Birthdays

We also had a lot of birthdays. Tyler had his birthday on April 12th. He had a Mario Brothers theme. We played some really fun games and had cake. He loved all the toys and clothes. We had a blast.

Then Erin turned 8 on June 25th. She had a party in Carlsbad. She had a Lula theme. We had Lots of family, food, and fun. Thank you for all the wonderful gifts.

September was Haylee's birthday. She had a neon/music theme. She had her first sleepover party. She loved all her gifts from all you grandmas. I can't believe my baby is 10 already.

our summer

I don't really have an reason but it been forever. A lot has happened since March. I coached Tyler team in tee ball. I found out I like basketball better. Tyler like it though. Well he didn't like being in the outfield, but he can throw the ball 55 feet so that's were we put him. He did love make all the home runs.

Then June Kit donated his kidney to his brother Kyle. They both are doing a lot better. Kit still has some issues with energy. But that will just take some time.

August school started. Haylee started 4th, Erin started 3rd, and Tyler started 1st.

11 years of love

Well I know you guys usually see stuff about the kids but this one is about us. I am so excited that 15 years ago I meet Kit. We meet in choir. We instantly liked each other. We both had boyfriends/girlfriends so after about 4 months we started dating. Things were not always easy but we made them work. Then i graduated high school and he had one year left. One night after eating supper and commercial for wedding dresses came on TV. He looked over and said "so when are we going to do get one of those?" I laughed at first then I realized he was serious. so we looked at a calender and decided on the Friday before spring break, March 12. I need to give my mom and everyone else a special thank you for putting a wonderful wedding together in 1 month. Then through out the next 11 years we have 4 wonderful kids. I think that explains most of our married life. We are still head over heals in love with each other. I would not change a thing about us or about our family!!

all the maddness

In the last few weeks we have been busy. Kryssi was up and down with bad stomach pains. The good new is that she is doing better. We still have to watch her, but this last week has been good.

Also Haylee now has a thing called an expander in her mouth. Her top teeth turn in so it is made to push them out. She will have that for 6 months or so. Then if her baby teeth fall out then we will do braces for about a year. She has done real well with it so far. I guess I have enough teeth problems that it makes her want to take care of hers.

Tyler has been OK. He is reading really well now. He still does not like to read though. He wants to deal with numbers. They did time and money at school and he picked that up faster then the girls. I do have one that likes math like me YEAH!!! Also Tyler has now lost his first tooth. He thinks it's cool now.

Erin is good to. She loves school. She is growing up fast. She wants to help me with everything. She also has become a comic. She has perfected the art of voices and noises. She loves to make you laugh. even when its not the right time.

As for me and kit we are very happy. In about 3 weeks we will be married for 11 years and together for 15. We are both doing good.

Maybe we will see you all over spring break.

Kryssi is 4!!

WOW my baby is now 4!! They grow up way to fast. Kryssi decided to have a princess party. She was so happy to be the princess all day long. Her cake was Snowwhite.


We had 4 girls and 4 boys at the house. Kryssi opened her presents and got some princess dress up clothes. So the girls had a beauty show. The older boys rode scooters out side in the snow most of the party. She is kinda torn about getting older. Some days she tells me she is 4 and other she says she is still 3. We had a fun day. Thank you to all for the presents!!

opened eyes

I have realized a lot this last week. I am so so thankful for my family and all my kids. I found out that my cousin lost her baby to illness at 18 months old. I have lost a few but could not imagine the lose after being able to hold it. I have also decided to not worry about what other people think about my kids! I have been so worried about Tyler and Haylee being perfect. There is no such thing as perfect people. They are both smart but they just have extra energy. I am sure Kryssi will decided one of these days that she wants to be potty trained. I have exhausted myself doing everything I can think of for 2 1/2 years and I am done. . Erin is quite now but the first 2 years were full of screams! We all have things we are good at and things that someone else is better at. Thank you God for everything!!
