Emily's 4th Birthday

Crash and some other Cute stuff

Limo Ride 2012

Ryan had his Limo ride. He had a fundraiser right after school started and in order to ride in the limo to Peter piper Pizza he had to sale 20 items. All I can say it's a good thing we have a big family. He got his 20 items in October but had to wait until January for his prize. Since I am on the PTO board this year I know stuff that is going on and I got to go as one of the chaperone's. I got to go last year but that was because I was lucky and they didn't have as many kids sale things. This year we had a ton of kids and had to do two different loads of kids. I got to go with Ryan's group and that I was really happy about. The big kids would have driven me crazy. Before all the fun stuff at Peter Piper happened we first had to get the kids in the Limo. Normally this would have been okay however about 10 minuets before we started to call kids out of classes an announcement came over the school intercom telling everyone to get inside and not come out of the building till further notice. I was in the Library we called the office to see if the school was going on lock down or not and she said no but they found a javelina on the playground. The funny thing is when this happened all the kids except for one classroom was outside. They called animal control and started fallowing/chasing it around the school grounds. I wouldn't of believed it if I didn't see it for myself. It was a good size and as soon as we heard it was off school grounds but running towards Lindsay we got all the kids out since our limo was sitting there waiting for us and to top it all off the kids got out of school early all that week so we where on a time limit not only for the limo but school getting out as well. Then we heard on the radio that it was running back towards us at the school so we got all the kids in the limo and took off. I later found out that Joe Pico helped catch it in front of his house until Animal Control got there. before we left we saw a couple animal control trucks as well as a couple of Mesa Pd around the area.

After we got to Peter Piper the kids where super excited. We got what kind of pizza they wanted and then sent them of to play. It was nice to see that Ryan was having a blast and I didn't have to help him this year as much as last year with playing the games. After we got our food they got to play for a little longer then trying to get them to use all the tickets for the prize counter always takes a while but we got out at a pretty good time. Since we just had to lad the kids at the school any one who wanted to get pictures had to do it at Peter Piper.

These are the kids from Ryan's class that got to go. I think he has a crush on Amaya. She was in his class last year and he has never put his arm around anyone before. The other little girl is McKenzie.

Mommy and Ryan and baby Gracie

Funny Dec Pics

Just had to share some cute pictures that I got during the month of December.

Ryan came home from school with this very cool hat. The cooler part was that he had it on his head. It has taken him till now at 1st grade for him to actually put these hats that they make on his head. He has always had problems with this so it is fun to see him doing stuff like this on his own.

Cameron decided that he was going to an attack me he thought it was funny however his baby sister who is in my tummy didn't think it was that fun. Thank goodnes I saw him coming and turned on my side.

Everyone get Daddy. Yep Papa even got in on this action. Blaine was trying to get the boys to walk on his back. It didn't turn out so well. Ryan is sitting on Blaines head poor Daddy I bet you he wishes he was at school now.

Cameron loves taking care of his Baby Gracie. He is going to be such a good big brother one the real baby Gracie comes.

Christmas 2011

This year Santa went to Gma Birds house. Since we are living with Blaine's parents it was just easier to have santa come there that way things wouldn't get confused and we normally have Gma Bird over for Biscuits and Gravy after we open presents. We had our Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve with Gma Bird. This was the loot that Santa left for our kiddos. We got up Christmas morning and headed over the boys got really excited.

Thank goodness our kids don't care if the stuff they get is new or not. Ryan told me that he wanted Super Mario Brothers Game for the Wii for like 3 months. He had gone to Flagstaff with Gma Matthews to take apples and Kenny had the game. Ever since then anytime we would walk by it at the store or he saw it in the ads he would make sure I knew that he wanted it. I figured since the game was a year old that it wouldn't be so expensive but I was wrong and I didn't want to pay $50.00 for a game. Thank goodness for Game Stop and them having used games. It didn't come in the fancy case but we don't keep those anyway so he was super excited when he pulled that out of his stocking.

Ryan got this super cool new radio control truck with a trailer. To bad daddy broke it later that afternoon but daddy also got a remote control car so it was a good thing his still works.

Cameron is addicted to Angry Birds. So he thought that this pig was the coolest thing ever.

Don't worry we didn't leave out Gma Bird. Her DVD player stopped working so we got her a new one and set it up for her and she was super happy.

Flagstaff Family Visits

A few days before Christmas Janna, Madison, Buddy, Kenny, Kaylee and Tenley came down for a quick Christmas. Even though they only stayed one night all the kids had fun. Ryan was so excited to see Kenny. It was fun to watch them open all the gifts they got then all the kids went to play in there different directions. Cameron thought Tenley was cute and gave her toys to play with.

Then Cameron decided that he need some popcorn. Now Cameron does not share his popcorn and if you think that you can sneak one you are wrong. Tenley saw that he was eating something so she came over and wanted some. Lets just say that didn't turn out so well. Cameron threw a major fit so we made Tenley her own bowl. Audrey gave her some popcorn and it was the first time she had it and loved it.

Blaine was eating some stuff in the kitchen when Tenley came in wondering what he had. That little girl can eat. It was so cute to see Blaine with Tenley can't wait to see him with our little girl.

 

Hall of Flame

Papa Bird came down from Colorado to bring Christmas presents. Nana was going to come but she got the flu so she ended up staying home. I had gotten Hall of Flame passes at Island Fest and they expired in Dec since I have never been there and my dad use to be a fireman we thought it would be fun plus it was free. I will say it was really cool to see all the really old firetrucks however there is not much for little kids but we got through it. They did have one truck that the kids could climb on as well as a little kid area with some toys. Like I said it was free so it all worked out. My dad on the other hand thought it was super cool to see firetrucks/wagons from 1800's plus newer ones. We did get some cute pics so all in all it was a good day.
