London 2012

The Olympics came and went but my rugrats have been working hard at the gym to prepare themselves for the 2012 games in London. They could easily pass as 16 for the gymnastics age.

Move over Shawn Johnson here comes Brooklyn. For Paul Ham these two cute boys are close on your tail..

With David having the last week off we went and did some fun stuff with the kids. The place that Brooklyn takes gymnastics has an open gym. The kids had a blast. It was so nice to have David off for the time he was. I am not sure when he has to leave again. I will enjoy it while he is here. He is back to work today so our days of playing has ended. Yeah right some one has to work around here so thank you david for working so hard for us.

Ballerina Birthday Brooklyn

I have been hearing so much lately about making tutus. I know brooklyn would love one so I asked my friend Angie to help me with this. Angie is great at sewing. I had asked her if I bought some tule if she would make it for me for her birthday. She said well I will just do it. Brooklyn loves the tutu. She is in love with it. Angie did such a good job. Thank you angie for the great gift. It turned out so good. Thank you so much

I do have to admit brooklyn makes a cute ballerina. I kove the picture with her on the phone. No doubt about it she is a true girl.

Happy Birthday Brooklyn

Happy happy birthday Brooklyn dear!!!

We know have a four year old at our house. How time flies.

This year i did a princess tea party. The friends came dressed as there favorite prince or princess. We had some very handsome princess's. We had a tea party, made a craft of crowns, we had a pinata, then we had a princess cake. I decided to decorate the princess skirt. It was fun to do and Brooklyn thought it was the coolest. That night we went to chuck e cheese's It was a great day. She had so much fun. It was so neat to see how excited she was all day. I cant believe that she is four. Thanks to all her friends for coming and helping us celebrate Brooklyn's birthday.

Happy birthday Brooklyn I hope you know how much I love you and hope this year of you being four is a great one for you. Me and your daddy love you so much. You are such a sweet girl. You are always making us laugh. You and Landon are inseperable. You are such a big help to your brothers. No one can get Dawson laughing like you can. You are always there to help mom. You are such a joy to be around. Always know that we love you so much.

Happy Birthday!!

Beach rides and a big surprise.

This weekend we got out for labor day. We went to the beach on Friday with some friends. It was a nice beach day the water was perfect and the sun was nice and hot. We went to Ko Olina. Landon is getting more comfortable in the water. It was fun to see Dawson explore things since he can crawl now. Brooklyn always has a good time at the beach. On Monday for labor day we went to the family fun fest. There is a neat family in our ward named the Kim's. They are just great. They put on a carnival every labor day. This is the last year that they are doing it.They have rides, jump houses and a ton of food. Each person gets a hot dog, Snow cone, cotton candy , and popcorn. On top of all this each ward has a potluck during the day. There is so much food and fun. Landon didn't care for the rides but Brooklyn loved them. I was to busy jumping in the jump houses with the kids to take pictures. We meet up with our friends and rode the train together. It was a good day.

The best surprise of all is that David is back. He came back on Tuesday. It was so nice. He had hinted that he would be here for Brooklyn's birthday. Then on Sunday night the call I have been waiting for for 6 weeks happened. David called. It was nice when he called the kids were all asleep so it was nice to just get to talk to him. I had my friend tonya watch the kids and I went and got him at the airport. I dropped him off then got the kids. They walked in the house and were so excited. Brooklyn was just talking a thousand miles a minute. Landon wouldn't let him go. He was really tired. He was taking a nap and the kids kept waking him up poor guy. He has the next 8 working days off that will be so so nice. We are going to get out and do some fun things.

Girls Just want to have fun!

Brooklyn has a friend named Grace. They are two peas in a pod. Brooklyn has a chart that she has to earn magnets with when she has good days. I let her pick her rewards. It is something small like a pack of gum or a trip to the park. Well she said she wanted to have her friend sleep over. I know she is only four but she wanted it and she has been really good and has been really liking the magnet charts. So I wanted her to have the reward that she wanted.

They had such a good time. Brooklyn loves the soundtrack of mama mia so they did dress up and danced to mamma mia. Even landon got in on the action. They watched a movie and had some popcorn. It was such a fun time for the girls. Brooklyn has some good friends that are boys that she loves it was nice to have a girl around to have her play with. Thanks for the fun girls night.

On the LOOSE!!

Dawson has been crawling for a few weeks now. He is so fast. I will set him down with some toys before I know it he in the kitchen or the bathroom. He really gets up and goes. It is such a fun stage but nerve wracking at the same time. Brooklyn and Landon are finding out there toys are not safe if they are in the same room Dawson is he crawls right to them and picks them up. He is not wanting to eat baby food either. He wants what we are eating. I have found that he loves strawberries and bananas. I cant believe that in a few weeks he will be 8 months old. He is getting to big. I think he has had a smile on his face everyday since he was born. So i will put things up higher and watch what I leave out.

On a side note how do I place pictures inbetween what you write? I need help so my pictures arent just on top of what I write. Thanks

So So Hot and Lazy

The weather has been good here in paradise except for the middle of the day. It has been so stinking hot. Just thinking about outside I get a sunburn. What better way to stay cooled off then a run through the sprinkler. Landon was the only one that enjoyed the sprinkler.

Our neighbor gave us this hammock the kids have loved it since we got it. It has been a low key week. Not much has been happening out here. Other then staying cool.
