Busy week but fun..

My first week home from surgery was a busy one. My sister came out to help assist me and brought my cutest nephew ever little Zane. By the way i did have a little back surgery and had a huge herniated disk they had to laser off...not fun...but i feel a lot better not having the pain i had. Back to my week.....It was sad that i couldn't hold my sweet boy but i did get to take some cute pictures of him and i loved having them come. It can get hard sometimes not living around family. Now that my sister and i are so close and she is a stay at home mom i wish we lived closer so we could hang out and i could watch my nephew grow up and my newest nephew my brother Ben and Gwendolyn had their baby too little Henry is so adorable and i miss my family...We also had the opportunity to have my brother Sterling and Char come out with my other nieces and nephew Jayde,Kati, and Colton come stay with us they are HUGE Cowboys fans and we got tickets to see them play against the Broncos...the boys were sooooo into it....i will post more photos of them at the game when i sort through them. We did lose so sad but they had the time of their lives and it was sooo fun to have them here. We hope more family will visit in the future. I also got to take some fun pictures of the girls and wished i didn't have surgery so i could of done more i feel awful and hope i wasn't a stick in the mud. But all in all it was a very busy week and i am grateful to my sis and Mikes dad for coming out to help me...

Happy 11th Madison

It is hard to believe how fast your kids grow....Madison 11 crap...only a few more years and she is officially a teenager even though she acts like one anyway. She had a pretty good day i would say. And as you can tell yes we got her a phone......okay i know what you are thinking ......what in the heck are WE thinking right.....well she has already had it taken away from her a few times. She texts from morning till night which is good we have unlimited texting...however she seems to of forgotten about the world taking place beyond it soo.....yes chores still do exist. And yes parents may not always be the smartest on the block when it comes to gifts and so forth. but the damage is done and she will hopefully learn that much earlier....yes us too.. Happy Birthday Madi.

Madison's First day of Middle School

Okay so Madison started Middle school this week and it is a little freaky to me. For all of you who remember middle school can relate to my fear.....I fear that madi so sweet will have a good year and not have to deal with all the mean kids that are trying to still figure out who they are. in the picture where she is at the bus stop she is giving me a dirty look cause she is mad that i didn't take her to school the first day...and she has told me that the bus is sooo crowded there is three kids to a seat and the older kids are being mean. That makes me sad. But...we all went through it and it is her turn i need to let go and not stress it is just wierd being on the other end of things and having to experience it all over again through Madi. Sooooo much drama. But she loves her teachers and her classes except gym....BIG suprise..ha ha. But she definately isn't afraid of who she is and she still has her cute little fashion sense that is going to cost me a fortune with three girls...am i truley ready for this.....not really, but of course we never have a choice right. I guess i better stop rambling and deal with reality. By the way look at how itty bitty Madi is.....it makes me smile.

Brookie's First Day of Kindergarten

Yesterday was a very exciting day. Brookie started Kindergarten at Creekside elementary or as Brookie calls it the BIG kid school. She was not nervous at all. She was also very happy when one of her good friends from Preeschool ended up in her class and she now has a friend she knows and will help her. The best part of her day was riding home on the bus with all the kids and she can't wait to ride it every day. When i asked her what she did in school she simply answered "Mom i don't remember, but can i ride the bus again tmorrow"...Silly girl. It kind of makes me sad to know all my beautiful girls are growing up so fast and Madi will be starting middle school on monday...At least we have a while before dating takes place thank goodness. Aj gets to stay home one more year before starting preeschool so she can perfect her potty training..yeah at least i can say it is my last and i am sooo happy...honestly to all you new mothers i feel it to be one of worst parts of raising children so while you are all wiping poop off the floors and walls i will sit back and laugh.....ha ha ha!!!!

I Love Strawberry Sauce!!

Aydan had to much fun eating strawberries..but even more fun putting her hands in the glaze and getting it everywhere. I am not sure why but she seems to do this with ranch or ketchup as well and then painting either herself or my table with it.....I think we have an artist on our hands. Now to teach her not to do it with food but paint and on paper not her body or furniture...that is the challenge...she is lucky she is so darn cute!

Happy late 4th

The 4th was kind of nonexistent this year...it rained we bought our own and tried to light them a day later but Mike felt weird like all the neighbors would get mad and AJ was scared of the loud noises and would run behind the car every time to hide her face was priceless though....she did love the sparklers though....we will have to try again next year for a funner holiday. For those who haven't noticed AJ has a new haircut too....she kept moving when i was trying to trim her mullet but kept moving and her hair got shorter and shorter until it turned in to an accidental cute bob....i love it on her so i guess it was meant to be.

Madi's New Haircut

My beautiful Madison....She loved how Selina Gomez cut her hair and looked so she decided to try it and she looks so cute....For those of you who also don't know Madi got seleced to participate in the Denver Pre-Teen Beauty Pageant....sooooo weird i never thought i would ever be apart of something like this so this is all new to me and finding out soooo much work. We finaly found her dress for the formal wear and she looks gorgeous in it. We are curently trying to get our sponsors together and in a week Madi will go through training to learn how to walk and interview properly and all the other stuff that goes with it. If she wins she could go to Florida to particate in the Nationals to try for scholarships and cars and trips and all that good stuff so cross your fingers for her it is Aug 30th we will keep everyone updated on her progress. We are so proud of her for getting chosen and for all the hard work she is putting forth. GOOD LUCK MADI!!!!!
