To protect and serve!!!

On Oct. 29, 2009 my little brother Travis graduated from Basic Training and is now a Tucson Police Officer. I am so proud of both my brothers. They put their lives on the line every day to protect people. They are my HERO’S!!!!

HALLOWEEN!!

We go to my sister Shannon’s neighborhood every year to trick or treat. We meet my family there and the girls get to spend time with their cousins. This year my sister Stephanie had surgery so she wasn’t there but we where able to take her kids. This was the first year with my brother Travis’s kids. He just moved down from Phx. We did miss my brother Brian’s kids. It was so much fun!!! I love watching the kids run and go crazy!! I love that my girls are so close to my family. All the little girls are “best friends”.

Jynna is a Yellow Belt!!!!

I am falling way behind on picture posting!!! Sorry guys… Here they are. On Oct. 16th Jynna advanced to the Yellow Belt class… We are so proud of her hard work and dedication... She truly loves the sport and works really hard in class!!! GOOD JOB JYNNA!!!

Zoo Day!!!!

I bought a family pass to the Reidpark Zoo last month and took the girls. Aliya really wanted to take a friend so I called Shannon and we took Courtney with us. They have a grass area to play and a little water play yard now. We had a great time. We have decided to go twice a month!! I thought I would share some of the pictures with you!!!!

Aliya's actual Birthday...

She took all of the Littlest Pets she got for gifts and made them a home in her wood doll house. I don't think the barbies will ever gain access to it again... She chose cinnamon rolls and lasagna for dinner..

Aliya turned 5!!!!!

Aliya had a Littlest Pet Shop Party!! We had a great time.. She invited her class from school. We also had alot of family. (Thanks to my awesome sisters and sister in law for all thier help) We had a BBQ with all the fixings. We had goldfish, dog bone cookies and hot dogs. All of which are a animals dream food. We had the kids decorate their own kitty dish to eat the cake and ice cream out of.. The kids played lilly pad hop (musical chairs only on little pads), dog trainer says (simon says), and we painted their faces to be there favorite pet. The kids also got to adopt their own littlest pet. I had about 12 different littlest pets for them to choose from. My sister Shannon was the Judge. We made adoption certificates so they could name them. She made them raise their hand and promise to love and feed them. It was sooo much fun. When the adoption was done the kids made and colored their own crates to carry their pet home in. Aliya had a ball and talked about it for over a week. I LOVE planning parties!!!
