HaPPy BiRtHDaY AlaYDa!

The day started out at 12pm when I took Alayda to get her nails and toes painted. We then went to lunch( Winerschintzel) one of her favorite's. It was fun to go with just her and I (though we did miss daddy being apart of the celebration). Picked up her two favorite girly girl's and headed for Build a bear. We have never been there before and I still can't believe that they have a store like that. It was crazy! The girls had a lot of fun. We then met up with the rest of the family and our close friend's (the Young's) at Boondocks. Oh, my heck the kids had a blast! It was fun to see them having so much fun. Now, I have to admit that we NORMALLY do not celebrate birthday's like this. We ALL have our birthdays in a 3 month period. So, we have chosen as a family to celebrate every other year taking a big trip as a family for our birthdays and the other year with friends. So, when Alayda told us that is what she wanted to do...I did not think much of it. Until we were at boondocks and realized this was a 9 hour celebration! Oh, well you can be QUEEN for one day out of the year!?Right?!

Let the bear making begin...hmm


Gracie always had a smile ready, obliviously she is use to the camera!:)

This is the end of the night. Almost 7 hrs later! Is this not a great picture of Cole?!

HaPpY BiRThDaY to YoU!
Daddy and lady... Alayda on her "roller coaster ride".
Eva and Alayda loved this ride. This is their second time doing this! They wanted to go again but, we had to stop them...they were complete "die hard's". The party ended at 9pm!

A DAY AT THE DESERT

My boys! It was such a beautiful day to go and recreate! We jumped up early on Saturday morning packed a few things up and went on our way. It was so much fun. It is the perfect time to go it's not to hot and you still have some grass in the "desert". We picked a perfect spot to go...
Our lady...
Our little family in the desert...looks like a "real desert" huh?
" big guy on a little bike"...those who watch snl will know what I'm talking about!
so dang cute! so young, so free...
Our little ones... beautiful Saturday morning...








SPOILED? Yes!

So, I had to take a picture of this...My sweet husband did this for me the night before my birthday. He had the candles lit and soft classical music playing. He knows how much I love MY alone time! He bought me some great decorating/design books to read.It was so lovily!!

Happy Birthday NYCOLE!!!!!!

Kids Glasses?
Nycole and Wayne Dyer [made me take this picture down, sorry]


Are you going to eat that?

Gangsta [ made me take it down...this one was good too]


"Happy Birthday to ma ma", as I heard it this morning from Cole, Alayda, and Meryn... What a wonderful mother they have. She always, always, always has a clean house not only clean but sanitized (she uses this steam machine on everything two times a day). I like to tease her by saying she has OCD therefore I need to test her by leaving my cereal bowl, cloths, keys, and various other things out just to see if she will pick it up(my excuse to be lazy)! Nycole is special to us to because she has the patience and stamina to care for 5 little ones and me too! She is always spending one on one with the kids reading, dance, baseball, school, homework, walks, park time, and she has still has time for her church calling and being my personal secretary! Wow I'm getting tired from just talking about all that she does. Luckily she has me to help her with all that stuff! If you notice there are no pictures of Nycole on her blog! I get mad at her cause she always posts the ugliest pictures of me... you know pictures of me sleeping, or in my G's half dead, postings of my teeth and all kinds of weird stuff! So here is Nyc at her finest! Don't get mad at me Nyc I just think your cute all the time! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Bryce!

Ahh...such a beautiful smile! Happy Birthday Booa, boo, Howie, Howa, love, lover, babe and baby. How many names can I have for this handsome wonderful man? A lot. He turns 35 and amazingly he is still alive! I want to gloat on him for a minute...Bryce would do anything for anyone and he is always trying to help others. He is a source of knowledge and has a huge heart. He is an excellent husband and a wonderful father. He ALWAYS wants to be with the children and I am always making him take me out on a date!:) He can do anything and if he can't he will read about how to do something and get it done. He is a mover. He is my energizer bunny. He keeps going and going. I am grateful to have Bryce in my life. He is a great example to me. I love you Booa!(please don't hate me for going off on you!)
He is a NATURAL leader...he always leads the way. (thanks Booa!)
He teaches the kids young...He is an EXCELLENT rider. Too scary for me to see...especially when he gets together with his brother!
Ahh...this is his little "mini me". Alayda is a daddy's girl. She is the first to wake up and say good morning to daddy, to hug and kiss him, to scratch his back, to bring him treats, to stay up until 12am and talk to him!(she wakes up to come and sleep with us in the middle of the night). She is always glad to see him.
Bryce loves the "outdoors". This is where he is free and belongs. ( I love this picture of him doesn't he look handsome?!!)
Those who KNOW Bryce knows that this is what he does in his spare time. Always researching and reading a book on line.
Bryce ALWAYS has helping hands...

Bryce and Cole out shooting. Being the great father that he is!
