Ruth's Visit to AZ

This is Me and Ruth at Westgate. I hadn't seen her in more than 3years! I was absolutely delighted to have her here. We had such a good time catching up.

I can't say enough good things about this women! She is my bestfriend and I miss her!

OK so we are the meanest parents ever! Kaleb loves rice and next thing you know he had a piece stuck to his forehead. I want a picture because it's so cute but one grain of rice doesn't show up very well, yes we put a huge chunk on him so the picture would be more dramatic. Poor lil guy! So funny, can you tell by Eli's face? Sorry Kaleb, we love you!

The waitress took this terrribly fuzzy pic, thanks lady!

Ethan volunteered to carry the diaper bag. He is such a good helper. He only made it a few feet and dropped to the ground saying that it was just too heavy to go on!

Me and my little man!

Ethan's First Field Trip

This was Ethan's second visit to the Children's Museum of Phoenix and his first field trip with his Kindergarten class. Eli came home early to watch Kaleb so I could go along, so it was my first field trip too!

The noodle jungle was a huge hit!

Look how cool it was inside! If it was any bigger you really could get lost!

We all went outside to have a lunch break and when we got outside there was this gigantic metal bird with thousands of ribbons tied on. We all grabbed a ribbon to tie onto this beautiful sculpture!

Ethan and Brooklyn serve up some pretend ice cream. Yummy!

The Three Muskateers!

Josh, Ethan and Sean are on top of the world( or really big rock)! I took the boys for a walk down to the park on a beautiful fall afternoon. They wanted to stop at everyrock they found, and there were alot of rocks, to see if they would all fit on top! It was a good day.

Finding junk was also a highlight of the walk. We live in a newly developed neighborhood so there are still empty lots to find cool stuff in.

Check out Seans sign. He wanted to take it home and put it in his room! I told him that the person who owned it would come looking for it, he dropped it a few seconds later! Ethan found a can so I told him the same thing and he just laughed at me.

They forgot all about going to the park............................so funny!

Halloween 2008

Kaleb was a pretyu good sport about me dressing him up and putting makeup on. He is so darn cute as my little lion!

Mommy and baby Lion!

Ethan had a party at school and he was having a blast!

Kaleb felt like one of the big kids, he stood there with them for almost 15mins.

He was so happy to be with all the kids and his big brother!

Trick or Treating with the neighbors.

Yolanda's Birthday Dinner

Ethan, Kelly, Isaac, Eli, Keegan, Alva, Yolanda and Brooke at Papadeaux's Seafood Resaurant for a birthday feast! Great Cajun seafood if anyone gets a craving! We asked a hostess to take a picture of all of us and these are the two pictures we ended up with. Not the best but it's something I suppose.

This is a great blurry picture with Brooke's tongue! Thanks Brookie!

Keegan and Yolanda strike a pose! I would called it sexy meets the thinker! Hehe! Love you both!

Ethan and Uncle Isaac are lookin handsome as always!

Two peas in a pod these girls! They would be BFF if Yolanda was in Highschool! Love you both!

Auntie Alva and Brooke cheese it up for the camera, except Alva forgot I was the only one with a camera and is looking for the other one! hehe! Just a little funny.

Brooke, Yolanda, Eli and Ethan.
