Fishing with Dad

Here are some pictures I found on Ryan's camera. Reagan went fishing with Ryan and his brother Kevin while me and Kennedy went and seen High School Musical 3. Reagan had so much fun but she was really tired afterwards.

Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas. On Christmas Eve. my parents came over for dinner and to decorate gingerbread houses. It was sooo fun. The kids opened one present that night. Of course it was new Christmas PJ's. Then off to bed. Reagan took forever to fall asleep because she said she was staying up all night to wait for Santa. About 7:00 Kennedy and Jackson woke up and so I let them wake up Reagan. Now time to open presents. That took about 3 minutes. The kids were so excited they got alot of what they wanted.

Kennedy - Nintendo DS, Webkinz, Bratz, Little Pet Shops, Coat, Easy Bake Oven

Reagan - Smart Cycle, Webkinz, Bratz, Little Pet Shops, Coat, Games

Jackson - Fur Real Parrot, Little People Barn, Alot of Chevron Cars, Books

Me - Digital Pic Frame, Camping Chair, Perfume

Ryan - Body Worlds Tickets, Safe, Vest

Then Ryan's mom, Rocky, Eric and Kevin came over for Christmas Breakfast. We had such a terrific time visiting with them. I love Christmas and we really had a Wonderful one this year. I hope all my friends and family did to!! LOVE YA

Christmas Dance Performance

The girls had there Christmas Dance Performance last night. They both are having fun and doing so great. I'm just not sure if dance is the thing for Reagan. She keeps asking when soccer is going to start. Kennedy is really doing good and wants to keep going. Here's a few pictures.

I VOTED

I went and voted today. I'm proud to be an American and to live in the USA where I'm able to be free. I hope everyone gets the chance to get out and vote. GO OBAMA AND BIDEN!!!

Ryan's New Harley

Ryan finally got his Harley. I know, we didn't need another dog but she was sooo cute. We named her Harley. Harley is 11 weeks old and is a Chocolate Lab.

Party Like a Rock Star

The girls having fun in there ROCK STAR outfits before the party

The girls went to a birthday party for there cousin Alexis. This was the party event of the year. It was a ROCK STAR party and you had to dress in your best rock star attire. When we arrived there was a VIP entrance with the red carpet. The girls had soooo much fun. Thank You Janet for the invite and wonderful time!!!

Halloween

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Halloween Party (night before Halloween)

I love Halloween. Its so much fun to dress up and take the kids Trick or Treating. Well this year was a weird one. Kennedy wanted to be a pirate, Reagan wanted to be a cave girl so I decided to do "Pebbles Flintstone", and Ryan decided to have Jackson be a race car driver. Wednesday night Reagan decided she didn't want to be a cave girl because she didn't want a bone in her hair. She said she wanted to be a pirate like Kennedy. That was ok because we already had 2 pirate costumes. Then on Halloween morning she decided to be Super Girl. We got her all ready in that. and then she changed her mind again and wanted to be a pirate. If you know Reagan this is totally her personality. Then on Halloween night Kennedy decided she wanted to be "Super Bobby Jack" (the monkey). I think she was sick of wearing her pirate costume from all the Halloween parties she went to. I also volunteered for both Reagan's and Kennedy's school parties. But who cares about all of this we had a Wonderful Halloween!!

Shots, Shots and more Shots

WOW!!! Today we took Jackson to get his 1 year old shots. While we were there we decided to get Reagan's kindergarten shots over and done with. Then we also decided to get them flu shots. So that was a total of 6 shots each. Reagan went 1st. She was trying so hard to keep the tears away but finally after shot #4 she let them go. Jackson was next. Right after she stuck the 1st shot in he started screaming. It's really hard for me to see my kids upset and hurting, so I decided to go today while Ryan had the day off and he could help me. After we left the Dr. office Reagan said "that didn't even hurt". Afterwards we took them to get breakfast and ice cream for being so good and strong. They both look silly with all there band-aids. Reagan has three on each arm and Jackson has one on each arm and leg.

Reagan Field Trip - Wheeler Farm

Wednesday was Reagan's first field trip for school. It was so much fun. We went to Wheeler Farm. Reagan was so excited because she got to ride the Big Yellow School Bus. I wasn't able to ride the bus because I took Jackson, so I followed them there. Reagan and Brooklyn (my niece) loved seeing all the animals and feeding the Ducks and Geese. It was so funny becasue Reagan was hungry and wanted to eat her bread, but the Geese kept trying to get it from her. When we were leaving I asked Reagan if she wanted to ride home with me and so fast she answered "NO I'm riding the bus". I love being able to stay home with my kids and to go and do these fun things with them.

Jackson's 1st Birthday

I can't believe my baby is 1. Seems like we just had him. How fast this year has went by. It has been different having a little boy but it is so wonderful. Jackson's birthday was actually on September 19th, but we had to wait to have his party because Kennedy had her tonsils out that day. We had him such a cute birthday party. It was done in "Curious George". We had all our family over for brunch. Instead of cake we had Banana Cream pies. It turned out great. Jackson did have his very own cake. I let the girls pick it out and they wanted chocolate. When we first gave it to him it just looked at it, so I helped him put one hand in and after that he took over from there. When we finally took it from him he cried.

Jackson brings so much joy to our family and we love him so much. HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY JACKSON!!!

Bye Bye Tonsils

Waiting for the nurse to come get me

Ryan had to get one last picture of her tonsils

Kennedy getting her ride to the surgical room

Shhhhhh - She's sleeping

Finally she woke up!! We got a little smile

On Friday September 19th Kennedy was able to get rid of her tonsils. This is going to be a wonderful thing for her. You would not believe the snoring that comes out of this beautiful little girl. It is soooo loud. She also has sleep apnea and stops breathing while she sleeps. Hopefully taking her tonsils out will get rid out all of this. She was so brave when we had to say goodbye and they took her to the surgical room. We had it done at Primary Children's Hospital. They were wonderful and they sure know what they're doing when it comes to children. Kennedy was able to ride in a wagon to the surgical room. After the surgery she was so great in the recovery room. All the nurses kept coming over and saying how cute she was and what beautiful hair she has. She has to miss all week of school, so she'll be home with me this week and we'll be doing home school. She keeps asking if she can go play outside or at her friend Jimena's, but she can't get to rough or it can start to bleed and she'll have to have surgery again.

WELL Friday was also another BIG day. Jackson turned 1 years old. We have been so busy we haven't been able to have his party yet. But this Sunday will be his BIG celebration. HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY JACKSON!!!

Reagan - Preschool

Well today was finally Reagan's BIG day. She started her second year of pre-school. Kennedy started school 2 weeks ago and Reagan would keep asking "Mom when do I get to go to school". Her cousin Brooklyn will be going to school with her this year so she is really excited. Reagan has the same teachers as last year so she was excited to see them again. I was able to volunteer today so I could see how her first day went. The school she attends really likes for parents to volunteer so they give a discount if you do. I like to volunteer so I can have more one on one time with Reagan and she loves it when I come. Reagan is such a happy kid and fun to be around. She is turning into such a young lady (or boy). If you know Reagan you know what I mean. We love her sooo much. Good Luck In Pre-School.

WOW - We had so much fun today. We went to Lagoon with my family. We went on Rattle Snake Rapids and got SOAKED!!! Me and my sister-in-law Lisa got the worst of it. We also went on WICKED. The name really fits this ride. It was a great ride. The kids sure had a great time, but was really really tired at the end of the day. We have season passes so we'll be going again next Sunday.
