Ok so this is Mack and Sausage the Blue tongued skink, he really does look like a sausage doesn't he. This is at the reptile show we went to at the Rec Center on Halloween it was really fun.

What Cute kids!!!

Eww scary this is Allyssa and her friend Julie. They were Zombies at school in their Halloween program. Everytime Issy would look at them she would cry. These pictures are at their Halloween parade they had at the beginning of school.

What a cute Clown I can't believe she let me paint her face.

Isn't she cute Issy really likes the cats she loves to play with them and the only word she says is "Meow".

Ok so Allyssa had a B-day party with the girls they gave themselves pedicures and manicures and then the next day they dressed up in all my dance costumes and paraded around the house.They really had alot of fun. But boy was I glad when it was over.

Issys first snow she wanted to play in it but we didn't have any boots for her. Can you believe it snowed 9 inches the day before. What a way to start October, but it melted really fast

Ok so October has come and gone and so I thought I would update our blog.
We have been very busy this month. Allyssa had her 12th birthday thats right I am now a mother of a 12yr old. It hasn't been to bad so far she is a good girl and does alot for me sometimes I feel bad because I ask her to do so much, but she is so good to just do it and not argue at least most of the time. She started YW's and that is going great. They are doing a Roadshow this month and Allyssa got the lead part so she was really excited, she has always enjoyed acting and singing so we will see how it turns out. I have been busy planning and executing Halloween parties for the kids classes at school. It has been really fun but really busy I also started tending my neighbors kids a couple weeks ago it is going ok, there are three of them a 5 yrold boy a 2 1/2 yr old boy and an 8month old little girl. They are cute kids . The boys are doing fabulous Timmy is kind of struggling with reading but we are working on that. Bryan is still working at the Church Office Building doing computers he likes it still so I guess that is good. We had a blast for Halloween the kids had a Halloween parade at school and then parties I was in charge of Allyssa's Class party it went well. Thursday night the 6th graders did a Halloween program it was cute they did a really good job I will post a picture of Allyssa and her friend Julie they are supposed to be zombies I thing they look really good. They scared Issy everytime she looked at Allyssa she would start to cry. On Halloween we all dressed up and went and did a trunk or treat with Michele and Steve then we went Trick or treating Issy had a blast but as soon as she saw the candy she wanted to eat it. And to top of the night we went to a Reptile show at our City Rec. hall it was a blast the kids had fun seeing the reptiles Mackey got to hold a blue tongue Skink I think thats what it was called any way its name was Sausage when you see the picture you will know why. Well gotta go do crossing Guard I will post pictures when I get back.

Timmy's Birthday

Timmy's birthday party was great. He got lots of stuff the theme was Batman that is what I decided because he would never tell me what kind of party he wanted and I had a vision for his cake so that is what he got . He was especially excited to get the money from Grandma and Grandpa Smith he hasn't spent it yet he is still decideing what to get.
Batman, Batman, BatmanWOW LOOK AT THAT CAKE!!!!!

Yea School is in session!!!!!

Yea school has started the kids were pretty excited this year to start school so far all has gone good they all got fabulous teachers. This is what they wore on the first day, you can't see all of Allyssa's outfit she is wearing leggings and converse tennis shoes, talk about take you back to the the eighties, I wanted to cut her hair and stick her bangs up but she wouldn't let me. She did look very cute however.
This is Issy on the first day of school we were kind of slow so she had to eat while we walked the kids to school.
Many of you know we got a dog well here is a picture finally he is so cute when he sticks his ears up. He is part German Shephard part Pit bull he is fabulous with the kids. He especially loves Issy, although Issy doesn't necessarily like it when he licks her but she loves to pet him. He knows all the commands and we can let him out in the front yard and he won't run away he just stays right by you. He is brindle color very pretty. The kids love him to death.
This is Issy and her little boyfriend Alex he lives next door, he is two months younger then Issy. They love to play together however this blue car is their favorite sometimes they share and sometimes they don't it just depends on the day. But they are hilarious to watch I have never seen 1yr olds play together like they do, although Issy does seem to be the bossy one but Alex is pretty easy going.
I finally got Issy to play in her sprinkle we bought her for her birthday at first she was really scared of it, but we got it out while all the other kids were gone to Yellowstone with Grandma and Grandpa Tomlin and she had a blast.

What a great July!!!

Well I decided it is time to update, sorry still no pictures hopefully Bryan will help me download them soon as I just took some really cute ones of Issybelle playing in the water outside. Well July has come and gone ok almost gone. We had a busy month. Between baseball for the boys and Softball for the girls and then try to fit in fun things to do with the kids without spending to much money or to much gas. But all in all we have had an ok summer so far, however I am very glad school will start in less then a month so I don't have to hear I'm bored there's nothing to do.Well Allyssa will be in 6th grade thats right everyone my baby girl is going to be twelve in 2 and1/2 months.She is excited for this her final year in Elementary school but can I just say enjoy them while they are young because oh how they do get attitudes. Mackey is going to be in 3rd grade he is very excited to get to learn cursive I think 3rd grade is going to be a challenge for him with all the different things they learn in that grade but I think he will enjoy it. He is very smart and was always in the top of his class last year. Timothy will be in the 2nd grade, I myself am kind of nervous for this , sometimes I think I should have held him back a year because he is the youngest in his class, but then all the rest of his friends would have been a year ahead of him in school so I don't know hopefully he will get a better teacher then he had last year. Then of course Issybelle she is fabulous she is 16 months old and is so smart, she walks all over and is into everything she is alot like Allyssa was at this age only she doesn't talk, why is that. It is because all she has to do is point and scream and she has at least 5 people at her beck and call I tell you she is a normal last child, SPOILED. Anyway she is a very happy baby as long as you give her what she wants. She also loves to read books, we can sit for hours and read books, the same books over and over again it is fun but really time consuming and I don't get much done around the house except for when she is asleep. Anyway that is pretty much all that has been going on with us. I hope everyone else is having a fabulous summer.
