Birthday, Concert, Recital

My big boy turned 6, first of all I can't believe it has flown by so fast. He is pictured with some of his friends (Riley Perry) had to leave after the Bounz House. He got to invite a few of his friends to a bounce house and then home for cupcakes and presents. I love this little guy. He has such a sweet spirit and is becoming a good young boy. Happy Birthday William.
My little Annie does what she likes, her ballet concert was really funny.

I really enjoyed watching her twirl and dance. My Annie is strong headed and if she wants to do something different from the bunch she does. But oh how I love this little girl. I was so proud of her.
Annie before her ballet recital, she is so pretty and did such a wonderful job.

William had a Christmas Concert and did really well. He likes to sing and once he found his family in the crowd he turned on the sparkle. Mimi, Boompa, Uncle Freddy and Annie were amazed.

I am so blessed to have both William and Annie in my life. They are my prized possesions. They bring me joy along with many other emotions. My life is so full to have all my family.

October Break

We took a couple days off and went to San Diego for Fall Break. The kids were thrilled and we got a smoking deal and flew. The kids were so funny when we took off. Since it was their first time they giggled and screamed and laughed. We went to Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. We also went to Ocean Beach for a day. We had such a good time and the kids were really well behaved since the trip their and back on the airplane was only a little over an hour compared to 6-8hr.

My greatest joy is seeing them happy. It was a wonderful family trip and I can't wait to go again.

My Babies 1st Day's

Yesterday and Today have been our first's (preschool, Kindergarten)

Annie began at her preschool with a lady in our ward, she is so thrilled to be going to school and learning and I am hoping that this will help with her attention and attitude. Mornings with Annie are rough she is a night owl and loves to sleep in. Preschool I hope is going to get her on a better morning schedule. I look forward to watching her grow. She is also starting Ballet and Soccer soon so we are keeping her busy

William's first day really isn't his first day of Kindergarten. William went to Kindergarten last year at the district school near our home. This year I signed him up at the Charter school (Ben Franklin) and I am so excited with their curriculum and teaching. He goes with one of his best friends and I am so excited for him. William will start up with his Karate class and playing soccer again soon, so I am keeping him active.

Happy Birthday Annie

Today my little giant is 3. We love our Annie, even though everyday is an adventure. She loves to be the Boss Lady and does a fantastic job. I love this girl so much, she makes me laugh everyday and somedays I want to pull my hair out!

Pearl Harbor Tour-Oahu

We along with Steve's Mom,Dad, Sister Janice and daughter Devan went to Hawaii for our 11th anniversary. Steve's Parents were celebrating their 50th. We wouldn't have been able to go without Janice. I don't know that it was what I would have imagined but I did have a good time, the last part of our vacation. I had a lot of mixed feelings leaving my children for a week. I struggled with this, they are my life! So here are a few pictures from our vacation.

We spent 3 days in Oahu and 4 days in Kawai. We snorkeled and took some wonderful tours in both places. It was a good time. I don't know if we will ever make it back but it was fun. We got to experience the sirens for a Tsunami warning and spent the night in our vehicle which wasn't so fun but we made it back safe and sound.

Happy 11th anniversary Steve, my love.

We spent 3 days in Ohau, we went to the Pearl Harbo

Football

Pictures of my little lady, Soon she will be three, who can say no to this?

We signed our William up for Football with a subdivision down the road. He was so excited to play. They only had 5 games but he really enjoyed it. I think it's going to take him some time to catch on but it was really funny to watch the little boys run around with the ball. My cousin Scott Gandy's little boy was also on the team with William so it was nice to catch up with him and his family.

Happy New Year

Arizona has now legalized some fireworks, that's all my husband had to hear. A family in our ward set up a Black Cat Tent and Steve was there!. The kids had a great time New Year's Eve setting off the fireworks and loved to hold the sparklers. I am sure the New Year holds lots in store for me and my family and I am so excited to see what 2011 brings.
