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.

Sirena's 1st Birthday

Sirena's First Birthday cake
Sirena..."Um what is that!?!?!"

Sirena..."Am I supposed to touch that!?!?"

Sirena..."Ok, one touch!"

Sirena..."See I touched it. I'm done!"

The frosting on her face is from us...we tried to get her to eat some.

It's so great that Sirena's birthday is just when school gets out and Milloy's is just when the kids go back to school. Isn't that funny?!?!?

As a I think back on this last year, I think about ALL the blessings our family has received beginning with Sirena! All through the Lock-Out we received blessings that amazed us. I am SO grateful to have my three healthy children and a WONDERFUL Husband who takes such good care of us. We are so happy to be together and enjoy our time as a family.
