Noah turns 4

Noah's 4!

December 4th 2011

What do I say about this adorable little four year old spunky spitfire of a boy... He definitley gave me a run for my money...I still remember his beautiful blue eyes looking at me when he was a newborn...We slept downstairs on the couch for the first week of his life and I remember him not being a good little sleeper but I didn't mind because I knew it always went away so fast...I just wanted to cherish it...I remember his swing had the song This child of mine as one of it's looped tunes and since Noah was born December 4th it was Christmas time so it went perfect for him...like his baby soundtrack tune ;)

Noah used to say Fat Butt all the time...quite embarrassing when you are big and pregnant at church sitting during Sacrament passing and he says "mommy, me see u fatt butt" He made me laugh all the time but we did unfortunatly have to break him of that saying since he was saying it at some of the most opportune times, in public....

He also swears the iPad is his...and thinks he can play on the boys iTouches all the time.

This kid along with my other two boys has been obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine...Good thing we already had every Thomas and friends Train available for retail and boy did he love Thomas! He had to have all the latest little activity stations for Christmas and his bday this past year but I am sad to report it is slowly passing...He still plays with them but he's not as obsessive about them anymore... :( I hate when my kids grow out of things...It makes me really sad...Like another piece of their already too quick little childhood placed on a shelf...

For his birthday in December we kept it simple, he wanted McDonalds for lunch and to ride the train at the Simi Mall with his cousins...McD's was classic, we had all his cousins, an Aunt an Uncle, both Grandma's and Grandpa's...Then we went to my moms after for a Thomas cake and presents...

Happy Birthday Bunkaroos!

Faboulous Flirty and Thirty ;)

30!!!!

Actually I thought turning 29 was harder...the realization that this was my last year in my 20's... so I think I had a whole year to come to accept the fact I was turning 30. So when I turned thirty it was no big deal. It was Fun because I had so many people around me I was thankful for!

My parents took me out to lunch during the day to Cheescake Factory

Josh's Parents took us out to Musashi Japenese...The boys loved it!

Saw one of my birthday Sisters out that night too! HB Carolyn!

And my SIL Steph took me out to a yummy dinner just us two at Exotic Thai Bistro...Thanks Sis! It was fun! She turns 30 tomorrow! ;)

Then my parents threw me an awesome Birthday Bash!

The Decorations...

Waiting for the guests to arrive...

Man I love these four... ;)

The party...

My HS bestie Sarah {Pear Bear} We were cheerleaders together and had lots of fun with our crazy group of mormon friends! hahaha and making the best videos...she was even so nice to let me borrow her boyfriend at the time to go to Prom with hahaha...what a nice friend...{she was a grade younger}I guess real friends share everything hahaha...

Lily looking Fabulous!

Growing up I had three girl cousins and we were all born the same year! This is Crystal! She's an awesome runner and such a sweetheart and always has been the sweetest girl! oh and her man Michael is in the pic too ;) 

This is Tammy and Kayla!

Definite long time - life long friends! Met them in the Pageants but have remained friends still! Tammy is super funny and so real! I have the best time with Kayla especially watching Talent at the beauty pageants! She is a beautiful Pageant Queen and wins all these titles everywhere she competes! Love them!

This is my Nina {moms sister} and Kim {moms best friend} They are my next biggest fans after mom of course!  We have so many memories with these ladies. They both have a daughter my age, Jenny my cousin and Kristi my childhood BFF. So we were always doing something together from Pageants, Family Fun, Cheerleading, Holidays...You name it we were all there!  

And the people I love most and who love me most!!

Lily Turns One

Lily Turns One

September 4th 2011

I can't believe my last little baby turned one! She was my hardest baby but even being my hardest, she was pretty good compared to a lot of other babies...So I hear and so people tell me...I don't care she was hard but probably because I had four others who needed my attention with my oldest being only nine...but I am so glad we went ahead and tried for her...I had a miscarrrage before her and we were pretty sure we still wanted to try for that last little #5...So glad we did... She really does complete our family quite nicely...So glad my Lexi has a sister...and they will have each other always...

They are five years apart and I think that is perfect...They will always be sisters rooting for each other and not always so in competition {I Hope} hahaha...

Happy Birthday to our little Lilypie ;)

Her little Presents

My mom and Linda helped me throw an awesome little party over at my moms...

Lexi's Fairy Party

Lexi invited 11 little girls and 2 boys and I think all but one came...She has so many friends and loves to play with them so we had to invite them all...It was a great party and I think all the girls had a fairy fun time!

My Cute Little SIX year old Lexi!

They had a butterfly hunt outside...Lexi really wanted her best boy-friend to come but since it was a girly fairy party we invited him and his sister and then Cole helped hide the butterflies with Dalen, Noah and Adam -{Sarah's little bro} That way he didn't feel so out of place ;)

A Fairy Lunch ~ cheese, crackers, pepperoni, carrots and grapes

Dressed in their Fairy Best along with wings, hair jewelry, butterfly tiaras, and glitter butterfly stickers that were given to them when they entered the party...
