Ellysa Birthday

For Ellysa's Birthday we went to classic skating it was so fun, Ellysa really likes to go there, it was fun having her aunts, uncles grandma and grandpa, and lots of friends there to help us celebrate her 5th birthday. It was also fun seeing Grandpa waters out skating all over backwards, sideways, all around. What a fun and memorable day.

Kaizley's Birthday

For her birthday she got her first bike she was scared at first but now she loves it and rides it everywhere, she doesn't like to get off it. also when she ate her cake when she got done she rubbed it through her hair. wow what a mess!!

Grandma Waters Birthday

We went to grandma Waters Birthday today She turned 51 years young today. We made her a german chocolate cake and put 51 candles in it. WOW! The kids had fun and enjoyed eating it. Happy Birthday We Love you!!!!!

SO MUCH FUN!!!

Look How High

We went to a party at BonLosee where they had lots of food, cotton candy, snow cones, a bounce house for the kids and a rock wall. Jaxon said he wanted to do it, so I said he could try. Joe D took him to do it and they came back to tell me how fun it was. I didn't really think he would do it but he did and he loved it. This goes to show that he definitely didd not take after his mom, who is afraid of heights. I asked Ellysa if she wanted to try and she said "YES". I turned around and she was missing, so I walked to where the rock wall and there she was standing watching everyone climb, then she got so excited they asked her if she wanted to try. So they got the harness all hooked up and took her to the wall and that was it she got scared, she must be like me. So Jaxon took her turn, I think he went up it about 6 or 7 times, he was bummed out when it was time to go. Well I guess we know things that Jaxon likes and things Ellysa doesn't like.

First Day of Kindergarten

Hurray Hurray!!! Ellysa started Kindergarten finally. She was so excited when the day finally came, she woke up at 7 am and she didn't have to be there until 9:30, Oh well. She picked her outfit that she wanted to wear the first day, we walked to school, and she ate breakfast at school with Jaxon, so she thought she was so cool. At school her teacher called her name first to show what project they were doing and then she got to be the line leader all day, that made her day and she was so excited to tell me when I picked her up. What a day! glad it's over.

Like Father like Daughter

Sooooo tired!!!!! We went swimming today and I guess Joe D and Kaizley got worn out. We were eating dinner and I caught these two sleeping while eating and it's only 6:30. I guess it is an early to bed night for them. Joe D can usually fall asleep anywhere if he's that tired, but Kaizley usually won't fall asleep unless she is in her bed, so I thought this was funny, and also cute!!!

Fancy Birthday Party

Ellysa got invited to a birthday party of a little girl in her primary class. It was a Fancy party, everything was fancy, the invitation, the food the clothes, etc.. she was so excited that she got to have her hair done nice and that she got to wear a nice fancy dress. That was fun to see the look on her face when I picked her up and she told me everything she got to do, and all of the stuff that she got. It will be one she will never forget.

First Day of School

Yeah!!!!School has finally started, at least for Jaxon, I don't think it started early enough for him. He asked everyday how many days left until school started back in July. He is going to a different school this year, so he gets to go to school with his friends that we live by. He is also excited that he gets to ride his scooter to and from school, which is nice for me so I don't have to drive him to school until the weather changes. Kindergarten doesn't start until next monday, so they can do there assessment testing, so Ellysa is bored staying at home by herself with no friends to play with during the day. When she did her assessment testing the teacher came out to me and told me that Ellysa is so SMART and she couldn't believe what she knows, which of course made me proud, that would make any parent happy. Anyways it will be nice when she gets to start school, cause she gets up everyday and asks if it's her turn to go to school. SOON!

Happy Birthday Kaizley Jane

Wow What a mess, at first she was being dainty and just using her two fingers but then we handed her a spoon and the she went to town on her cake, but she had to have her milk to wash it down. And then she started rolling her cup in her cake. She had fun making a mess. yummy!

Ellysa and Bangs

Ellysa is starting kindergarten soon and she said she just had to have bangs. She said," Mom I need bangs cut cause I can't stand it when they go in my eyes." So I am hoping that if I cut her hair what she wants with in reason maybe she will STOP CUTTING it herself. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

School starts soon

Wow School Starts soon and I'm so excited! I didn't think I would be so excited but I am. We've had a crazy summer, some good some bad, so I'm glad Summer is almost over. Jaxon is going into 2nd grade he is so excited that he gets to go to school with his friends this year, even though he is in a different grade than they are due to his birthday in December. He is such a smart kid I think he'll do just fine. Ellysa is going to be in kindergarten, wow finally here, she is so excited for kindergarten, we got her a new backpack and she wears it everywhere, to her I don't think its coming fast enough. hopefully she won't give the teacher too much stress. She is trying to be a good kid most of the time. Now Kaizley and I will get a few hours just the two of us to spend time together. I think during the summer it's harder to split my time, cause it seems like they all needed me at the same time, so we tried to do lots together. we had some fun times.
