Glasses!

This is my sweet "Plum" who is now wearing glasses! He has a lazy eye (well two lazy eyes,but one is more dominate).

The official name of his eye condition is called starbismus- esotropia. The glasses are suppose to help the "lazy eye" correct itself. He doesn't need the glasses for his vision, but he needs to wear them from dawn to dusk to try and correct his "lazy eye". It took a while to get him to keep them on (he is only 2 1/2.) But he is doing pretty well with it now. We are on our second pair of glasses, because the doctor had prescribed a little bit stronger lens, it's a good thing he did because about a week after he broke the first pair of glasses. So now we have to be extra careful, I don't want to have to get another pair it's only been 5 months since we got the first pair.

He can be quite a ham!

We will be going in a couple of weeks to find out if the glasses are working or if he will need surgery. I believe it will be a very simple procedure, but non the less I do not want him to have to have surgery. We will keep you posted. Please say a little pray for him!

Double Digits!

Can you believe my baby girl is 10! We are creeping into the teenage years, although some days I think we are already there! "Apple" had a slumber party for her birthday, but being the great Mom that I am I forgot to take pictures. So let's use our imagination and envision 7 little girls running around my tiny house, man do they have a lot of energy. They were all asleep by 2:00am and up by 6:30 am. I was exhausted! (not to mention my little "Plum" had decided to wake up at 3:00am for an hour) Even though she had a wonderful time I think in the future we will stick to parties that only last a couple of hours and the kids go home and sleep in there own beds!

"Pear" Get's Baptized

It is always a wonderful experience to have one of you kids get baptized. My "Pear" was baptized on January 5th, 2011. Although things didn't go quite as planed due to the fact that my grandma in Indian had passed away and the funeral was on the day that we had originally planed the baptism for I think it turned out to be special for "Pear". "Pear" was baptized and confirmed by his Dad!

Snow Day January 3 2011!

So I haven't been that great at blogging lately. I have started working and even thought it is only about 3 hours a day it sure does put a kink in my day. So back in January we had little bit of snow on the day the kids were suppose to go back to school from their winter break. Here in California if it snow we have a day of from school. They had a great time playing in the snow! This was "Plums" first time, he didn't last as long as his brother and sister but he thought it was pretty fun!

You can still see the snow coming down!

"Pear" had a good time working on the snowman.

Christmas 2010!

We had a GREAT Christmas! I love the holidays, but I think Christmas is my favorite!

On your marks, get set, GO!

The best part is to see the excitement of my kids!

"Pear" is 8

Christmas birthdays are always hard! Trying to plan a party amongst all the holiday hoopla.
So we just kept it simple, cake and presents the important stuff!

New Beds!

Back in October we had to move "Plum" from his crib to a "big boy bed". After being awakened at 2:00 in the morning by a 2 year old who was crying at my door, we decided it was time. I was kind of sad to move him out of his crib I had hopped to keep him in it for a while longer. He adjusted pretty well it only took about a week of him getting in and out of bed. He now for the most part stays in bed after we put him in! "Pear was petty excited to sleep on the top bunk too!








Here is "Apple" in here new day bed (courtesy of Grandma & Grandpa Wilson, I love hand me downs). She loves it and now we have an extra bed in the house.

First day of school

I can't belive we have started another school year! Time seems to go by faster and faster! I would really like it to slow down! But I don't think there is anything I can do abiut it!

"Apple" is in the 4th grade now! My sweet baby girl is growing into a young lady before my eyes! "Pear" is now in second grade I don't even know how that happened he just starte kindergarted the other day! (LOL)

"Plum" turned 2!

I can not believe my baby boy has turned 2! Why does time have to go by so fast? We had a nice little party for him just Mom, Dad, brother, sister and Grandma ("Nana") and Grandpa("Papa")!
Grandma made these cute little monkey cupcakes aren't they cute?

We have really enjoyed having this little guy join our family! He has such a happy personality and has brought us much happiness!

Fishing

I loved being able to spend time with our Family in Utah! It is so Beautiful there and we would love to be able to move there! We went to a like to go fishing and out on some canoes! I love "Apples" expression when she thought she might have caught a fish, but no fish!

Bekah and I out on a canoe! I was a little hesitant but I loved it once I was out on the water!

"Plum" checking things out!

Isn't he cute!

"Apple" and Uncle Nathan

"Pear" and Daddy

Mike and the two oldest kids had so much fun that they went back the next day and spent just about the whole day on the lake! Mike came back with a really bad Sun burn!

Buoy Ball

While we were horse back riding the lady house we went to had a Buoy Ball that the kids had a blast on! I'm not sure which they liked better the horse or the Buoy Ball! Love these pictures!

Hourse Back Riding

During our trip to Utah we had the opportunity ti go horse back riding (Thanks Debbie)! This was my very first time going horse back riding and something that I have always wanted to do! It was on my "bucket list"! I had so much fun and can't wait to be able to go again! Oh and can I just say having your picture taken on a horse is not very flattering!

Here I am riding "Taffy"
