JUST A MORNING OUTSIDE WAITING FOR THE BUS 09-19-08

Janessa ready for school. Janessa and Amber. Amber loves to go wait for the bus. Mia sad. She has to wear her flip-flops to the bus every morning. Well, this morning her feet were cold. I asked her if she wanted to go put shoes on and she said no.
Mia and Amber. My uncle Creg gave me some Dahlias for our yard. They are beautiful big flowers and most of all I did not kill them.

TOM GOT HURT 09-15-08

I had noticed Tom outside just acting weird. As I got closer he was hurt pretty bad. His whole skin was off his jaw and just hanging there. Mia and I dashed to the vet. He was in surgery for an hour. They took pictures and x-rays. He had a little fracture in his jaw and two teeth that were broke off. They reattached the skin, so he is stuck in a lampshade until October 1st. Janessa and Mia have been so worried all week. So we give him medicine every 12 hours with canned food. He is not too happy to be an inside cat now!

PICTURE DAY AT MIA'S SCHOOL 09-10-08!

This is Mia for picture day at school. I curled her hair and had her all ready. We went with Janessa out to the bus and I said "Mia do not get in the mud or try to cross it". Not one minute later she was crossing it and on her knees in her white tights with gravel in her knee. Janessa got on the bus. Then Mia and I went to change. With the tights changed we were off to school. She fell asleep on the way to school that morning as she was up since 3:30 a.m., so I should have been asleep too:)!! We made it to school. As I was pulling in to work I looked at my wedding ring and when I did I realized the BIG diamond was GONE! So it was a day that just got better by the minute!

A little friend Matthew who turned 3!!!

This is Matthew. He had a gymnastics party at the new gymnastics gym in Twin Falls!!! He is just always smiling. We love spending time with him and his family!


This was the Tigger cake his mom Cindy made. It was so cute!!

Mia's new kitten for her birthday named FUZZY!

Well last year we got two kittens and named them Tom and Jerry. Well, Jerry decided to take off, but we think someone has taken him as he was so cute.

So for Mia's birthday she got a new kitten and she named her Fuzzy. She did not know how to eat. So I bought kitten bottles and she would not drink. So I put milk in the bottle and poured it down her throat as she slurped it with her tongue. Now she eats everything in her path.

Ken and I used to have a cat named Smokey. He was grey with green eyes. He was just adorable. Fuzzy is identical to him and even loves to chew on Ken's chin!
Mia is always being the baby with Janessa as the mom. Also if you notice Fuzzy too!

This was movie night with the girls and the cats (Fuzzy and Tom). They are never left alone:)!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL August 25, 2008

Janessa is in first grade this year with Mrs. Brown. The first day of school Janessa told Mrs. Brown "I can read like a second grader"!
















Mia is in Pre-K with Mrs. Mindy. She really enjoys her!














Mia and I were waiting for Janessa and the bus. The bus was really late the first day. Mom and dad were getting worried. Mia and I checked the mail. She had a present from Alysha, Josh, and Sitaly in the mail so she was so excited.

MIA TURNS 4, August 23, 3008

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIA!
Mia's birthday is on August 25th, but we celebrated on the 23rd. We had friends and family over. She wanted a bouncer, cotton candy, and Hannah Montana. We also had the pool which everyone jumped in.



One of my friends from work has a daughter Tyler with the same birthday, so we threw a double party. We had a blast.

At one point Ken was making the cotton candy and it was all over him. He would change hands and the girls would pick off the cotton candy. He had it hanging down from his hat. The kids had so much fun.

Aunt Sandy bought some princess shoes for Mia and everyone was trying them on including her little friend Matthew. He wanted pictures of his feet and then with the shoes. It was so cute.

Nana, Ken, and I bought Mia the Barbie jeep. The kids had so much fun with the real working radio, no kidding tune it in to whatever FM station you would like, and with the other truck we had already. They were just laughing and crashing in to eachother.

Mia says "I am 4 now and I am big"!
