpucD_pZHQ6NXQ05VS58s6hodn17qqzx31-XKibYNM1e6tpISO8x5AoyGbm6bNniGB89N1mejOXgTdcvE0E2GgxVRWlpT_KnPRG_DSf4H3NKREfECeIFxmibLLeO/s1600-h/178.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1mN4gVTk9fpoIQ2MNxpucD_pZHQ6NXQ05VS58s6hodn17qqzx31-XKibYNM1e6tpISO8x5AoyGbm6bNniGB89N1mejOXgTdcvE0E2GgxVRWlpT_KnPRG_DSf4H3NKREfECeIFxmibLLeO/s320/178.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322542913244220338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-2pwVJdyxOKu59ReLe6_ReZJofXPTisPTgVryMR-DcjkKIWHQYXvARvkya1MXXgmB8_yJzfjDJEYEqgzUuJtgsCyKfcFbmhitBcWiX9Bia2qa6OFFm-VypHI2AfuzQvel8qRXQpKs37gY/s1600-h/131.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-2pwVJdyxOKu59ReLe6_ReZJofXPTisPTgVryMR-DcjkKIWHQYXvARvkya1MXXgmB8_yJzfjDJEYEqgzUuJtgsCyKfcFbmhitBcWiX9Bia2qa6OFFm-VypHI2AfuzQvel8qRXQpKs37gY/s320/131.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322542558184408162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimX5XhbZgQ1Pw3zuoZNwVpVFpfQBE8nFSgz6xgdM_Qchska9AKYRMhJngtIba3bMS7y9FYwkunkuzSYRt5VGliHGONw5RwMOro_VyMdP1POCx0-JP_8z77ww3OGNbtq8H9p_vHvBWObSCH/s1600-h/70.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimX5XhbZgQ1Pw3zuoZNwVpVFpfQBE8nFSgz6xgdM_Qchska9AKYRMhJngtIba3bMS7y9FYwkunkuzSYRt5VGliHGONw5RwMOro_VyMdP1POCx0-JP_8z77ww3OGNbtq8H9p_vHvBWObSCH/s320/70.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322542190453810130" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNjaCDtBl0YfiFLXZEsWgt52w6WjH7I0tdHJFsfbRatNxxII8FQaAC9j_PmDTjVgtmndqiHJnCaICpqBkBh3JRl1MzQplLOL0eSVfFG_aKFzMPuWk77FqQ3ZTMRbD8CAxFPj6A4pS4KUlD/s1600-h/128.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNjaCDtBl0YfiFLXZEsWgt52w6WjH7I0tdHJFsfbRatNxxII8FQaAC9j_PmDTjVgtmndqiHJnCaICpqBkBh3JRl1MzQplLOL0eSVfFG_aKFzMPuWk77FqQ3ZTMRbD8CAxFPj6A4pS4KUlD/s320/128.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322541320561344194" border="0" /></a>Abbie at 6 yrs. old. She is a Girl there is not mistaking this. Although, she does like to play outside and get wet and dirty like a boy would. She is extreme in all aspects. Right now here biggest passion is dance (go figure) she dances on a team and gets to travel and compete. Obviously, I think she does such a good job. These pics were taken on my deck and at the studio.

One of his favorite things to do is write stories and create characters for these stories. Here is one called the "Elf Princess" I think he is amazing at what he does (but then again don't all moms think their kids are). So creative, I swear that brain never stops.

I measure about where the eyes are and pull that hair into a ponytail and make a messy bun. (the hair that you pulled into the poof goes in this pony). 3. Make another pony tail below the first. I part the hair about mid ear and pull that into the pony tail and make a messy bun with that pony. 4. Pull the rest of the hair into a pony tail and make another messy bun. That's it. Looks complicated but all it really is is just three messy buns. Bobby pin any hair that you don't like hanging out, or you can curl it. <br />It is best to do this hair do with dirty hair, I have tried it with just washed hair and the buns won't mess. So I wouldn't wash it the day of. Also, when pulling the hair back I would wet it a little to get any flyaways and then spray it with hairspray. Leave me a comment if you have any questions. Good Luck :)<br />p.s Sorry about the blurry pics. abbie changed the setting on my camera and I didn't realize it til I was finished. Plus she wouldn't hold still and my 17 m. old was climbing on me.

