Birthday, Baptism and Happy 4th!

Ok so I just had to put a picture of the birthday cake I got for my birthday. I know you are looking at it thinking what is so special about this cake, well even after I told the lady at the bakery how to spell my name she still got it wrong. It went like this
Me: Can you put Happy Birthday Nena on here, N E N A.
Her: Oh sure no problem.
I guess it doesn't matter I will always have to spell my name to people. :)

This is a picture of the Coolest Megan's!!! Our good friend Megan got baptized today and of course the kids went swimming while the adults visited. Always a good time........


So my day didn't start out that great, I was rinsing my contacts and one of my contacts broke :( boo who boo who. Yes I did cry, a lot!!!! So I am having to wear my sister Megan's glasses, why her glasses and not mine? Well mine don't work, I picked them out all by myself 10 years ago when my eyes were dilated. I don't recommend ever doing that. Megan's eyes are almost as bad as mine so they kind of work. I haven't worn glasses for a long time so it is very weird for me.
I have had a headache all day and I am going to have to wear glasses for a while until I can make it to the eye doctors. And to top off all my excitement I don't have insurance, ugh!!!!!
But I did take my girls to the fireworks at Aliante Stations. They were really worried that I couldn't see to drive. I kept telling them I was fine to see. I guess it is good to have kids that are so worried about me. They had fun trying to take pictures of the fireworks. We got a couple good ones. Hopefully Tate had fun in Utah watching fireworks without me.

Look at me!!

Tate can ride his bike without the training wheels!!! He was so proud of himself. He just got on it and took off. It is really fun watching the kids learn new things and to be so excited about it!!!
Good job buddy:)

Happy #7 Birthday Sadie

Happy #7 Birthday Sadie on June 2nd! So I am a little late posting this. We have been busy and I just don't always have time to sit down and update on the computer like I would like to.


The best part about living in Vegas is that we can swim earlier in the year! So of course Sadie had a swim party with her friends the Saturday before her Birthday.

Then we went out to eat at Mimi's Cafe. Sadie loves to eat and will try most things, she isn't too picky of an eater. She had the ribs and mashed potatoes.


So Coleman's birthday is on June 1st and this year since the kids were on track break from school we decided to go see our cousins. Sadie and Coleman were lucky to share a birthday this year. We went to Coleman's Grandparents house and the kids swam and had a BBQ and cake and ice cream.


Then on Sadie's actual birthday Aunt Amy made her famous pancakes for Sadie!

Sadie got a big bouquet of balloons from her dad and a toypedo for the pool, nail polish and jewelery from Amy and her kids, and new clothes from mom.

And here is my little princess, we took the kids to the Thanksgiving point children's garden to let them play. Sadie said this was the best day ever!!! Love you Sadie!






Ok so after the kids played in the water then we walked through the gardens and of course we have a bunch of goofs and they love having their pictures taken. They were all really cute! The boys thought it was cool to take their shirts off, can you say blackmail pictures!!!!!





We even made it up to see the other cousins! They all get along so well and are all so cute. It was a fun trip to Utah and a fun birthday for Sadie!

Preschool Graduation

So my baby graduated from Preschool!!! Probably by the skin of his teeth, hehe. He is such a funny boy. he learned to write his name and can count to 10 in spanish. He also knows his ABC's and 123's. He did love Mrs. Tanya though.....

Mrs. Tanya told a little something about each little kid and the thing she said about Tate was that he was the only kid that wanted to know when Preschool was over and that he wanted his mom to come and get him. He is such a momma's boy.

Congratulations Tate!!! Let's hope you always can do well in school...... Oh wait we will have one more year of preschool before going to Kindergarten. Yeah?!?!?!?!?

First Lost Tooth!

Sadie lost her first tooth, finally. She has been asking me forever when she was going to loose a tooth and I just told her to be patient. So when I was at work she called me and told me she had a loose tooth, and then 2 hours later she called me back and told me it had come out. Talk about fast tooth loosing!!



still such a cute smile:)

April Fool's Day Dinner

My friend Melissa is really good at doing fun things for her kids and I always wish I would have come up with it when it mattered. So on April Fools Day Melissa suggested we do a fun dinner for the kids. So we made these pink and blue "cupcakes" and "grilled cheese" sandwiches. Hehe!!

Ok so the grilled cheese sandwiches were really angel food cake that we toasted and colored frosting to look like melted cheese in the middle.

And the cupcakes are shepherd's pie in cupcake foil with colored mashed potatoes on top.

Of course the kids bit into it and were surprised it wasn't what they were expecting!!! I loved it. Thanks Melissa for being so fun and creative:)

Today!

It has been awhile since I updated my blog so I thought I would put a picture of what my kids look like this morning before school. So cute!!!!!!

And what would a picture be without a silly face!!!!
