Daddy's Beanie

Cami has been begging for a knitting loom, so she can make hats, bags and scarfs. She has a group of friends at school that are all knitting, and they spend their free time together. I finally bought her one and boy is she knitting up a storm. Her first masterpiece is a beanie for Daddy. Now she wants all of the other accessories that you can buy. I love doing crafts with this little love. Her company is so genuine and loving. She is very creative and adventurous when it comes to making things she hasn't done before. I am so lucky to be blessed with my children. They are so different and it is so much fun to watch them grow.

Bobbi Turns 13 !!!

The 12th of November our Bobbi turned 13. I can't believe that I have been a parent that long. It seems like just yesterday she was 1 month old and Mike and I were holding her up above our heads and she puked all over both of us. She is the most amazing child. Every day she just floors me with the things she instinctively knows. We had a little family party. She had her 2nd favorite meal (Mexican lasagna, pumpkin pie and got her most wanted present a new phone. The EnV2 by Verizon. I tried to trick her by putting it in an empty Starbucks cup with the lid on it. I think I didn't hide my face well enough. She was very happy. Grandma sent her bronco colored M&M's with her name printed on them. She was pretty excited about that. She had a good day. She will be having lunch with Nana on Sunday and is looking forward to that.

Cami's Snow Day

I wanted to share this photo. "Poor Arizona girl". We watched the movie "Snow Day" last weekend and Cami got all dressed for the event, she even made homemade snowballs.

Joys of Waking Up

Bobbi's last Football Game 2008

Last night was the last flag football game of the year for Bobbi. I am sad, because I love going. She however, is glad it is over. She has softball next and is still deciding if she truly wants to play. She is such an amazing athlete I really hope she continues. I think I am living vicariously through her.

Ahhhhhh

Writing tonight from a place of Ahhhhh........Again, I am in a place of gratitude tonight. I had written yesterday that we ended up with a couple of extra kids on Halloween night. Well, yesterday evening all three kids ended up spending the night with someone else. Suddenly Mike and I found ourselves alone for the first time in.........I don't know how long. We watched some movies and spent a wonderful night and morning together, this really recharged my batteries. It is amazing what simple pleasures can do for a peaceful outlook on life. As the day went on I settled myself into the arms of my ruggedly handsome husband and this beautiful soft spot I call my home. T

Happy Halloween

So, here it is Halloween Night. I've looked forward to this night for a long time. Tonight I wasn't feeling ready after having a stomach bug for the last few days. Nonetheless, we put the little fireplace and lawn chairs on the driveway and waited for little ghouls to show up. The whole neighborhood started out at our house and I took pictures of everyone. Then off they went. For the first time Bobbi had a party to go to, (the times are a changing). My mom and our next door neighbors sat on the drive way and we watched the kids go wild. I laughed and laughed. Somehow at the end of the night we ended up with 3 extra kids, (parents wanted to go out). Mike donned the wolfman costume and proceeded to scare the bijeebies out of the kids, I got in it too, regrettably. All of the kids knew that it was Mike but still got caught up in the moment. Except Cami, she will need lots of apologizing today. They all dumped their candy on the middle of the living room floor and watched scarey movies until the sugar coma took over and they all drifted off to Neverland......... Holy Cow!!!
