Tate is 5

My Tate turned 5 on Friday! Here is the great part, we had the neighbors over for a barbecue on his birthday and I got a migraine so I was upstairs puking while they ate. So the next day I finished making his birthday snake with cupcakes and the neighborhood boys invited themselves for the party. Jade invited Jason and his kids, the rest were uninvited!

I love my kids so much. I don't know what I would do without any of them. Tate is definately my crazy child. His laugh is contagious!

Out of Town

Tori stole my Oreo pie when I turned my back! That shirt is ruined!

Jade picked up some work out of town last week and here are a few high-lights and low-lights of the week.

• I did not seriously harm any child.
• We made it to school on time everyday!
• My Dad had his gallbladder removed the same day my Mom was suppose to watch Tori. So I took Tori to preschool and Holly picked her up for me! Thanks Holly.
• My Dad is doing much better.
• Tayla yelled at Tate and Tate yelled at Tayla so I asked what was going on and Tate said: "Tayla said the B word." Ty said "What is the B word?" Tate: "Damn it." Tayla said "Yeah Damn it."
• Ty was suppose to help me fold laundry and he was not cooperating. I left the room and came back a couple minutes later and he was almost done with the laundry so I said what happened to change his mind and start helping me and he said "I said a prayer that I would start listening and helping my Mom." How awesome is that!
• My friend Megan does not have to do chemo anymore. The not good news is that the chemo did nothing and her tumors have grown. They don't know what to do for her now.
• I know there was alot more that happened this week but I know Heavenly Father helps me forget the bad so I can survive!!!!!
• It was a good week. I am so grateful for the work that Jade got. I am also so grateful that my parents live so close!

Halloween

Ty was a bloody ninja. Brooklyn the neighbor was a princess and Tate was a knight.

I took this picture because this was the first time they were this close to each other

without hitting or yelling at each other.

Tori was a "buddafly" as Tayla put it, who was Supergirl. Lydia was a mummy,

she designed the costume herself.

It was beautiful on Halloween. We were in shorts. My kids didn't care

if they went trick or treating of not. I had to beg them to get the

costumes on. It was awesome.


Megan is doing good. Here she is as she was popping a bubble.


My little Messy Marvinskee. Jade's parents came down for Halloween.

Sharon is a wonderful grandma and so great to have around.

Thanks for all you do Clif and Sharon.

This was at the preschool party on Wednesday. Jaxon is Darth Vader.
