Seeing Santa

Each Christmas we go to our local mall, (the closest one is an hour away), and see Santa. Our kids have decided that this Santa is the one and only true Santa....

"all the other ones are Fake!"

We love to go and see him each year, give him our letters and make another memory.

Sirena did really well with him because she saw how her brother and sister love him.

We can't wait for Christmas!

Family Days at Borax

SEE HOW HUGE!?!?! This truck can crush a Ford F-350!

The kids can sit between the teeth and still have room!

Scoop us up Tyler. We are only a fraction of what fits in one scoop!

Sirena Driving Daddy's Loader

Alaina & Milloy playing with the walk-e-talkie. In the cab of a Haul Truck.

A little Rock Climbing FUN!

To give you an idea of how HUGE this equipment is that Tyler drives.

There are two ladders you have to take to get up to the cab. For the day, Borax put up scaffolding to help get everyone up and down...2 flights of stairs.

"Don't crush ME!"

This is the tires on a haul truck.

A haul truck holds 240 tons of dirt

Borax/Rio Tinto has been doing all they can since the Lock Out to make up for what they have done, (basically trying to make themselves look good!) By doing so, they had Family Days....the first in about 15+ years. We decided to go so the kids could see Daddy's work and see the trucks Daddy drives.

BUSTED!

Sirena snuck off with a pencil while Alaina and Milloy were doing their homework.

She went in to their bedroom and decided to "color".

Showing Mom, Alaina and Milloy her art work.

...and BUSTED!

She won't be doing this again!

Number 4 and School Pictures

So this is Guppy Number 4

My official due date is June 5, 2011...Sirena's Birthday. She will be 2 that day.

I always go 2-9 days late, so we won't have a double birthday. Every thing looks great with the baby. It is so wonderful to get to see that little heart beating...

that is one thing that never gets old.

Milloy's Kindergarten Picture.

Don't you just love school pictures. I think they make sure your kid looks like a

dork so that you won't feel bad about your own school pictures!

Alaina's 1st grade picture.

I mean REALLY??? Is this the best they could do with her?

Number 4

I was going to wait until my appointment on the 26th to post this, but almost everyone knows anyway!
So here it is.....I am preggers with our Number 4! Morning Sickness has made it's NASTY way into my home and it STINKS! I was looking back (2 Years ago) on the blog I posted in October of 2008 about Morning Sickness and re-read what I put. It's just the same. I tried to copy and paste what I had, but Blogger wouldn't let me.
I am due exactly the same time I was with Sirena....actually 2 days apart, but close enough! I was due with Sirena on June 2, 2009. I had her in June 5, 2009. I am due with this one on June 4, 2011 and will have the baby anywhere between 2-9 days after that! That's my pattern.
This will most likely, be our last. If you really ask me right now, (as I am trying to choke down some Oatmeal after barfing up toast), I will tell you that I AM DONE! THIS IS THE LAST ONE!
But I don't want to look like a liar later....so don't quote me...but I think this is the last guppy.
I will post the Ultra Sound Picture after my appointment on the 26th.

Milloy's Soccer Pic

Milloy began playing soccer this year. Because his birthday is after August 1, he had to wait an extra year. The good thing is that we kept Alaina out so that they would be able to play together. I was hoping they would be on the same team, but no! It goes by age only. That's OK, because he loves having his own team and "getting crazy!"

At his game a couple weeks ago he scored 5 goals!

It was so fun to see his excitement and pride.

He is turning out to be quite the sport boy.

Tyler and I are enjoying see him blossom and learn sportsmanship skills. It's amazing what your child learns from organized sports. This is one thing we couldn't teach him at home.

I'll try to post pictures of him in the game. We would have some but I am SO busy when I get to the fields putting up banners for my kids teams &

making sure Sirena doesn't run on to the field, that I miss a lot.

*Alaina's team has not taken pictures yet, but when they do I'll post them.

Milloy's 5th Birthday

Milloy chose to go to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday dinner.

CHUCK EEEEeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sirena didn't touch her own birthday cake, but she was all over Milloy's.

