Family Pictures

Wow Finally got it done. My brother is a professional photographer and a great one I might add. And as long as I can remember he has been taking mine and my family pics. When Devin and I first started dating he hated getting pics taken, but after the last 13 years, he is accepted the fact that my family is picture freaks.

We usually get new family pics every 6 months but since we had been living in Florence we haven't had any taken. Makes me so sad, Poor Daxton was neglected. We don't have hardly any of him as a baby.

Then picking out the outfits to match. That is really hard for all five kids and then for the parents to match. I guess I am just not very good at that part. I figured out we would do red shirts and black board shorts. Do like a summer theme. But couldn't find anything red for Aeden. Went to too many different stores just gave up and he has red shorts but sad part is they are hidden so he is the odd ball. Oh well he is still adorable. exceptionally with his hair hock, that is one hundred percent natural. CUTE CUTE.

Scary Day

Well, let me just tell you today was one of those days when I really wish Devin had called in sick for work. As many of you probably don't know I am a panickier, if that is even a word. I don't think when there is a scary situation I just panic. Well today was one of those days, The kids were playing games inside all day and then we had to leave to go get Abbi, Taylor's friend. And all of the sudden, Taylor said she felt like she was gonna throw up, so in a rushed mood I said hurry up and get too the bathroom. When I was all done loading the kids up in the car I went too check on her. She looked really pail, but had not thrown up. So told her too get a bowl (thinking that she was faking it, bad mom) and go get in the car. We went to get in and all of the sudden I looked at her and she fainted. I caught her. And just screamed. Thank goodness my neighbor had just pulled up and I yelled at her to call 911. She ran into her house and did, thank goodness. It was a nice way to meet my neighbors. A friendly hey I need help already. HHAHAHA. She then woke up and was coherent, and then proceeded to throw up. Thank goodness for the bowl.

Well she is OK the paramedics came and checked her out and said that they thought she was just dehydrated. So we have been keeping her inside and drinking lots of fluids. I told her to never do that again. Exceptionally when dad isn't home. The joys of being parents. We are given trials for a reason but let me tell you. They just keep getting harder and harder as we get older. But we learn from them. Hopefully???????????

Reunion

Family Reunion

Well had another camping trip, This time it was really nice during the day and we froze our BUTTS off at night. Aeden didn't sleep at all the first night. And I had the worst headache because I was so cold. But then I got a nice nap and then the second night was better. Taylor slept with her cousins in their trailer, so we used her sleeping bag on top of us and it was much warmer and so we slept like a good baby, hahahaha.



We went up by strawberry, next too a nice big open field so the kids could play pretty much anything. My family gets together once a year and usually camps. Lets just say the adults are way over powered by kids. But its nice because there are more older kids to keep the younger ones happy. We always have the usual dirty face and someone always leaves with a bruise. Well this time as usual Daxton always had the dirty face and this time Aeden had the bruise. He is getting active since he started crawling and he crawled right off the front seat of the car and right past his dads arms. Dad felt horrible. But won't be the last time he gets a bruise if he is anything like his brothers and don't forget big tomboy sister. hahahaha. Was fun but next time we will not go that far up the mountain this early in the summer.

Rock Band

Rock Band

Well for Devin's 31st b-day we got him ROCK BAND, The whole family loves it. I have been having a hard time finding it for the ex box 360. So when the kids were gone in Taylor, AZ. I had free time on my hands so we found it at Kmart. So he got his present early. But that's ok I got mine early too. And mine was much better hahahahha.

If you haven't had the chance to play the game you must it is hilarious to sing and watch people get frustrated with the drums or guitars and well just a fun game to laugh at people hahahaha. Here are some pics

Settled in

Wow, I remember now how much I hate moving. We probably have one more car load left at our old place. Been really hard leaving behind our first home. But hopefully the road ahead will get better for us.

