Emmie Turns Five

Emmie was sad I didn’t post her party so I promised I would put up her Minnie Mouse Celebration! This was a fun day and she enjoyed every minute about it!

Scooter Girl

Emmie loves camping because she has free access to her scooter. She feels like a big kid. She is very small for her age so she looks so little on her scooter going around the campground.

Emmie has her own style and I can never get her to wear anything she doesn't want to!

Emmie Surfs!

Noah teaching Emmie how to surf. I love this shot, She really trusts her big brother!

It’s been a while since I have posted much of anything so I thought I better update before summer. Noah turned 13 April 19th and is a total man. He starts 8th grade and is just such a great kid. Jonah turned 10 May 23rd and is still our little guy. He is going into 5th grade. He is very sweet and tender hearted. Both boys love surfing and skateboarding. Emmie turned 5 on April 21st and is all princess. She is nothing but little girl. We had a Minnie Mouse Party for her, she loved it. We also have adopted a little dog who we rescued from the Humane Society. She is a adorable and fun and Emma’s best friend! I now have two little girls who follow me everywhere! I am sad to say I am not in cardswap anymore and miss the creative deadlines and challenges. Not to mention the girlfriends. I figure I now have time to scrapbook my children’s baby books and all our vacations or summer’s at the beach. But, 8 months have gone by and I am almost out of cards and really have not done much other that clean my craft room. It looks really good though!!!! Brad is great, working hard and loving his job. I am going to post a ton of pictures I have taken over the last 8 months and try to keep up. Summer is here and I will need some luck with the keeping up on blogging.

Summer Sun

I made some cards for the Cards Magazine cover contest. I didn't win : ( but it was a fun challenge. They asked for two cards made with similar colors to compliment each other. They were to be one vertical and one horizontal the same size to be published together. I will post a few that I submitted. I loved the idea of a layered sun and the colors turned out super cute! Let me know what you think!

Emmie Barbie Princess Birthday Party!

Emmie had so much fun at her Barbie Princess party! She invited seven little girls and they had lunch and played. She actually opened her own presents this year. All the little girls dressed up like princesses, it was so cute. They really loved the cake and it turned out cute with a little help from one of Emma's Barbies. She got lots of fun new toys to play with. I cant believe she is 3 years old! My little girl is growing up so fast!

Okay, so it's been a while since my last update. We just past spring break and now I am getting ready for birthday parties again! Emmie will be 3 this month she is such a little girl and loves pink pink pink! Noah will be 11 and his love for building things science and history he must get from his father! I am planning a Barbie Princess Party for Emmie and Noah will have a Wii party for a few friends. Then in May Jonah will be 8 and he will be getting baptized! I am going to have the biggest Luau Party for him and we are going to get him another surfboard. He has turned out to be the little surfer! He is ready for his own board! Time sure seems to fly! They are all growing up so fast!

I just got a new computer and hope to be able to keep up with my posts! The kids are not allowed to use it anymore due to the constant problems. This means it's mine all mine! All I need now is a little free time and some creative ideas. I will be able to check out other blogs for cute ideas and I can start keeping in touch again! If anyone knows of any great blogs they think I would love let me know!

Halloween Was So Much Fun!

We had so much fun this year! We went to Bates Nut Farm to feed the animals and pick out pumpkins. It was neat to see the little girls trying to pick up the heavy ones. We took some fresh lettuce and carrots for the animals this year, it was easier for the little ones to feed them. We went to another pumpkin patch that had rides, the boys loved it! We will definitely be back next year. We had our annual Fall Festival at school and played lots of games. This year my friend Charla and I did lots of baking for the festival to raise money for the school it was so much fun! This year Noah was a zombie, Jonah was a vampire and Emmie was a princess and a witch. They were all so cute! We crashed our old wards Trunk or Treat. Our ward decided to not have one this year, the kids were really sad so we visited some old friend and made some new ones! Halloween night we went to Carmel Mountain Ranch and went to all the stores. They have an annual Trick or Treat for all the kids in the neighborhood. Then as if we needed more candy the kids decided to do a little more trick or treating all the way to our friends house. We finished the night with a scary movie and Pat and Oscars. I just love Halloween and this year was so much fun!
