She Did It!!

Well, I would have bet money that my sweet Ren wasn't going to be cheering with the rest of the girls on Friday night, but she surprised me. She actually went out there...poor Brittany is soooo sweet to have put up with her running around in circles, kicking dirt, and playing with the pom poms :) Serenity had a lot of fun and looked so cute.

Not too SURE!

This week has been a week of rushing and trying to catch our breaths. Serenity said she wanted to participate in this cheerleading clinic with our nephew's (the one we go watch play football every weekend) girlfriend. So practice was Monday and Wednesday night and then they will perform at the game tomorrow night. However, our sweet, but sassy Serenity will probably be watching the girls from the sideline. She says she wants to do it, but then she goes out there and looks like she is absolutely terrified...oh well...it was a donation to the cheerleaders. :) We have been practicing so we will see. We will just have to watch Isabella bust a move.

Where to begin...

I know everyone has felt like this one time or another...or feel this way all the time :) I have so many different "projects" going on I don't know where to begin. There are some that I am really excited about and want to do, but others take precident due to time constraints. I end up stressing about what to do and not doing any of them because I try to do a little something for everything...so TODAY it STOPS. I am making a list of everything I need/want to do and then prioritizing in order of importance/when it HAS to be done.
Here is my list in no particular order YET:

Bills/filing in order
Finish my book
Reunion meeting samples/examples/questions
Heartfelt Blessings - I am starting a Scrapbook Club (very excited what I really want to work on :)
Ren's b-day party reservations
Clean Van
Halloween Costumes (make sure I have everything)
Thank You's
Clean Garage (least favorite thing on the list)
Christmas Gift list
Take a Family Picture
Order Landen's pictures
Design Team Entry

Now the hard part...putting them in order of importance! Wish me luck!

Don't Go Mommy

Here are the kiddos blocking my way out the door the other day. Daddy was home in the morning so I tried to get some errands done with the little ones. It was too cute. Serenity started it and then Landen thought it looked like a good idea.

Dylan

Poor Dylan hurt his neck at the last football game. Doug and I stayed with him at the hospital until 2am and then took him home. His neck ended up being o.k., but we found out that he had broken his clavical while lifting weights a few weeks back. Poor Dylan...

Shhh....it's a SURPRISE!

I had the privledge of throwing a SURPRISE party for one of bestest friends in the whole wide world, MISTY! It was so much fun to plan and I think we all had a super FUN time. We did a photo scavenger hunt where everything had to do with things about MIsty...We had two teams. Example of one of the things we had to do: Each team member had to go to a store and wrap themselves in a towel and then take a picture with bubble bath. Then each team had to buy a bubble bath to give to Misty. Each team member had to be in the picture which meant you had to find some random person in the store to take a picture of your team. Misty loves to take baths. Then we got the pics developed in 1 hour photo while we had lunch at one of Misty's favorite resturants. Once we got back to the house each team member scrapbooked their pictures on 8 x 8 paper. I took a picture of Misty with each guest and then each guest got an 8 x 8 paper to decorate and write a message to Misty. By the end of the night Misty had an (almost) completed album of her 30th birthday! Misty is always doing things for others I thought it was time for her to enjoy people doing things for her!

FOOTBALL

We are definitely a family that LOVES football and our nephew Dylan (not in that order of course :) We travel 2 hours every Friday to watch Dylan play Varsity football for East Union in Manteca. We love hanging out in the stands with the other 20+ family members that come to support Dyl each week!

Ren's School Stuff

It has taken Ren a little while to warm up to the idea of school, but she is finally getting the hang of it. Here is a picture of her on pajama day and two of her projects that she has brought home!

Landen Turns TWO!

On Sept. 6 Landen-poo turned two and we just had our little family celebrate at Red Robin and at home! Since our nephew, Chase, was born three days after Landen we decided to do a joint party. It was a lot of fun...I think Landen and Chase had a great time!

It has been awhile...

Well my blogging has definitely taken a place on the back burner for a couple of months. To get you up to speed I am just going to post a couple of pics for each thing I want to share with a quick sentence or two :)
