Back to School....2010!!!

Tyler and Mikelle....so excited to be going into 2nd and 1st Grades!

Aren't they so cute? I love the posing....can't believe they are getting so big though!

Tyler's Baptism 6-5-2010

Daniel and Tyler

Getting ready to go in to the baptismal font...

Dad, Tyler, and Mom

I can't believe Tyler is 8 years old already....he is growing up so fast! We are so proud of him for getting baptized and being such a good example to his younger siblings! We sure love him!!! :)

Mud Pies....on your head?

Shae is not the best helper in the garden.....

She smeared mud all over her head while I was watering....

How can you resist that face?

We did finally get it all out of her hair....

She wouldn't take the bottle out for a picture....but at least she waved...ha ha!

All clean and ready for bed! Yea!!!

Send in the clowns....or the acrobats....

The kindergarten classes always put on a "Circus" program at the end of the year.....with Bicycle Bears, & Jugglers, & Elephants, & Super Hoopers, & Ready Ropers, & Clowns, & Acrobats, & Bareback Riders, & Tightrope Walkers, & Strong Men!

Mikelle eating breakfast....

Posing by the front door as she leaves for school....

Mikelle was an acrobat on the flying trapeze!!!

"We fly through the air with the greatest of ease!"

She also introduced one of the "acts"! Her part was "Our next act will surely make you laugh....here come the clowns!!!" It was so cute!

Tyler's 8th Birthday! (Shae and the vacuum)

As soon as she hears the vacuum go on....shaelynn comes running! Have you ever heard of a 1 year old that loved vacuums? None of my other kids liked them.....most of them were scared of it!

Well she likes to come put her mouth on the little light on the front.....I think she likes to feel the vibration! Anyway....just thought this was too funny!

Shae and Austin were happy to help make Tyler's birthday cake! At least they were happy to help lick the beaters and bowl clean! :)

Yummy cake batter!!!

I love this cute little face....I also love that she says "cheese" now when you take her picture!

Austin is definitely my big helper these days.....he loves to help take care of his little sister!

Tyler turned 8 on May 4th! I can't believe he is getting so big.....where did the time go?

He will be getting baptized this next month and starting cub scouts! Yikes!

Tyler invited 10 friends over for cake and punch and presents and games!

They played on the trampoline most of the time! Thanks Grandma.....it is definitely the new favorite thing!!!

They also did a water balloon relay race that ended up in a water balloon fight! Then we tossed footballs into the football net! Tyler was thrilled to get 7 new bakugans for his birthday among other fun stuff! :)

Happy Birthday Ty! We love you!

We have a winner!!!

I currently have 109 hairbows!!! But I am in the process of making more.....cause I totally need them....ha ha! I guess I'll just have to eliminate again! :) So that makes our winner ~ Dianna ~ with her guess of 106! Since I didn't post a picture of the prize at the beginning I decided to let the winner choose between these 4, since it would stink to get something lame or that you don't need! :) So leave a comment and tell me which one you want!

*Just a reminder: The blog address for the flowers and baby stuff is www.fromheadtotoesbuttonsandbows.blogspot.com I put some new stuff on there so go check it out!

How many is too many? (And a Free Give-away for the one with the answer)

I had to make myself a new Flower Clip Holder with an additional ribbon to hold all my flowers and it still didn't give them all a home! I even eliminated.....and still not enough room! Any guesses on how many Flowers and Bows I actually have? I should do a giveaway for whoever comes the closest! Maybe I will....whoever guesses the right amount or is closest to it will win......hmmmmm.......a Flower Clip! YEA!!!! So start guessing.....leave a comment! And then go check out our Buttons and Bows Blog to see all the fun stuff we make and sell! Carseat and Nursing Shades, Nursing Pillows, Baby Bracelets, Flower Clips (of course)......just to name a few! The blog address is http://www.fromheadtotoesbuttonsandbows.blogspot.com/ or you can just go click on the link at the side of my blog! :) Good luck to all! This give-away will end on Feb. 28th so check back then to see who won and what the prize will be!

P.S. You can try and count but remember......it doesn't hold them all! So you really do have to guess!

New Addiction....

My sister has now gotten me addicted to Digital Scrapbooking! Smilebox is so much fun! :)
We made a Robot Valentine's Box with TYLER!

It was fun and he thought it turned out awesome!

We are so proud of Ty for reaching his 100% reading goal and earning his T-shirt and book! He is such a smart kid. He reads really well and loves math too! I can't believe how big he is!

First time shaving!?!?!? ;)

Daniel woke me up this morning and told me I had to come take a picture of Austin.

I guess Austin wanted to shave like his Daddy was!

Like father like son.....ha ha! I also thought it was funny that neither of them had a shirt on! :)

He thought it was great....shaving at 2 years old....LOL!

Is she not the cutest thing you've ever seen??? She loves to climb up on this stool in the kitchen.....I dunno why, maybe she likes feeling taller? If it's in the middle of the room she gets stuck and when she realizes she can't get back down she yells till you come get her off, but it's so funny to watch her climb up and wave to you and get so proud of herself!

Austin couldn't miss out on a photo shoot! So he joined Shaelynn! What an adorable pair! I love his cowlicks and when his hair is combed he is just so handsome! Watch out girls....he's gonna be a heartbreaker!!!

Shaelynn looks so much older with her little pigtails! She can now tell you what the lion says.....and it is just so funny to hear a growl come out of this cute tiny little thing! I love her!

Can I just say how much I love these little pink boots! They are just TOO CUTE!!!

Our first real sledding trip of the season!!!

We went out to the Coral Pink sand dunes on Saturday for a snow day! :) I thought I had forgotten my camera, but found it when the kids were having hot chocolate and getting in the car to warm up!
Shae slept in the car until the kids were pretty much done....but we got her out for a minute while they had hot cocoa and pulled her around on the little tube. She wasn't too amused! :)

Daniel and I decided to run back up the hill and do a few more slides by ourselves while the kids warmed up in the car! So here is our self-portrait at the top of the hill! (Still kids at heart...ha ha)

Daniel tried snowboarding on the sled.....didn't work too well! :)

He got an earful of snow....lol! I was laughing so hard! ;P

I will have to get pics of the kids actually sledding from our friends (the Hiatts) who went with us, but until then....here they are in the car all worn out after a fun day of playing in the snow!

Austin and Shaelynn in the back! We had a great day!

I was boxing stuff up and found my blessing dress so I sqeezed Shaelynn into it for a quick picture! She still fit in it at one year old! She is so tiny! I just couldn't do the top button up.

So pretty in Mommy's blessing dress!

Another thing I forgot to put on her! We were flying to Florida on Halloween so I never dressed her up in her costume! So here is our little pink leapard (it's kinda small on her though)!

Austin and Shae love to play baby dolls together with her boy and girl twins she got for Christmas this year! So cute!
