Six Years Old

This first picture is her opening her Gift from her brothers, it was a baby Cinderella.

This next one if a horse she got from Jasmin, a friend from school.This next one is from the neighbor kids she plays with.

Kit was able to have her first friend party this year. The theme was Princess of course. We had brownies instead of cake. We played a few games and the kids had a great time. Just a little disappointed that only three kids showed up. But other than that it was a success.

Can't Sleep

Collin has a favorite blanket. My mom made the balnket to go with the nursery decor we made when Kit was born. I had to wash it and it wasn't dry by the time it was bedtime. We tried for about 20 minutes to get him to stop crying. i finally gave up and we sat and watched it go around and around in the dryer.

Disneyland and a Wedding

My Brother got Married in the LA temple and instead of just going down for the weekend we made a week out of it and went to Disneyland first. The kids had a lot of fun. We stayed a the Camelot just three hotels down from the entrance to were the trains come from the parking lot. Kit was so excited to see the princess (which I cant find the pictures to will have to ask Jared). One afternoon while the boys went back for a nap Kit meet Tink and Silvermist. she was always excited to go she had a hard time wainting which in turn made it so the boys didn't wait very nicely either. Then we went and stayed at the Paranage houseing at the Temple. and was able to see the hole family. We also got a new familt picture, still waiting to see how that turned out. This kids had a lot of fun with thire unlces and aunts and Oma and Opa. When Oma and Opa left Kit cried which made it even hard to see them go, she was only comforted when we told her we would see them again soon. It is just a few of the pictures we took. Hope you enjoy.

Early Birthday Present

Kitrina will be turning 6 this month and when we went to LA for Brandon's wedding and Disneyland Oma gave her her birthday present and she had to wear it on Sunday. She looked really cute. When we went to Disneyland there was a place that would do the little girls hair like Cinderella and she really wanted it done. i told her is costs to much and that I could do the same thing. so I did and she received a lot of compliments. The pearl necklace she is wear was given to me by my mom and thought it looked perfect. Here is our little princess.

Halloween 2009

This is our second year in Washington for Halloween. Last year we moved in the thursday the week before but our stuff didn't arrive unitl the wednesday before, So you would thing that this year we would decorate a little earlier but no I pulled all the Halloween stuff out the day of. I did manage to get the costumes the week. So here is what our kids picked out to wear.

Trip to Utah Part 2

Had so many thought I would break it up.

First day of School

So Kit started Kindergarten on Wednesday, and loved it. He went to school like a champ. So far she hasn't complained about getting up in the morning. We qualify for free lunch so she has had free lunch twice this week, but wanted to try Home lunch one day. Says she like school lunch better. She has has fun everyday this week, hope it stays that way.

Trip to Utah Part 1

He's Two

Collin Turned two years old on the 7Th. And for his birthday/labor day we went to the Seattle Aquarium. And the came home for Brownies (compliments of my Mom) and opened presents. Collin is a fan of trucks, mainly monster and the garbage. So he got trucks. My parents also gave him an Elmo before we left to come home. Sorry About the Picture layout still havn't figured this out.

Curtain Ties

So Last week or so I bought new curtains to go in the front room. They are to help keep out the heat and the cold. The old ones were a lite green color, the news ones are burgundy. I made curtain ties for them so I could tie them together to let in the sun light when it is not to warm or cold out. I am very pleased in how they turned out. So here is my creative brain came up with.This is a far away view of our front window.

A Close up of the best looking one.

All Three of them together. The bow is attached to a piece of ribbon that has buttons on the back that snap together so you don't have to tie them. So what do you think?

Inpromtu Party

Kit has been talking about having a Princess Party. so One night I tiold her she could as long as she made the invites so she did. I wrote on them and she drew a picture they were so cute. She then delivered them to her friends. I think she invited like 8 gilrs but only four were able to come and they had a great time. They drew pictures and then amde tira's and in Ethan;s case a crown. Here are the pictures.
We had the Party while Collin slept, when he woke up he also had to have a crown so here he is.

This is Becky, she lives across the street with Kendra.

Ethan and his Crown. I made it square so it wouldn't look like a Tiara.

This Is Kendra she lives across the Street.

This is either Samantha or mara I get her and her sister(below) mixed up and Kit has to correct me all the time.

Bestest Buds

Here is the story behind this picture and how Priceless it is. If you can't see it mickey's head is right under collin you can bearly see one of his ears. Collin received a baby Mickey Mouse From his Aunt Katee for his First Christmas. It wasn't until we moved in here and he was noticing that Kit carries around her Pooh Bear and Ethan carries around his TED (a teddy bear from IKEA) that he had to have something to carry around with him. So I pulled out mickey. He now carries it around with him everywhere and if we say he has to leave it at home he gets really sad but gives it a big hug and puts it on the couch and then gives it a big hug when we get home. The second miracle it that Collin was born on September 7th and Jared left for Korea October 1st just three weeks later. So one year later Jared comes home and they are instant buds. the night after Jared got home we had a going away party with the ward members, I visited with the party guests and Collin and jared hung out all night with each other and ever since they have been the bests of buds. He even gets sad when Jared has to leave for work and is the first one to welcome him home.