Milloy's yummy cake!

Milloy's new Spiderman Bike.

We found this bike at Wal Mart for a sweet deal. It was returned after being ridden once and was too big for the child. We scooped it up (about 5 months ago) and saved it for Milloy's birthday. We hid it in the shed.

This was his face after opening his eyes.

He wanted "everything Spiderman".

I made Spiderman Cupcakes for his Kindergarten class and had Spiderman plates, napkins...the whole get up. He was STOKED!

Back to School!

The smiles say it all!

Kindergarten Boy!

First Grader!

Fun Weather

Milloy let me put a towel on his head and wrap his bottom like Daddy.

HA HA HA! Talk about a stud!
Sirena is REALLY into drawing and coloring. She is really into trying to do everything her brother and sister do. It is SO funny!

Sirena's first trip to see the horses. We have neighbors that live on the next street, (south of us), who have 4 acres and rescue horses from the wild fires and such. The always have about 10 horses, but after the fires in San Diego/ Riverside area and the Station Fire, they had about 15! They are so nice to let us come and feed and pet them. The one with the brown and white is Cheyenne...like Aunt Cheyenne!

Rain Drinkers

Can you see the huge drops?

Talk about a Sunset! Over the Tehachapi Mountains.

Usually in July we have some fun thunder and lightening in the Desert. It's not fun to be sticky and muggy, but when the show starts, it's loads of FUN! This is what the kids did with the Crazy weather. It came on all of a sudden. I was out getting the mail at 5pm. Nothing was happening when I walked to the box, but as soon as I turned to cross the street to go back to the house, the wind picked up so fast that I had to run in the house. The clouds came in and the lightening and thunder came and then the rain...Big huge drops...SO FUN!
This was the second week of July.

Funny Kids

So Milloy is really into swimming and doing funny things...like playing dead.

Alaina's friend taught her how to put her hair in a towel...so now "we have to do it."

And Sirena loves Papa Cookies (aka Oreo's). She only gets one when I'm gunna bathe her right away. As you can see she shoved one in her hair and made it stick to her head. Gotta Love It!

Our FUN Trip to Utah

Little Fishes

We first went to a water park. Then went to see Toy Story 3.

We started the weekend with Meyring Grandkid pictures with Maria.

We had 12 of the 13 Meyring Grand kids together with Grandy.

Waiting for the Concert to start at the Stadium of Fire.

Carrie Underwood was AWESOME!

We made it! Man that was a hike!
Timpanogas Cave

We all worked together to get up the mountain.
Strollers were not allowed. Everyone helped get the kids up the mountain.

Me and my niece Addison...she looks more like she belongs to me then my own kids!

This trip was unlike any other! We got to spend a lot of FUN time with brothers and sisters. All our kids got to play and spend time together. It was an amazing weekend...to say the least!

It started on Friday with a trip to the water park and the movies. On Saturday we had the Meyring Grandkids Pictures taken and then the Lehi Legacy Pool. The grown ups and a few kids got to go to The Stadium of Fire. Carrie Underwood was playing and the whole event was RAD!

On Sunday, we went to church and enjoyed a great day as a family hiking to the Timpanogas Caves. On Monday a lot of us went to the 4th of July Parade in Provo. Some headed home Monday afternoon and we left on Tuesday. All in ALL is was GREAT! The best part was to be together and make such a great memory!

Daniel & Sarah's Wedding & Beach Trip

Here's the Newest Mr. & Mrs. Martz

(They'll be the newest until November)

Sirena and the Beach...we'll let's just say the name fits!

Sirena is Spanish for Mermaid..and that is exactly what this little girl is!

Our other Fishy...Alaina Kay!

Do you see what I mean...she wanted to sit down! We had to hold on tight!

This was just WAY too cute!

And Again....the little mermaid...she got away from me and was running to the water.

We had a great week with Byron, Steffanie and Wes staying with us, going to Zuma Beach, and getting to be apart of Daniel & Sarah's BIG DAY! It was a week that will always be special.
