Chuck-E-Cheese baby!

Ethan had such a fun time at Chuck-e-cheese. We had been bribing him with chuck-e-cheese as a reward for potty training and it hadn't been working and then right before we left he pooped in the potty!!!YEAH!! He had a great turnout for his party and was so excited to see chuck-e which was a relief because last time we were there he was a bit scared! Ethan kept giving high fives, it was pretty cute. At one point he got so excited with the high fives and he was jumping and stomped on chuck-es foot.It was pretty funny! Ethan got a medal for being the birthday boy. He was so proud! Here he is looking a bit lazy eyes... And heres Blake...And here's Beau... And Bryson with Uncle Elliot...Here's Blake conducting Happy Birthday to Ethan!
Heres Phil with her son Dillon helping Ethan blow out his candles! And GG with Sadie... And here are best cousins Gage and Tyler with Ethan opening his presents in the background.. It was a long party for Sadie and she had her moments...
but with some help from GG and Papa Anthony she was all better!! 3 Cheers for GG and Papa Anthony!!It really was a great party! Ethan loves all of his toys. He loves his new bath toys and has enough of them to share with his sister in the tubby! He finally has his own matchbox cars and has been watching TNMT nonstop! He loves his tools, balls and smartcycle game! He really had a second christmas the morning after the party,lol!

Ethans finally 3!!

Ethan had a fun and exciting 3rd birthday from start to finish. We woke up and went to his first dental cleaning appointment. The kids go to dentistry for children and it is the most awesomest dentist ever!! They have a kids play area complete with a theater, clubhouse, salt water aquarium, and really great wall art. I dont have my own pictures but check out their website...http://www.dentistry4children.com/office_tour.htm...I only wish I could find a pediatrician that would have an office like this! Anyway, Ethan did great at his cleaning and walked away with no cavities and a new toothbrush, Wahoo! Next we went to pick up his cake from kroger. I was told over the phone that it was a real boyish cake and specifically told them it was for a boy and when I arrived, this is what I got...
I was a little dissapointed in the yellow. It had blue bordered around the bottom so why not do it on the top too?

When we got home Ethan was so excited because daddy decorated the kitchen with balloons and presents! Ethan got a mickey mouse clubhouse, a real digital camera!!!
and a smart cycle from papa anthony! He was real cute taking pictures all morning. So many that he killed the set of batteries in like 30 minutes!
The kids had fun playing on the smart cycle and then it was naptime to prepare for chuck-e-cheese!

A bit behind

I am in the process of uploading pictures from Christmas and Ethans birthday...will post soon...stay tooned!=)

Sadie's latest accomplishment

Sadie cries everytime I walk over the gate and leave her behind so I took down the gate and to my suprise...






She has mastered the stairs!!

Trick or treat

This year the kids improvised with their costumes. Let me explain... It was 70 degrees during the day and by night it was dipping towards freezing. So for this reason Sadie was a lion during the day...

Here she is waving to the camera

And by night she was Sadie the lady bug





Ethan wore Gages old army soldier costume except we spiced it up with a real army name tag. If yhou look close enough you can see that we added foamie stickers to each side of the tag with Uncle Jim and Uncle Davids names so he was a real army soldier=)


By night he was a puppy and was really good at staying in character!

Sadie thought the puppy head was fun to pull on and very entertaining!





Gage was Optimus Prime and only wore the mask for the picture. He thought everyone was staring at him when he had it on so he refused to put it on again.

Spooky Eyes


He could have just put on warmer clothes under his costume for the night time festivities but he felt left out because Sadie and Ethan had different costumes so he pulled out his Dale Jr costume and wore that.He was very proud of his pumpkin that he decorated at school, can ya tell?!

And here he is "eating" his pumpkin...

We went to a few different festivals and trunk or treats so that when it came time for the real deal, I took Gage and met up with Jennifer and Blake and their crew to trick or treat while Justin stayed home with the two sleepy angels. Gage raked in a lot of candy and said that he had to get a lot of candy so that he could share with Ethan and Sadie since they didn't get to come with us.

Just another day...

So another year has come and gone and I am one year older.. 26 to be exact, and I am finally realizing that,for me at least, the birthday is just another day. Kids are too young to do anything for ya...husbands too clueless to do anything for ya.. But atleast I have great sisters that help make it feel special! Thanks! Is someone would have told me that when I was 26 my best friends would be my sisters, I would not have believed it. And my brothers aint that bad either! So happy freakin birthday to myself. My gift to myself is to loose the baby weight that Ive been packin since I had Gage. I like to blame it on Sadie but truth is, its from Gage=)Ill keep you posted....

Beverly Hills Chihuahua...Really?!?

So I called Justin up this morning ranting and he told me to blog about it so I will=) I was listening to the radio this morning on my way to the grocery store and heard whats called the entertainment buzz. They were saying what movies did the best at the box office over the weekend. To my suprise, Beverly Hills Chihuahua beat out Quarantine and Body of Lies which has Leo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe... # 1 for 2 weeks in a row grossing a total of $52.5 million in just 10 days...Really?!? Our economy is so bad, and Americans are losing their homes, cars, jobs and the way they choose to spend their money is by going out and spending 52.5 million dollars on watching Chihuahua's? I already think movie ticket prices are rediculous and that people should boycott the movie theater until ticket prices and the concessions go down but to spend it on a chihuahua is beyond me...fyi
