Random pictures of the kids!

Annabelle 6 already!!!!

I can't believe Annabelle will be 6 tomorrow. Time goes so fast.

School Ends in 1 month

As happy as I am to not have to get  Annabelle ready for school every morning (this is a battle because she moves like a turtle in the morning and we battle over what she is going to wear) I don't think I'm quiet ready for it. It's so nice having 1 child at home. Triston is such a good boy during the day, but when Annabelle gets home its a different store. There is yelling, fighting, tackling, tell on each other over and over, oh and I don't know how many times I have told them not to jump on their beds!!  I'm going to have to find things to do to keep us busy so they don't drive each other and me crazy. Who knew it started at such a young age. Let just hope August comes fast so she can start 1st grade.

School Accident

Last Friday I got a call from Annabelle's school saying she got her finger smashed in the door and it will most likely need stitches. I completely froze and just pictures my daughter sitting there with her finger cut open crying. What an awful feeling as a mom. I said ill be right there to get her. Nick and I got to the school and went to the office. She was sitting there and as soon as she saw me the tears began and I had to hold back because I knew if I cried it would make it worse. The nurse stated to us at that time that she wanted me to take her to the ER or Urgent Care because it was pretty bad. We decided to take her to Urgent Care. We were there about 2hrs to be told by the very very nice Dr that she did not feel comfortable treating her there. As we got the first real look at her pinkie we saw how bad it really was. The top of her pinkie was just hanging on. She wanted us to taker her to John C Lincoln because she was afraid the bone was crushed and if that was so they may not be able to saver her finger and would have to do surgery to remove just below her nail. The worst feeling in the world!!!! We took her to the ER where they actually took us right back to a room due to her age and how bad it looked. The Dr came in and examined her and wanted x-rays. We waited around for 2 more long hours waiting for x-rays and results. Finally he came in.....bone was not hurt at all! Really great new and he would be able to put stitches in it. She ended up getting 6 stitches in her tiny pinkie. She did an amazing job. I don't even think I would have been as strong as she was. It is crazy as you look at your child and would give anything to switch spots with them to take away there pain! Being a mother is the hardest job in the world but I wouldn't give it up for anything!!!! =)

2011

Wow how time goes so fast. Where did 2011 go? No big changes for us in 2011. Annabelle is doing great in school and loves it. She is learning so much every day. Triston still loves being home with just mommy.

Random Pic

I took this random pic while we were waiting in the car for Nick. I thought the kids look so cute in it!!!

Disney On Ice

We went to Disney on Ice last weekend. It was a lot of fun. Of course we forgot the camera in the car so I took a few pics with my phone. Those aren't the best either becasue kids wouldn't sit still but oh well it was a great memory. Triston picked out the beast as a toy and Annabelle got Bell. They can't wait for next year to go again!!!

Family Pics

We took family pictures last week. The kids took some cute pics but about 30 min into it they were ready to be done. The kids are so excited for Christmas. They are really excited that my parents are coming down to Phoenix tomorrw. Christmas will be even better this year because the kids are getting older.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Arizona State Fair 2010

We went to the fair last night. We had a lot of fun. Well the boys aren't so good at taking good pictures but Annabelle took some cute pics on the rides she went on. Aunt Lindsey came to. Annabelle had a lot of fun with her. We had for the first time the famous deep fried twinkie! It was acutally pretty good. By the time we got in the car at about 8pm and got on the freeway the kids were already asleep. It was great family fun!!!!

Arizona Mills Mall

The kids and I went to Arizona Mills Mall today. We stopped by the Rain Forest Cafe and the kids wanted to take a picuture with the frog. The kids were so tired by the time we got done. We got use to the little mall in Casper, Wy which takes 15 min to walk through so this was a huge for them. We had a lot of fun and the kids took a long nap!

Schnepf Farms

We went to Schnepf Farms last weekend. The kids had a lot of fun. Annabelle got to ride a pony. She loved it. We got to pick pumpkins in there pumpkin patch, ride the train, and a few other kid rids they had there. Its a great place to take the family!
