FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 2010

My kids are getting so old I'm not sure how I feel about it. In some ways its easier and funner but in other ways so much harder and scarier. I have great kids much better then I deserve for sure!!! I just hope I can keep them heading in the right direction, some times I wonder. Tayt is in 3rd grade and has Mrs. Dutson he love her. I knew he would since she was the same teacher I had in 3rd grade. He is playing flag football and love it. He is really athletic I just wish I could get him to spend as much time reading as he plays football or any sport. Janie is amazing she is really the sweetest little girl EVER. She just started 1st grade and has Mrs. Comeau and LOVES her, she just loves school the other day I slept in :( and Janie informed me that I had better not do that again because school is VERY important and she didn't want to miss any of it. I am trying alot harder to make sure she makes the bus. :) She is really busy right now she is in paino, Dance, and tumbling but she loves every munite of it. She is my angel if I don't feel good she will come and lay by me. She is always trying to clean thing for me :) I love all my kids I am so GREATFUL to have them!!!

Our Trip to Puerto Rico!!!

I have the best parents in the world!!! This summer they took us to Puerto Rico it was so much fun!!! I don't know how much fun they had chasing all 13 of us but we had a BLAST!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! These pictures aren't in order but they will show you SOME of the things we got to do. I would love to go back there was so much to do. We stayed in RINCON for the first 4 nights and then we stayed on RIO GRAND the last 4 night and I have to say we could have stayed another 2 or more in each place!!!

This Tanner out in the middle of the hotel that we stayed in Rincon. It was the coolest hotel if you look you can see the pool and then about 10 yard way is the beach. Travis and I our room open up to the pool it was so cool. We could listen to the kro kie frogs it was so neat.

I am standing on the beach looking back at the hotel. My dad and Jake had a chess game the first night and my dad smoked Jake. I don't thing Jake knew that my did could play to be honest I didn't know he could play. Jake wanted a re-match lol and I'm not quite sure but I think my dad won both times!!!

We decided to go snorkeling while there so everyone got stuff and practiced in the pool lol it was so fun!!

All the boys went deep sea fishing one morning while the girls went SHOPPING!!! Travis joked and said it was the most expensive nap my dad has ever payed for!! But they had fun, but we had more... the shopping in SAN JUAN was GREAT!!!
I hope I did look that fat in real life lol. We seen them on our way home from church. Jordan said that they are over 100 years old. He wasn't sure what it was for???

Tays was the only grandchild that got to go :) lucky him!!! It was fun to have him there he. He spent alot of time with Tanner. They spent every extra minute in the pool together. But it was so pretty here.

So at the lighthouse they had a museum and they had what I thought was a statue so I sat on it's lap and went to give it a kiss but it moved..... scared me to death!!!

This was outside of the museum. We really had fun. Travis doesn't like to travel the Marines took it all out of him :( he was trying to find something to complain about AND HE COULDN'T!!!!

This was in the Rio Camuy caves it was cool. I learned one thing about the puertrican ( I'm pretty sure thats not how you spell it but you get the point) people and that is -they are on there own time schedule, they are never in a hurry- except for when they drive!!lol

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ARE 3

I can't even tell you how I feel tomorrow the twins turn 3 can I just say WOW! The last 3 years have been some of the funnest and MOST challenging years ever. And I wouldn't change it for nothing. They are so fun. Best brothers they love each other so much and hate each others at the same time. But when it comes right done to it they can't stand to be apart. They say and do some of the cutes things ever. I have cuter pictures some where but these will have to work. I felt like this is all they did for the first 6 months haha!!!

