Christmas Pictures 2010!

These are some of the kids Christmas photos that we took this year. They grow up so fast!!

Alvin and the Chipmunks

Joey definitely can pull off Alvin. I asked if she wanted to be a princess or something else and it was a NO! Just Alvin

Max wanted to be Simon because hes the tallest, but after making their costumes he was realizing it was kindof like a dress and couldn't go on the trampoline to well and didn't want to be him for the next party.

I love costumes that are themed. Joseph was David Seville. I made there costumes 2 nights before and luckily for thrift store turtlenecks! The picture on top is at Rhonda's house with all our friends kiddos. Max didn't want to be Simon again so hes a ninja in the picture-lol. Of course the best part for the kids was walking around the neighborhood getting Candy!

My Big Boy!!

While Joseph and I were in Reno, the Hamar girls were so sweet and took pictures of the kidos. These pictures of Brody makes me realize how much of a big boy hes becoming. This age is the cutest! Hes talking, or at least trying. My favorite words are more, i want that, stop it(to Joey) and of course mommy as long as its not too much in one day.

1st Tooth gone!

All these firsts for Max. He woke up the other day saying his tooth was loose, and at dinner he started to eat and suddenly pulled his tooth out! We told him the tooth fairy would come while he was sleeping, he looked at us and said no mom you'll put money under my pillow. I asked him where he heard that and explained that the tooth fairy is real. Hes still little:)

Max's 1st day of kindergarden!

Doesn't he look so excited-lol. The first week was a adjustment for him, and me. He would get sad in the morning and not want to get out of bed, but thankfully it has been so much easier. He loves riding the bus and I'm so glad because that would be alot of driving everyday. His buddy Tanner rides and that helps. He sits in the front row and has received a certificate for best rider of the week-so cute:) He's away from me and that's sad, but I love his teacher and glad shes with him when I'm not.

Tortilla Hats!!

After our taco dinner the other night the kids decided to use the leftover tortillas as hats.
I was laughing pretty hard especially when they would look down and it would fall off. that's why Max's is so torn up.

A relaxing get away, 15min away!

Like Father, like son Max is totally into flipping! He saw Joseph do it and of course he had to too! He trys flips on anything which gets me worried, but he loves it.

The Race!!!

Max thought the trophy was the best part
Matt and Matthew and Joseph and Max- Very Proud Daddy's!!!


I loved the look on Max's face as he was starring at the bar, hoping it would go down-so cute!

Matthew did great for his first time, he was battling it out with another racer!

THE CHECKERED FLAG!!

Thought the paperwork was so cute:)


We were not knowing what to expect when we mentioned a race in Hanford to Max. Since hes on the timid side we were shocked when that's all he would talk about for 2 days. So we decided to take him, still thinking there's no way he will. We'll to our surprise he did it. He fell during practice so he wasn't wanting to go again. Some guy could of course tell it was his first time there and prob. the youngest, so he offered him a free shirt if he keeps his head up and keeps going. That got him excited so he did 2 more races. He wasn't fast, but he did it!!! We were very proud of him!

Friends!!

Lauren, Joey and Kamber
Max, Clay, Cole and Tanner

Joshua and Max

JP-7, Max-5, Joshua-5, Joey-3, Capri-3, Jerrick-2 and Brody-1

Over the summer we really enjoyed the pool by having kids over through out the hot days

Morro Bay!!

We had such a great vacation to Morro Bay. We took the toy hauler and stayed at the Morro Bay State Park. The back opens so its so nice to sit on the couch and watch the kids ride bike. My parents went to so that's so nice for me because they love going in their trailer and hanging out with them-lucky parents-lol. My sister meet us up there for a night and we all went to the beach. The kids love climbing the rocks and by the picture so did Brody. The last picture is the new way Joey sleeps in the car. They both crashed 10 min after we left the park:)

Back in the day

Instead of the microwave popcorn my kids love the old school popcorn machine. They all stare at it with excitement as each kernel pops! I don't think it taste as good, but they seem to love it. Its almost become a nightly event.

Summer Cleaning!

I just love it when the kids are excited to help out. I can ask for help with cleaning inside the house and it lasts maybe 2 min and then they have suddenly disappeared, but boy when you need stuff done outside no matter what it is their happy and willing.

Happy Fathers Day!!

For Fathers Day we went to my sister, Diana's house. The kids had so much fun swimming and eating and just spending time with family. My nephew, Everet took Joseph on a ride..Buckle up!!

Max's 5th birthday!

My oldest is now 5! Boy does time fly. Everyday you feel like your flying, doing this and that and before you know it, he's talking about kindergarten and now hes not wanting kisses in public. He still gets teary eyed when I leave him at school, but only will lean in for a hug, no kiss:( So now I hold him down and give him tons of kisses and he may act like he doesn't like it, but I know he does. The big smile gives it away!We had his preschool party and had a sports pinata. The kids had a great time hitting something as hard as they could!
