Fun at the Park!

Okay so I am a little late this week in my blog posting.  But I am determined not to be a slacker.  So here is a fun day we had at the park.  We played basketball and I was so sore the next day..hahaha.  Shanlin had some friends and they all made birds nest.

Catch up!!!

Okay so one of my new years resolutions is to do better at writing in my Journal.  I used to do so well, but then of course we get busy and out of the habit.  So anyway we have as a family every sunday been writing in our Journals.  So I thought along with that I am going to try to blog once a week.  I'm not great at scrapbooking so I thought this is the next best thing.  So here we go.  

This week Shanlin had her first basketball game and did very well.  She is very aggressive and not shy of the ball at all.  She is still learning the game of course but that will like everything else take time.

All the kids love the ipod touch and fight about it all the time.  I think Taiven might have a little o.c.d.    Hopefully not to bad.

DOUGS 32!!! Happy Birthday to you.

We had a pizza party for Doug this year!  It is his favorite food.  We made homemade pizza and made a cake decorated like a pizza.  We had so much fun getting ready for this short lived party.  We teased Doug and told him this was his cake.  

Taiven ate so much Pizza it knocked him out....lol.  seriously don't know what he is doing but he laid like this for about 5 minutes.  Silly Boy.

Bunkers POND!!!

This wonderful little oasis in the desert is so much fun and just what the kids needed this hot summer day.  Lucky for us it wasn't to hot.  Taiven & Tessa both got in once and hated it.  Shanlin on the other hand had a blast.  We got together for my nephew Dee's birthday who turned 15!! Crazy how fast time flys.  It was a lot of fun hanging with the fam.  Two of my sisters Shay and Misti were there and there kids.  Tessa was torturing Kendyl with a hair brush, but all in all a great day.  Thanks Misti can't wait to do it again. 

School Wall

So what to do with that that wonderful stuff your kids bring home from school, hand made crafts and cut outs, special little drawings and wonderful work.  Well I had a thought that "stuff" should be displayed for all to see and the kids to feel so proud of there accomplishments.  So we started an art gallery in our
hallway each girl had a wall.  Here are some fun pics we took right before we took it down.

So I went to Girls Camp for 4 days and had so much fun!! While I was gone Doug took great care of the kids and they all had a blast.  Shanlin said "Dad, I didn't know you could be this much fun".  

When I returned home the house was spotless clean and all the kids were clean and they had made me a welcome home cake.  So sweet I love my family so much.  What a wonderful hubby I have. 

Dating!!! What?

Looking back thru old pictures reaffirms that Doug must really love me because I was not that cute....lol. 

 I'm sure I will look back to today and think the same thing but for now I am just happy he loves me!

Fort Time

We made a fort in the Living Room the other day and played sleepover.  It was a lot of fun except for the fact that Taiven kept tearing it down.lol oh well thats what I get for having a boy.

Silly Boy!!

Fun in the bath...I was having fun with my new lens.  It made for some crazy pics!  He is getting so big I can't believe he is already 18 months old.

Okay so my poor blog.  How neglected you have been.  I will try to do better!  Life has been busy wonderful crazy.  My photography has really taken off and what a blessing it has been.  I have loved every minute and can't wait to see what the new year brings.  My kids are all one year older with my oldest SHANLIN who just turned 6.  It really makes you realize how fast these first few years just fly by.  Oh how I love the fun things she does.  I think everyday I enjoy my kids a little more.  Anyway enough jabber, here are a few pics from the past few months to catch up.

Shanlin has grown from this

 to this.  When did that happen?

 Seriously, this is a very common position to see my Tessa in.   Who needs hands.

My little man! This was before his hair cut. He got called a girl far to much.

Very into signing time.

Signing I LOVE YOU!

First Day of School!!!!

I can't believe I have a Kindergartner. Shanlin has official entered into the world of peer pressure, cooties and homework. Now I have Shanlin gone for 2 1/2 hours and Tessa gone for 3 hours. I must admit I do miss the freedom of coming and going, but on the other hand I finally get a break yay! Okay so here are some fun moments of the first day, me in the long line of moms chasing behind there school go'ers. FUN TIMES.

Taiven playing peek a boo

Doug was doing this to Taiven the day before, then Taiven just started doing this.... so cute. They grow so fast.

Taiven Turns 1
