Ammon's 8th birthday party

We had a lot of fun at Ammon's birthday party. We had to move it from a Saturday afternoon, Everyone had sports they were doing, to a Monday afternoon. I had the pleasure of hosting all on my own. Michael couldn't even come home for a lunch. The boys were great and we survived it all. After Goggling for Party games, I found tons to do with 8 rowdy boys. We had lots of games to play like trying to see just how many socks they could get on one foot, popping balloons and doing what it said inside ie. hopping on one foot for 30 seconds and singing Happy Birthday. Enjoy the pictures from the Ben 10: Alien Force party.

Transformers!!

I promised the boys that we would go see the new Transformers on opening day. I held true to my word and we stayed extra time in the valley just so we could see it at the CiniCapri. My dad went along with us and we all really liked it.

Talmage graduatesfrom Kindergarden

It's a big day in the life of a kindergardener when they get to put on the big black hat and get your dipolma from kindergarden. Here is my very cute Talmage on his big day! What a little stud!

Talmage has a Luau.

Talmage was so cute at his Luau. He wanted to wear his Hawaii shirt and his shark swim trunks. Really didn't match, but you know, I didn't really care. It was his fun day. They had Pizza at the Tree park and Garrett, Spencer and I headed over to join him. It was getting cloudier by the minute. We really hoped that it wouldn't rain on them. Sure enough, just before they started to do their little program, the rain started to come. It was just like being in Hawaii. It rained softly, then a bit harder. Luckily for all of the parents we were covered by big trees so we didn't feel the rain too much. And just like Hawaii the rain stopped. It was great. And Talmage had a great time.

Garrett's Celebration Ceremony!

When you're 4 and it's the end of preschool, it's nice to have a little ceremony to show all your hard work. That's what Garrett had. He got a nice certificate for having such a great laugh and sense of humor. They told us that he made them laugh every day! Here he is with Miss Haynes, his teacher from England.
This other picture is Garrett with Miss Haynes and his very best friend whom he names everything after, including his Koala Bear from Build a Bear, Ayden. My pictures didn't download and I don't have them right now...so sorry.

Spencer turns 2!!

I've been so busy doing other things, that I haven't updated the blog since April. Spencer had a great 2nd birthday. He really loves puppies, so I made him a dog bowl cake.
He thought it was cool. So did I. he actually got some real fun presents, like a Handy Manny tool truck.
All the boys really liked it, so much that they were fighting over it. But in the end everyone was excited to celebrate Spencer's birthday.

I am very blessed to have such a sweet boy in my life. He's got the best smile, especially with that dimple in his cheek. He's grown so much, in so many ways. I'm so proud of all his accomplishments. Especially as he continues to learn new words each day. At some point, he'll be talking up a storm, just like his brothers. I love you little Spencer. Thank you for coming to our family.

Garrett's 4th birthday party

I'm a bit behind, but I had to put some pictures on here for the family. We invited 7 kids and only one showed up. Garrett was doing ok, then I think he finally realized that he only had one friend there. These are the times when I'm glad I have 3 other boys to fill the space. We all had a nice time, excecpt when Ammon & Talmage were complaining that it was boring. We kept telling them it wasn't for them anyways so shut it. Anyway here are some pictures from the party.

It took me forever to figure out how to do this cake. Finally it came to me.
