March Madness

What a busy month so far! Here we are making our blankets for the Disneyland "Give a Day Get a Day" It was such a neat experience.

We signed up to make blankets for homeless or sick children. We read stories about children who received blankets in the passed and how it made them feel. The kids were more excited about who was going to be getting these blankets than going to Disneyland. It was so much fun!

Orion's science experiment. Whew... Lots of work! Orion chose to shoot different kinds of liquids into the air with these homemade rockets and see which liquid goes the highest.

It was so messy but all the boys enjoyed it!

Total Daddy's girl! She wants him over me which has never happened with our kids. I must say sometimes it makes me want to cry!

Here she is trapped.

Jana had her tear duct surgery on Friday the 12th. She did so good. Orion gave her this little stuffed animal to take with her into surgery. She held onto it the whole time.

That night Daddy brought her home a rose.

She just wanted to eat it. She loved tearing it apart!

Caden turned 2 on March 2nd. We had a little party for him on his birthday. He was so sick but still had a ton of fun. He enjoys being the center of attention.

Caden is such a cute little boy. He is full of energy! He loves to play with his brothers. He sings songs all day. Some of his favorite are Once there was a Snowman, Jingle Bells, ABC, Popcorn Popping, and Twinkle little star. He loves to play trucks and any kind of sport. If the boys are playing football or baseball he wants to be out there too. He loves to be outside. He has never sat and watched a TV show. ( I wish he would) I guess he is too busy for TV. His favorite saying right now is "I did it!" He loves to give hugs and kisses. At his last doc visit he was 37 pounds. He was in the 95% for height and weight. BIG boy! He brings so much joy into our home. I am so happy to be his Mommy. Happy Birthday Caden!

Jana does this little fish puckering thing with her lips. It is so cute!

We had a big family party for Caden on Sat. the 13th. We went to Villago park. Caden loves to be outside so it was so perfect for him!

Jana yelling at everyone next to Great Grandpa Harvey.

Grandpa gave Jana some frosting. She loved it and wanted more so she grabbed the whole cupcake.

Caden got this bike for his birthday. It makes all kinds of noises. YEA!

Corbin says "Mom check out my bling" He cracks me up!

What a little stud!

He loves football!

We have had a busy March so far. Caden's birthday was the highlight of our month so far. He is growing so fast. Jana's surgery went perfect and we couldn't ask for more. I know I've been posting a ton of pictures all at once, sorry. When I have a few minutes to do it I like to get it all in there. I'm sure you all know how it is!

February Happenings

Shay and I celebrated our 12th year anniversary on the 14th!

Wow! Can't believe how fast 12 years has gone by! We have enjoyed the past 12 years and will enjoy many many more years together!

Corbin was Student of the week. He got to take Eddie the Eagle home with him for the week.

Corbin does so good in school. We are so proud of him!

Caden loves being outside. He is such a sweet little guy!

Charger really likes Caden's Binky. It is the funniest looking thing.

Jana loves her Daddy!

Jana escaped out of the house. Anytime we leave the back door open she scoots her way out and into the grass.

Here she is scooting as fast as she can!

Craig, Jenni, Elissa, Elaina, and Rylan came for a visit! It was so fun to have them all here.

The kids are popping popcorn. They had so much fun with their cousins. Wish we all lived closer!

Jana has this new thing she has been doing with her tongue lately. She loves to stick it out. She liked hanging out with uncle Craig!

Grandma Dixie made this dress for Jana. She looked so pretty in it!

We had the Pinewood Derby on the 21st. It was a blast! Titan took first. His car was named the stinger! He did a good job!

Here he is waiting to race the Stinger. All the Cub Scouts had a great time!

February has been a busy month so far. We have had a blast though!

Jana 7 months old!

Jana loves her puppy! Charger is so good with her.

She is starting to rock.She is not crawling yet but she scoots all over the place and gets into everything!

Caden loves her. He is so sweet to her. I think they will be close. He is giving her kisses in this picture. He calls her Janny.

I can't believe my baby is 7 months old! She is such a sweet little girl. She is always smiling. She loves attention. When I take her to the store she will bat her eyes and smile at everyone. She gets tons of attention! She says DaDa. She loves daddy. I think Daddy is wrapped around her little fingers. She loves all her brothers too. They are all so good to her. Her favorite food is banana and apples mixed. She is a good little eater! She has the sweetest personality. She brings so much joy into our home!

Christmas 2009

Everyone in their new PJs

Caden thought it was too early! The kids let us sleep until 6:45. It was kinda nice. Shay didn't sleep at all during the night though. He was too excited!

Christmas morning. The boys are ready to go! Jana is still getting her beauty sleep.

Yes, Corbin is a character!

Santa ate the cookies and left a huge mess!

Daddy getting into his stocking. He was the most excited out of everyone!

Yea! Corbin got a nerf machine gun!

Caden's favorite gift was the candy in his stocking.

He was eating them faster than we could open them!

He wanted me to open two of them. I guess one at a time wasn't fast enough!

Orion's new shirt. Bagugan? Whatever those round things are. I can never say it right. The boys laugh at me. They think I'm so old!

Titan's new hat. Tennessee Titans!

Little miss Jana had a great time. She got a Cinderella Snow Globe from her Daddy.

She so sweet!

Shay's grandma got us this neat smiley face pancake maker. The kids love it!

He always makes us laugh!

Jana with her new soft blanket from Rob and Carolyn. It is so soft!

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. We sure did! I feel so very blessed to have such a wonderful family. We enjoyed Christmas Eve. We went Christmas caroling and looked at Christmas lights. Then we came home and opened our Christmas Eve gift, (PJs!) made some cookies for Santa and read the first Christmas story in Luke. On Christmas morning we decided to do things different this year. We opened one gift at a time and gave hugs and thank yous. It was really a great morning! I love Christmas. Can't wait until next year!
