Posting Old Holiday Pics...late again!

2010-02-10T14:09:00.000-08:00

I never got around to posting our Christams pictures, so here they are as late as I am posting them. I love them...they turned out great. My mom took the pictures so the best part was they were FREE!

Finally posting... recent events in our lives!

2009-11-23T21:48:00.000-08:00

Yes, it has been a while since I posted...again! It has been so hard for me to get on here and post. I made some time tonight finally. I am just posting some pictures of recent things that have taken place.

Trying to get a smile from her...okay it was a half smile.

Hair and Scizzors don't mix with a 3 year old...

2009-09-24T09:48:00.000-07:00

It officially happened to me...I never thought I would have to go through it. But I shouldn't have put it pass my 3 year old Addison. If it were to happen to any of my kids she would be the one to do it. And she DID! Cut her hair of course. I went to check my craigslist accout since I had posted some items and in that 1-2 minute span of time she was able to get out of the tub find daddies hair trimmers and chop off the bangs and side of her hair.

I didn't even get mad because I new I was lucky it hadn't happened yet to me and it was my turn for this moment. So I took it in stride and said Addy now you can't have long hair and we have to take you to get it cut. She cried and said "I so sorry mommy". This was just a start to my hectic day. Not to mention I have the worst allergies :( And Savannah is home sick and was throwing up with the flu. Thank goodness she is feeling better. Oh the ups and downs of life. It is a true Roller Coaster.

We are alive and doing VERY well

2009-09-22T14:44:00.000-07:00

Since we have moved my life has taken a little while to get back in order. This is just a post to say we Are still Alive and we are doing great in Murrieta. We are enjoying it here and so are the kids. They have made alot of new friends at school, church and on our street. We have a great street. I love being close to everything.

I love being right next to my sister and having her be my gym partner. It has been a very uplifting move to say the least. Thank you to all of those people that helped us during the crazy move. We really appreciate it. OUr house is coming together slowly but surely. Having 4 kids and trying to hit the gym 5 days a week is making me put the organizing of my house on the backburner, but I think I deserve ME time so I am taking it. For those of you that need out new address it is:

36895 Centaurus Place
Murrieta, CA (of course) 92563

same cell #760-217-7445

Next post will have more picture updates for sure!

Events from July...there's a lot!

2009-07-28T21:07:00.001-07:00

Kaden turns 5 years old and had an Awesome Birthday Party... Our trip to Lake Tahoe...with no kids. :)

Kaden Rides Bike without training wheels, Yeah Kaden! Good job.

Kade is off to Kindergarten!

2009-07-11T23:18:00.000-07:00

Kaden graduated the Headstart preschool program! We are so proud of him. He is now a BIG boy off to real school. He would love to show you how big he is too. He often says " Mom look how big I am now " and he will take his finger all the way from his toes all the way to the top of his head. It is quite hilarious and of course I say " Yes, kaden I see how much you've grown, you are so Big" and he nods yes with a big smile on his face.

He may be happy he is getting bigger but we'll see how he does when he actually starts his first day of Kindergarten...he might just want to shrink a little bit to stay home with mommy. I of course have mixed emotions. I would love for him to stay my little boy but at the same time I as soooo looking forward to just a tiny bit more ME time. I still have 2 more to go but atleast I have 2 in school, so I am 50% there. I love my little man...maybe I never had any more boys because I couldn't get more perfect than him. Love you Bud.

Our families fun fourth!

2009-07-07T13:07:00.000-07:00

On the 4th we went down to Ontario for the fourth of July parade. This has been a family tradition since Louis was little. We hadn't been there in many years so we really enjoyed going again. The kids had lots of fun and enjoyed eating Ice creams while watching the parade, they were anxious to do fire works that evening so they always asked when we were leaving to do fireworks. They definitely don't have any concept of time at all.

After the show we went to one of our fav places to eat (Wahoo's Fish Tacos) and enjoyed it very much. We then had a BBQ and spent time with family and the kids got to watch dad do the fireworks and they enjoyed their yearly sparklers. It was an awesome 4th, it couldn't have been better!

Savannah lost another

2009-06-27T08:05:00.000-07:00

Another tooth that is. This is her third tooth, she lost her 2 bottom teeth at the end of last year and now one of her front teeth just fell out. Her other front tooth is very loose so she is excited that the tooth fairy will be coming again soon. She had a mouth full of blood on this last one that fell out, but she didn't cry a bit. She was and still is so proud to show everyone that her tooth fell out. Her smile cracks me up...it was definitely hard to get used to. Her Jack-O-Lantern mouth is ready for halloween, by then the other front tooth will be gone. She's so cute! I love her so much.

River Trip

2009-06-22T13:04:00.000-07:00

A couple months ago we went to the river with my mom, step dad and my sisters family. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a little R & R, well atleast as much as possible with kids talking to the ends of the night, one sleep walking and some crying and making bottles...it was great, really! Our kids have so much fun together, they love eachother so much and I will do whatever it takes to have my kids enjoy memories with there cousins and strong lasting relationships. These pictures are priceless.

Outside shower, they were washing off and having a great time.
Kade and his cousin Vaughn

Brooklyn's 1st Birthday Party

2009-06-18T13:45:00.000-07:00

Brooklyn's real Birthday is June 5th...so I am a little behind posting this, I guess I have to much going on right now...life of a mother. Needless to say we had a great time celebrating her 1st year here on earth. She is our JOY, She is why we Smile everyday, She is our LIFE, She is our EVERYTHING! She couldn't be more PERFECT...

Yay for presents!

Just starting the destruction of her HUGE cupcake.

I think she did pretty good, and loved every bit of it.

Savannah Graduates Kindergarten, she's growing up!

