Good Citizen

Way to go Brooklyn

This month brooklyn was chosen to be the good citizen from her kinderagrten class. She was so excited. It was so cute we were invited to her school to the assembly. The kindergartners sang some songs then they handed out the awards. She was so proud and she has been working hard at school. She is such a good student and a great kid. The timing was perfect david got to come to the assembly. Good job Brooklyn.

Cutest cheerleader

Brooklyn has wanted to do cheerleading for a while now. I was a little nervous becasue it takes up two nights plus the games on saturday. Call me old schol but that is alot for a kid I think plus I feel like landon and dawson just get pulled around from place to place. Anyway that is my soapbox. So she started a few weeks ago. She loves it. Everyday she asks if it is her cheer day. When she got her uniform she was pover the moon. Then she got the pom poms and it was all over. She is having such a good time. Saturday was the first game they cheered at. She was in heaven she did so good she cheered so lod and was really having a fun time. She was cheering, kicking, and shaking her thing. She was having a real fun time. The team they cheered for won the game proably because of the good cheering she was doing. Way to Go team!!

practice before the game

Blessed and Spoiled

Home away from Home

Well about a two weeks ago I got a call from David on a Tuesday saying that he would be in Hawaii on Thursday morning. So excited. Well again I surprised the kids and woke them to me saying hurry get up kids we have to go get daddy from the airport. Oh we were excited. I feel so blessed that we had the chance to have David come home for a few days. It was just what we all needed.

David is the greatest husband and father around. He is so great with the kids. He spent the days giving me time to myself. I went to lunch with some friends with no kids. Shopping, relaxing, naps, and whole bunch of other stuff. He took the kids on errands with out me, had some good date nights with him thanks to some great friends, a trip to chuck e cheese, the fun factory, and other fun stuff. It was so nice to have him home for a few days. So we all got spoiled while daddy was here. He is the greatest. I hate having him gone and being away from him but it makes the times that he is here that more special for us. Thanks for spoiling us while you were here David we love you!

Happy Birthday Dawson

Happy birthday Dawson I cant believe you are already two. Time has just flown by since you were born. You are such a great addition to the family. Brooklyn and Landon love you so much. You cant help but to love little Dawson.You have started putting two words together. You can say many words. You don't like to sit in the stroller you want to be walking right up with the your brother and sister. You stay right by them when I do let you out of the stroller. You still love your blanket. We don't go anywhere with out it. You love balls and hot dogs. You can play with a ball for ever. You have started to enjoy Landon's scooter. You can ride it fairly well. You used to not like the ocean but now you love it. You love to take baths. You love to jump on the trampoline with Landon and sit with brooklyn on the couch to watch a show.





You definitely know what you like and don't like. You will let us know if you don't like what we have given you. You love to be outside. You love to be in the powerwheel.


You are such a happy little boy. you are always trying to help out with putting the laundry away, putting the dishes away, taking things to the garbage, and putting toys away.





You have grown and developed so much the last six months. I cant wait to see what this year has in store for you and all that you will learn. Our family wouldn't be complete with out you Dawson. We love you so much. Happy Birthday

I love these kids

I cant take the credit for the picutres. Thanks Jen Iove them

Happy New Years!

This new years eve I took tje kids to see a movie. Then we stopped by and picked up some thai food for dinner. Dawson ws tuckered out so I put him to bed and then me, landon and brooklyn did sparklers. After that we played some games and hung out. It was really fun. New years day we went to the aquarium and on a picnic. The kids had a good time and of course I did not take any pictures. It was a great way to start the new years anyway.

The last week or so I have been thinking about some family goals I want to make rather then resolutions. Every year it seem sto be the same I resolve to get better and so many different things, I resolve to loose those last ten punds that are always there. It seems like I do good the first few weeks then it just goes away after that. Well I decided to make some family goals. Some that we can all work on. I have come up with these.

* Simplify ( dinners, outings, errands, things the kids are involved in)

*I think Simplify is more the motto I want to live by this year

*More confidence as a wife and mother

*Add a little something to the small holidays

*Better at Family HOme Evening

*Having the kids do chores rather then me just do it becasue I know it will get done how I want

*Being more content at my house when david is gone

So I know these might seem like small goals but for me they are what I am striving for at this house. I hope you all have a great start to a new year. Happy New Year Everyone