They are so different in looks and personality. Jared is my lover :) he is always worried about Dave or anyone that us hurt or in trouble. He would sit on my lap all day if I let him. He still loves to cuddle I love to cuddle with him!! He loves the horses and our dogs he will still bring up Steve(thanks like I don't feel bad enough as it is). He has a huge bright orange blanket that he sleeps with and he won't sleep without it we have to take it everywhere. This morning he woke up asking if he could go for a ride in dad's truck. I tell Travis all the time that he is his "mini me" they are so much alike. The other day Argo (Travis's k-9 dog) and Jared were playing in the back yard Jared would throw the ball as hard as he could and Argo would jump up and catch it mid throw. It went on for about an hour or longer. Jared would laugh and laugh it was so fun to watch them play together.

Dave O Dave he is my wild Indian. He is always into something always making trouble but is so cute at the same time. Dave also has a huge blanket we have to take everywhere. I got the blanket a couple of years ago when I help the DHS cheerleader for a while. It has my name on it and some pom poms in the corner. He loves it, the corners are folded over and have little holes in the them Dave will have one finger shoved into each corner or he can't sleep :) He is so goofy. He has started to call Travis by name. It drives Travis crazy :) Dave will say "hey Trabis" dad- "you call me dad" Dave- " Otay Trabis I call you dad" Five minutes later Dave- " Hey Trabis I call you dad HU??" I just laugh and laugh. Last night at tayts ball game Dave had on Tayt's Batters gloves and had a helmet and a Bat and would make it half way on the field telling everyone "dits my ballgame- dist my ballgame" My dad is Tayts coach I think My Dave drove my dad crazy :) Dave's favorite thing is to be in the tractor with papa!!! He is so much work but at the same time so so so so much fun to have around. I LOVE MY DANGEROUS DAVE!!!!

I have had people ask me if I would do it again ... YOU BET!!!! When it comes right down to it I have loved every minute of it. The one thing I would change....I would have loved to asked Grandma Della some question. I always wonder what kind of stuff my dad got into. Who was the wild one and who was the calm one? Or maybe because the were identical they where so much alike that even their personalities were the sames. I love my kids. They are by far the best thing that ever happen to me. Right after TRAVIS!!!

New Easter Outfits

Every year for Easter my mom gets all of her grand kids now outfits, they all match. They look so cute. Thanks to the best mom ever!!! I love you!!! I couldn't do it with out you!!!
I have to say I have some pretty cute kids!!!!

Tayt drives me crazy I only had about four pictures on my camera and what does he do??? Holy Cow Kid... gotta love him!!!

EASTER 2010

Tayt is so excited to be playing baseball he needed a new glove he asks me everyday when his first practice is.

Janie has wanted this wii game since Christmas, my sister Brittany has it and brings it with her every time she comes Janie loves it.

Travis finished the fence before spring break so I could send the kids outside, so I thought that it would be fun to have the Easter Bunny bring some water guns... It was a great idea, them out in the yard playing with there water guns. Well it SNOWED and they ran through the house with water guns shooting everything and everyone. They drove us crazy all weekend!!!

Our New Fence

So I tried I can't get this blogging thing right it makes me so mad. You are getting the after pictures first. Travis worked so hard to get the the fence done so the kids could play outside and then yes it snows. The kids had a great time making a snowman but it was to cold to let the twins out for very long. But thanks Travis you are the best.

Tayt actually took this pictures it was cute. I am so glad that my kids play so good together.

Yes Janie took this picture!

I was really worried about how it would look but Travis did a great job and I really like how it turned out. And the best part is that even Tayt and Janie have a hard time getting out!!! :) They can but it is hard. We now have a swing set up and they they really like that it was a early birthday present for the twins.

The kids really enjoyed helping all the kids pitched in and helped. Jake was a HUGE help also my little brothers. Travis's dad and his little brother helped to. We had all of it done but the gates in less then a week. We were shocked to say the least!!!!

They love any kind of tractor!!!

Wrestling

We have been doing alot of wrestling around our house. The twins are WAY HARD sometime but WAY FUN. The are the best brothers. Yesterday I had Dave on my lap in a time he was cring and Jared kept pulling on my arm telling me "WET HIM GO MOMMY WET HIM GO." It was so cute!

DAVE AND JARED Best Bro's For Life!!!
