October Fun!

We did some really fun things this October as a family. For Family night we took the kids to Stahli Farms to do the pumkin patch and corn maze.






We went to a really fun party at the park.

We carved pumkins




Kylee ran in the pumkin run at school (zoey didn't want to run she said she already had a pumkin so she didn't need one)


For Halloween we decided to head up to Salt Lake to spend some time with Rob, Jen and the kids and boy did we have a blast. Jens neighborhood was great to trick or treat in. The kids got tons of candy witch included a couple of full size candy bars and a soda pop.

Kylee's First Date!

Last weekend Shawn took Kylee on her first date to a 50's dance that was put on by the activity day girls and there wonderful leaders. They had such a good time and talked about it for days.
As one the activities prior to the dance Kylee, with the help of her leaders made that cute poodle skirt to wear.
Don't they look so cute!!

My sweet baby turns ONE!

It is so hard for me to believe that Anni is already one year old. I took her to the doctor the other day and she weight 23 pounds and is 31 inches tall. (Yes she is a big girl). She is in the 85 percentile in her weight and 95 percent in her height. She reminds Shawn and I a lot of Kylee when she was a baby.
We had a little Birthday party for her on the 23rd with all of her cousins. She had so much fun. She absolutely loved her cupcake and surprised me with her ability to open presents.

Sophie's Turn.....

"Is it time to go yet?" is all we have heard out of Sophie's mouth since Kylee and Zoey started school a week ago. Finally on Monday she started preshcool at the Sunshine Academy with Mrs.Janeece as her teacher. She was a little nervous when it came time for me to leave her. As most of you know she is a little attached to her mother, but she was brave and didn't cry. This morning she got up with her sisters, got ready for school, and was ready to leave an hour and a half before school started so I think the fear has tured into excitement!

Back To School

The 2009/2010 School year has finally begain and everybody was so excited(including mom.)
This year Kylee started the 4th grade and her teacher is Mr. Tait.

Zoey enterted the 1st grade and her teacher is Mrs. Munford. There were no tears this year which was a big accomplishment.

I think it helped that she had her best friend Jordan in the same class.

Back in Action

Last weekend my family went out with friends to Coral Pink sand dunes. We had lots of fun until the wind started blowing. (For those of you who haven't had the experience of being at the sand dunes during a sand storm you are totally missing out) I'm still finding sand in places it shouldn't be.

Anni wishing she could go outside to play.

The kids have tons of fun digging in the sand

My baby is growing up to fast

It is really hard for me to believe that Anni is 6 months old where does time go? When we took her to her well baby check up she weighted in at a healthy 17lbs 13 ozs and is 27.5 inches long. Tall and chubby just the way we like it. I love this girl so much there is not a day that goes by that I thank my heavenly father for letting me raise this beautiful girl. She brings so much joy to our home and makes our family complete.

Some of her milestones up to this point are:

* Holds her own bottle

* Rolls from front to back

* Sits up

* Gives the best open mouth kisses(sometimes with tongue)

* Has a pretty good nap schedule

* So far eats rice cereal, bananas, applesauce, pears, and sweet potatoes

*Got her ears pierced
First time taking a nap in her crib

Her first time eating sweet potatoes

First time eating rice cereal. You can tell by the look on her face she didn't like it.

Fun in the snow and the sand

Last week was jammed packed with lots of fun. On Monday Shawn, Sophie, Anni and I went up to Kolab with Tianna, Beau and Josh to have some fun in the snow. It was Shawn and I's first time snowmobiling and boy was it a fun experience. Sophie's favorite part was sledding, I think she went up and down the hill at least 10 times.

Then on Thursday thur Sunday the whole family went to Dumont sand dunes. Zoey was a maniac on the little four wheeler. I think the only time she stop riding was to eat and sleep. Maybe Shawn will have a riding partner after all. While we were out there Mindy's little boy Trayvin turned 1 so on Saturday she had a little party for him. It was all going smooth until my dog decided to go into Lyle and Sarah's motor home and eat the birthday cake:( I was so embarrassed. Luckily the cake was fixable so the party wasn't a total wreak. We went with a really fun group of people. We would stay up late playing camp fire games and visiting. It's one of the funnest camping trips I have ever been on.

Such a bad mom

I have to post about one of my not so proud mom moments. Yesterday a couple of friends and I decided to take the kids to the park. The weather was perfect. So nice that we ended up staying there for 3 hours. It was really fun. At least until it was time to go home.
I put Anni in the car and threw the keys on the front seat. I then picked up Max and threw him in and shut the driver side door. Max started going crazy and really wanted out. Anni's door was still open until Sophie decided she was going to help out mom and shut it. I immediately tried to reopen it think nothing of it until I realized it was locked along with all the other doors. I then started to panic. I started digging in my diaper bag to find my cell phone but it wasn't there. Not to worry it was safe in my purse inside the locked car. Then panic really set in. I saw a lady over on the park equipment playing with her cell phone so I decided to run over and ask her if I could use her phone to call Shawn. Of course her cell phone was dead. I then asked her if you would mind watching my car why I ran over to my in laws house to use their phone. The lady was really nice and agreed. On a dead sprint I ran over to my inlaws and called Shawn. Just as I got Shawn on the phone Jay, Shawn's dad, drove up. I hung up with Shawn and quickly explained to Jay what happened. He told me to jump in his truck go home and get the some more keys and he would go over to the park and watch Anni. I drove as fast as I could to get home and back to the park of course not without hitting every red light. When I got to the park and unlocked the door Anni was screaming her head off. I felt SO bad. I was so upset and felt like the worst mom in the world. I am still not sure how the doors locked. The only thing I can think is that when max was freaking out in the car he stepped on the lock button. Lesson learned the hard way.

Our Newest Addition

We got a new dog a few days ago and we are SO excited. His name is Max he is a 13 inch beagle. The kids absolutely LOVE him and he loves them.

Sooo tired

Do you think Sophie was tired? Yep still sleeping!!!

Where does the time go!!

Anni is getting so BIG its hard to believe that she is 4 months already. She had her 4 month check up on Friday and she weighed a whopping 15lbs 7oz and is 24.8 inches. On the growth chart she is 90% in weigh and 72% in length, so basically she is short and chubby.
Here are some of her milestones**
*Sleeping through the night
*Reaching for toys
*Smiles
*Giggles out loud
*eats 6oz
*loves taking baths

These are some pictures of Anni doing things for the first time. The one of her and I is her first time camping she did really well except or batteries on our trailer are bad so the kept dieing so we couldn't run our heater, so around 4:oo I woke up and her hands were ice cubes so I put her in bed with Shawn and I. The next picture is Anni with her Great Grandma Tobler who is 92 year old. Grandma is in a nursing home in mesquite now so we get to go she her. She probably wont remember we were there her short term memory isn't great but other then that she is as healthy as a horse. The bottom pictures are of Anni on her first 4-wheeler ride with Grandpa Tobler. She must of likes it because she slept the whole time the the machine was moving.
