Rain, Rain Go Away

This was out our front door during one of the MANY storms we've had!!!

Playing at the pool

This was our first rip to the pool this summer! Thanks, Monica, your a lifesaver!

Madison is 6 months old!!!

Wow! These were taken by McKensey at Madison's 6 month doctor's appt. Silly girl! (mcKensey that is)

Our "new" piano

Well, It's not NEW but it is "new" to us!!! William and Lidia have been taking piano lessons and we finally got a piano. I must say that we are so blessed to have gotten it for free. These pics were taken at my mom's because Mario wouldn't bring it home. SO... We made a deal!!! The kids and I had to keep the house picked up and clean for a month and we could bring the piano. Well, we did it (and are still doing it) and it was delivered tonight!!! Thanks Moroni and Mosiah!!!

Bowling!!!

McKensey got to go bowling with her preschool. She had so much fun. I do believe this was her first bowling experience. It took her alittle while to get into it but once she did ther was no stopping her. She had a 76 on the first game and a 64 on the second. Way to go McKensey!!!

Macy's 4th Birthday

Jumpin' around

Ohhhh!!! Sparkles, this was her favorite part! So pretty!!! My little princess.

McKensey was invited to 2 parties on Saturday. Luckily one was in the morning and the other was in the evening. Her friend Macy (from preschool) had her birthday at a cute place called "My Little Dollhouse." There the girls get to dress up, do their hair, makeup, and nails!!! They have a jupiter jump, have a fashion show and even sing and dance. It's really alot of fun for the girls. McKensey felt so special because she got to go to 2 parties without her brother or sister!

McKensey after Emily's Party

The Heart.
The Butterfly.

This is McKensey after coming home from her friend Emily's 4th birthday party. She was so excited that she got her face painted. It was done by Emily's big sister Ashley who is 8. Great job, Ashley!!! McKensey had such a great time. She got to see a magician and jump on a princess castle jupiter jump! Thanks, Emily for inviting her. Check out my friend Monica's blog for more party fun!!!

William's 9th Birthday Party

Birthday Boy!!! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Awe yeah, lets battle!!!!! Thanks Grant and Brady.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Cole.

Mario helped me to decorate the "PokeBall" cake. Pretty cool, huh? It was chocolate with cookies and cream ice cream inside!!! MMM, MMM GOOD!
Breakfast the next morning!!!
Watching a Pokemon movie and playing their DS's.
Twister!!!! At least the leap frog version. Grant won this round.
Say what?! Everyone playing Pokemon!!!!

William finally had his birthday party. He was so patient to wait until after soccer and basketball were over so he could have a sleepover. This was our first sleepover but it went well. I didn't get much sleep between getting up with Madison and fixing snacks for the boys. It was a total boy party though. It was all about Pokemon! William got a nintendo ds for his birthday and his friends Grant and Brady gave him a Pokemon game to go with it. Since the ds has wifi and the other boys had that game they were able to battle one another which they thought was totally COOL!!! We played twister and jenga as well. It really was alot of fun. I never knew that the boys would stay up until 4am (or so). I must be the coolest mom around, to let them play video games and stay up all night!!!!

Hopefully you can hear them "battling." It was quite interesting.

Getting instructions before being set "Free"
This is Lidia's class with her teacher and class aide.

This past Friday, Lidia's kindergarten class, took a field trip to the park. We walked from the Elememtary school to Black Gold park. It took us about 25 mins. to walk. It was really fun (but tiring)!!!
