Joey's B-Day

Joey's b-day was Sep. 11th. We had some friends over to celebrate. Joey chose to have italian roast with pesto risotto for his dinner. It was marvelous of coarse! Joey got a new shirt, a new book 'Jesus the Christ' and a survival knife.

Stuck in a Rut

So Joey had a pretty rough day on Monday. He had to take Emma to the doctor without me cause I was in close week. They were waiting in the waiting room for quite some time. Cayden was playing on the chairs and goofing off. Joey told Cayden to be ready to go back because the nurse would be coming to get them soon. He looked over at Cayden and his head was in the hole in the middle of the chair...sure enough it was stuck. He tried getting it out with no avail...and then or coarse, the nurse called their name. So Joey is trying frantically to get Cayden's head out and the nurse asks him if he will be much longer (where's some compassion). Joey ended up having to give up his turn with the doctor, got a screw driver from the office gals and proceeded to take the chair completely apart to get Cayden's head out. You gotta love that kid. And to make matters worse Joey ended up being late to pick Kylee up from school and Kylee ended up walking home and staying with a neighbor until Joey was done at the doctor's office.

All in all, sounds like an exciting day.

FALL is here....

It's been awhile since I posted and I know I have lots to update. Joey and Riley both had their birthday's in September. I will post a seperate entry for both this weekend with pictures. Riley's dad gave his permission for Riley to be baptized and we are planning on his baptism being Oct. 10th in Pocatello. I am very excited for him despite all the drama his father is creating over it. The weather has turned cold this week. We went from 85 degrees to 50 degrees in one week....bbbrrrrrr. I am so not ready for the cold weather yet. I do not want to wear a coat yet or give up my flip flops and sandals. I am planning on taking pictures of the kids this month and hope to have some good weather for it when Riley is here. I got the girls matching little dresses...they are pretty stinkin cute. I can't wait to see what they look like in them.

More to come....

Emma Scrapbook pages....

Here is a layout I did of Emma's three month pictures. It was my first CAF-E challenge that I did and posted in digitalscrapbookplace's gallery. I'm getting better, but still have so much to learn.




I just finished this layout....LOVE it. This is the first page that has been totally my own idea. All my other pages were inspired by other pages I had seen. I designed this one last night while I was trying to go to sleep. I am very happy with it. It helps that the subject is so adorable.

Memories

I took this picure Saturday morning of the boys and Emma. Of course Cayden isn't wearing any clothes. Not sure why I really buy him clothes, he won't wear them!! Hopefully someday he will realize that the girls will like him better with clothes on.

Riley is getting so big and grown up. I can not believe he is almost 9. I think he misses Emma the most when he is gone because he always wants to hold and feed her when he visits. He is a great helper and ever so sensitive.

Cayden's First Day of Preschool

Such a BIG kid. Cayden started preschool today. He was so excited to go and learn and play with the toys. He woke up at 3:30am this morning thinking it was time to go. Then he came into our room as I was getting up just bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to go. He had his lifesize ducky with him and bounces in and says me and ducky are ready to go to school. He was bouncing off the walls all morning. I went outside to take some pictures of him and just kept snapping them because he was being hilarious. I love the muscle man pictures.

Dinosaur Park

We took the kids to the Dinosaur park last Saturday for their end of summer activity. Joey kept scaring poor Cayden so he did not enjoy it all that much, especially the section that had a battle scene between a t-rex and brontasaurus with the sound effects coming out of speakers. Cayden kept looking into the bushes to see if something was going to run out and get him. I had snuck around to the side to get a picture of his face and as soon as I was getting ready to take the picture he seen me and started freaking out that I had left him...needless to say I did not get the picture. He did finally settle down and played on the playground a little.

Here is a slide show of all the silly pics.

Kylee's First Day of 1st Grade

Kylee started first grade this year. She was so excited to start school and to be a "BIG" girl that goes to school ALL day long. She loves school and we are very happy for that. AND she thinks it is cool to eat lunch at school - that won't last forever! Her teacher is Ms. Cline and seems to be a fun teacher. Kylee also helped me design a digital scrapbook page for her teacher's scrapbook. She picked out the pictures to use and put it together for her.

Kylee posing in style!

Emma is 3 Month's Old

Oh how time flies. Emma is growing up so quickly and I am afraid I am going to miss it all. We took some fun pics of her a few Saturday's ago. I have to say I am happy with them and think she is adorable. I tried to capture her cute little smile but she is a sly one. Everytime she smiles she hides her face. She is now laughing and talking to us. When she is awake she has us all fighting for her and when she is asleep well - Cayden still thinks it is playtime with her. He is always waking her up and getting in trouble with Dad. Joey has started locking the bedroom door when she is asleep so Cayden can not bother her.

What a cutie!


Here is a slide show of all my favorite photos we took.

After I got done taking Emma's pictures, Kylee and Cayden decided to be little photographers too. Kylee thought it would look better if they decorated the fur blanket with Emma's hair flowers.
