So much going on!

So much has happened from now until the last time I blogged. So I will briefly touch on the things I can remember. April 13th was Bella's 7th Birthday. She is a big 7! Time to start preparing her for baptism. She got her first friend party this year. I haven't been very good about giving the kids friend parties since we always do a big family party, but I wanted them to have the experience this year so I promised them all friend parties this year. This was before I had Gideon. Only 2 girls could make it, but we still had fun. She wanted a Scooby Doo party this year. Ammon made this "Pin the Nose on Scooby Doo" game for her. He did it all free hand. I am quite impressed with his artistic ability.

Bella still had her family party at Cecilia's. This was a fun party too. Grandma bought her a schooby doo candy game where you pull out the sticks and candy may or may not fall out. All the kids had fun with this game.

Happy Easter! Easter was at Myndie's house this year. We had fun coloring easter Eggs and eating a yummy dinner.














Ammon had his school play in wich he had some talking parts. All the 4th graders helped write the play. I was verry impressed. Ammon did such a good job. It was all about the pioneers. Something they studied this year. It was a musical and everything. They even made their own scenery. I loved watching Ammon acting on stage. He had such a good experience. He loved it! Even with all the practices he wants to do it again.


Bella got her first hair cut in a salon. She has been asking for about a year now to get bangs. So she finally got her bangs! She also has been begging me to cut her hair short. I didn't want too, but told her when we could go to a stylist she could. So she and I went together to get our hair cut short. Mine is as short as hers. It was a fun mother, daughter time.

Alas, Al had to sell his truck. He was so sad about it. But after the bus hit him, he decided to just sell the beast instead of fixing it. It is weird to come home every day and not see his truck sitting there.

Ammon had his 10th Birthday June 26th! He wanted an indiana Jones birthday party. There was NO indian Jones stuff available. However, Ammon with his artistic abilities created his own. He did an Indiana Jones Pin the head on the body game. And I created a treasure hunt, and obsticle course for him. Only 2 boys could come, but they had fun.

Ammon also got two parties this year. The other being at Grandma Ramirez's. This was fun as well. As you can see he and his cousins especially had fun with the streamers grandma Ann put in his presents. He also got a new bike for his birthday!

June was our pack's Raingutter Raggata. Al being the Cub Master was in charge. It was quite the event! This was in place of the Pinewood Derby. We had a lot of fun. The boys make these boats and then race them in the raingutters by blowing on them. Ammon did so good. He won first place! Way to go Ammon! We gave him the most spirited racer award because every time he won, instead of glorring in his own acheivement he would stop and cheer on the other scout to finish the race. It was so inspiring.

Gideon ate in a high chair for the first time. He is growing up! Sam is such a big help with him. He wanted to feed him. Of course I can't turn that down.