2009-06-16T16:16:00.001-07:00

On June 5th Savannah had her graduation. We are so proud of her and we love her sooo much. I can't believe she'll be in 1st grade next year. Oh, how the years fly by...

Just when I thought leaving the kitchen was okay...

2009-05-27T21:39:00.000-07:00

This is what happens when you leave a 3 year old in the kitchen with a baby. My sweet Addy was eating lunch and Brooklyn was in her high chair crying for more green beans so she took it upon herself to be the mommy for a second and give her more...well not only did she give her more she gave her the whole bowl full! As I walked in the kitchen wondering what all the noise was I see Addy with a broom and dust pan TRYING to clean up her mess. It was hard for me to get mad at her...she was TRYING to help me feed the baby and then TRYING to clean up after herself. She'll be a great Mommy someday but hopefully a cleaner one. :)

Saying our good- byes to Jake Dog

2009-05-12T13:53:00.000-07:00

My mom's Dog Jake has been apart of the family for 10 years, so my kids( oldest being six) don't know life without him. He has been a wonderful dog, river dog, friend and playmate to the kids. This last week my mom found out that he has a tumor on his spleen that will burst at anytime, when it does he will die and thankfully it will happen in his sleep. His pediatrician said that he probably has no longer than 4 weeks at most and there is nothing they can do to save him. Yesterday we all went down to my mom's and had a great day celebrating the life of Jake and all our memories we have shared with him. We had so much fun and took lots of pictures with him.
The day before we went down to my mom's we watched Marley & Me with the kids (of course we fast forwarded all the adult parts and enjoyed only the dog parts) When it got to the end and Marley died the kids were sad but started to ask questions about where animals went when they died. I proceeded to tell them about Jake and his tumor so they would be prepared when he died. The movie was perfect because Jake is a Yellow Lab just like Marley in the movie so it really hits home for us. At my mom's we also had a FHE (Family Home Evening)on resurrection and explained to them that when our animals die they will be resurrected like us and their body and spirit will come together again and we will be able to see them again. Their faces lighted up and they were so happy. Jake this post is dedicated to you, we love you so much and we are so happy you filled our hearts with joy and love!

USS Midway in San Diego

2009-04-28T21:15:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we went down to Encinitas to see my uncle who is a Dr. in Holistic medicine and Chiropractor. While we were there they had a Farmers Market on Encinitas Blvd. so of course we went to check it out. We had Quivers smoothies which are the best, Kettle corn popcorn (yummy), and the best Hot Dog stand around. The kids of course had huge regular hot dogs, I had a Polish sausage dog and Louis had the Hungarian sausage dog...he had to he's Hungarian. They were amazing and so tasty and juicy...okay I am drooling I have to wipe off my mouth.

After that we went into San Diego to tour the USS Midway Museum. The USS Midway is an Aircraft carrier that was used in WWII all the way to the liberaton of Kuwait in 1991. No other aircraft served longer than the USS Midway. This museum opened to the public in 2004 and by 2007 had over 3 million visitors. It was way awesome. Highly recommended.

So here are a few pictures of our tour in San Diego...

This was the Tomcat Jet, the one from Topgun.

The 1 thing I love about Cali and Sunshine...

2009-04-07T21:53:00.000-07:00

THE BEACH of course...this last weekend we decided to take advantage of the sun and head on down to the waves. Sitting on the sand you could see Catalina Island so clear and all the way to the top of Mt. Baldy. It was gorgeous. Sad to say, but in savannahs 6 yrs of being alive she has only been to the beach 2 times. This last weekend was her second time but I swear she loved it as if we went all the time. In fact all the kids did. It was such a nice relaxing day, a very much needed break from all the worries and stresses in life. We definitely need to do it more often. So ladies reading this I say we get together and have some fun beach days this summer with the kiddos...

eatin good ol' PB & J sandwiches, What else would you eat at the beach than a SAND wich? Addy dropped hers so many times it was a SAND wich.

she wasn't to sure about the sand and water thing...the water was a little cold.

This picture says it all, if you know my kids then you'll understand. Savannah STILL singing of course, Addy with only one eye open...hahaha, and Kaden well he better stop posing like that or else I swear I'm gonna have 4 girls. He needs a football.

He loved the playing in the sand.

Trying to sunbathe while Brooky sleeps on me, I loved cuddling her.

They all took turns getting buried in the sand, and loved it.

My sweet strawberry punch girl, her mouth was red all day.

Loving her bouncer at the beach.

Brooklyn 9 1/2 months in bath...

2009-03-30T08:48:00.000-07:00

So Gorgeous!

I had to capture these moments of her loving the bath. She could stay in there for hours if I let her. She has never cried while giving her a bath, maybe she'll be our water baby!!

Remembering my Childhood through my Kids

2009-03-17T19:51:00.000-07:00

As I walk in the girls room to check on them (well to make sure they are sleeping and not talking)I find them like this...I thought it was so adorable. I went back to when I was a little girl and how much fun I had with my siblings building forts, playing house, school, and just having fun being a kid. Savannah put a hideaway tent on top of her bed to sleep in and of course Addison couldn't miss out on all the fun so she joined her. Here they are sleeping inside the tent.

There cute feet hanging out of the tent.

Here's Addison laying on the floor the next night...She must have been so exhausted she just crashed. It doesn't look to comfortable:)

SleepOver and pictures my kids take while stealing my camera!

2009-03-06T11:02:00.001-08:00

The kids had their friend luke over for their first sleepover. Well actually it was kaden's first sleepover since he is a boy and kaden kept asking me to have him come and sleep over. As you can see from the pictures Addison thought it was her sleep over as well. I had the girls sharing the bed and the boys on the floor...well it didn't stay that way for long. They watched a movie and ate popcorn and crashed at almost 10pm. Well luke crashed first, my kids were to excited to fall asleep. And then at 6:10am I hear talking already, I was in complete shock. Luke woke up realizing he was not at home and was so happy he had a sleepover he started talking and waking up everyone else. I was a bit tired that day but the kids had fun and atleast we don't have sleepovers everynight...:)

Random pictures my kids take...Gotta love it!

