Talk about growing up fast....

It's Never Too Early To Go To The Magic Kingdom

This is a picture from December 2012 of the kids in the back of a bus (Disney transportation) at 6am on the way to the Magic Kingdom! Look at their faces - it's never too early to go to the Magic Kingdom!

It Tasted Better Than It Looked

I made animal shaped waffles for the kids the other day. They wanted pink sprinkles on the waffles...Hey, I did my best!

100 Days Already?

Last week the kids had their 100th day of school. They love it because it means the school year is more than half over. I dread it because it means I need to seriously get my taxes done.

Since I won a small business, I always wind up paying in - never get any money back. So, I'm always looking for ways to save the business money. Right now I really want business cards so I've been looking into zooprinting.com for trade printing, sounds like a great idea! Anyone ever try this?

Speaking of Baby Dolls

Olivia will be 10 years old next month but she is not too old to play with dolls. I love that she loves to play with her baby dolls :)

Boys and Baby Dolls

Who says boys shouldn't play with baby dolls? My boys love their Cabbage Patch Kids! The take them just about everywhere they go.

Making Their Own Breakfast

Yep, they're growing up too fast. Making their own breakfast :(

Olivia is making eggs and Dante was making a Nutella sandwich, LOL :)

And She Still Wants a Pony

Olivia is very much in love with horses, although she has only ridden one once. She reads books on horses and draws pictures of horses. Of course she wants a horse, she has for years now. I guess that’s a common dream for most little girls. it all started when she rode one at her friend's birthday party.

I’ve tried to explain to her that horses take lots of work and they are expensive, especially if you have to board them, which we would since we don’t have the room to have one here and her dad can’t have one where he lives. Even clothes that are needed can be very expensive. Although, I did find equestrian clothing at TheEquestrianCorner.com for decent prices.

I wanted a horse when I was a little girl too

More Spongebob!

My youngest, Wyatt, just LOVES Spongebob. In fact, I know we will definitely need to make a trip to Universal this year just so he can meet Spongebob.

My friend Diane, made Wyatt this Spongebob scarf - he absolutely loves it!

Making Crayons

CJ and I got the kids this crayon maker for Yule. I was out the one evening, doing some lat minute shopping and when I got home I saw him helping the boys make crayons :)

Last Kid Birthday for the Year

Well, all kid birthdays are out of the way. Wyatt turned 6 on November 11th. I wanted to add sparklers to Wyatt's "Spongebob overload" cake. LOL!!!

Now it's time to think about Yule. I miss having babies to buy for. I ave a friend who recently had a baby and I did help her look through baby baptism gowns until she found the perfect one, but that just wasn't the same. I kinda wanna another baby...

My Do-Little is 7

Dante turned 7 on September 19th and we said Happy Birthday all week :) Long gone are the days of newborn baby gifts, now he gets 'big boy' gifts, like learning laptops, art supplies, and board games.

Time is just racing by. They really do grow up so fast. It is so important to really cherish our children and make every day special.

Disneyland Game

Going through Disney withdraw - this Disneyland game on Xbox Kinect helps the kids deal until we get to Walt Disney World again, which is October 6th of this year!

Waiting for Livi

Dante and Wyatt, waiting for Olivia to come home. I can't wait to see how this is when they are all teenagers, LOL!

Keeping Heirlooms

Do you keep family heirlooms? Things like baby's baptism gown or a special outfit to pass down through generations? My oldest son, Dante, had a special blanket he had to sleep with each night. He only recently stopped sleeping with it, but of course I have it stored away in a safe place :)

And well, look at him now, almost 7 years old!

My Wy-Guy

This is one of my favorite pictures of Wyatt. It was taken October 15, 2011 at one of the football games Livi cheered at - he is wearing her sweatshirt :)

Horseback Riding

Aw, this is an old picture of Olivia - she must have been about 4 or 5 here, at her friend Mayzi's birthday party :)

How He Sees Himself

Dante drew this picture of himself with sidewalk chalk. Interesting to see how he sees himself :)

Ahh, the Playground

The playground - the one place where all 3 kids seem to be able to magically play together and not argue or fight! It truly is amazing...

Never Too Young for a Pedicure!

Olivia LOVES getting pedicures. I think she loves pedicures more than manicures. I am just waiting to hear the nay sayers about how she is too young...I disagree! (obviously)
