Merry Christmas

James is one

We had pictures taken of James for his birthday. He was being so cute. We had a small party for him at the house with his brothers and sister. He had a great time.

Moving Day

We are officially moving into our new house today. It is an awesome 5 bedroom split level house. We love it. I really didn't know just how much stuff we had. I'll be unpacking forever.

Pam's big day

Today Pam was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was thrilled to finally do this. When Aaron was baptized, she wanted to be too. We explained to her that she had to wait till she was 8 yrs old. So for three years she kept telling us she couldn't wait any longer to be 8. Now Anthony is demanding to be 8.

Pam

James had a busy day.

Today James was a little tired after church. He fell asleep while eating a mini taco.

Party!!!!!!!

Pam had her birthday party at Funtasia Fun Park. She asked me to make a cake with a gymnast on it. My hands are still slightly blue.

Bumper cars were a big hit. All the kids loved them and laser tag as well.

I was feeding James cake but had to leave for a minute. When I turned around the cake was gone.

Anthony and all the kids(except James) loved the Fun Fortress. There was a ball pit, giant tubes, moon bounce and a lot of other fun things to do.

Pam is 8!!!!!!

We had a small party today for Pam's 8th birthday. It was just family. Pam asked me to to make a heart cake that day so this is what you get. She had a great time celebrating with her brothers.

11 months and counting...

He got big real quick. He is now wearing size 12 months clothes and weighs a whole 20lbs 6 ozs.

James no longer eats baby food. His favorite so far is Mac n cheese casserole. He doesn't seem to like Kraft mac n cheese though.

James is now up to seven teeth and working on another.

Happy Halloween

This year we decided to do a family theme for Halloween.

Jaime "Two-Face"

Mary "Catwoman"

Aaron "Joker"

Pam "Poison Ivy"

Anthony "Batman"

James "Robin"

We all had a great time and came home with more candy than we could ever eat.

Yet another Pack meeting success

The theme for this pack meeting was Jungle Safari.

This is the ultra cool Snake Cake that Kirsten and Eve put together.

We were so very lucky to have Joe aka "Safari Jack" come by to tell us all about animals. The boys and their family's had a lot of fun making animal masks. My kids kept me running all over the place. Jaime was helping someone move and doing scripture study with a friend so I was alone with the kids. Thankfully the kids were great for me.

10 months ago...

James just keeps getting cuter. He turned 10 months today. Man, how time flies. Lets see, he weighs 17 lbs and is very active. James has now discovered the wonderful taste of brownies. Thanks Aaron. He loves to talk. James has been saying lots of dadadas, mamamas and other sounds. He enjoys listening to us respond to him and gets a huge smile on his face. Other than that no big things happening around here lately.

Ahh, how they grow up....

The kids came home today with their school pictures. Pam was thrilled to show them off.

They both need to stop growing up. It's just not fair.

Take me out..

Someone at work gave Jaime 2 tickets to the Mariners game last. So we took the bus downtown and enjoyed a great game.

We were sitting in row 12 right on the 3rd base line. It was nice to get out just the two of us.

The Moose had fun on the A's dugout.

After the game we walked up to the bus stop. While we were waiting I tried to take a picture with my cell phone.

The bus

As promised, I took pictures of Anthony and the bus today. He was ready to go wait for the bus at 11:00am but the bus doesn't come until 11:45am. We compromised and went out at 11:40.

Anthony kept telling me he rode bus 157 and asking "Where is it ?"

He ran up to the bus and went right up the steps without so much as a bye or a hug.

As you can see, he has a nice little car seat. Apparently, schools only care about the safety of pre-schoolers. Hmmmm.