Our next February Birthday goes to ... ADDISON!

2009-02-27T10:28:00.000-08:00

Addison (my third baby) will be 3 tomorrow February 28th. I can't believe it. I remember the hospital room I delivered her in, the visitors and the words spoken after having her, Perfectly! She's all grown up :( Well she's still my baby and always will be.

Happy 3rd Birthday !! Sweet Girl

Yesterday we went to Chuck E. Cheeses to celebrate, one of her favorite places. It was so nice. She loved it and I loved not having to clean up the mess. Here are some pics of her party.

Happy Anniversary my love...

2009-02-10T09:14:00.000-08:00

Yesterday the 9th of February was our Anniversary and with it being a day late, I still wanted to make a post to my Husband and tell him how much I love him. We are at our 7th year of marriage and time sure has flown bye. We have 4 amazing children together and I couldn't imagine my life any other way. Our life has not been perfect but whos has? All our ups and downs have made us stronger people and more in love everyday...You are such a great father and husband. You are the hardest worker I know of and you always try to do your best to help better your family. I know you would do anything for us and I love you so much for that. Thankyou for putting us first and for helping me around the house and always showing your love for me...you love spending time with your family and always taking us on great day adventures. My love for you is unconditional...Happy 7th and 7+ more to come.

I would post wedding pictures but I can't scan them...I wish we had digital back then :(

My Oldest is SIX!

2009-02-09T14:25:00.000-08:00

We had a family party for Savannah at my sister in laws house (Loma). It was nice spending time with family and eating lots of yummy food.

Her new bike, she loves!

Happy Birthday SAVANNAH! February 3rd is Savannahs real b-day but Saturday the 7th we celebrated at chuck e cheeses with lots of friends, some family, pizza, games and cake. It was very chaotic (sp) but lots of fun. I don't recommend saturday b-day parties there unless you reserve ahead of time and of course we thought getting there at 10 am would be good enough for finding seating, well lets just say we were wrong:) We made the best of it and I don't think the kids even minded that we were a little crowded. They had tokens and games and that's all that mattered.

Cousins and Best friends

Happy 6th Birthday, Vannah!

Here's a cap on the last month of our fun adventures!

2009-01-29T15:15:00.000-08:00

Since Louis had the day off work on Martin luther king day we decided to go to the L.A. Zoo. We had lots of fun with the kids and they of course had fun as well, like all kids would of course.

Louis and I had a date day to California Adventure and D-land. Louis' mom came over at 11am to watch the kids all day (thank you so much) and I left to meet him down the hill. We were shocked by how quiet our drive was and how little yelling took place. We LOVED the time spent together as if we were newly married wtih no kids and we also got to ride all the rides WE wanted to go on. Great day!!

Yes that is us in the front, we just had to do it!

And once again, louis being his crazy, funny self!

About 2 days later we took the kids to California Adventure, we have been going a lot lately since our passes expire Feb. 2nd. We are going to be so sad on that day. Maybe in a year or two we'll be back. Here are some snaps of our day with the kids, and just to put it in writing "Soaring over California" is my favorite ride yet!

Waiting for the HSM3 parade, savannah took the picture, they loved watching it.

7 Months Today

2009-01-05T15:06:00.000-08:00

My Beautiful Miss Brooklyn...I love you more than words can say. I am so glad that Heavenly Father sent you to our family. I can't believe it's already been 7 months that you came into our world...

You...
smile, coo, talk(your own baby language), giggle, cry, try to crawl, getting really good at sitting up, love your bottle, don't really like jar food and zipper your mouth shut after a few bites, love your bouncer, love standing up, love daddy, love when daddy plays with you, don't sleep through the night yet(but hopefully soon:), love to grab things when we are holding you and try to shove it in your mouth, make us smile and laugh, love your siblings soooo much even Addison when she pulls on you a little hard, complete our family in every way!

Santa came...and family time at Christmas.

2008-12-31T10:06:00.000-08:00

This was our tree the night before Christmas...and then the kids woke up and to their suprise Santa came and they couldn't stop giggling and smiling...and then the wrapping paper was destroyed and all was well :)

Later that evening we went to my moms to enjoy an awesome Roast Dinner and spend time with family. My mom gave each of us kids a very special Christmas gift from the past. You may think okay that's weird but to us these items were very much a part of our life growing up so they hold much meaning. My brother got the old sugar container we used to have at our Diamond bar house growing up...we had it for years. My mom gave my sister a Ladle from a china set that our Great-Grandma gave her and I received a glass casserole dish that my parents received at their wedding and also that we ate out of frequently growing up. Now I can make casserole dishes out of it for my children...

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow...And so it DID!

> Louis throwing kaden in the snow
Addisons 1st time to see snow.

