We're so glad when Daddy comes home!

Ruben FINALLY came home after being in LA for 34 days working. I had told the kids that he would be home on Saturday so imafgine their surprise when they heard the roar of his diesel truck on the side of the house at 6:03 p.m. on Friday night!! They were scrambling to find their shoes to get outside to get their daddy it was priceless. We have been breaking down one by one here at home wanting our daddy and I don't think we would've lasted a moment longer we are super happy he's home!!!

BbBRrr......

I heart my remote starter for my truck!

November in a Nutshell

Lila turns 6 months old on Monday!!


She started eating Cereal, and loves it. She also eats every vegatable I offer her.

We made these adorable clay-pot indians and Pilgrims!

Lastly I am grateful for a wonderful family, great friends and the blessings I recieve daily from the atonement. OOh & my yummy trifle!

What have I been up to??

Not much of this...


Well it seems like there is always so much going on in our household.
Mondays- dance
Tuesdays - dance
Wendsdays- scouts
Thursday- whew nothing
Friday- catch my breath and prepare for Saturday.
Then on top of all this I work for 5 hours, do my errands come home- cook dinner - take care of Lila, help Nicky and Olivia with homework and try to keep up with the housework. I really am not complaining, Just sharing!! The weeks seem to fly by and I feel like I am on a hamster wheel, just going and going, when does it end? OH yeah Summer. Too bad we've got quite a while!


Question???
Why does Heavenly Father let our babies grow up so fast?
Lila had a DR.'s Appt. yesterday and she is 14 lbs. 25 in long and almost 5 mo. old- Where did it go?
Enjoy a few random pics!!

Whew.. Where did September go???

September came and went in the blink of an eye for me....

We had the first day od school...
Olivia is now a big bad 6th grader....





Nicky is now a 3rd grader.....And Lila is going to the most wonderful day care..... Where the kids are so excited to see her and she is well cared for!

Lila turned 4 mos old on the 30th and is quite the little sweetie.... She likes to be a "big girl " and be with whoever is around. She was beading with the kids one day.. well she was knawing on her Bumbo seat cause well she can't bead yet!

She's got a pencil and is ready to go!

September was so crazy fast!! The big kids auditioned for the Nutcracker and made it. They will be dancing with the Oregon Eugene Ballet Co. in December!!! I am so proud of them and can not wait to see the performance! Hopefully I will have a new camera by then. (hint hint Ruben)

I am so grateful for fall and can't wait till more great stuff happens so I can post!

Oh what do you do in the summertime?

This summer has flown by.......

June rainy and icky.....

July hot and sticky.......

August just right but way too short....

Some of the things we did......

Nicky Likes to jump off the ramp and only crashed 3 billion times and used 2 boxes of bandaids

Olivia learned to rollerblade...

and Lila likes her stroller, and going for rides......

So far we've had a pretty nice summer. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for the week in Monmouth!

Oh what do you do in the summertime
