Christmas Present!!! Oh wait...

So the kids and I are trying to convince Derek that we should get a little dog. But he is totally against it. Then we got this picture from an email sent to us today and I think I have changed my mind.

Finished a Project-Yeah!

So I finished a project today and I am so happy with how it turned out. Here is a picture of my master peice. Now I just need to get some pictures in them:)

Baseball!

Carter started Baseball and is loving it.

It is so fun to see him get so into the game.

Derek coaching Carter on how to be a catcher.

Favorite time -Snack time.

Disneyland!

For October break my Mom, my Sister and I took my my kids to Disneyland. We had so much fun. Sorry about the pictures being sideways I am not very computer savvy.

Here is Addisyn sitting on the curb while we are waiting in line for Peter Pan.

Carter and Camden loved the Carousel

Addisyn not so much:(

Cabin Fun!!!

Last weekend we went up north to help my grandparents move in to their new cabin. My kids absolutely love it up there. There are enough places to explore within the fenced in area so it is perfect for them. We plan on visiting there often! Yeah!

Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!

Camden and Addisyn love making cookies. So last week we made cookies for some of our friends and of course we could not resist eating some too.

Shadow-A-Student Day!

Today I had the chance to go to school with Carter and see what he does for his normal routine at school. It was so much fun. Carter kept saying "I am so excited that you are here today." Which melts my heart. He was so excited to show me his number jobs, which he talks about daily. It seems like he has a race with another little boy that sits close to him to see who can get the most jobs done. It was really neat to see him so enthusiastic about school work. Here are some fun pictures of the day! Some are blurry I guess I don't know how to work the camera:(

Absolulety Fasinating!

I recieved this email the other day and it just amazes me! I love how divinely our bodies and our world was created.
-A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye...and YES science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
-A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.
- Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
- A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
- Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
- Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. Thesefoods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
- Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? ... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
- Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs male sterility.
- Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
- Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
- Grapefruits, oranges, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
- Onions look like body cells. Today's research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

Our 7th Wedding Anniversary

We celebrated 7 of the most wonderful years this weekend. We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It was so nice and so yummy. The kids had a sleepover and my mom and dads, they love it there. Carter always tells me that I need to sleep over so I can have the big breakfast in the morning, and Camden always talks about the bacon that he wants to eat at Papa's house.

Summer went by so FAST!

School is here. Carter started Kindergarten! When he got home he sayed, "The bus was really fun, there were NO seatbelts!"

Here are some pictures that my sister-in-law took of our family when we were in California.

Happy Birthday Addisyn!

We had so much fun on Addisyns birthday. She loved the cake and the presents.

Summer is HERE!!!

Here is Carter on Graduation night with his teacher Miss Andrea. I can't believe he is going to be a big Kindergartner.

I finished the Triathlon. That is all I could ask for at this point. It was the first time both Brittney and I so we really didn't know what to expect but at least we had fun.

Addisyn's First Step

Look I am going to walk!!!

Ta da! Addisyn took her first step yesterday. We were so happy.

5k Walk

The Kids and I went on a 5k walk on saturday at Kawanis Park. Carter was able to walk most of it. Afterwards we had cotton candy and popcorn so it made it all worth it for the kids. We had fun with Aunt Heidi and Aunt Brittney.

Riding the Rhino

Carter and Camden love riding the rhino.

Swimming Lessons

Camden Swimming...

Then Camden Floating!!!

Addisyn is so tried after all her hard work Floating

Camden and Addisyn are in swim lessons right now and they are doing awesome. Addisyn is practicing her float and Camden is practicing his swim/float. I am so proud of them.

A Big Change!!!

On monday Heidi came over and gave me a haircut. She cut off 8 inches!!! I was really nervous about it at first but then I realized that I could donate it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, they make wigs for women suffering hair loss from cancer. Heidi did a great job. I can even get it into a very short pony tail, but it is still a ponytail! She enter Carter and I into a hair contest that she had won 2nd place in last year so we will see how she does this year. Good Luck Heidi!
