Painting

The kids wanted to do some "arts and crafts" today so I got out some old stickers and some water paints. Usually I don't let Reagan join in but I guess I was a little crazy that day! It turned out to be a ton of fun for all three kids!!!

Tyler with his picture made of stickers - I learned that how ever many stickers you put out for kids they will use everyone of them!

Tyler acting silly!!

Emma working really hard on her painting.

Emma giving us a big smile!

Here is Reagan working hard!

here is when she painted her own face!

Look how messy all these paints are! But what a cute little hand making the mess!

Kids pictures!!!!!!

Well I finally got these pics. They messed up with my email address and then had a "technical Error" that they fixed for me. So I am excited to finally be able to post these pics of the kids.

TYLER



EMMA



REAGAN
(Above)This is what she looked like most of the time. We only got one good pic of her(below). I am actually holding her that is why she has her blanket in the picture too. Both Tyler and Emma were always easy to get pics done but Reagan,my most laid back child,is definitely the hardest one. she must not like strangers like the other two.

Sunday afternoon outing

For a primary activity a few weeks ago all the kids went to the visitors Center at the Mesa temple. Tyler loved it so much he begged me to take him back so he could show Dad and his little sisters. so On Sunday we took a trip to the temple and let Tyler be our guide!

Tyler and Emma

This was Tylers favorite he loved to be the first to find the lights.

Emma and Reagan - It looks so sweet because you can't see Reagan's face or hear her scream!

Art Class

On Fridays we go to the community center for a fun art class. The teacher reads a book and then the kids get to do 3 art projects based on the book. For the last few minutes they put out books and the parents get to read to their kids. Tyler and Emma LOVE it! These pics are from the 1st week!

Tyler never wants to pose for pics... Emma on the other hand LOVES to pose for every pic!

a wii bit of fun!

It is pretty funny watching the kids play the wii. Tyler is really good at boxing which he called Box foxing until Joe could take it no more and had to correct him 100 times before he finally said it right. Personally I liked it when he called it box foxing and I don't know why Joe can't let him say things wrong! Emma is really funny because she stops in the middle to talk or sometimes she punches in all weird directions.

monsoon 2008

This post is for you Amy Dee!!!! Monsoon 2008 here in Arizona hit hard not only did we have MANY LARGE puddles and no electricity for 2 hours, but the rain and wind broke a big branch off our tree. I am sad you were not here to experience the evening with us. We miss you AMY!

Big Birthday Day!

Well Joe surprised me with a whole day of fun for my birthday! He gave me my present a day early, and I got a wii!! It is so much fun to play with the kids so I will post some pics on a different post this one is just the fun we had on Saturday July 12th!

We started our morning at Krispy Kreme for a wonderful breakfast!

We then went to see Wall-E which was a great movie. Tyler and Emma really enjoyed it but Reagan didn't sit still for much of it.


We then went to Joe's Farm Grill for lunch, it was amazing. The food is great and it is a cute little place. We sat outside and the kids were able to play in the little field next to our table.





After Lunch Joe took the kids home for naps and quiet time and Kim and I went to get pedicures. It is always fun to have someone rub your feet and get to chat with a great friend. You just can't do much better than that.


For dinner we went with the Curry's to Pita Jungle! That is also another great place to eat. So it was a great birthday and I didn't have to go in my kitchen at home at all plus I got my nails done and got to play the wii and Guitar Hero III (which my wonderful mother in law got for me) with Joe's brother Kevin and his mom Leanna!!!!

So now I am relaxed and well fed for my last year in my 20's!
