25th Birthday

Yes I know my birthday was in May and its September but better late then never, right! I have a lot of catching up to do, so please bare with me!

My Birthday was awesome as always. My brother Daniel made me an ice cream pie and it was to die for, Mint and Oreo my favorite! My Family sure did spoil me and I got a lot of fun things! I am so thankful to have family and friends in my life, they are truly the greatest gift.

Easter 2011

Easter morning the kids finding their Easter baskets. You can tell they were both still tired, we have early church so we had to wake up a bit early.

The kids in their Sunday Easter outfits. They are so cute!

My parents did a Easter hunt for the kids. So here are the kids taking off!

Barrett looks so excited!

Looking for eggs! Barrett was just picking up any egg but Tannon was looking for the money eggs, what a smart girl.
.

Tannon asked me to take this picture, she said "Mom take a picture of me posing to pick up this egg?" She is too funny!

Barrett got bored after a bit and just sat in the sand box and started opening his eggs to eat the candy. We had our friends Brett and Janeal join us for Easter at my parents too, we had a lot of fun. We had yummy food and played volleyball, egg toss, balloon toss and other outside games. I love spending time with family and friends.

Zoo field trip

Towards the end of the school year Tannon's class took a field trip to the Wild life zoo. I had been wanting to take the kids, so it was fun to go finally. Tannon wanted to invite her Grandma's and she was excited they could come. Uncle Christopher was on break from school and he was able to come too!

All the kids in her class!

Aunt Stephanie and Krew were able to come too!

Looking at the animals

Mrs. Carrie and the kids in Tannon's class.

It was so crazy that there was just one rope between you and the Kangaroos.

There was a baby bobcat, it was so cute!

Here is a baby lion too!

The white tiger was my favorite, they are so beautiful.

So my camera died right at the beginning of the day so these are all the pictures I took. The zoo was so much fun! Tannon got to ride on some rides and feed the giraffes, the giraffes lick the food right out of your hands which is pretty crazy. We had lots of fun.

Service Project

A couple of months ago, I want to say about March sometime, my brother was down from school and he wanted to do a service project so he found this lady that was putting together an exhibit at a farm and needed lots of trees and bushes planted for it, so I thought I would be a nice sister and help him out, we had a lot of fun but hard work digging holes, plus I learned a lot about taking care of plants in Arizona and the correct way to plant them. Also you always feel good doing service for others.

Having Fun

A couple of months ago my other kids came to visit, the reason I call them my other kids is because I babysat them for about three year Morgan was 2 and cooper was 2 months when I started watching them and so they were like my own kids, I love them so much. They moved about a year ago to New Mexico and I have missed them so much, especially Tannon, so it was so good to see them.

The kids love play-doh I think they have like every accessory for play-doh so David and I are always get yummy play-doh food made for us to eat.

St. Patricks Day 2011

So for St. Patrick's Day 2011 we set our trap to try and catch the leprechaun. I did it last year and Tannon had a lot of fun with it, so I thought I would make it a new tradition. This year Barrett got to enjoy the fun and understood what was going on.

This is our trap, with lots of gold treasures inside!

This is the next morning! And he got away again with our treasure! Its funny the kids kinda get nervous to look to see if they caught him, I guess a tiny, green leprechaun would kinda be scary to find trapped in a hamper basket,lol!

He may have escaped but he left his tiny green foot prints leading to the closet and the kids found some fun St. Patrick's Day surprises that he left them.

Looking through their surprises!

He got them some green to wear so they wont get pinched, what a good ideas I thought.

My boy turned 2!

On March 13th, 2011 Barrett turned 2! I can not believe how fast time flies, I wish they would grow slower.

Barrett loves balls so I decided to make his party baseball themed, which he loved!

Here is a close up of the cake and cookies I made, the cake is actually two cookies put together. Barrett also loves cookies so that's why the cake is cookie. It took a lot of work but I think they turned out cute, the things we do for our kids!

Tannon was so excited for her brother party, she was such a big helper and great big sister.

Me and my happy birthday boy!

Barrett with cousin Emma!

Opening presents! He wasn't a big fan of opening presents so his sister helped a lot.

Barrett for sure got spoiled but he did get lots of clothes which he needed.

A hug for his sister! I just loving having a boy and girl, they are so different but its so fun to see how much they love each other.

My boy is two, that is just so crazy! Of course he is 2 1/2 when I posting this because I am such a slacker when it comes to blogging but he has grown so much! I am so blessed to have Barrett and Tannon in my life, they make my days so much fun and I just love them so much!
