Princess Paige is *11*

A surprise wake up bright and early.

The only thing she wanted...monster high dolls (not easy to find people).

All pretty and ready for school.

Our tradition of eating lunch together at school...brought her Panda (her favorite). Ellie's teacher let her leave class to eat with us too!

Her dinner of choice...Francesco's.

We hit Justice after for some shopping on grandma Sherry's tab...and managed to find 2 more monster high dolls later that week.

Oh how I love this child of mine...something about your first born! Why does she have to keep getting older and wiser...it scares me?! Happy Birthday Paige!

My Jack turns *5*

Today my baby boy turned 5...and we partied it up good!

Waking up with his favorite 'batman' kitty.

Breakfast and some presents.

A fabulous burger king party with awesome friends.

More presents...all the way from Japan (ok, I bought them here...grandma and grandpa get the credit).

A visit from grandma and grandpa.

It's not a birthday until you get balloons.

Then we were off to dinner...Jack's choice, Jason's Deli.

And build a bear.

Jack and his bear 'Coco Pedal'.

I love this kid!!

Paige's Birthday Party!

It's Birthday time at our house. Paige and Jack's birthday's are 3 days apart...so it's been an eventful week. Paige's party was first...

Pizza, Ice skating, Presents, and Good Times! A fun group of girls, and they were Olympic ice skaters by the end of the night!

The Pumpkin Patch!

Nothing like tractors, hay, dirt, and rows of pumpkins!

We picked us some good pumpkins this year!

Year Round School is AWESOME!!

We spent the last 3 weeks off track! The first few days are awesome...we sleep in, we veg out all day, and then we get bored. So I have to 'entertain' my children for 13 more days.

Here's what we did...

Found our Halloween costumes, and tried on a lot of masks and hats.

Enjoyed Olive Garden for Callie's birthday.

Played 'school' a lot!

Got to play with baby Reese (yum)!

Then we headed to St.George for some R&R, and to watch the marathon.

No pictures of Joe running or finishing the marathon, we documented more important moments...like eating at Golden Spoon every night!

Took a few naps.

Our cousins came to stay with us for a few days while Phil & Alaina were in Hawaii. We partied it up good with them...so much fun! However, I don't want 5 kids!

And now we are back in school...Yay!
