Easter Sunday

This easter break was blended with Tanner's birthday and Opening day at Dodgers. So we went to church that morning and came home and The bunny had been to our home. It left the kids pails with some candy and toys and then they went outside and found eggs. This year most of the eggs were filled with money and of course the kids love that. Then we headed over to grandy and grandpa for a nice dinner with their uncle. No cousins this time we are hoping soon. Hope you all enjoyed spending this special day with ones you love. I know I did. My children

Happy 8th Birthday Tanner

Ok so these went in backwards but you'll get the idea backwards. We started out a slow week but Friday we started out at Disneyland for Tanners free birthday pass and ended up buying a pass for Logan and I also. We were able to purchase them on the NEW payment plan. So great and you can use the free birthday $$$69 towards a new or renewal pass so it's not that mad. Anyways. So Tanner was soooo excited about his sleep over tonight with 5 of his best friends. we had to put a number on it. He went on 2 rides and sat on the train and he said I want to get home mom I don't want to miss my part. Ok we went home and as you can see we had plenty of time because Mom got smart and had everything ready the day before. When his friends finally arrived it got instantly crazy and non stop till as you can see in the one picture lights finally went out at 1am YES 1 am I seriously thought and planned on not getting much rest as this was what he wanted for his birthday O and NO siblings. His quest was granted. I was pretty sure they would tire out at Midnight. These were some hardcore and very competitive kids. Playing Wii movies baseball basketball tag you name it. We had pizza and cake ice cream and unlimited about of candy to enjoy. They did have fun. They were all awake at 7 morning and Scott went to Donut man for a run of donuts and milk for the kids. Pick-up was 10 am and I was so done... And he's only 8. What did I get myself into....I am soo happy and grateful to be Tanner's mother and carried him for 9 months. He is a very sweet and loving son and really tries to please others. He is very competitive loves sports and his family. He tries to keep us all together. He's doing his best in 2 grade and loves school. He's preparing to be baptized. Tanner is a special child and I his mother am very proud of him. He's really improved this year on a lot of levels baseball and his scholastic skills. He's the first baseman on his Padres team this year and doing awesome. He's a great kid. Happy 8 b-day Fulio (family joke)

Go Tanner

As you can see the kids sure do keep us busy. The kids love to help cook and do laundry and take out the trash. So of course I take advantage of these opportunities to teach them now. So they can be more independent.

Logan's school recently help a grandparents luncheon and grandma went on Thursday and grandy & grandpa went on Friday. Logan loves to share his projects and school with his family. Paige is really into babies and cupcakes. She is improving dramatically in her speech and may not need any more therapy as of her 3rd b-day. Yes you read right my baby is going to be three. I've always had a baby on the way or here at this point. As we all know that won't be happening. I am very blessed to have three healthy smart & beautiful children.Tanner is getting ready also to turn the big 8 years old and preparing for baptism. tanner has decided along with mom and dad to have some friends come over and have a boys sleep over and let boys be boys! His 6 best friends are the Willett twins from church, school and baseball , Kyle from school soccer and baseball, CJ from church an school, Cade from soccer and Nick from school and baseball last year. We won our first game of the season 15-0.Sorry it took so long my life lately has been a little complicated. Thanks for understanding.!!!

My three precious jewels

I wanted to give my three children a little Valentine tribute. I want all 3 of them to know how much mommy loves them and that I would to anything for them. I am so grateful for these beautiful children that Heavenly father has given to me to teach, nurture, raise , help and play with a love. I have so much fun with my kids and love playing with them. Don't get me wrong there are days and times when I do need a brake. Normal right! Tanner has a new job where he takes the trash out every day and does the dishes after dinner. This was one night this week and I thought it was cute. I have often caught my kids with an open book a work book scripture and I try to capture those moments and let them know It makes me Happy. Logan went #2 on the potty for the first time in a while and I told him he would get a toy and since we had it left over from x-mas I gave it to him. This is the cars mountain race. Anyways there are definitely more pictures in this one. Enjoy and Happy Valentines Day to all you love birds!!!

New Years

This year since our Disneyland passes expired on the 3. We decided to go on New Years day and just enjoy some family time. It was pretty chilly there and we all bundled up and could not believe the wait to get into the park. Lucky for us with passes it wasn't that bad. We went straight to Space mountain and Scott took Logan and waited in line while I waited at the exit with Tanner and Paige for the switch pass. Tanner will no longer go on it , but he will go on California screaming. Go figure. Anyways we don't let that dampen our fun. We still have to wait for Paige . We decided to do and try new things this year when we renew. There are so many things that the park has to offer and we always do the same things every time. So this time we went to see the country comedy show and have lunch there. I realized I only got one picture. Then the next day Scott said we should go to Sam's and stock up again. So here we are. Then Tanner got a Lego helicopter that daddy promised he would help build with him. After about 15 min No one was interested anymore. Their patience isn't very long. Kids had a very long break and did quit a bit. Glad to spend quality time with them also glad to have them back in school Yea!! Scoot is back training for his Tri in April and I'm still at the gym working my way down. We are off to a good start this year I pray for love support comfort, patience, pain tolerance , good health, healing, Happy times .