The snowman we made and named "jolly"
Kaden having fun in the snow, sorry it's sideways.
Louis woke me up at 6:45am to look out the window... and all I saw was white. It was gorgeous. So it has been snowing all day long and we have about 13 inches of snow at our house right now. We love it. We went to Target and got snow gloves and beanies for the kids as we came home we tried to park in the driveway but we had so much snow we were slipping and sliding and we had to park out on the street. So to say the least we are stuck at home, but we don't mind because all we want to do is play in it...so we did for hours. We made a snowman named "Jolly" and we had a snowball fight, the kids could barely walk without getting their shoes stuck in the snow. We came inside to warm up by the fire and we drank our Hot Cocoa and watched some Christmas movies together. It's been a GREAT day and one we will NEVER forget. It may not be a white Christmas but it's close enough for us. Thank you for coming snow, come again soon. :)

Loving the snow

Warming up by the fire

Christmas Traditions

2008-12-14T22:18:00.001-08:00

My family has a few Christmas traditions that we enjoy every year. Our big one is getting together and having a Family Christmas Party. My grandma had 8 children so it is quite a party. We have a family gift exchange, a great dinner, christmas caroling and Santa comes to visit the children and of course they love getting their first little present for the Holidays. Our Christmas Party was on Saturday and it was so nice visiting with family and getting in the Holiday spirit. We hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

On friday the kids and I went down to my moms in La Verne and decorated christmas cookies. This is just another Family tradition that I love to share with my kids. They have a blast smothering the cookies in frosting and sprinkles. They are the best cookies ever at christmas time. This is one tradition I will continue in my family...and one day I will get to do this with my grandkids.:)

On Thursday night the kids and I had so much fun making our first Ginger bread house. The kids are now at an age where we can start having some fun family traditions that we will do every year, and this for sure is one of them. They loved it.

Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus – Beebo

Just another one of her moments...

2008-12-07T15:51:00.000-08:00

Oh yes my lively, energetic, wonderful daughter decided to get into my make-up while I was getting ready for church. So she smeared mascara all over her lips thinking it was lip stick. Louis said it would be great for a halloween costume if she was going to be something gothic or scary. Very true!

Floor OR Bed, you pick?

2008-12-03T14:07:00.000-08:00

As you can see my almost 3 year old girl Addison has chosen the FLOOR! She has been only wanting to sleep on the floor for about a week. I don't know how or why it started but it did and she makes me laugh every morning I see her sleeping on the floor once again. So today I gave her the option befor eher nap. I said "Do you want the bed or floor?" I couldn't believe I was giving my kid an option to sleep on the floor but as you can see that's the only way she sleeps happily. And that's all this mommy wants.

Twilight JUnKies!!

2008-11-22T15:47:00.000-08:00

We FINALLY did it! We left at 7:00pm in our PIMPED out LIMO and headed down to Panera Bread to have a very tasteful dinner and then stood in line for about an hour. We had tons of fun in the Theater yelling things to Edward on the MOvie Screen, laughing and just being plain immature-so much fun. We then left at about 12:45 am to have a scary ride home with our gang banger driver. Sorry I would write about it but I can't go there again. We got home at 2:00am and then went to Rachaels house to have an after-party, well some of us did. We sat and talked about some crazy stuff while wanting to fall asleep and some of us wanting to still throw up from the Limo experience. It was great fun though, really! And the rice krispies totally hit the spot. Questions?
Q Did I like it?
A Yes
Q Was it what you thought it would be like?
A Some parts yes, Some parts not at all
Q Did you like the Actor Edward
A Not at first and now I love him to death-soooo hot!
Q Was Bella what you expected in the movie?
A She is cute and I think a little dramatic in parts and sometimes monotone. She may grow on me.
Q Favorite Actor?
A Edward and Esme
Q Was it worth seeing?
A Definitely, just don't get a limo- WORST part of the night!Especially a personal party owned limo from Adelanto. GHETTO!
All the girls I went with, Sorry not a clear picture.

Okay, don't even ask!! We were drunk on Stater Bro. water and lack of sleep. Just a little crazy and having a great time together.

Thanks for a fun filled night girls. I think we all know eachother in a different light now. LOL!

Here's a little taste of our Family Pictures...

Louis says "We're leaving in 4 hours, so get packed" Liz says "UHMMM, what?

2008-11-14T16:39:00.000-08:00

Football, where else? So we left on Thursday at 3:30 to drive to Las Vegas to make the UNLV vs Wyoming Football game. I was pretty scattered brain when leaving but then I did get to finish "Twilight" on the drive out and it was a great little break. We got to the game a little late, but had lots of fun. We stayed at South Pointe Hotel which I thought was a pretty cool Hotel for only 49.00-great deal. And then we woke up at 9 am (sleeping in of course) and had a great Buffet just to turn and drive back home again. It was fun and very worth it. And of course Louis had to bring his only son to the Football game.

The Longest Halloween Day in History...

2008-11-06T13:21:00.000-08:00
Starting off Halloween Day I woke up at 7:00am(should have woke up at 6:30)to get Savannah off to school in her costume for the Historical Fall Festival that started at 8:45am-9:30am. She had to pick a Popular Historical figure and stand up in front of the kids,teachers and parents and in memorization state 5 facts of this person. Savannah picked Florence Nightingale and she did a wonderful job. She was the loudest in the class, I think she really enjoyed the attention. :)So here is a picture of her waiting to be called up for her turn.

At 10am we had a Halloween Party at our house. Everyone thought I was crazy for throwing this into my day and I was, but knowing that kaden and Addy never had a Halloween party I had to be supermom and let them have fun with friends. At least we have pictures and memories so the kids will know how much fun they had when they were little.

After the Halloween party we had to rush to go get savannah by 12:45. We stayed at her school for their Fall Festival. The kids got there faces painted, pretend tattoos, played games ,learned a dance, made bird feeders, and frosted cookies. They really had a fun time but we had to pull them away from all the fun by 2:30 so we could go to Costco and put all our pictures on disc since our memory card was full. Wow! this was a long day.

At around 3pm we got the kids changed to drive down to my moms in La Verne. We arrived around 5pm and continued the rest of halloween there. We ate Witches Brew(this is a famous stew my mom makes every year for halloween) we took the kids trick of treating and came back to her house ready to put our feet up. We talked and laughed and ate some yummy candy. Leaving at around 10pm and getting home around 11pm. We had the longest halloween day ever and my body is still recovering.

Great yard props!

