We had another birthday around here!Can you believe my first born is already 5! It makes me so sad to see how fast time goes, luckily I get to have him at home one more year before shipping him off to school. He has been anxiously awaiting his birthday since Pres had hers. He told me he could do whatever he wanted. He could put his feet on the table, no one could be mean to him, he didnt have to help set the table, he had it all figured out.


Rocs never sleeps with a shirt on anymore, it makes him sweaty, and Pres wants to be be like him some nites and not sleep with hers on!

Breakfeast was green cinamon rolls except for the exception of Presley wanting blue frosting

This was after church! most sundays we hang out in comfy clothes and since its summer I guess Rocs dosent wear shirts all day either!

He insisted on these poses, he was doing kung fu

The dessert request was brownies on the bottom, frosting, then caramel and a race car on top. You ask and you shall receive....... This is my meager attempt at makin him a ramp for the monter truck to drive off. I made homemade caramel and drizzled it on top, it was so rich you only needed a few bites

I love this picture, perfectly puffed cheeks

This was his pure joy! gotta love it

The long awaited pillow pet! he has seen this infomercial many times, I tell ya Nick jr does this so that the kids see it all the time and want it so bad they can hardly stand it. He informed me they are machine washable and they even close so tight you can fit your pajamas inside and go to grandmas house!

Rocco is such a special boy. He has such a desire to do what is right and loves to be cuddled and hugged. He is very smart and loves to do things right. He has a memory that is crazy!!! we were driving to a friends house for the second time and he knew exactly what street to turn down , just from going there one time before. I use that to my advantage sometimes, if I cant remember where I parked , or if I forgot to close the garage. He quotes lines from different infomercials, like pillow pets, but on another occasion I was telling Mike my sink was clogged in the bathroom and Rocs proceeded to tell us all we needed was a long thing you stick down the sink called a snake! He cracks us up daily! He has memorized his first article of faith and is working on the rest. He is so handsome and has the best smile and those little spaces in his teeth just melt my heart.

Rocco is such a good big brother and watches out very closely for Presley, during high school years we will all really appreciate that. I love being his momma and have loved the boy he is growing to be. He can now ride is bike too ,but that is another post coming.

the trincess is 3

another year has come and gone and my sweet baby is getting to big!!!! Yesterday was Presleys birthday, of course being such a girlie girl all things revolved around pink, princess and tutus


We had to curl her hair, so she could wear her crown

We had to have pink minne pancakes

The crown stayed on all day, she calls it a crownd, is a must have accesory

She still thinks she is 2 and is trying to use being 2 to her advantage, when she dosent want to do something. "But I'm still 2 , I cant do that". I think she is to smart for her own good

She got all sorts of fun things this year and she loved all of it!

Presley is such a fun little girl, the new things she is into is givin kisses. She wll stop me from walking down the hall and say"wait I need to kiss you" on your arm or leg, or wherever she can reach. But, you must say thankyou, and if you dont, she tells you, you need to say it. Its pretty darn cute.

She has the best voice and says the funniest things. Princess= trincess, Wand= dwond, Brother= drotha, these are just to name a few.

She loves to read books to herself and will lay on the couch with her legs kicked up and read to herself out load, and she tells quite the stories, sometimes its seems to be in another language.

Presley has been praying for the past couple months to stay dry so she can go to dance class, and this happens every prayer, blessing the food prayer and all. Well this past monday she got to go. I think she was too nervous and she just stood there on her mark with her fingers in her mouth. By the end of class she said , but what about dance class. I told it was already over and that she didnt do it, she was so sad. So come this Monday we will see how she does

Since our last visit to Mesa she has grown a love for Party in the USA, by Miley cyrus, she loveeesss it and has the best moves to it. sings it everywhere, I otta get that on video, its a riot

She is roccos little shadow and loves to do everything he does, but can still do it all girlie

She brings our family so much joy! to see my kids be best friend is the most precious thing in this world. We love her so much and keeps us entertained daily. I love being her mom

life

Weve been up to whole lot of everything


the kids love it when I wrap them up like this after the shower, they are pretty cute!




the best $4.50 I ever spent. This slip n slide has been tons of fun for the kids

Shes pouting bcause she couldnt do it

The beginning of the sommersault

he just learned how to do a good when, so he does them when the mood is right, while dancing, on the hard tile, on the slip n slide, hes a star!

and tonight we had company for dinner!

Happy sunday!

well I finally figured ho to get my pictures up.... it wasn't the computer , it was the operator. I can only upload 4 pics at a time and not 5 lke i was trying to. so anyway, here's lots of pictures of the fun time we had on our vacation.



ths has nothing to do with the vacay, it is just a sweet picture

the was the 2nd day at yosemite , rocs had conquered the rock

brother sister love!

there was this weird place on our hike that had all these little rock towers everywhere, it was very strange, Ím talking like hundreds of them . bigger rock on the bottom going to small', who has the time?

They are being statues, couldn't you tell?

The water was flowing, we went at a great time of year, the snow was all melted and the river was high and the waterfalls were plentiful. It was stunning!

There was about 8 falls flowing

Come august, there is only about 2 that flow

My sweet family!

This was called tunnel view, you drive out from this long tunnel and this is the view you are greeted with!!! The angels are singing!

See the water! months from now, you will be able to walk right under that bridge

First eaing out in Frisco! China town

You make rocs happy if you get him orange chicken

Alcatraz, it was super cool and so interesting, one of the former inmates was there signing books, that was weird to know that all of that didn't happen that long ago. I think this is a must see if you go there

Aquarium, Presley is listening to the guide, she got to feed the starfish lunch, she loved it!

He's a ladies man!!!!

from their view, I thought their world looks a little different then mine

The 7 sisters, Whatever happen to perdictability, the milk man the paper boy, evenin TV. I hope thats the words, but nonethe less, you all know what this is

Golden gate bridge. We took the double decker bus there and we rode on top and man , by the time you reach the bridge, it is freezin, but beautiful

All the sea lions on Pier 39

On the trolley!, we took these everywhere, and they dont wait for you, they have places to be, and the kids loved them. By the end of our trip, mike could navigate us everywhere, he is a good man to have around.!!!!!

double trouble

this was our last night there. we had an amazing time and I would do both places again in a heart beat! Iwas so impressed with my kids,they were troopers and they had a great time too. We made some good memories

Watch where you step

We just got home from a fabulous vacation to yosemite and san fransico, and I have like 30 pictures to upload but the computer is dumb! so, instead till i figure it out I will leave you with an email that Mike sent me tiltiled"watch where you step".
Is this not the freakiest thing you have ever seen, I thought those snakes traveled alone!

Sweet dreams everyone.........
