Friday Night Lights Out!

It's the first day of our 3 day weekend, and Their dropping like fly's around here. Lively Friday !
Well I guess being four is just exhausting, Morgan crashed hard today, she started laying on the
couch, then she was just bending over the couch, and finally like this, I think it's so cute when they are so pooped out that they just zonk. I guess we had better come up with some Labor Day weekend plans, we're loosing the crowd fast, an it's only day 1.

IT'S A GOOD THING WE WERE DRESSED FOR IT!

We had a swimming day with Bonnie and the kids on Sunday.

We had a picnic on her back lawn, where the kids we're really enjoying a swim. Although we kept getting interrupted by the monsoon down pour. It's a good thing the picnic tables had umbrella's or we would have been really wet. The weather man forgot to mention the rain.

It was so funny that it would pour and then sun and then it would pour and then sun. The kids were definitely dressed for all the water.

Another 1st, Let's See Your Pearly Whites!

Parker lost her first tooth. How exciting, she is really playing with my emotions this week. She shouldn't be growing up all in one week..
She was so excited to lose it. We made tooth boxes , so that she could put her tooth in , and leave it on her end table . The tooth fairy complained to her friends mom about the difficulty of digging under their pillows without waking them up. So we wanted to make it easy for the tooth fairy. The tooth fairy left $2 in her tooth box last night. Whats the going rate? She was so happy to wake up and check.
Madison and Morgan wanted to show their pearly whites too. They thought it was cool to see sister lose a tooth, now you can imagine that Mad and Moe think every tooth in their mouth is lose and want me to check.

1st Grade and First Decade, Alot of 1st's Today

August 22,2007 ,This is the morning when you go from having 3 little girls to 2 little girls and a BIG girl. I woke her up today, hoping she wouldn't want to go, or maybe just that I wouldn't have to send her. She was so brave and showed no fear, but I'm not sure she had any fears. I was so proud of her today, while other parents were peeling their kids arms from around their waists and thinking they might be spending the morning in the hall. Parker sat down and said bye I love you. I hated leaving her there, but was proud that she wanted me to leave. Happy first day of school BIG GIRL! I LOVE YOU!!
I couldn't end this post without including a picture of one of the infamous backpacks (from previous post) . She did end up having a wonderful first day, and did the whole school lunch thing she loved it. She said she was a little disappointed because she thought "I would have options and that they wouldn't just throw things on my tray". How grown up is that, I love that she is getting big, but does anyone else think it happened really fast?

10 Wonderful Years

August 22,1997 that was our day, and today we visited the Little America to remember it all. I can't believe it was 10 years ago today. we have had ups and downs, but we are still here together, and I love that we are.
We decided to eat in the Dining Room, because 10 years was worth splurging, this is my husband feeling the the decision in his wallet.
This is our expensive appetizer, but Like I said it was worth the splurge our first decade is a big deal. I told him , "just wait until the 15 year".
10 Years ago today, We stood in front of these same mirrors exchanging vows, and here we are coming back exactly 10 years down to the hour taking this picture and talking about all that we've been through, We both have regrets about decisions we've made but never the one we made that day. I love my husband and he loves me. Happy Anniversary! I am excited to see what the next 10 years bring.

They're Not Babies Anymore

Well this is it, the week my girls will all be in school. Parker starts school on Wednesday and the Twins have their pre-school open house on Tuesday. WHAT!!! I Know! We spent Sunday Backpack shopping. 4 Stores, Parker insisted on a High School Musical back pack. I figured that would be easy enough, Nope! Almost every store was sold out of any themes, or characters. Hello! a First grader and 2 pre-schoolers need bags. So we Shopped and Shopped and Shopped some more. Thank Heaven For Payless Shoes, I got all 3 in one store. 1 high school musical, and a pink and denim Dora, and a purple and pink Dora. Thanks Payless. I will post pics as soon as i take them. I have too soak my blistered feet first.. No Really ! I am glad they were all pleased though and I'm excited for them to go. I know a week into it I will regret saying all this because dropping 3 kids off at 2 schools all within the same 20 minutes as my commute to work , will really bite me on the behind I just Know it, and not to mention getting 4 girls ready in the morning. Yikes! I will surely keep you posted. Well wish all four of us Luck!!

Why DO I Blog?

I am very Proud of my husband and Girls. I love to show them off. We also have alot of Family out of town, that miss out on the simple things we do daily, and I want to bring them the little joys we get every day with our little cuties. I love sharing our lives with everyone, and it helps people to get to know us. It is a form of scrapbooking which I also enjoy. I like having an outlet to share my thoughts and most precious moments. Love Love Love Blogging..

Camping Stawberry Bay with The Wardles

We spent the weekend of August 10th, At Strawberry reservoir. We were up there with our friends the Wardles,it was so much fun. We went out on the pontoon, shore fished and camped it was hot all day and cold all night. We had a great time with Ben, Bonnie, and the kids. Thanks for hanging out with us guys. Justin did some craw fishing with the kids. It was so exciting to Parker she even wanted Dad to cook them up, EEW! She is more brave than Mom, she ate them up and liked them.
That would be me enjoying the cool breeze in my hair, while enjoying a cruise around the lake. How Fun, and what a bathing beauty. I had just changed out of my string bikini, I'll post that picture next time.
Parker is such a fish when it comes to water we couldn't keep her out of it the whole weekend. She LOVED everything about the trip. Dad helped her real in a Trout while trolling on the lake, they swam in the water just deep enough that she couldn't reach and then the crawfish. EEW! did I say that already. She truly loved Strawberry, I think she has a new favorite place.
BonVoyage Parkers first trip on a boat, all the girls loved it. Mom was nervous but they were having a great time.


Madison loved fishing. She looks like she takes it almost as serious as Dad. She didn't get a bite but not from lack of trying. She didn't mind though she still had so much fun using her Barbie fishing pole.
Morgan spent alot of time fishing too, but she also liked chasing butterflys and nature walking. She brought me a zillion flowers. How Cute.
Boys will be Boys. They decided to try sling shotting the bait and sinker to see if they could get it out farther. Maybe that will increase their chances. Or maybe not... It really was a great weekend with alot of laughs and alot of good times.

Vario Family reunion July 28th

Morgan with Cowboy Grandpa, It's a good time spending time with the family. We camped in the Vario Park up Ophir Canyon.
Morgan had a rough weekend, she was stung by a bee. She was hit in the head with a stray rock and she walked head first into the tailgate of the truck. she was a trooper though. Nothing gets in the way of their fun while camping.
Madison is an explorer she wants to see everything, but still won't wander to far away from Mom or Morgan.
Me, Cowboy Grandma and Uncle Grizz doing a little karaoke , We were quite the Trio. You can believe that.
Parker is our little socializer she always makes friends, and is sure to include sissy's in the fun. The kids were busy, busy, busy playing the whole weekend. I love spending time with all the Eyre's and the Vario's it is not that often we all get together. We sure enjoyed ourselves.