I don't know if anyone else has those cravings. Anyway, I didn't really want something heavy, or full of fat. so I saw this recipe on the side of a Vanilla wafers box and decided to make it. The kids helped me and gobbled them up!! Don't they look yummy?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWUQXVj_6UZtkrZRcFIV468fTbgLMQGNlS-qGHShvyU7a95y5SrIJCE0d3WXUX5zzPsgQddxVufhTVMVuEyHxF_cKcXubGCEDzILnfNq2lBi5141RLR4eROqCNdlVHytwJd7hpaHFu_bH/s1600-h/Feb.+09+041.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWUQXVj_6UZtkrZRcFIV468fTbgLMQGNlS-qGHShvyU7a95y5SrIJCE0d3WXUX5zzPsgQddxVufhTVMVuEyHxF_cKcXubGCEDzILnfNq2lBi5141RLR4eROqCNdlVHytwJd7hpaHFu_bH/s320/Feb.+09+041.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310575557538315618" border="0" /></a>Jaimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04668076222429044752noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824285625223182508.post-88551209753891234022009-03-07T14:11:00.000-08:002009-03-07T14:23:45.447-08:00What are you doing?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFk9ZMVtSbiyvBZI4ICAfR4Xt1fEfJO_o0gOud38CaD29wsHYdpvjVU8uq493elr2Taccti_fqUQv-Pz7xQtN3qS3t0Y9IiUP6dRyMMagnnzRcZnPpJW5H3ncEwmzV7vgj0n6yBw4HaylP/s1600-h/Feb.+09+040.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFk9ZMVtSbiyvBZI4ICAfR4Xt1fEfJO_o0gOud38CaD29wsHYdpvjVU8uq493elr2Taccti_fqUQv-Pz7xQtN3qS3t0Y9IiUP6dRyMMagnnzRcZnPpJW5H3ncEwmzV7vgj0n6yBw4HaylP/s320/Feb.+09+040.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310573738560496418" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicHnDBeGoP-EpsIxVRkAAJjcGZN4NW08oVeLvSnJuW0hUjwLQrRZyNlUB62yvAk-mulyTwPXgBISw0KaZl6sb70db7mIf2i7KhM33ZGBWZlnZAbTFlUx5z0Mm3t3Cice0W2lHnMDOqmMaV/s1600-h/Feb.+09+038.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicHnDBeGoP-EpsIxVRkAAJjcGZN4NW08oVeLvSnJuW0hUjwLQrRZyNlUB62yvAk-mulyTwPXgBISw0KaZl6sb70db7mIf2i7KhM33ZGBWZlnZAbTFlUx5z0Mm3t3Cice0W2lHnMDOqmMaV/s320/Feb.+09+038.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310573479998367810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhePtp2CZFClTOueN498Kn1KH515rc4cYSOHezXE8P9AtRYo13PhU7XE9pAnatTKuBbUfs9AqcTikFt22srEuxk8M6F9v7yX57QTP4EzjHH4IVyPGObD8weCWeHEATqovH9CgTT25WzhZdK/s1600-h/Feb.+09+042.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhePtp2CZFClTOueN498Kn1KH515rc4cYSOHezXE8P9AtRYo13PhU7XE9pAnatTKuBbUfs9AqcTikFt22srEuxk8M6F9v7yX57QTP4EzjHH4IVyPGObD8weCWeHEATqovH9CgTT25WzhZdK/s320/Feb.+09+042.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310573125371251506" border="0" /></a>So I was trying to get the dishwasher unloaded so I could load it, again. As you can see by all the dishes in the back ground. I was putting something away, turned around and saw this. Now of course it is naughty, but he was so proud of pulling himself up like that and thought he was such a big kid. After all he watches his siblings climb on the counter all the time. (one of my pet peaves) So I had to snap some pics of him. Why is it that we are always taking pictures of our kids when they are being naughty? Ok maybe its just me, or my kids do lots of naughty things. :)Jaimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04668076222429044752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824285625223182508.post-75493959051174994112009-02-17T12:36:00.000-08:002009-02-17T13:09:55.864-08:00A fun weekend!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8iDu_pKBgZ3w50LaCd8UN2DeluReaFW2GtKXhfFrxNRJHnMn13AYEBAxqV59EPw3Srf9Dyy03TwfTI9kEXzLCCnqXK5wNdLz5u66onq7MahbVIdlS-hCK3qALGCQ4xlTTGTpclhEOAlxc/s1600-h/Feb.+09+007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8iDu_pKBgZ3w50LaCd8UN2DeluReaFW2GtKXhfFrxNRJHnMn13AYEBAxqV59EPw3Srf9Dyy03TwfTI9kEXzLCCnqXK5wNdLz5u66onq7MahbVIdlS-hCK3qALGCQ4xlTTGTpclhEOAlxc/s320/Feb.