Well, We had a real bad scare yesterday. We hadn't transferred our home security system over too our new home. And Monday morning we got a call from our security system letting us know that our sensor for the front door was going off. Needless to say we didn't live there and the door was dead bolted on Saturday when we left. So the cops were called out and didn't get there for an hour. Thank goodness everything is OK. And not much too take except the quads, but I grabbed the kids and ran out there. Then Devin met me out there with a trailer and we grabbed everything that we could and prayed that the house will still be there in one piece next time we come back. There has been three or four other break ins just on that one street in the past two weeks. My friend had her home completely vandalized. So sad they weren't living there but in the middle of a contract to sell it. Prayers are with you guys.

Anyways, good luck for the Magic Ranch area, HAHAHA what happened to this world, why can't people just leave everyone else's stuff alone. That would be really nice.

Memorial Weekend

Wow, Can't believe it is finally over. I want to first tell my in laws THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the four kids for five days too Taylor, AZ. That was a much needed break. Plus with all the stress of moving it was very nice too only have the one kid crying. Actually he did pretty good. Next I want too tell Kevin, THANK YOU SO MUCH, for helping Devin with all the heavy lifting. Man I wouldn't have been able to move the fridge and freezer and couch. I pretty much had to lift everything else. I am so grateful too my dad for letting us stay in his place for the next year. But, I am really sad to let our house go, We are trying to short sell it, HINT HINT!!!!!!!! If anyone is interested, $85,000. Devin has recently put alot of work into it over the last year and sad too leave it all behind but we know it will better our kids future too start our own business and start fresh in Mesa. But will still be doing Girl Scouts with Troop 1085 and will be back twice a month for meetings. So will still be making that nice trek out there.

Happy Birthday Taylor

WOW 11 years old. I can't believe it. She is my baby girl. Well not so much anymore. It makes me so sad that she isn't so little anymore. But I was told that she wouldn't want too be around me much at this age, and proud too say she isn't embarrassed yet of me and dad, thank goodness.
Well she had three minni parties. Her birthday was on Thursday the 15th of May, so since it was a school day she got too take cupcakes too school for her class to sing with her and have fun there. Then that night we took her out too our family pizza joint in Mesa, L.J.'s Pizza. Both Grandpa's and Grandma's were able to come with us.


Then Yesterday for Family home evening we took her too Peter Piper Pizza, for an extended family party. Our kids get parties with friends on the even years. She had a blast. Running around feeling like the center of attention. She had her little glow about her. She was on top of the world. She got her Heely's that she requested and really cute outfit from her Aunt Kasandra, and money from Grandpa and Grandma Dee, and a night out with Grandpa and Grandma Harris. She is already planning next years party, HAHAHAHA. Better start saving our pennies.

Hope she had a wonderful day. We love you Taylor,

Happy 11th Taylor

Pet Snake

Well I compromised and got a corn snake for the family pet. I don't mind the thing but everyone knows mom doesn't touch or have anything to do with "HOBBES". Kids try and get me to touch it and that is a no way. Devin just quit asking after the first two years. Anyways each kid loves to touch it and play with him. Well now that Aeden is older and sitting up up enjoys the way it feels. So Devin put it on him and he thought it was funny.

Family Home Evening

Family Home Evening

Well for Family Home evening we try to do something for Calvin's Scout book. So This past Monday we went out in front of our home and played softball. Let me tell you it was interesting. One we didn't have enough players for two full teams. But we made it work. Then we had Tayton not wanting to play outfield and Daxton running the bases the whole time. He was awesome. Mom was the substitute for everything. Devin was making fun of me because it wasn't able to hit the ball but when it was his turn he couldn't either. We had the kids bats so they were tiny looks easier than it really is. But all in all we played for about 45 minutes and had a good family home evening.

Happy 30th Birthday Kevin

Well, I am going to be putting a few different thing on here today. My computer is finally home and working, Thank you Ryan.

Well, our best fiend Kevin turned the big 30 on May 6Th and well we went jet skiing to celebrate it with him. It was a blast. Wish we could sell the quads and get two of them think the kids would love them, know I would. Went to Lake Pleasant and it was a beautiful day, not too hot but warm enough too keep us from from freezing our butts off.
