IHOP for Alyssa's birthday

For Alyssa's birthday she chose to go to IHOP for dinner and get breakfast. The girls had a good time with their smiley face pancakes.

Nattie is so cute.

This is one of my favorite pictures EVER! This is how they are but they fight all the time too.

All smiles!

A panckae just for the birthday girl. Happy 6th birthday big girl!!

Alyssa's 6

My oldest baby is 6 years old now! Can you believe it?!? I can't! I love my baby girl so much. She is growing up to be such a beautiful young lady. Hehe. Love you my Syssa girl.


Alyssa's bday cake. What a cutie!



One of the presents she got. She loves books!



Blurry picture but these are some of the outfits Syssa got for her birthday.

Six Flags

This year we decided to get season passes to six flags. There are a lot of good reasons to get these but the water park peaked my interest the most since it gets quite hot here. Today we went for the first time and the kids had a blast, they did the rides today.


Waiting for the first ride.


Nattie acted like a big girl. She didn't want to sit in the stroller she wanted to walk. She wanted to go on all the rides just like the big girls. It was too cute... there were quite a few things for her to do!


On the "ferris wheel" ride.

Nattie didn't get to go on the Wiggles plane ride. She was too small. She was sad for a minute but she got over it once she saw the slide.

Micah lookin' good.

EASTER with friends!!!

We had a great Easter celebration. Our church did something a little different for Easter and I guess it's becoming a tradition at the church. They had bright lights during the praise and worship part of the service and then before the sermon started they handed out noise makers and then bounced beach balls everywhere with a song called "Happy Day". It was actually really cool I thought. Then we came home and ate lunch and did an Easter egg hunt with our friends Raleigh, Heather, and their little boy Isaac. Then we settled down and played some golf on the playstation and then, of course, rockband. Because who can say no to rockband on Easter. Hehehe. Here are the pics of the festivities.

Busy Busy

So here it is March already and I haven't blogged since January and I have lots of good reasons why. I started doing a preschool/daycare type thing at my church called Mother's Day Out. I teach kids that started in September at 19-24 months old. Now they are all over 2. It's on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-2 so I'm gone just about all day Tuesdays with the girls' gymnastics class after Mother's Day Out. Thursdays I'm also gone most of the day. In between I do chores water my lawn that I don't want to die and spend as much time with my little ones as I can before they think they're too old for their mom. I am trying to make a better schedule so I'll be able to do the fun things I love to do like scrapbook, cross stitch, blog, etc etc etc. I need to get a lot of my stuff sorted and put away and then I will be fine. Hopefully I can get that done soon. Just rest assured that we are happy here and mostly healthy and are loving life.

I said mostly healthy because I am going to be going to an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) dr on Wednesday because I lost my voice about 5 weeks ago and it still hasn't come back completely. I've been told it can be many different things so I'm going to go and see if I can get it taken care of before it turns into something bad. I'm not nervous at all but I'd really like my voice back completely really soon. I'll post again when I figure out a good schedule. Until then, I hope you live in joy and happiness
