SIng-A-Long

Kaelyn my 4 year old loves to sing. Right now it is Hannah Montana and Primary songs she sings all the time. But since I have added music to my blog she will tell me the name of the song as soon as the music starts. She is a great joy to lance and myself.

Kaelyn also had her 4 year check up this past week and to was so excited. She thought it was awesome that she had to pee in a cup and I quote "I get to pee in a cup like you mommy when you go to the Dr." No more Dr. visits with mommy Kaelyn.

Joy School

A few friends and I all have daughters that are all the same age. We decided to do an at home pre-school we meet on Tuesday and Friday. We started last week and each week we trade homes. This week it is at my house so Cohen gets to partisapate.

Our House

Lance is a great photographer, and the sun was hitting out house just right.

So I have found a talent and I would like to share it with you. A few months ago a friend asked me to make a cake for another friends baby shower. I was so excited to do it since I have found I love to decorate cakes. The theme was Pickles and Ice cream. I have made other cute cakes but this one is my favorite.

A Cold Day In Yuma, AZ

Well it is October now so it starts to cools down into the 50's and 60's in the morning's and evening's. As you know all three of our kids were born here in Yuma and they they don't quite know cold. Above are a few pictures that can explain better than I can.

Happy Birthday Kaelyn and Carolyn

As some of you know my Birthday is October 18Th but I wanted to let you know also Kaelyn turned 4 (wow times goes buy so fast) on Oct. 9Th. We had a bracelet party for her. She and I made little bracelets for all her little girl friends to take home. We had cake and ice cream and she opened her gifts. It was short and simple but a lot of fun. We had about 10 little girls at our House...I was so relieved that we didn't have any cat fights and we all had fun. I promised myself that we were going to do a family party next year.
On my birthday we got a baby sitter and went to see the movie An American Carol. We loved the first 30 minutes of it since that is all we got to watch of it. The movie stopped after that and we waited 30 minutes for them to fix it. They had some trouble so they gave us all free vouchers and sent us home. Lance and I then went to see some Friends that just had a baby. We were on our way home when we passed by the local grocery store and saw they were having a case lot sale and we decided to stop and shop for some food storage. After our date I fed Jordan and took a nap. Then that evening we took the kids with us to dinner. We went to the River City Grill. It was so yummy and the kids were so well behaved while we were there. We were told how brave we were to take 3 kids to dinner with us. When we got home we had cake and Ice cream (Lance, Kaelyn and Cohen made the cake) and I opened my presents that I picked out and wrapped myself. All in all it was a great day. Thanks Lance, Kaelyn, Cohen and Jordan for a wonderful day. I Love You. Also thanks to everyone who called and wished me a Happy birthday or sent out a birthday card all of you made my day special. XOXOXO!

2 Times In My Life!!

As you know I live in what Lou Dora calls "Purgatory" because it is so hot in Yuma all the time. Well it is finally cooling off and I am loving it. In fact it has been
nice enough that we can play out side and not have to worry about heat exhaustion. I am loving the fact I can keep my windows open all day and the house stay under 80 degrees.
On Monday Lance mowed the back yard. I wasn't home so he had all 3 kids and this made mowing the front yard a bit of a chore. So I decided that since it was cool out at 1 pm that I would surprise him and mowed the front yard. I have only mowed the lawn once and that was back when I was 17 and it was my parents yard. Stop laughing I know i have had a cushy life. I was told by Estyn that I didn't do such a good job so I kind of haven't tried since. So here I am with the Lawn mower on the grass all confident that I can do this because we have a small front yard... I tried 3 timed to start the mower and realized I didn't have the handle held down right so i held it down and still couldn't get it to start. Just then our new neighbor comes home and he greets me with a kind hello and I say hello back... and then I say could you do me a favor and start this for me, I am such a weakling...Just so you know this is the first time I have met the man. He starts it for me and I am off. Thanks to my Abilify I didn't get angry and frustrated. I love modern medicine.

while we were there we also were able to meet up with my brother Estyn and his family along with my sister Mary. this is Kaelyn, Malu and Cohen

Summer Time

As a family we drove up to Utah and spent some time with friends. We took the kids to Discovery Gateway and had a blast. I didn't want to go home because the weather was so nice in Salt Lake and back home I knew it would be well overr 100.
