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!
