i Don't know where to start?

Iv'e missed so much blogging for this summer its unreal!!! I don't know where to begin!! So I'll start with my latest pics. Halloween!!!!! I LOVE Halloween. It's tied for my favorite holiday with Christmas!! I try to get the best idea i can for costumes and this year the boys wanted to be Alvin and the Chipmonks. They loved their costumes and are still wearing them. It's funny how their personalities were just like each of the chipmonks they were dressed up as!!! Anyway it was a fun day of trick-or-treating. We got loads of candy and just as much attention, I wouldn't have it any other way!!!I

Jakob's Birthday

Jakob turned seven this year yes seven!!! I can't even believe how big he's getting!!! I really can't believe that I've been a mom for SEVEN years!!! Anyway his birthday was very fun! Jakob had two birthday parties for him(lucky dog) one for family and one for friends. Here is a pic of him opening up a present.

Thanks to Tara Rew we were able to have this huge blow up water slide in the back yard!!! It was obviously the main attraction. The boys went crazy!!

Jakob got a new water gun from one of his friends so they had a huge water gun fight. Jakob was very good at making sure that everyone had a turn with his new gun that squirted RED water.
I got some little kids crafts for the kids to do they thought it was pretty cool although it was kinda windy so all the little stickers kept flying away and i had to keep picking them up. It was worth it though.
They loved the cupcakes!!
We ended up haveing 12 kids 11 boys and one lonely little girl who had a blast anyway. It was crazy haveing soooo many kids but it was a lot of fun and Jakob loved it so that's all that mattered to me!!!

June

June was a very eventful month. My sister Tessa moved back for the summer, my baby sister Erikka or as I like to call her Lenard graduated and my little niece Kloee Belle got blessed not to mention Jakob's birthday which will be my next blog.



Most of these pictures were taken at the luncheon after the blessing. We had all the cousins together so we had to get a picture of all of them and i thought it would be a cute idea to get them all laying down, and well the one of Zakry just makes me smile!! Adorable!

Resolve to blog!

I just really love looking at everyone's blog and what they're up too and realized that everyone else prolly feels the same way. So I have resolved to be a better blogger and let everyone out there know what we're up too.

Sinco De Mayo

Sorry its late but we had so much fun I can't not post it. We have Sinco de Mayo every year with my family and every year gets a little bit better then the last. We had dinner with lots of delicious food, then did a pinata for the kids, and even though it started raining Aunt Lizzy still taught us all a dance. It was a good time. I have so many pictures i can't hardly narrow it down so I'll try to do just a few. Mikah triied winking at the camera for his picture with Grandma Jiggy. . . too cute!!!

My brother-in-law Darren had to show off his duds with his new fancy shoes.






All the kids couldn't wait to hit the pinata. The one of Jakob is my best shot of my three boys they got kinda blurry because they were moving so much.












Zakry being the little sugarbug that he is. . .couldn't get enough of the candy!!!

School Music Program

Jakob has to be the cutest kid in school!! He had his spring music program the other night and i was so excited he did so good!! I forgot to charge the camcorder so i had to settle for a couple clips on my camera. It"s really hard to see the kids but you can hear them pretty good! Jakob is the smallest first grader of all the classes and he knows how to use that to his advantage too!! The pictures are so bad because they had the stage so dark and he was too far away for a flash. I was a little disappointed but that's ok.

He sang 5 songs which was nice that they kept it short. I think his favorite song was Mr. Golden Sun. Oh sorry that the video is sideways I don't know how to flip it. I hope you enjoy the little video i wish I could show you all more .

Baby Kloee Belle!!

My little sister had her baby last week so I took the boys and went for a quick overnight trip to be there for her!! We left Wednesday afternoon so the boys slept on the way up (nice right?). We thought for sure she would have had the baby or was close when we got there but she didn't end up having her until like 1:30 am. Poor girl, my sister was a trooper that's a long time to be in labor!! It was nice although we didn't get to see her very much!! The boys just love Kloee and still ask when we're going to go see Tessa's new baby again. It was a fun trip and I'm glad I was able to go!! Here are some cute pictures of the boys proudly holding thier new cousin!!!!CHEESERS!

Spiderman mask

It was so funny!! This morning I was watching Mikah and Zakry play and Zakry did this so I made him do it again on camera it isn't as good but just as cute!!

Easter

Easter this year was fun even though it was raining. We started out the day before, Auntie Trishy came over to help me and the boys dye some Easter eggs. We were able to hold their attention for prolly half an hour before they were bored and wanted to play video games. We made 20 eggs between the five of us and 5 eggs were broken in the proses. We had a lot of fun. Zakry's hands were dyed blue, his color of choice!


















The next day we got the boys ready with their Easter clothes on an got busy doing other things. They decided it would be fun to go play in the garage. . .by the time we noticed (which wasn't very long) they had dirt all over their new dark blue church pants. Thank goodness it wasn't mud. We just brushed them off and thank goodness it wasn't as noticeable. After church we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Burch's house and Robs grandparents came from Prosser. The boys got a big Easter basket full of stuff and then we ate hamburgers and hotdogs. I of coarse made deviled eggs and potato salad. After lunch the boys looked for eggs and we rested a bit before going over to my grandpas for the next Easter egg hunt and for dinner. we got there in just enough time to hide the eggs. WOW is all I have to say, we got so much candy!! We had our annual scavenger hunt girls VS boys and the girls won. Jakob and Mikah loved the Easter eggs hunt the rain let up just enough to have it outside this time but Zakry was so tired we couldn't wake him up for anything!!! My mom got him a few eggs. All in all a very fun day.

My Birthday Present

I got a twisted pussy willow tree for my birthday which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. . .did i mention that i love it? Anyway I just got to get it in the ground about a week ago. I'm so excited it looks so good!! Anyway here's a couple of pictures of it.

Zakry

5 Things I love about Zakry

















1. I love Zakry's cheeks.
They are kinda chubby but oh so kissable!!

2. I love Zakry's sense of humor.
He can always make me or anyone around him laugh.

3. I love that Zakry potty trained himself.
I hate potty training to he'd prolly still be in diapers.

4. I love that Zakry will always tell me he loves me.
It's enough to just melt my heart.

5. I love that Zakry still lets me call him my baby.
He likes to act like it sometimes too:)

Zakry's Birthday

Since Zakry and Mikah's birthdays are only two days apart we usually have their birthday parties at the same time. I'm sure it won't always be this way but for now it seems to work out just fine. Zakry's birthday was on a Sunday so we didn't really do anything out of our regular Sunday routine. . .we did have Robbie's parents and siblings over that evening for a little party for the boys. Zakry loved all of his gifts, but he especially loves the Diego presents. He is totally into Diego actually he thinks he is Diego so he would get especially excited if what he saw was Diego clothes, movies, toys, it doesn't matter. I made him a small personal sized cake with a big Diego candle on top. It turned out really cute. . .and he thought it was awesome. I still can't believe it's been three years. I still treat him like he's my baby (although I should prolly stop!!) i just can't help myself he's just still so small. He weighs 23 Lbs and just tiny. He's adorable. I think all in all he was happy with his birthday. Mikah and Zakry really do love each other a lot and are truly excited to be able to share their birthdays together. They really are good boys if not very curious and a bit rowdy. . .but then they wouldn't be boys would they?