Driving to my moms, Kaden already crashed out in the back

All the grandkids

On the Wednesday before Halloween we went to our ward halloween party. We sat in chairs handing out candy through the hall ways of the building. The kids were all in a line and of course they made their way around 2 if not 3 times. Their pumpkins were full of candy and there was actually no need to go trick or treating, but of course we can't skip halloween! Savannahs glass slipper fell off her foot that night and broke, she truely was Cinderella...

The funniest clown I have seen

My cute little munchkins

Going, Going, Gone...

2008-10-29T14:23:00.001-07:00
After a couple weeks of contemplating, I finally did it. Well I actually didn't do it my friend Jenni did it. Addison looks adorable thanks to you jenni because you know I would have destroyed it. Addisons hair is thin and hard to keep looking cute. I am growing out her bangs so her hair is always in her eyes. She always looked like she just woke up and I didn't do anything to her hair and I have to admit somedays I didn't because it was just to much for me to handle, I never know what to do with it. So here she is the new little Addy, we just love it. I feel like I can finally manage her hair and not have her look like a homeless child.

Just got done crying, all I had to say was Chuck e. cheese and her smile was big and bright.

Now all I need to do is have jenni get her hands on my little savannah.:) hint hint

Pictures at the LA Temple and kaden's pre-school

2008-10-18T09:46:00.000-07:00
The kids and I went to the LA Temple about a week ago and we had a great time. I got some good shots of the kids and some not so good shots-the sun was in their eyes a lot of the time. I had the chance to go with my sister in laws Loma and Amanda. We all brought our kids. We ate at Chilis afterwards and just enjoyed the day together but we were very ready for a nap at the end of dinner.

I thought this was such a beautiful flower so I had to get a pic of it.

Kaden just recently started pre-school at Head Start which is a great program. The first couple of days he was a little unsure but I think he is getting the hang of being away from mommy for almost 5 hours. He loves that he has homework(well that is what they call it) it's only 1 worksheet but he thinks he is so big. So when savannah is doing her homework he says "mom can I do my homework". I love that he loves to learn. He also takes the bus which is so convenient for me as well. He likes it more and more every time he goes on it. My little boy is growing up fast. I am sad that time goes so fast. I need to cherish these times.

The many faces of Miss Brooklyn...

2008-10-08T14:56:00.000-07:00
My little cutie pie Brooklyn Grace is already 4 months old, WOW! how time does fly... She is in the 90th percentile for her weight at almost 15 pounds and 75th percentile for her length. I guess that explains why she went from wearing 0-3 month clothes to 6 month clothes overnight. I love her smiles, her coos, her laughs and even her sad pouty face. She lights up all of our days. The other kids still can't get enough of her. And I can't either :)

Savannah loves picking her up and showing me that she is such a big girl! She says "mommy see I can pick her up, I am big" and I say "yes you are big now please put her down" and she of course says with her attitude " I told you I could do it mom!" I get totally freaked out when my kids try to hold her. I can just see them tripping on something and there she goes falling to the floor. I would just die!! And then I would go to jail for being an idiot mom or something, okay enough with my rambling.

Comparing Apples to Apples

2008-09-20T22:59:00.000-07:00
Everyone has to have atleast one family tradition and ours is going to the Oak Glen Apple Orchards in Yucaipa. We have a blast and of course the kids do as well. We go up during apple picking season and also we try to go up in early October to pick our own pumpkins. We get to pick all different kinds of apples and they even let you sample what's out there on the trees so you know what you like best. There is Red Delicious, Gala, Golden Delicious, Spartans, Granny Smith, McIntosh and lots more...there is a petting zoo for the kids and lots of yummy restraunts and an awesome bakery. In October they also have hay rides for the kids. It is mucho fun!
So when picking our apples we literally are comparing apples to apples.

This is the first place we go to (tradition) we get our Apple Butter, Apple Cider, Apple Pumpkin Butter or whatever else looks so yummy that we have to buy it.

My mom and stepdad came and met us up there.

Kaden and Grandma picking apples

Addison picking apples, she had so much fun!

We also had the experience of picking our own rasberries and for me this was the most fun, especially eating them right off the vine. The kids were in love with the rasberries they couldn't get enough. So by the end of this adventure I was in much need of stain remover. They would eat them and of course wipe their hands all over their clothes. I will be in the laundry room if anyone needs me.:)

And the last event that actually happened on the way up to the Apple Orchards was Savannahs 2nd tooth fell out. Well she actually pulled it out. It came out exactly 1 week after her first tooth fell out. I am glad this time she didn't swallow it and we have her tooth to keep(I mean the tooth fairy has her tooth to keep):) She is so excited again and I hope her teeth give the fairy a little break cause her wallet is looking a little empty.

Does the tooth fairy give $ for swallowed teeth?

2008-09-14T17:59:00.000-07:00
This past Saturday Savannah and Kaden both had soccer games. Savannahs game was at 11am and Kadens was at 2p.m. We told the kids if they were good for the day then we would get them Ice Cream from the Ice Cream Truck. They both played their little hearts out and they were pretty good for us for the most part.

Well Savannahs two bottom teeth were loose. So when we were driving home from Kadens game after they ate their ice cream I looked back and noticed that 1 of savannahs teeth were gone. I asked her where her tooth was and she didn't even know it fell out. So needless to say she swallowed her tooth and as sad as I was that we couldn't put it under her pillow I am not about to wait for her to go to the bathroom to find it.:) I am not that desperate.LOL So she wrote a note to the toothfairy of course with our help. The letter said:
Dear Toothfairy,
I lost my tooth at my soccer game today. I think I swallowed it. Can I still have money for it? Love, Savannah
Well when she woke up in the morning she came in my room and of course I was still tryin to sleep so she noticed that I was still sleeping and left my room. About 15 minutes later I got up wondering where she went and I found her in bed again. I asked her if she was still tired and she said ya I am trying to go back to sleep so the toothfairy will come. I said well look under your pillow. She showed me that her envelope was still there thinking that her letter was still inside. I said open it and she happily opened it finding $5.00. She was so cute. Now all she is doing is wiggling the other one so she can get more money from the toothfairy. Man that toothfairy must be rich!

