Our Family...

I decided that I would post a few pictures of the last few weeks to keep you all up to date on us since we never get to see anyone anymore!

Papa came to visit for a night on his way to AZ.  Amaia didnt really know what to think of him, but at least she let him play with her!  I am pretty sure this was the first time Papa met her. :)  It was a short visit, but the kids loved having him here and so did we!

I just realized Papa was on his phone is this picture..lol  

 Logan got to go to his very first Cub Scout Day camp.  He LOVED it.  He was gone friday and saturday from 8:30-4 but I am sure he could have gone all week on those hours.  They even gave him his very own pocket knife and taught him how to widdle. :)

 We were also able to put Logan in basketball a few months ago, This picture was at his last game, and only half of his team was there for a picture...but at least I got one!

 Rai and her teacher Mrs Cvetic.  Railynn absolutely loved her....I think it is going to be a hard transition going into 1st grade especially with out her teacher!

I tried to get a video of Amaia trying to walk...this was about as good as it gets!  At least you can see how fast she is growing!  ( Notice I am desperately trying to stay out of the video shot...lol)

Love you all!

Getting ready for Madagascar 3!!

I am so fun!!  We are getting really excited for the new Madagascar movie...We loved the first movie, we thought the second one was even better, and now that the 3rd is coming out, I bet it will be the BEST!  We had a Madagascar themed party with the kids and some of their friends last night, and it was really fun.  I know you all wish you could have come!  Too bad most of you live in AZ, or I would have invited you all. :) 

These are the Marty from Madagascar Zebra cakes.

                                                     Who doesnt Love Circus Peanuts?  Well....apparently everyone at the       party but me.  It was the thought that counted!  It went with the theme. :)

 Circus animal crackers...

 Circus cups....My kids LOVED these.  I was pretty excited when I found them.

 The kids coloring their Alex the Lion masks....

 This was soooo good.  Chex with chocolate and peanut butter.  The picture doesnt do it justice because it was Delicious!

We even had a Madagascar 3 Wii game for the kids to play.

 Playing the Wii....

 Some of the colored masks...

 Amaia found someones plate and was picking any remains of the chex mix off of it.  :)

 The coloring books...

 ok...look how fun this is!  I kind of look like I have some major clown wig sideburns.....

We had so much fun playing games, coloring, playing the wii, and eating circus food!  Now that you all see how fun our parties are...maybe I can talk some of you into a New Mexico visit?  I promise to have a really fun party when you are here. :)

Swimming time!

ok...so I just joined this site called Crowdtap that lets me try out new products for FREE!  woohoo!  I just recently got into a sample and share where I got an Old Navy Swim suit for free!  The only rule was that the swimsuit could not be on clearance.  Ummm...That is one rule that I am definately ok with!  haha.  I havnt bought a swimsuit for myself since I was pregnant with Jocy, and I am pretty sure that a maternity swimsuit doesnt count.  Before that, I last bought a swim suit from Old Navy when I was 17.  I have been known to go swimming in a tanktop, and Zachs old workout shorts.  I was in definate need of some new swim gear so you can imagine my excitement!

 I don't like to go shopping with my kids, but since Zach is pretty much non existant these days, I kind of had to get over that.  Luckily, shopping for a free suit kept me happy enough that I wasn't in a bad mood when I left!  :)

I wish Amaia was looking at the camera in this picture.  She looked so cute in that hat!

                                  Rai's find...super cute, too bad we werent shopping for them!  :)

 Jocy LOVED these shoes.  I only post a picture of them to show just how fun my kids really are when shopping. ;)  When I finally got her to take them off her feet, she threw her Jocy tantrum and I noticed she already took it upon herself to take the tags off.  nice.

 My friend Danielle came shopping with me and I gave her my other coupon so she could get a free suit too!

Notice Jocy running around in the back ground of this picture.  She is such a cute girl, just a difficult one to shop with!

Just in case you didnt believe me...here is my swimsuit from 14 years ago! Notice the Old Navy tag on the bottoms. :)

Getting ready to swim.....

 Here is my new swimsuit from Old Navy!  I LOVE it!  Dont mind the handprints on the glass in the picture...I swear I clean them a million times a week, but with a baby in the house, they pretty much have hand prints on them all the time. :)

Maia. :)

Since I live soooo far away from all my family, I decided to start blogging again so I can keep you all up to date on the happenings with us!  I don't remember if I emailed this video to any of you, but here it is again!  Amaia must have been in a really funny mood when we took this video, because I can make cry faces all day long now and she doesn't care at all.  :)