+09+007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303874286734817490" border="0" /></a>For Valentines I got Chad a Valentine cookie bouquet. Thanks for sharing some bites with me. The kids got a decorated cookie as well, along with a new dvd!! This is the first year I have gotten them more than a treat. Chad says that Valentines isn't really for kids. He is right, but hey I just wanted to do something fun. They were excited and it kept them entertained for most of the day!!! I love my family and am so greatful for the joy and love they bring to my life, and to Chad who is always making me feel like his Valentine!! Later in the day the cousins came over and we made sugar cookies together and delivered them to neighbors. We had a fun and exhausting day!!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxOK7brgddAEVRgAnp2NHVfIlSy0Lki5nR_b9m1jPNLeNGR2eYRKBEsHZ6XSpUy9XkLLF3rfcfg5Y17NjpAsuMEjvRYwaXeCsRBPkthfvoDUnPdj4_G1z5CXSk7qhINuKB4HTLpaigYcuj/s1600-h/Feb.+09+015.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxOK7brgddAEVRgAnp2NHVfIlSy0Lki5nR_b9m1jPNLeNGR2eYRKBEsHZ6XSpUy9XkLLF3rfcfg5Y17NjpAsuMEjvRYwaXeCsRBPkthfvoDUnPdj4_G1z5CXSk7qhINuKB4HTLpaigYcuj/s320/Feb.+09+015.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303873538217716594" border="0" /></a>Aren't these two girls just the cutest things ever.

I have been needing to blog for a while but haven't been wanting to blog about christmas. It was fun but ya know nothing to brag about :) So I thought to just see what I had on my camera. Well this is what it was. Yap, we are all gamers. The good thing though is that it does not consume our lives. Thank heavens my kids don't have to play 24/7 or life would not be fun come homework time. They are good kids. I usually let them play when they want (which is not often) when I ask them to turn of the games they, for the most part, will obey me. I think Lucas is so cute!!! Whenever he just hears the PS2 turn on he comes runnin' usually from the other side of the house, to play with his guitar. Abbie, yes that is Kit, who must be and do everything she is. Well there you go, finally a new post. </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7JhM3hlHBslKvWpzAe9Ozyt28pudLFUQYD2FjVIZe-pbCKyqklQgazVwVbefGhx4qEYyBhSUAjTMQBbo1KsdqpHrov66fYfppHbZ2FOs1OeA7ezMuo-aab6ybzqXXsG4VE8fuYVOWFda4/s1600-h/December+007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7JhM3hlHBslKvWpzAe9Ozyt28pudLFUQYD2FjVIZe-pbCKyqklQgazVwVbefGhx4qEYyBhSUAjTMQBbo1KsdqpHrov66fYfppHbZ2FOs1OeA7ezMuo-aab6ybzqXXsG4VE8fuYVOWFda4/s320/December+007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296924796804683698" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Mcj-O-ZbraGUZgrfkwqL0tSZdafQvXL-rDt0jKEtA9IESg9ixExiOLdpdSzRz4824IMfitUqISq4KELbqCjhpdeKNMNuhhnTzynGZBRk-PcDzIKnPXsEkBXN5D0BAUsG4elrUuF4eTS0/s1600-h/December+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Mcj-O-ZbraGUZgrfkwqL0tSZdafQvXL-rDt0jKEtA9IESg9ixExiOLdpdSzRz4824IMfitUqISq4KELbqCjhpdeKNMNuhhnTzynGZBRk-PcDzIKnPXsEkBXN5D0BAUsG4elrUuF4eTS0/s320/December+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296924111392539458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0VbRgBcFhnNDXFXBjZnw6m0w8kUc87e7LQUUC9f1Ij0U8QyGZbq4pkxxCpaCeHrTWT935ILCx6f7rJKSHsyIYSbrwxAx9fszZwKOH5Y2Xf0_u6JM3nxzcexRQOXcrIM98ATSNL6hGWWWl/s1600-h/December+010.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0VbRgBcFhnNDXFXBjZnw6m0w8kUc87e7LQUUC9f1Ij0U8QyGZbq4pkxxCpaCeHrTWT935ILCx6f7rJKSHsyIYSbrwxAx9fszZwKOH5Y2Xf0_u6JM3nxzcexRQOXcrIM98ATSNL6hGWWWl/s320/December+010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296923794126001266" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSI4vLGnxnpdXuoHxoBi8M83s57MYDL5Rldjs71RwcEHWm-ufvHLV-XvO4SBXmpa-YWhXCw58n1ybEAFNhhpFZQhEtC8LZD4cwk1QFjUrcUC1Co_z_piRCPnB1wyi3-Yvn2T5ymzz7hfph/s1600-h/December+005.