I have been volunteering in the classroom for an hour a day when ever I can!Carved pumpkins for Halloween!!!Victor's class learned the Monster Mash song and went around the school singing it!!TRICK OR TREATING with my King and Princess!!!

Better Late Than Never!!

Well sadly Kelton went back to work and the kids went back to school all together and mom got out of her mind busy. Things have started to calm down a little bit. Just in time to get ready for the holidays of course. So Here is a quick update of what We have been up to and then I hope to be able to blog more often.
Victor went back to school.Victor took part in the back to school assembly and helped read a book to the school.Finally got buds on my Zinnias and came home to them having been eaten by a grasshopper. Where are the seagulls when you need them.My Nate's mom had her baby and I got to have tea parties. It was awesome because Rowan didn't go back to school till a week after Victor and had melt downs when we would take Vic to school. Being able to tell her that Annalynn and Evan were coming over was a life saver.Victor became a Cub Scout!

Splish Splash!!

The kids and I had a good time one morning. We went to a local park that we knew had a splash pad. I was picturing one from like when I was a kid the big concrete circle with a fountain in the center. Well were we delightfully surprised when we got there and found this huge area with all sorts of water sprays. Victor loved it the most and ran around for an hour straight. Rowan was too funny. At first she was very uncertain of it and spent a long time walking around trying to walk between the showers but she eventually got into the spirit of things. Unfortunately it started to rain on us so we had to have our picnic lunch on the living room floor.

Class Act!

Well I have to say that we are really happy with Kel finding a new job. The commute is long and aggravating but I have to say that any company that would send a gift basket to you the Saturday before you start to welcome is pretty cool with us.

Best $3 I ever spent!!

So the kids and I went shopping one day to Wal-Mart. I had been looking for flip flops for Ro but hadn't had any luck. Well we were just about done when Ro announced the need to find the ladies room which is right near the shoe department. I don't know where they came from because I had looked there before but they had an entire aisle of clearance summer shoes. Well not only did they have flip flops for her but they are Disney Princess Shoes!!!! They were a little big but the point that sold them was what Ro calls them. They are her "Slip Slops"!!! Too cute!

Back Yard Play Spot

As soon as the weather got good this year we decided that it would be a good idea with the price of gas if we arranged a place for the kids to play in the back yard. We laid down some weed guard and got the kids sandbox and pool from my mom's house, then crafty mommy made a chalkboard to hang on the side of the deck. Well it has been a hit!! Rowan has spent many many hours out there which allowed mommy to get things done. We had our friends the Corless two kids for a play date so there mom could pack in peace. Then there was the week were the Seal kids came to wait for their new sister. Annalynn even said that the sand box was the best part of coming to our house. Victor in the pool with Colin and Layla
Rowan and Colin in the sand box!!
Rowan the model!
Fun with the Corless's in the pool.


Evan Loved the little climber and he was really good at it.

The five buddies playing!

One evening Rowan wanted to go out and play so bad she put one of her swim suits on over her clothes!!!

Horsing Around!

Don't Panic I know that these are not all my kids!!!! Auntie Afton wasn't feeling well the other day and we were watching our second favorite sibling crew the Seal's. It was also the night that Afton's library was having free pony rides so off we went with the 5 kids to get turns. Nathan LOVES horses but it was Rowan who was in tears when we left. She would have kept going through the line if we let her. Even little man Evan was into it. He was so cute while he waited his turn he gave me the blow by blow. Annalynn o horse. Ro o horse. Which in 1 year old is the cutest. Victor was there but he does not like riding horses so there was no cute pic of him in a riding helmet to share with you all sorry.

Nate the Great!!
Rowan kept asking "I am going to ride the horse?"
Little Man! Evan didn't even fuss a bit with the helmet while he waited.
Annalynn is the best picture poser!! I love the curls!!! She wishes sometimes that she had straight hair like Ro, but I wish Rowan had those curls sometimes too!
A natural in the Saddle. This girl loves animals. Maybe when we move if I can't find a gymnastics program for her we will look in to horse back riding.