A Different America Today

2008-09-11T10:30:00.000-07:00
I found this on a friends Blog and thought it was very necessary to post. Please don't stop reading you have to hear this!

President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq. Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII. It is not.

Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders.
Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not.
And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today. Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the President because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in WWII and worked together to win that war.
Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in. Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort.
Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort. Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition, trying their best to join the military. Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining.
You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President. Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our President. Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale.
And a bunch even enlisted.
And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a Pledge of Allegiance, and with prayers for our country and our troops!
Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage. No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies. A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being 'tortured' by being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning. There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crack heads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets.
No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism. He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve.
It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorra and the land of Oz. We did unite for a short while after 9/11, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some sacrifices.
We are in great danger. The terrorists are fanatic Muslims. They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. It has been estimated that about one third, or over three hundred million, Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists' cause... Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits. So... We either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.
America is not at war. The military is at war.
America is at the mall, or watching movies.

Louis and Lyals hiking weekend!

2008-09-09T14:00:00.000-07:00
Louis and his buddy Lyal went hiking up to San Gorgonio this past Thursday. They have been wanting to go hiking together for such a long time and they finally did it with there busy schedules. They had a blast and I am sure enjoyed some guy time away from the wives and kids.:) Well here are some pictures of the trip. I don't have any pictures of them together but that's guys for ya!

Standing at the highest point in SoCal. Louis said he could see the salton sea all the way to Catalina island.

1st day of Kindergarten

2008-09-08T11:56:00.001-07:00
I can't believe my oldest is in kindergarten. She is so excited to be going to school. She goes from about 8:20-2:40 and she is loving every bit of it. I have to admit I miss her but I am also loving having 3 at home instead of 4. And even with 3 it is hard enough. Have a fun time at school savannah banana.

Daddy came to send her off to her first day of school.

This is savannah with her teacher Miss Candice. It is hard to see because savannah is blocking the sun out of her eyes.

Catchin' up on the blog...

2008-09-02T09:44:00.000-07:00
So life has slowed maybe just a small amount, atleast enough to where I am able to post and catch up on my blogging. We have been going and going ever since we got back from vacation. I am making time to do it. I have to or else it will never get done. We ( louis and I) went out to Oklahoma because louis had a job interview out there. While we were out we visited my dad in Arkansas who is only 1 1/2 hrs away. My brother and his wife live out there as well. So here are some pictures of louis and my Bro fly fishing at a lake in Arkansas. Although no fish were caught, he still had a blast. Maybe next time babe! There are some more posts under this one, so take a look...

Addison loves to try on other peoples clothes. She loves trying on savannahs shoes and dresses but this was so funny I had to get a picture. She had on 2 different pairs of tights. One pair on each leg and the sandals were hilarious. I guess she was getting ready for church :)

So this is addisons new little thing that she does during the day when I don't know where she is and she is being so quiet that I know she must be doing something she's not supposed to be doing. Yes! She takes out all her clean clothes at least twice a day and puts them in the dirty laundry basket. Just a little annoying... but then she looks at me and giggles with her cute smile. It's so hard to put that adorable face in time out.

This was another part of our vacation that I had to post. We went to the Salt Lake Temple Square and it was very special to be with my eternal family. We enjoyed the time together.

COLORADO, here we come...

2008-08-11T15:11:00.000-07:00
We recently returned home from a week long Road Trip traveling over 3,000 miles with 4 kids, one of them being 2 months and having to stop and nurse her every 2-3 hours and to top it off we all got sick with the cold. Even though it sounds like we had the worst trip ever, suprisingly we had a blast! We traveled through 5 states and had the opportunity to see gorgeous scenery. It was amazing! Since I have so many pictures it will be hard to make this post short. Now come with me and take this journey of our vacation. Lots of sights to see! We headed off on Thursday afternoon and drove 11 hours to Albuquerque,NM. We got in at 3:00a.m. and woke up at 7:30 a.m.-not alot of sleep (of course we were on the kids time) After getting all of us ready we left at 10:45 a.m. and went into Old Downtown New Mexico.

The kids in front of the New Mexico flag
All their jewelry was handmade and of course I had to get something cute!
Kaden on the canon
Louis and I eating at one of their mexican restaraunts-kaden took the picture,he's pretty good.

After seeing the area we went further north into Taos,NM and Angel fire,NM. Taos is Julia Roberts home town, sadly we never caught a glance of her,I was hoping:( These little cities were probably the prettiest places I have been to. I think Angel fire beat taos by a hair. I felt like I was in a dream, the only way I knew I wasn't was because of the loudness of my kids in the back seat asking for more snacks. Those snacks truely did save our trip.

The kids eating Ice cream In front of the famous "Chocolate factory" and sitting next to "Rocky" the Bear who has been on that bench for years.

Up ahead...Colorado Springs,CO. We left the beautiful scenery in NM and went to another gorgeous state of Colorado. Here we spent most of our time on our vacation. We came and visited my dear friend Jodie who let us stay with her for 5 days. She is so sweet to let us come in and change her life for 5 days. She showed us around downtown, including the Denver Aquarium, Hard Rock Cafe for Dinner ,the Colorado Springs Zoo, and the Air force Academy where her husband is stationed. Louiss' highlight of the trip was Mt. Evans "the highest paved road in the world" it actually was very cool. It was a little scary driving up there but the scenery was awesome. I loved Colorado!

All the kids having fun before we went into the Aquarium.

How cute!

Louis loves planes, his dream job was to be a pilot.

MT. EVANS TRIP...

This shows what you need to do when lightening strikes since we were so high up.

