Our November 2013

November is here! Can't believe the year is coming to an end! I love November because it is a good month to remember what you are Thankful for and it is a family month! Love being with Family for the holidays!

Baron is doing great in school and gymnastics all of the other sports are on hold during winter months. He loves school and is doing great at reading! We are definitely in a routine. After dinner it is bath time then Baron or I will read to the kids and we say prayers and put the kids to sleep. We keep Lil Baron up for 15 minutes reading with him and learning his sight words. After we are done reading, I tuck the kids in their beds tickle their backs sing Tinkle tinkle little stars. When I sing that song Baron will hold his hand in a diamond it is so cute!
One night the girls weren't going to sleep and Little Bear went and opened their door and said,"Girls go to sleep this isn't a party!" Baron and I were laughing it was too funny! This month November 9th my Dad's dad passed away. He was my last living grandfather hard to believe! He was a Great man and a wonderful grandfather! I was telling the kids that my Grandpa died and Lil Baron is very compassionate and knew this was sad thing for me. He said,"Mommy are you ok? Is your Grandma alive? I said,"Yes!" "Mommy at least you have your Grandma and you have us! Don't be sad!" What a good boy Lil Baron is! I love that my kids are compassionate and know how to show their love melt my heart!

Brecklyn is my little Mischievous one! The other day she got in the whip cream had it all over her hands, bathroom and kitchen! She is so funny! Always in to something!!

Brightlyn got into my makeup it was all over the bathroom! She loves putting on lip gloss and getting her nails painted! Brightlyn told me,"Mommy kissing a boy is yucky!"

Braycen is my little man he is a Mommy's boy! He loves me holding him and doesn't like if anyone else is getting held! He will push them right out of the way! He is saying sorry! The kids told me I was the best Mommy in the world! 

We drove to Utah to be with my family for my Grandpa Harris Funeral on the 15th and 16th it was a fast trip they kids were so good! I am so blessed to have great kids and an Amazing Husband to be supportive for me! I was so blessed to be there to celebrate his life and reflect in the Amazing man he was! 

Then on the 19th Baron parents came out to visit and be with us for Thanksgiving we had a great time being with them and enjoying their company and love. One tradition I lioke to carry on from my Grandma Jeri (Harris) is to go around the table and say what you are Thankful for, it is nice to reflect on all your blessings with your family.

A fun activity Baron and I also went snowboarding the first time this season on the 8th at Boreal Resort. It's been a long time since we both went. I think it had been 5 years but we had a great time it was like riding a bike and I think I even impressed Baron! We always enjoy being together :)! Love my Family!

Our October 2013

I love October because it is Little Bears birthday month! I can't believe 6 years ago I became a Mom and Baron became a Dad! Little Bear isn't so little he is our BIG kindergarten. He is so big that I drop him off at the curb at school and watch him run to the playground with his class. I can't believe it!! It seems like yesterday he was on his little scooter bike wearing out his shoes from scooting! I love watching him grow into the little man that he is! On his birthday week we had to have all of us get Flu shots. Baron said,"I don't want to be healthy!" He didn't want a flu shot!! All the  kids were crying and screaming in the doctors office! Looking back at it, it is funny but not when we were there! As a family we celebrated Baron 6th birthday at Chuck e Cheese! The kids love Chuck e cheese! Then for the friends birthday we rented out a Bounce house place. It was a lot of fun for the kids and grown ups. Baron had a fun birthday it was a ninja turtle theme! He was able to sit in a gigantic chair that was blow up to open presents it was really cool! Always so fun to see all the kids so happy and excited! We also had Baron's soccer end of season party with trophies and fun!! It was a fun season!

When I picked Brecklyn up from school she said,"Mommy I love making friends!" Brecklyn also told Brightlyn,"Lets be Best Friends Forever!" She is so cute what she says. Brecklyn has a big imagination and is always busy thinking about or pretending to play princess.

Brightlyn is a little mommy. I wasn't feeling good and she said,"Mommy you don't feel so good, take a bath!" Something so cute Brightlyn said on Halloween when we would go to the houses and when people would answer their door, Brightlyn would say,"This house isn't working!"

Braycen is saying more words everyday he loves saying,"Snack,snack" he will walk around the house saying it non stop too cute! He is also saying Thank you! I love hearing his first words! He loves to climb and is so brave just like how Brecklyn was they are both climbers. He is climbing up the tree house by himself! He is a little dare devil! No fear he wants to be just as big as his brother and sisters! 