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSI4vLGnxnpdXuoHxoBi8M83s57MYDL5Rldjs71RwcEHWm-ufvHLV-XvO4SBXmpa-YWhXCw58n1ybEAFNhhpFZQhEtC8LZD4cwk1QFjUrcUC1Co_z_piRCPnB1wyi3-Yvn2T5ymzz7hfph/s320/December+005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296923295132508914" border="0" /></a>Jaimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04668076222429044752noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824285625223182508.post-20268612524317993282008-12-19T20:22:00.000-08:002008-12-19T20:30:36.732-08:00New polish!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnliItRF6T_i3VN4Cmsdhbw6NVqkbtr1DNpGwfwcUo2CsZgEYgYlA62eTgJHpjb_kusfcz3nmch8LXfbDlbqnW-iv1ECoImobISKRhP2TqkGJNd46aEWu6VYqDt54VOhakRLL_RBIKexRR/s1600-h/December+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnliItRF6T_i3VN4Cmsdhbw6NVqkbtr1DNpGwfwcUo2CsZgEYgYlA62eTgJHpjb_kusfcz3nmch8LXfbDlbqnW-iv1ECoImobISKRhP2TqkGJNd46aEWu6VYqDt54VOhakRLL_RBIKexRR/s320/December+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281723899599823410" border="0" /></a><br />Here is my Holiday cheer.

There were so many fun activities for the kids to do there as well as many Holiday celebrities the kids got to see. There was face painting, ring toss, crafts,cookie decorating, </span><span style="font-family:courier new;">coloring activities, they also had a booth set up for the kids to write a letter to Santa.</span> <span style="font-family:courier new;"> As I said there were some celebrities there, Abbie's favorite was Mrs. Clause. She got to have quite a chat with her and the Sugar Plum Fairy" they were so cute with her. Tanner's favorite was The Grinch. The kids could all tell that he wasn't the real deal but liked him just the same. I have to admit he was quite hilarious. We also got to have breakfast as well, which really was not that good but what do you expect when it is buffet style. We enjoyed the day with most of the Sparks' cousins which was a blast. The kids have so much fun together. I am glad I got to spend this time with them. Maybe in a couple years Lucas can join us. Thanks to Chad who stayed home and spent quality time with our babe :)</span>Jaimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04668076222429044752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824285625223182508.post-18610343808202724022008-12-04T13:14:00.000-08:002008-12-04T13:20:29.990-08:00Time for another post!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn4EDICHcRfT4xV5kN3yEzDiCkbNEAj-A12RpyLuORMWvsl27b8ZobgyamKqkhxnOiLGyhjZREAuPTkzoLVEdD5Rx6Pkp0kTiVy5Qvyg8Rx9Uq9oNxbSxRXMklIWQJ-LbScWXBeYipjHkC/s1600-h/100_1046.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn4EDICHcRfT4xV5kN3yEzDiCkbNEAj-A12RpyLuORMWvsl27b8ZobgyamKqkhxnOiLGyhjZREAuPTkzoLVEdD5Rx6Pkp0kTiVy5Qvyg8Rx9Uq9oNxbSxRXMklIWQJ-LbScWXBeYipjHkC/s320/100_1046.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276047162298662018" border="0" /></a><br />It has been a while since my last post so I thought I should make another entry. About a month ago (ok maybe more than a month) my sister tagged me. So here it is the 4th picture from my 4th picture file!!!! Tanner's first day of Kindergarten and abbie's first day of pre-school. We had just gotten home from Hawaii, what a nice tan they have!!! So they missed the first weeks of school!! So they started on the same day. I can't believe how young they look :) Tanner looks so sad and abbie looks so happy, the funny thing about that is Tanner went to class just fine, no crying, kicking or screaming. Abbie on the other had to be pried off of me.Jaimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04668076222429044752noreply@blogger.com2
