Sweet Girls!

These two have been so different since Ashley and Bryce went back to school. They are playing more with each other and getting along. I took these pictures of them the first day Ashley and Bryce went back to school. I just haven't had time to blog.

Ally comes out saying something about Aubrey in her bed.
I didn't understand much of it, then she says "come on mama!"
I went in the room to see what she was talking about.
She got in the bed and asked me to cover them up.
Then they both started saying "Ni-Night" over and over.
I had to run for my camera quick
before they didn't think it was fun anymore.

Then it was time so sing to me.

I love them so much and days like this.
It makes their bad days a little easier.

Happy Tuesday☺

It's that time of year again...

Back to School!
Today is the first day of school.
Ashley is starting 5th grade and Bryce 3rd.

This means the house will be a little quieter
during the day but the evenings will be filled with
Math, Reading,

Practice Spelling Test,

Dance Classes and so on.

I guess "Summer Vacation" is over
for Mom and Dad too!

Happy Monday☺

Money, Money, Money!

So Ashley and Bryce both want a laptop.
We keep telling them NO! that
they can use the computer we have.
Well now Bryce has it in his head
that he will save his money and buy one.
We told him OK but they aren't cheap.
This is how we found him Saturday afternoon.

I think he was counting his money and fell asleep.
He was looking at the sale ads Sunday morning
and saw that Target has one for $300.
Now he wants us to buy the laptop and
he will pay us back as he gets money.
We had to tell him that wasn't going to
happen either.I'll let you know if he ever
gets close to saving enough money or if
he decides he would rather have more Legos.

Happy Tuesday☺

Our 4th of July

We had family over for swimming and a Bar-B.Q.
My mom, step-dad and sister came down
from Las Vegas and stayed for a few days.
It was nice to visit with them for longer than a day and a half.
Here are a few pictures from our 4th....

All 4 together which was almost impossible to get.

We took pictures of each one in front of the tree
and used a towel as a backdrop.
But as you can tell two looked better by the tree
and two looked better with the towel.

This is how she was acting the whole time.
No big surprise, she's a 2 year old.

Then it was time for the pool...
I took all of these before everyone got here for the party.
I didn't get any during the party there was to much going on.

Heather & Ashley

Bryce going after Ashley.

Ally singing to us. I think she will be the next "American Idol"

Aubrey standing on the first step by herself.
My favorite picture of the whole day.

She is getting better about getting in the pool,
but she still doesn't like it that much.
Maybe by the end of the summer she will like it more.

After the party we went to my Grandparents
house in Apache Junction to watch fireworks.
They live on the south side of the US60 and
Apache Junction High School is on the north side.
They set the fireworks off at the high school, so
we get our chairs and sit in the street and watch the show.
We have done this for 3 years now.
It's great we don't have to wait in the heat all day to watch fireworks.

Happy Tuesday ☺

No Time To Blog

I really haven't had time to blog. Having all four kiddos home all day makes it hard to get things done, so blogging has been at the bottom of my "To Do List".
Aubrey has been sick for a few days now. She was running a fever for a couple of days, and then she wouldn't eat or drink anything. I took her into the doctor on Friday. He said her throat was really red. He did a Strep test and that came back negative. I was happy about that but now she has a rash from head to toe almost. I took her back to the doctor this morning and he said it was viral and from running a fever. That's what I thought he would say {by the fourth one you almost know what they are going to tell you} but I wanted to make sure. So I've been busy taking care of her and trying to keep the other three from fighting with each other all day. At the end of the night I'm wiped and I just want to relax on the couch and watch some TV. I hope to be able to blog more in the coming weeks until then....

Happy Monday Night☺

Oh, The Joys of A Two Year Old!

Ally keeps me on my toes.
This is what she did and it was only 7:30 a.m.

She didn't do that bad of a job for a two year old.
I'm just happy she didn't get it all over the bathroom.
Then I had a talk with the older sister {Ashley} that left
the polish down where the little sister {Ally} could get it.
So I hope it won't happen again but, it probably will!

Happy Wednesday☺

Getting So Big!

We took Aubrey to Target for her 1 year pictures.

We didn't get the girl that usually does our pictures but,
I think the girl we had did a good job since she was a trainee.

She is walking almost all the time now,
which means she is getting into more stuff.
She thinks she is as big as the other kids.

Happy Tuesday☺

Happy Father's Day!

Dance Recital

I know it's been a while since I blogged,

but we have been busy.

With school out, getting everything

ready for Ashley's dance recital

I really haven't had much time to blog.

We had a little break from dance after

the recital, but classes started again Monday.

When I dropped Ashley off they had her pictures.

This year she was asked to perform in the

Opening Number. She was so excited they asked her.

Hip-Hop

Clogging

Tap

Hip-Hop Company

Opening Number

They had two recitals one at 2:30 pm and one a 6:00 pm.
At 2:30 she had Opening Number, Hip-Hop Company, and Tap.
At the 6:00 she had all five dances.
It was a long day for her (and me) but she did a great job.
We could really see how much she has grown
as a dancer from last year.
We are so proud of her.

Happy Wednesday☺
