HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Growing Up every birthday we had a "Happy Smurfday" sign, my mom bought it when I was about 2 or so for those of you that remember SMURFS, they were all over the sign. Well it lasted through the years even 'till this day it still goes up on Family members birthdays.

So I am trying to do the same thing, a cheapy Happy Birthday sign (not as cool as the smurfs though) And I don't see it lasting even a year the "B" has already fallen off.

Jase' 4th Birthday Party was at Chucky Cheese. We had to do something Fun and inside for this birthday. We've been so spoiled living in Arizona being able to have our Family/Friends over for BBQ Birthday Parties in our nice big backyard in Januray and March. However living in a lovely cold climate now where on the day of the Party it was a warm 4 degrees with a wind chill of -20. Indoors and lots of room was a must.

Jase and MoM with some of the many Balloons!

Thankyou to all of the friends (parents) that brought the kids and Families you guys all made the party SO MUCH FUN!

Here are some of the Kids eating, It was hard to get them all in a picture. There is just way to much to do at Chucky Cheese, Pizza, Games, Rides, Cake, yikes where to begin or slow down....

We didn't really have a theme to his party, but at the store I let him look through book and pick out which one he wanted. Since there were no "car" cakes Thomas was the next choice. The little Thomas train actually moved on the track on the cake.

This is Jase' piece of cake, notice only the frosting was eaten.

A few Friends from the party... Alissa, John, Jackson, Jase & Simon

Not pictured... Gabe, Sara, Jacob, Alex, Tyler, Issac

9 pizzas, 30+ drink, a full sheet cake, 100's of tokens (some that still need to be used) and A TON of way cool Presents. The Party was GREAT!Jase is already asking for another party with the "MOUSE"(chucky)

1,2,3,....

" 4 "


We found a while ago I am Unexpectedly EXPECTING kiddo #4! (and as of now it is only one this time.)
he/SHE will be arriving in July.
I am still determined not to find out with this one. I want to go for the totally surprise. Hoping for the girl, and knowing I won't have anything girl I still want the Surprise. I'm not really in any better situation for a boy either. Seeing as I gave almost all of my baby toys and baby stuff to my sister for her little guy. And then sold the rest before we made the move out here. I figured I had a few more years not needing it. So I guess now I'll keep my eyes peeled for sales and baby clearance.
Anyways we are super excited!

We'd love to know who all is checking our blog out so we can keep in touch with you as well, and if you have a blog to so we can see what you're up to.

MERR-Wii Christmas

Did Santa COME?

At first Jase was expecting santa to still be here. Then when they went over to look

at the plate of cookies to find everything was gone, he got all excited and was

Screaming Santa! Santa Came!

PAT PAT Rocket! this was the first thing Jase would say anytime you asked him what he wanted for christmas? "Rocket" of course on his list to santa he made sure he asked for one for himself and one for brothers. How nice of santa to listen.

this christmas we couldn't have presents starting to accumulate under the tree as we recieved packages from family, because Kage would open them. We found this out when I had all of the family gifts wrapped waiting to be shipped. So we had to hide all the presents in the closet until they went to bed christmas eve. But on christmas once there were toys unwrapped Kage became uninterested in opening presents and just went from toy to toy that was already out. of course.

One of Three different Dinosaurs that santa brought

What a Big Kid

Asked for a Wii, and to his Suprise super wife was able to find the unfindable hot toy!

He had no Idea. I was extremely lucky to have been at Target just as they were getting a suprise delivery of only 20 wii systems just 5 days before christmas.

After opening...

2x Pat Pat rockets, 2x Magna Doodles, 2x remote dinosaurs, ROBOraptor, Playdoh kits, 120 piece train set, Pirate Ship, 3 shake and Go race cars, Leo's Batton(rocket accessories), Alaska Mission(another rocket accessories),bob the builder tools, 2 push and go cars, and more that I can't remember now, and then all of the Family gifts we had a great christmas.!

Christmas Eve

Sorry a little dark on Jase' pictures

Jase recieving a little extra help from brother.








Kadin Knows what to do

If you can't get the present open with your fingers there is always your mouth!

After stories, santas cookies and reindeer treats were left...off to bed and wait for santa to come!!!

New Hair Cut

So I haven't gotten my hair cut since April. I know awfull! I'm so glad a friend of ours is a hair stylest and works for a really nice salon.

With Josh's company Party tonight ( a black tie event) I had to get something done with it so it didn't look so trashy.

So this is the new do, hopefully I can get it to look like it to look good tonight, I've never been good at doing my hair I don't think. My sisters on the other hand could put their hair up with a pen and make it look like a major up-do. ;) Thanks to Brittany for the Great highlight, color, cut and style. You'll see the cut in more pictures after tonight party.

Arizona Trip

Ok so after a month and half I decided to blog again.
This was my trip that I took the begining of November. I went for Toshikos/ Tonis' Baby shower. I stayed with her and her hubby j.paul. It was great to spend time with them.
While I was there I was also able to visit with my sister and adorable nephew Grady, who has got to be one of the happiest the sweetest babies! I also Got to go to dinner with my In-laws and brother and sister inlaw Matthew and Michelle and got to meet my newest nephew Emerson. Wwho is aslo very adorable!
It was a great little vacation, Thankyou so much to Josh for insisting that I go and buying my ticket. The only down side was that Tahoe that he rented for me to drive was a dangerous move. becuase of course I came home wanting one. well only two years left on the durango. Or if the family grows soon than that maybe I can swing one earlier. ;)