We don't have a lot of pictures of Brooklyn but she was there with us. We had to take this picture of her so she didn't feel left out.

SAYING GOODBYE TO THE HENDRICKS FAMILY...

Thank you so much, We love you guys!

RETURNING HOME TO CALI...

The kids going to bed at the Hotel in Cheyenne,WY. They love sleeping in hotels like their Mommy!

In the middle of the night this is what they looked like-too cute, we had to get a picture.

After their showers we got a picture with Wyoming land in the background.

AWWW! They were holding hands, that's what we like to see.:)

We had huge thunderstorms on the road, the kids were scared but we thought it was pretty neat.

More pictures on the road home

I didn't know if it would be wrong posting this picture but it was so funny I did it anyway...my lovely son. He is just so darn cute!

me and brooklyn

Savannah and Brooklyn waiting in the car while we had a pee stop.

Well that sums up our vacation. I have so many more pictures to post but of course I can't post them all. We had a great trip and even with it being hard I am glad we did it and we had those wonderful memories with the kiddos.

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY KADEN!!

2008-07-30T10:27:00.000-07:00
I can hardly believe that it's been 4 years since I had my sweet baby boy. Kaden had his Birthday on July 27th and it feels like yesterday that I was holding him in the hospital. I felt so blessed and full of love and joy knowing that he was mine for all eternity. I as still so happy and love him more than ever. He brings so much life, laughter and love to our family. I could never imagine my life without him. He's still my little man, but growing up so quickly. I am sad to see the years fly by but I know we will have wonderful new memories with him. Mommy and Daddy love you sooooooo much kaden. We hope you had a great Birthday!

Thank you all for coming and giving kaden and very Happy Birthday!!

Graduation Day!

2008-07-26T09:30:00.000-07:00
WOW! We are so excited for Louiss' big accomplishment. It took him a little longer than we had anticipated due to 4 kids, full time job and church callings but he stuck in there and we finally did it, it was hard but all worth it! I am so proud of him and all his hard work and I am so glad it's over. It definitely took a toll on the family. Louis actually was done with his last class in February but his actual walk day was this last saturday. Now it's on to his Master's Degree, I don't know if I am ready yet!:) I guess the sooner the better.

Visiting my friend Jodie and the very sad event...

2008-07-20T14:53:00.000-07:00
My long time friend Jodie lives in Colorado Springs, CO. She came out to Cali about 1 1/2 weeks ago to visit her family and friends. So I decided to drive out to Hacienda Heights (her parents house) with the kids and have a fun filled day with her and the kids. The kids swam in their spa which is so big the kids consider it a pool, we ate lunch had peanut butter and marshmallow rice crispies and just talked about old times together. It was a blast. Savannah made friends with her daughter Taylor and had such a fun time playing with her asked to go back to her house the very next morning we got home. Kaden and Addie fell in love with Nonnie which is what all the grandkids call Jodies mom and now my kids see her as their nonnie too. Kaden also enjoyed playing trains with Mason, well that's only when Mason decided to take a break from the spa. he was so cute! We were actually having such a good time I kept forgetting to take pictures. And then it happened...

Jodies son Mason who is almost 2 1/2 yrs old fell back into the fireplace. We both rushed over hoping it would only be a bump. I picked him up to help him into Jodies arms and felt something wet on my fingers, thinking it was only water since he was wet from the spa, I looked down to see lots of blood on my hand. I then looked up and poor Mason was covered in blood. Our day then came to a close with a trip to Urgent care and 3 staples in little masons head. We still had a great day and loved visiting with everyone.

I am catching up on a few postings since life has been busy, check out my other posting below...

Roasted Corn and Family...

2008-07-20T14:33:00.000-07:00
About 2 1/2 weeks ago we had Louiss' parents over for dinner. Well I never told Louis until he got home from work that I invited them over. He asked what are we having and I said "I didn't know yet, probably just whatever we have here at the house" he then said" well I will go to the store and get some corn. Right then I knew he had to show off his new Roasted corn recipe with his parents. He is so funny! Needless to say we had a great night and of course the kids had to show Grandma and Papa their new pool that they love so much. We played baseball in the backyard ,jumped on the trampoline while eating seconds on the fabulous corn, swam in the pool and enjoyed eachothers company. :) I love summer evenings!

Kaden showing of our new pool

Blessing day for Brooklyn...

2008-07-11T14:39:00.000-07:00
Last Sunday on June 6th Louis blessed Brooklyn. It was an amazing blessing. It was so nice to have family come to support and be apart of her special day. Thank you all for coming. She looks like a little angel.

4th of July, Fun in the Sun!

2008-07-07T09:54:00.000-07:00
On the 4th of July we went over to my mom's house and had a blast. I knew we needed to get in some water and cool down. I also wanted my kids to get used to the water because they are still scared to go swimming and they would of never let me let go of them. Well they finally did it! They did have life vests on but they were able to trust us that they would not drown. I felt so relieved and I was able to have fun myself. Savannah and I swam together and really had a fun time-I feel like we really bonded together. Kaden was really brave, he started jumping into the pool and he kept wanting to jump from a higher point every time. Addison was just happy to be in the water with someone holding her. We definitely kept cool.:) After the pool we went on to watch fireworks at a park in Ontario. The kids loved it. It was an awesome fireworks show.

Brooklyns new Headband-so cute!

2008-07-02T22:17:00.000-07:00
My friends threw a baby shower for me about 2 weeks ago. It was so much fun. I got a lot of nice and well needed gifts. One of those gifts was this adorable headband for brooklyn. I needed hair things for her so bad. She is always bald and I love these huge flowery hearbands. I need to get more :) Anyways, doesn't she look so cute and girly. I just love these pictures of her. Okay, sorry I am her mom I get to obsess over her.

