Jaces Class Party

After washing Jaces hair the night before 5 times to get the black out...we decided no more black hair paint..

Jace is so lucky to have his cousin Davis in his class...We love having Aunt Alyssa so close. Their have been a few moments of one of us running late and having to pick up the other persons kid

My Yummy donation to this party was chocolate Ghosts, complete with frosting eyes..they were so freakin cute...I am amazing

Not Really Sure whats happening here???

Jace is a social little kid...so unlike his mother. His teacher actually told me he is quite the ladies man...

You will be seeing this hat alot over the next few posts..I ran like crazzzy leaving little time to pretty myself up..Thank goodness Hats made a comeback

Cutest Shoes Ever...had to post a pic of them

Making Crafts, I did most of Jaces because he told me he was opting out in hopes of playing at the park

So here is my craft...I still suck at paper and glue projects everyone thought Jace did it..Sad

TRUNK OR TREAT

Me and my BFF Lorrelle, we get really dressed up..haha. I loved the pink and wished I had seen it first.

Peyton decided to be Harry Potter this year and was so cute, Jace was a vampire, but hated the makeup and Baby was Robin from Batman....Kevin on the other hand was a bad ASS incase you were curious..lol

Sydney is a close friend of the family and for some reason loves Jace..That Cupcake in his hand is the only food that he ate that night...candy was the other food group.

Kevin and I being festive..Trunk or treat in our ward is a fairly big deal...carnival games, dinner, and of course decorating trunks to hand out treats..we won best trunk this year..unfortunately no pic to prove it...you'll have to take my word...This was the 2nd of seven parties to come

About 7 weeks ago we got Peyton involved in a golfing class at his school...I was curious about his progress as he told us that he was ready to take on a grown up course...I was skeptical so I thought I would check it out myself.
Much to my amazement he is pretty good. He even won longest drive, and another game where they tried to chip the ball into a circle. I think we need to work on his form
ie:keeping his head down and feet planted, but other than that he is doing well. It is so fun to find your childs knack for a sport or activity...luckily this is one sport he maybe able to take care of me one day with..hehe

Jace Turns 4...and some other Jace stuff

Hotel Swimming at its Best

We were lucky enough to have an evening of swimming at the hotel that my parents and Gary and Marci stayed at...It was still a 100 degrees outside so it was a nice break. Jax especially loved splashing with Aunt Marci. So cute.

Peytons Baptism

Peyton was Baptised on September 26th 2009...and I could not be more proud. His dad did the Baptism and Kevin Comfirmed him. Thank you so much to everyone who came from near and far to support us...especially me. It was a very stressful time for me and I am grateful for everyones patience and understanding. Luckily we were able to have a very yummy dinner at Meatballz to bring the event to a close.Peytons was so cute and I think overwhelmed by the experience..he is so excited to be 8.

Cub Scouts...holy crap

So I guess it begins...Scouting that is. I guess in the back of my mind I was subconsciously aware of the fact that 3 boys would at some point become 3 scouts..little did I know literally about the actual process. It goes something like this your son is now 8, welcome to cub scouts, he starts out as a wolf I guess, but needs to become a bobcat before being a wolf is even a thought. So we go to a "training" of sorts where I am totally out of my league with mothers who already have trained their young ones with the oath and badge names...I sit with a pen and paper just trying to figure out what the hell a belt loop is and where do I go to buy arm badges and neckerchiefs. Oh and did I fail to mention my son who is so excited about this process that he is already reading his book cover to cover and asking when I can help him pass off his archery badge, or belt loop I don't know..so I look at Kevin for answers he shrugs and mumbles something about not remembering all of this. Then they hand me his faith in god requirements which I am assured will go hand in hand with the scouting requirements.
Regardless of my groans and moans I am now on this new path and I guess by the time I get to Jax I will be an old pro, like the mom next to me already repeating the oath. Well we did get his bobcat which was a big deal, and my whold family was here to witness the ceremony...I do have to admit that they are pretty cute in their uniforms...sigh HERE WE GO..

Jax Gets his first haircut..

When jax was born he has less hair than Jace who we referred to as a chiwawa he was so bald...so needless to say Jax was bald,then out of nowhere comes this blonde head of hair. It is so cute and has little strawberry blonde highlights Love it, but it got a little to long so time for a cut. My Stylist Lj was so cute with him and took a little off making him so handsome..

California Part 2

California part 1..sorry if it's long

Newport Beach part 1

Kevin and I after a long summer decided we wanted to get away and have some quality family bonding time so kind've last minute we decided to take the kids to California for some fun in the sun!! As we started planning this family filled Vaca I looked into some hotels near the beach which were running $200 plus a night I had heard about Priceline but was so afraid of that kind of commitment I never thought I would actually do it....so Iturned to my friends to see if they had used priceline and the ones that had loved it and swear by it. I am happy to say that me deciding to try it out was a success and we found out we would be at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach. I also decided with two weeks until the actual trip to invite my cousin Breck and her fam to join us and found out it would work out. I was so excited, but we decided not to tell the kids anything until right before we left..So on the first day of school we went swimming at a friends house and afterward the kids came home to find a whole beach setting in our house...then they got to play 20 ?'s to figure out where we were going...they were thrilled

First Day Of School

After School we went swimming at Leilanis for back to school swim party...yay





I love the first day of school...Peyton was off to 3rd grade..holy crap, and Jace was off to preschool. I think it is so funny because I still remember my first day if third grade. Burton Elementary Mrs.Hamblin. I had a total crush on Trav Bowen, my friends were Christy Cox, Christy Shepherd, and we would walk home for lunch some days...awww
