Mr. Snowman!

We couldnt beleive our eyes when we woke up Tuesday morning, our entire yard was covered in snow. We were able to make our first snowman ever. The kids were pretty excited.






Our New Puppy!

This is our new Dog, "Bella". She is a 7 week old Lhatese (Lhasa Apso/Maltese)
Luke and Seth absolutely love her.



Christmas Pictures!

I tried to take pictures but Seth kept climbing off the chair. I had to give him a candy cane to keep him still this was the best one I got.

Halloween Costumes!

Luke is,
Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue! To Infinity, And Beyond!

Sefers is,
A Doggy!

Poor Sefers I just got his costume last minute because we couldn't find the right costume in the right size, so he ended up with this. I origionally wanted him to be Raggedy Andy and Jocelyn Raggedy Ann but no where even on the internet could I find the Andy costume in His size they all had Jocelyns size but the boys was a couple sizes to big. After that I found the cutest skunk costume but it was a size too small. After all that I gave up and just decided to find his size in whatever I could get.



Carving Pumpkins!!!

Yes, Im Still Alive!

My sister Liza called me a couple weeks ago and asked if I was still alive because I havn't updated my blog in a long time and that is just not like me. I have been really busy lately though with 4 yes I said 4 kids. We had a new addition come in to our family the last of September through foster care. A 10 year old Girl named Madison. So as you can imagine between taking her to school in a different city than we live, taking Luke to school Tuesdays & Thursdays, Jocelyns visits, picking kids up from school and visits, helping kids with homework/2 reports, keeping up with the extra laundry we've recently aquired, keeping things tidy, Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner, Baths, and bed time. I have just been too tired to even think about Blogging. I don't even know why Im updating this right now with evrything I have to do today. Anyway, here are a few updated pictures we've taken in the past few weeks.

Bumbles!


This is the watch that I got from Amy's party on the 9th. I love it. I know the pictures not very good but it looks really nice in person.

The Boys At The Park.

We all decided to take a walk to the park and instead of stopping at the play set and letting the kids play like we always do we decided to keep walking and follow the little trail that runs through the park. It was actually pretty nice we all had fun.

A Day At The Pool!

Luke was finally not afraid to actually get his whole body in the water.





He loved it so much we had a hard time getting him out to go.

My New Hair Cut!!!

I dont know what came over me but I woke up super early for no reason at all I was just up at 6:30 in the morning lying in bed thinking and then all of a sudden I think to myself, "Hmm, Im going to cut my hair today." So with that I got out of bed, got in the shower, got out, combed through my hair and cut 81/2 inches off. (What was I thinking?) Just kidding. I love it. I needed a change. The funny thing is Mark doesn't even know yet because He had already left for work. I'll have to do another post telling about his reaction. I took these pictures myself so they aren't the best shots It was kind of hard trying to take the pictures of the back of my hair. Oh well, I'll have Mark take more when He gets home.



The LA County Fair!

Last week we had the opportunity to stay in California for a week. It was so much fun. We went to the fair alot which I was so happy to be back. We missed it last year we couldn't make it down and I was so sad because I hadn't missed the L.A. County Fair ever since I was little. My Mom has always worked there since I can remember so we always had tickets to get in and free Ice cream. I felt like I was at home being at the fair. We all had so much fun. I loved being with and spending time with my sisters and my Mom and Dad.Luke, Mark, Caleb Seth, Luke, and Jocelyn all loved Hot Dog on a stick.


Rides Rides Rides

Luke and Caleb loved going on all the rides! They had so much fun together!Papa took Luke on the Giant Slide. I think that was Lukes favorite. He wanted to go on it over and over!
The bouncing cars.
Airplanes.
Dragon Roller Coaster!
