My Girls- lately

TYLER ELE- who is just a month away from turning 6. She loves projects and always wants something to do. Lately she's been telling me "mom I want to be entertained".
Here are 2 things she's done lately that crack me up.

If you can't read this paper it says "put muney in Here". She took her paper and a cup and went and set it out front on our sidewalk. So funny. She thought people would just walk by and put money in her cup! We told her she needs to do something for the money, so she rode her bike around and tried to do some tricks:) Me and Dave put some money in.
Then this next little project of hers is pretty creative.
She watched on some TV show how you should recycle and make other uses of recyclable items. So one afternoon she goes out back gets a chair to put by our big green recyle bin and starts digging in it and pulling out all sorts of things. She puts it all on the trampoline, gets some scissors, glue and tape and goes to work. About 2 hrs later she's made me a hat! I was very impressed. She even wrote "mom is the Bist" on it with a tic tac toe board.

Tyler is definently our arts and crafts kid. She loves making stuff and painting. She is also probably the best 5yr old whistler there is. She whistles contantly.
MADIE KAI- 4 1/2 yrs old. Our little princess. This is our one with quite the imagination. She can make believe play for hours. She LOVES getting dressed up and LOVES playing make believe with all her dolls. Mads is also my singer. She sings every single song that comes on the radio. I love it.
My fairy all tuckered out with makeup all over her face.
TAYTERS- 2o months old. I don't know what's going on with this one lately but she is quite frankley driving me crazy. Her favorite word is NO as she shakes her head, or cries, or throw things, or screams. She is VERY temperamental. When she gets in these moods there's nothing stopping her. She loves to sing and always wants nursery rhymes in the car, but if the other girls try to sing she freaks out at them. Even if I try and sing a song to the radio she yells NO at me. This is her yelling no at me while I'm trying to take her picture.

Every now and then (its rare lately) I get her in a good mood and she is the cutest thing. Barney is her favorite show and as long as she doesn't know I'm watching she will sing and dance her heart away. It's SOOO cute. She still lets me rock her every night and sings (yells) along with me singing to her. It's my favorite time with her, I love it. Just look how cute she CAN be.



Whenever I ask her if she wants something that she really wants she throws both arms in the air and says "yay!"
And- a little family fun of twister!

40th Anniversary!!

Dec. 29 2011, my parents just had their 40th anniversary! Me and Dave had our 10 last year, it's so crazy to think what our lives will be at 40. We made my parents a book of some pictures of their last 40yrs. It's so fun to see them at the very begining and different stages of their lives. Here are a few of them. I LOVE all the old school pictures (hair cuts, cloths, mustaches:)





Gotta LOVE mine and Melanie's hair cuts:)!! (I was just trying to picture if I did Tyler and Madix's hair like this)







This is thier WHOLE family after 40 yrs!
My mom and dad took a trip to San Francisco, then when they got back Mel and her family suprised them coming into town. We made this cool book for them and took them out to a nice dinner and a fun game of bowling.



My dad was the big winner, Dave took a close 2nd.




Fun night to celebrate my wonderful, cute parents!! What a great example they've been of a wonderful companionship, the best parents, and excellent grandparents. Happy 40th Anniversary!!
