I know that I am not the greatest at the computer. I decided since it had been so long and I had a ton of pictures I would input all the pictures and write all the info when the pictures where uploaded. Not such a great idea. After the post is done there is a huge ( I mean HUGE) space until the old post. So sorry for the inconvenience. Still learning.:D

I have had quite the time with this dang computer. It almost crashed and I would of lost all my pictures. Thanks to the husband he fixed it. Good thing one of us knows what we are doing.

Finally pictures of Gehrig's Star Wars party

Take note of the HELMET he gets for his birthday!!!
Yes he has it on backwards!!! He is not to familiar with helmets.

Darth Vader paid a little visit. The kids were going crazy. I set them all up on the court to do Jedi Training, and suddenly the music came on and Darth came walking down the sidewalk. All of the kids got to fight him. So fun to watch. Gehrig was so cute. As Darth Vader was walking away he yells "Hey Darth Vader I just got a toy of you!!" He was so excited.

Yes it is what you think it is. The kids were out front riding scooters and sure enough Gehrig came running in, blood all down the face and a huge rock stuck in his head. He broke back open the top of the cut and split it about a quarter of an inch to the left. I was so mad. He just got a HELMET for his birthday and sure enough he was not wearing it. So I figured I was going back to the ER for the third time in 3 days. But I took him to the doctor. They were able to terry strip it. Let me add that today was our Anniversary too.

Happy 9th Anniversary!!

All day long I just figured that we were not doing anything for our Anniversary. When I got home from the Doctor on the table was these beautiful flowers with a note. It was so great after all that had just happened. We went out to eat at The KEG and had a great time. Thank you mom for watching the kids.

So very tired!!

Daxton's Basketball Game

Little Cheerleader

The Three Amigos!

Sam, Daxton and Brad

Notice the cool trophies that they are holding. Daxton being the great kid he is though it would be fun to see how fast he could spin the basketball on his trophy. He spun it very well. The ball came flying off into the lake at Freestone park. The poor thing was so sad. Luckily I called the trophy place and they will give him a new basketball. These kinda things always happen to him.

My nephew Parley turned 12 and talked me into making him a Cowboys Helmet cake. Probably never again. By far it was the hardest.

The finished backyard that we love. Thank you to everyone that helped.

The Phoenix Zoo

Daxton, Lily, Devin (cousin) and Gehrig

She is so happy!

Gehrig, Daxton and Devin

Gehrig loves Tigers!! It was so cool he was right there.
Gehrig did not want to leave.

Brett, Sarah, Katie and Ryan

at the Rascal Flatts Concert!!

So much FUN!!!

He did it!!! Daxton finally learned how to ride a bike. Ryan took him out Monday, took off the training wheels and off he went. I was so proud of him. Ryan was behind him just once down the street and then he had it. That is all he wants to do now.

One wild and crazy week!!!

We have had one of the craziest weeks ever. Tuesday afternoon we had just gotten back from picking up Daxton from school. All the kids were outside playing. I was in the house on the computer when all of a sudden I heard a horrible scream from Gehrig. I knew the scream, it was not going to be good. I ran outside to find Gehrig walking around the corner with blood all down his face. As I got closer to him I saw his skull. He had hit his head on the sender block wall down the side of our house riding his scooter. I had no idea what to do there was blood everywhere. So I called 911, hung up called Ryan and Tammy to have her come get the other kids. The EMT's and Fireman came and wrapped his head up. Then I took him to the ER for the second time. Last time he got staples in the back of his head. This child is my accident one. We sat in the ER for about 4 hours. While we were waiting for the Doctor, I took a picture of the huge hole on his forehead with my phone to show him and the first thing out of his mouth is "wow". Needless to say he thought it was pretty cool. I will spare you all and not show you those pictures. I still get the shivers when I see the picture. When it came time to do the stitches he was such a trooper. They gave him shoots in the wound to numb it. He did not even move and flinch. The doctor and nurse were so impressed with him. So was I. This kid can handle anything!!!

I had planned for a long time to decorate Ryan's room at school for Valentines Day. He had his last Basketball game of the year on Thursday. So my mom came with us to the game, and afterwards we acted like we were going home, but stayed and decorated his room. The kids had a great time drawing on the board. We hung streamers and got some candy and I made him this cake. He was so excited and totally surprise. This man is very hard to surprise. Thanks to my mom we were able to execute it.

Next to add to the week, we had Gehrig's 5 year birthday party on Monday. He wanted a Star Wars party. Of course. So Ryan and I made him a R2-D2 cake. It was quite a chore. But very fun. Gehrig was so happy. Although, he wanted it to fly. I told him that I am not sure that I can make that happen. I have pictures of the party but my camera is acting up so I will put those on soon. Happy Birthday Gehrig !!! We Love You!!!

Here you go Katie Z. All of these new entries are for you. I am so sorry it has taken me so long. Do I need to take away the picture of the garden.:)!!!!! I promise there are no dead animals underneath the flowers!!

My latest crafty attempt

Anybody who knows me knows that I love Damask print. So I bought some a while back and made me an apron. I started to think how cute Lily would look in a skirt made with the fabric. And when I get ideas I have to execute them, it overtake me. So here it is. She was such a stinker. I could not get a picture of her, so Gehrig had to stand next to her. I had to keep making it smaller around the waist because she is so dang skinny. (she definitely gets that from her fathers side). Anyway, I normally do not put my crafty stuff on the blog, but I thought I would share this one.

ASU BASKETBALL

One of our favorite things to do as a family is go to the ASU Basketball games. One of Ryan's old basketball players is on the team. It is so much fun watching them play. The kids love to go. Gehrig spends the whole time looking for Sparky. He want to see him but he cannot get to close to us. He still has issues with people in costumes. Daxton cannot get enough of the game. He is so cute he stands on his chair and yells with the crowd. Just like his father, except for the standing on the chair!:) Lily just dances to the music.
