Truper is a "BIG BOY"

Truper turned 9 months old 1 week ago and I can't believe all the things he thinks he needs to do now:

* Eat anything he can get his hands on, and it doesn't matter that he only has 2 teeth, he will find a way to munch and munch it until it is the right size to finally swallow

*He will let go of whatever he was holding on to and just stand there like he has been doing it for years.

*He plays "SO BIG", I just say who is "So Big" and he will raise his arms above his head.

*I am trying to teach him "hi" and "bye". When he wants to say "hi" he usually just put his arm out high and grunts, but now he will open and close his hand.

*He says "Momma" and "Dadda"

*He climbs our stairs; which scares me to death, because Brisa fell down them like 3 times and they are SOOOOO steep.

And the most surprising of it all is:

*He is taking steps now. His favorite game is to walk from one person to another person. He will do about 5-7 steps at a time.

This was the child that I didn't want to even crawl and now he is almost a full blown toddler, I don't know what I am going to do when he finally figures it out and will be running.

Sunny Days... Pink Party....First day of school

We have had alot happen in the last week that I thought it would be best just to lump it all into one massive post.

First...Sunny Days

I have to post about this because it rarely seems to happen in Idaho, especially in November. We have had quite a mild start of November. The other day it was 60 degrees and sunny. A perfect day to go to the park and enjoy the last fews days of warmer sunshine days. Truper was totally enjoying the fact that Mommy was letting him play in the dirt. He was in hog heaven. I was very surprised that he wasn't shoveling all the sand into his mouth, he was just making mud with all the slobber that was dripping from his mouth. He was having a ball. As you can see from the pictures , it is not going to be very long until this little guy is going to be walking on his own. My bet is that he will be walking my Christmas, we will see if I am right!!!

Next...Brisa's Birthday Party

The Birthday Girl on the morning of her Birthday


Sorry it has taken me so long to post about Brisa's birthday. I made her wait two days after her big day to have cake and presents. The reason was because we didn't have anyone that was going to be able to come until the weekend so thus the reason we had it two days later ( it was torture, I know).

About 2 months ago, Brisa told me what she wanted her birthday cake to be: A TRACTOR. I was like oh, okay....What color do you want it to be: PINK. So I made her a PINK TRACTOR. It was really fun. Brisa right now is really into PINK. Everything has to be PINK. The cake was PINK, the ice cream was PINK. We had a PINK party.

Eventhough mommy and daddy didn't give Brisa very much for her big day, she sure was spoiled by everyone else. I would have to say that Grandma and Grandpa Dustin out did themselves this year. For all their grandkid's 3rd birthday they give them dress-up clothes that they make and put together. Brisa is sure enjoying her princess outfits and other fun clothes. Thank you, for making Brisa's day.Truper just wanted the BOX

Last....First day of Preschool

So Garon is part of a Co-op, Joy school preschool and today was the first day. He was so excited, he couldn't contain himself. He was just so excited that Mommy finally got him a backpack and it was TRANSFORMERS....He is addicted to TRANSFORMERS!!!! I am so happy that we are able to be part of this group and it seems like it is really going to work out just fine.

Happy Birthday Brisa Rose

I can't believe my baby girl is 3 today.....WOW! I can't believe how time has flown by.

Way TOO Fast!!!!

Very much a Daddy's Girl

1 year old


I am TWO!!!!

Beautiful Rose!!!

We are so happy that Brisa came into our lives, we weren't ready for her, but she had to come when she did. What an impression you have made in our family.

We love you!!!! Happy Birthday Love

November 1st...YEAH

I say November 1st because that means Halloween is over and I have pictures. Don't get me wrong, I love Halloween and all the fun that comes with it, but I am also very happy to finally get it done. We had so much fun!!! We started the night off by hitting our wards Trunk-or-Treat, then we went around a few blocks. We ended the night off at our neighbors, they were having one happening party, it was way fun. You gotta the holidays!!!!

My Beautiful Babies

About 2 weeks ago, we went down to Arizona to visit family and friends and attend a wedding of a very special person. We had want you would call an "experience". Without going to much into the trip, let me just say that Truper had an ear infection and was not himself, and all the kids were missing their Daddy....but I would have to say that I was the one missing him the most.

While we were down there, we thought it would be smart to get pictures of the cousins on my side of the family. My sister knows a great photographer and I think she did a great job with what she had to work with. I just have pictures of my kids together and when I get the rest I am hoping to be able to post a great picture of all my kids with my niece and nephew.

I hope you enjoy what I have so far....I am definately in love with them, now just to get them printed and put in frames is a whole different story.

This one is my absolute fav: I can't believe he is 8 months old today: SIGH!!!!
LOVE IT!!!

This picture pretty much describes our emotions while in Arizona.

Truper: Screaming and unhappy 90% of the time

Brisa: Happy and oblivious to the whole around her

Garon: Tuff and having much attitude, and I won't smile because you want me to.

A WHOLE LOT OF "Just Pictures"

I know that it is pretty TRUPER heavy, but I just can't get enough of this little guy!!!