Scripture Camp

2008-06-26T21:02:00.000-07:00
Kaden Joined in the games after a little while and then really enjoyed it.
Savannah had lots of fun and kept saying "I want to do it again".
Addison trying to join the fun!
This was at the end of the day. He was so tired and had a huge melt down. I had to capture the moment :)

Our ward does scripture camp for all the primary kids every year. Last year savannah was the only one old enough to go, but this year kaden was able to join her. They had so much fun together this year. Savannah was the yellow team called "Knights of Samaria" and Kaden was the orange team called "David's Warriors". At the end of each day they were able to yell out their team chant. They went Mon-Thurs and learned so much about the scriptures and our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for the primary presidency and all their effort put into this activity.

On Wednesday the kids came home with their own book of mormon and a bag to hold them in. Kaden thought this was so cool. The minute we got home he said mommy can you read my book of mormon, please! Of course I was so hot and trying to lug in all the kids from the car, so it wasn't really what I wanted to do at the time. I had to nurse brooklyn so he followed me in the house to the couch and was still very persistent in me reading his book. As I was sitting there next to him I realized that I could not hold back him learning the teachings of our Heavenly Father and I was so happy that he wanted me to read the book of mormon to him and I never knew when he would ever ask me to read the book to him in the future. I then read him about 7 versus and summarized it to his understanding and suprisingly he really enjoyed it and was trying to understand. I learned to take advantage of these precious and priceless moments.

Brooklyn's 1st Bath..

2008-06-16T13:21:00.001-07:00

All clean but still not sure about the whole bath thing
Well her first sponge bath went well. I wish you all could have really seen what was going on in my kitchen as I was trying to give her a bath. I had all the kids climbing up on the counter tops wanting to "help" me. Addison crying hysterically over who knows what. Louis taking pictures of the whole scene telling me how he didn't know how I was going to do it when he goes back to work. And all I could think of was that I didn't know how I would do it either.:)

My brother's Wedding at the Newport Temple

2008-06-16T12:23:00.000-07:00
My brother and his wife Bricia. They are so happy together.
The kids just loved following her everywhere. They loved her dress and thought she was a princess.

This was such a great day. My brother is so happy and in love. She is such a great person and we are so thankful to have her in our family. Congrats Tom and Bricia!!

Brooklyn's Here...

2008-06-09T14:04:00.000-07:00

On June 5th at 3:04p.m. Brooklyn Grace was born. She weighed 7pds. 14 ounces and was 20 inches long. We are so in love with her. We were actually scheduled to be induced on June 6th but she definitely wanted to come faster. We are so blessed to have her in our life. She is so perfect and beautiful. We could never imagine our life without her.

Not Cute Prego Pictures!!

2008-05-28T14:28:00.000-07:00

I am shocked that I am even posting these pictures, I look horrible. Since the kids were the only ones home I asked them to take pictures of the baby in mommies belly. I don't think I have taken any pictures of this pregnancy- it's sad, but true. The more kids you have you take less and less pictures of each pregnancy and child, atleast in my case it's true:) So here it is...no laughing, please! Okay, well maybe you can laugh a little bit. We had to take some silly pictures after as well.

Savannah's Preschool Graduation

2008-05-28T13:54:00.000-07:00
Last thursday savannah had her preschool graduation. She had such a good time. I don't have any pictures posted because as I grabbed my camera, running out the door so we wouldn't be late, I failed to notice that my camera chip was still in my computer at home. I brought my video camera (which is not digital) but at least we have memories taped on that. I will be getting pictures from my friend sarahs camera since she was nice enough to let me use it. When I get them I will post some pictures. Well getting back to the graduation, we just loved watching savannah up on stage. She is so full of life and loved being spotlighted in front of everyone. She danced and sang all the songs and was named and awarded "Miss Congeniality" since she posed every time someone wanted to take a picture of her. She's so much fun!

Father & Son Outing

2008-05-17T12:42:00.000-07:00
Kaden and Louis went to this park kind of close to our house. They looked at Horses, Cows and Camels. Kaden had such a good time. He played at the park and went fishing with dad again. He is going to be a pro at fishing. They stayed till late that night when other father and sons showed up to have a campfire and BBQ. He loved this special attention.

Addison's Big Girl Bed

2008-05-17T12:37:00.000-07:00
We moved some furniture around to get ready for the baby that's coming shortly. We planned to have Savannah and Addison sleep in the girl room with the bunk beds and Kaden to sleep in his room on a twin bed. I was planning on it taking a while to switch Addie over to a BIG girl bed, but once she saw that the bunk beds were up and one of those beds were hers, she didn't want anything to do with her crib. She has been in her Big bed for over a week now and she loves it. She loves staying up and talking with savannah. (which of course I am not fond of) She's not perfect, she still likes to get up and test her limits but we tell her "okay you are gonna go in your crib if you get up again" and she races back to her room. She's too cute!!

At the end of April my grandma left on her mission to Jackson, Mississippi. We are all so excited for her. We will miss her terribly but we know she is doing the Lords work and we are so proud of her. She is a wonderful women, grandma, great grandma and friend. We love you, grandma!

Kaden just loved fishin' with his Dad, even though he got the fishing line stuck on sea weed, louis still loved having that guy time with him.

We had the opportunity to get away to a couple of places recently. First, we took a weekend out to the River with Grandma and Grandad and spent time relaxing. We enjoyed the sand, water and weather. The kids had a great time. The next weekend we went out to Bishop and enjoyed fishing, going to the movies and eating at Schat's Bakery (which I highly recommend, this place has the best sandwiches and homemade bread around), the scenery was just gorgeous.
Addison having a fun time out in the sun. She loved throwing rocks in the water, of course scaring the fish away.
Savannah had such a fun time playing in the sand and building sand castles, she didn't like the cold water though:)

SOOO Beautiful!
