SNOW SNOW SNOW

AJ loves the snow and has been waiting all season for it. He thinks you can't have christmas without it, will see what he thinks when were in Cal. for christmas. He was so excited this morning to see SNOW! (at least someone was) So I got him and Anson bunddled up and sent them outside. A little while later a neighbor came over to play. Their still outside playing and when thier done I'll give them some hot chocolate(my favorite thing about snow). Now will spend the day indoors its too cold to go anywhere.

OUR FUN SHIP CRUISE

We just returned from our cruise to Mexico! We went on Carnival our "fun ship" as they called it, and oh what fun we had. With all kind of activities on board from sunbathing to ping pong, karaoke nights and more food than anyone knows what to do with, we enjoyed our time. Our first stop was Cabo, we took a small boat 45mins south to Santa Maria and went snorkeling, we saw so many fish and returned with a few jelly fish stings. On the way down we also got to go whale watching and saw 2 whales with fins in the air, what a cool sight. They even served lunch on the way back to port. Our 2nd stop was Ensenada, we took a taxi to the blowhole which was fun and a beautiful sight. Than shopping which we bought lots of fun unnecessary items. And last we went horse back riding on the beach. Our 2 friends Mike and Malissa joined us and made our "fun ship" even more fun with all of us joining in activities, Malissa and I joined in on a dance contest, Malissa, Grayson and I played "family feud" with a friend we watched gamble for 2 hours and Mike sang "Sinatra" for the finale carnival show. Our nightly fav was to see what towel creation was placed on the bed. Than after all that fun we had to leave:( But with one day before we had to catch flights back to the real world we spent the day at the San Diego Zoo. It was nice and cool so the animals were very active, it was exciting. So thank you Grayson for planning a wonderful vacation and Mom and Genessa for watching 2 very active boys. A few pic of our FUN.

Welcome Tooth Fairy

The tooth fairy was welcomed into our house last night, for AJ lost his first tooth!! His tooth had been lose for a while and the other one was growing behind. I thought I was going to have to take him to a denist to get it pulled. But yesterday for some reason Anson thought he should pull it out(watch out uncle Brent he might take over). He did a pretty good job, I just had to give it a small tug, while AJ was crying the whole time! AJ was excited to put it under his pillow and see this morning, money under his pillow! So for the next year he will be looking forward to The tooth fairy.

Anson Had a Birthday

Anson had his second birthday Nov. 7th 2008. He is finally two and into his terrible twos. He is growing like a weed and making good progress with his speach and sometimes his behavior. Good things will happen this year they grow so fast. For His party I tried to keep it simple. We went to chuck e cheese, the kids played and so did Grayson. Than we went back to my moms for birthday cake and presents. Anson had a blast with his gifts.

Happy Halloween

We started Halloween thurday night by carving pumpkins. They turned out great, if if AJ didn't like cleaning out his pumpkin. AJ helped carve the bat, mine was the ghost, and Grayson did his freehand and did the scary face. Anson didn't want to help but he didn't feel well(see next post). we all enjoyed Halloween!!!

Each of us in our costumes ready for trick or treating!

Pay Back

No this is NOT halloween makeup. For all who has incountered Ansons' rath he has got his payback. While volunteering Anson was climbing on a slide and a kid decided to push him, he fell and ended up having to get his eye glued together, instead of stiches. It also turned into a black eye. So hopefully he has learned that you can hurt others.

pumpkin patch

I love fall its the best time of the year. I love the colors changing, I love love the clothes, layers and jackets. Both kids birthdays, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Plus lots of Activities, but this year has seemed extremely busy so we decided to go to a small pumpkin patch which turned out great!

Anson is obsessed with pumpkins this year. If he sees a pumpkin he yells out "punkin". He was so excited to go, he tried to pick up everyone he saw, and he had to pull the wagon. AJ also loved this. The rule was the one you picked you had to be able to carry.

AJ's 6th Birthday

AJ turned 6 this week. I can't believe how big he is getting. he was so so excited for this.
He had a dinosaur themed birthday party. I took AJ, a few friends from school, plus Ashton and Adrienne to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. With the help from my mom and kyla they had a wonderful time. The museum was dead so the kids had the run of the place. When we were finnished we headed home for some food and fun. AJ recived so many great gifts, that I haven't even seen him this week. Than we had dinosaur chicken nuggets, lava juice and dino bones(crakers). And of course the Cake, a big dinosaur.

I started blogging!!

So after thinking about this for awhile I decided to start blogging. I spend too much time looking at others blogs and ran across a saying "is it ok to look and not blog yourself?" so after that I thought I should start:) Hopefully I can keep this up to date, I'm horriable at things like this.
