Where did he go????

Jacob sleeps in a travel crib since we moved. He can very easily get out but he usually always sleeps in it. I put him down for a nap and then I went to check on him and all I found was the empty crib but then I heard light snoring and thats when I found him all curled up on my bed...poor baby missin his mama and daddy.

Ari gets her haircut November 1st

Ari decided she wanted her hair shorter we weren't sure how short until we went to a salon and saw the perfect picture for Ari's haircut. Ari loves it and we all think it is so cute!!!!

Walk for Diabetes

Our family had the opportunity to walk for diabetes at Tempe lake Halloween morning...People walking for a cure. Saying boo to diabetes. It was a very cool experience to see all these people supporting a person in walking for a cure. My favorite shirt was a picture of a pancreas that had an arrow pointing to it saying I'm with dummy.
We wore shirts supporting Team Seth. Chris had a co-worker who was friends with this family. It was such a cool experience...I want to do it again next year!!!!


The walkers.....
Yes even I was up in the early am....I didn't work the night before...it was my day off...YES!

Ari the princess witch....she looked awesome in purple.

Jacob our little vampire.....

We got the cool caldrons from Channing's 8th Birthday party. He had a Harry Potter party. It was great.

Cake and presents!!! Sept 2nd 2009

Danya's friend suzie makes the most awesome cakes....this was the cake she made for Jacob's Party. She did an amazing job...the hardest part was keeping little fingers out of it before it was cut. Jacob received some great presents from grandparents and Aunt and Uncles and kids. It was a great day!

Thanks everyone for the presents and birthday wishes!!!!

Jacob's 2nd Birthday Party

Chris had the idea to have Jacob have a racing party...Jacob loves cars. The kids started out registering for the race. Next they raced small cars on tracks and then there were prizes. The kids had a great time. Jacob wasn't sure about all the fun...still a little to young to drive but he decided to run after the trucks with his dump truck. He had lots of fun!!! I think Channing, Cameron and Cason enjoyed the truck racing more but I know everyone had a good time.

Bucket fun Sept 2nd 2009

The same morning of Jacob's Birthday he was so excited to play in a bucket he found. He was even more thrilled when Chris started carrying him around.

Sept 2nd 2009 Soggy bottom britches

The morning of Jacob's birthday we got some rain. In Arizona the rain comes fast and just floods fast then it's gone leaving it's puddles all over. Jacob took advantage of this muddy mess and had a good time playing in the water and mud. We were a little concerned if it would dry out in time for his Birthday party. We are lucky it did.

Makuta

Makuta is a indoor treehouse...Jacob and I went with Danya and kids. The kids had a blast.
This is the main tree house. They have about four. Each one has all sorts of slides and they can connect to each other.
Brotherly love...

Don't let the plastic fool you these slides are amazing...I received a plastic burn from going down it.

Jacob and Cason love looking at the fishes. They saw a fish that looked like Nemo...they were so excited!!!