We always have fun in October celebrating Baron birthday! We also had Megan Green visit from Las Vegas she was the kids babysitters in Vegas she came and spent 3 days with us! We went to a pumpkin patch with the kids. We also took her and the kids to see the Salmon at Taylor Creek went hiking and saw the Salmon Spawning. We even saw a brown bear in the distance! Really neat! This month I put the 3 kids in time out, it was so cute Braycen followed them and put his Hands on the wall and sat in time out with them! The girls had there 1st dance recital it was a glow dance party! So fun to see how they dance! They are so cute! We carved pumpkins the week before Halloween the kids love doing it. Baron and I took them to the Trunk or Treat at the church it was a lot of fun! Nevada Days Carnival with the kids.  The kids had little Primary Program! They did such a great job love watching them grow!! Halloween is always fun we do dinner in a pumpkin and we walked around our neighborhood we were the only ones treat or treating in the neighborhood we have a quiet neighborhood. We also went to a treat or treating carnival right after school! The kids had a great time, we won a basketball hoop and the kids were so excited!!

Our September 2013

We Love September, because it is Daddy's Birthday month!! This year we flew on Baron birthday to Disney World!! On the flight to Disney World the flight attendant said over the intercom Happy Birthday to Baron!! My request, it was a fun surprise for Baron :). Note to self flying on your birthday is not the best, but we made the most out of it! My Dad met us in Vegas on our connection flight to help us with the kids on the plane! Honestly, I have the best kids when it comes to traveling!! They were the Best on both flights!! 

We stayed at the Bonnet Creek Resort!! So Fun!! We rented a 12 passenger van ha ha!! It was a blast!! 

One of my favorite highlights is seeing the Kids get so Excited to see all the Characters and ride the rides!! Some of the highlights of our trip was Baron dressing up as Peter Pan for the Magic Kingdom and seeing Peter Pan and Wendy in the Park!! Peter Pan and Wendy took Baron to the front of the line to take pictures with them!! He was so Excited!! The girls loved the Princess Dinner and Braycen got his first kiss on the cheek at dinner from Snow White!! He thought it was so funny and so did all the kids!! Braycen was pretty funny he really learned how to drink out of a straw this trip and lets just say he loves his root beer!! Something that was so funny that happened Brecklyn had to go potty when we were in the parking lot of Disneyworld. I said,"Brecklyn their is no potty!" I turned around and she had dropped her pants in the middle of the lane peeing right in the parking lot! We were all laughing! Brightlyn loves the Ariel ride it is her favorite and she loves Ariel. 
We always stand out when we go to the parks with our 4 person stroller!! We will always get comments like,"Wow now that is a stroller or Wow a 4 person stroller I have never seen that before!! We have quite the ride!! We had a great vacation as a family!! We enjoy my Dad coming with us and being together.

Now it is back to the routine of school, gymnastics, soccer and dance!! We stay busy with activities and have fun doing them!! I picked Baron up from kindergarten the other day and I said, "How was your day?" He said," I am so tired the girls were chasing me and trying to hug me, I hope it doesn't happen tomorrow!" The life of a kindergartner love it!! Baron got Brecklyn in trouble when it was an accident. So he got sent to time out. He was really quite and said,"Mommy I guess you should spank me with a really scared look on his face!" I said,"Baron you should be spanked for getting Brecklyn in trouble, but I am going to have you go to your room because what you did was wrong. He looked at me so relieved and said okay and hurried to his room. Baron's birthday week started on the 27th the kids love birthday weeks Baron and I love making the week special for the kids.

When we got home Brecklyn is very strong willed and if you tell her no she finds a way to do it anyways! This was cute Brecklyn had an accident. I said Brecklyn you need to listen to your body. She said,"Mommy my body doesn't talk!" So cute!! We were at gymnastics and Brecklyn said,"Mommy tell them what you do, you sell body wraps Mommy!" she was trying to sell the body wraps to people. She helped me book a party. Love kids they have no fear.

Brightlyn loves to help me she loves to help with the laundry and loves being held. She loves getting one on one attention! she loves to watch tv with me while the kids are at school and Braycen is napping and loves chocolate milk. She is also, so particular she loves having a napkin whenever she eats. Brecklyn says, "Bright just wipe it with your hand!" Too funny! they are complete opposites on some things and very similar in others.

Braycen is getting Big and is so cute with his little waddle walk. He has always been in barefeet because of summer we put shoes on him on the 24th it was too funny he looked at the shoes like.. what are you putting on my feet?!? He tried walking it was like walking with ski's he couldn't  do it at first! Braycen favorite word is no and he loves drinking of of a cup with a straw it is so cute! He is getting so big!! Love all my kids and Family!! We had a great September being as a family at Disneyworld! We enjoy being together! Watching the kids faces light up when they see the characters!
