Preschool Prom and Papas Pizza Time

I can't believe I can love 3 little people so much. It's a good thing I like their Daddy too cause they are spitting images of him and I am so glad about that. It amazes me that their successes and failures are your success and failures. On Sunday Tyson gave a talk in Primary and I was actually nervous for him. I could feel my heart beating faster when it was his turn to talk. He did awesome though. He is such a good kid.

Cabo

Oh we had a great time in Los Cabos. Good food, lots of sun, and I didn't hear any babies cry for 6 days. It was great!!! The resort we stayed at was called Dreams and the names sure fits.

We met a really fun couple over a mildly competitive game of beach volleyball. Its a small world-here we are out of the country and we meet a couple who grew up with Eric's cousin Chris in Washington. Crazy crazy.

We went 4-wheeling, just cause we could. We were out riding for about 3 hours is the sun and just had a great time on the sand.

Ah I am ready to go back right now. What a nice vacation. 93-94 degrees everyday we were there.

She's one

So, this is way past due, but Alivia is 1 now. She's starting to talk a little bit. A few Mommmm and Dadddds here or there. We've caught her looking out the kitchen window and saying what I think is Papa while waving vigorously to the grass. She really likes seeing Papa Reed working outside working. But I should tell you that she waves to the inside of the refrigerator, the closets, and her toy box.

So, these are the baby rattle cakes I make for Ali's birthday. I think they turning out pretty cute. She didn't care to much about cake and had no idea that family was there to see, she just wanted to play. Oh well, I'll be the first to admit the party was for me.

So I took the kids to see the lambs. I think if we stayed just a little bit longer we could have seen a new mommy have her babies, but Natalie kept saying "It is just too stinky here" and Tyson wanted to ride on the tractor. So, off we went.

This is just a cute picture I wanted to show off...so there we go...now you've seen just how cute she can be.

Ali's walking

Ali walked on her 9 month birthday. So if my memory is correct - Tyson took his first step at Grandma King's house. Natalie's first step was at Grandma Debby's, and Ali's at Grandma Nadine's. Kinda crazy huh?

I sure love these kiddos and love sharing them with you guys. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoy sharing them. It's amazing what a child's laugh or smile can do to brighten my day. Unfortunatly, we've all got colds right now so we are just taking it easy for the next couple of days.
We had a really nice Thanksgiving at Papa Reed and Grandma Nadine's. I sure had it easy this year. We are really looking forward to Christmas. Time is sure flying by and I'm sure Christmas will be here in no time.
Santa told me to tell the kids that he is going to drop by the house on the 19th (Just before we head to Las Vegas) so he doesn't forget to put a couple of presents under the tree. This way the kids can have two Christmases-what's better than that. Boy- I have a hard time believing that I have a 5 year old, 3 year old, and now a nine month old.

I love dressing the girls the same. This should be the closest I get to having twins.

Halloween 2009

So, I love Halloween. The kids have so much fun showing off their costumes. Tyson and Natalie played rescue the Princess. I have to admit Natalie was the cutest Princess I've ever seen.

October Fest in the King's house

So, these aren't the best pictures I've taken but it seems to be all the time I have to take pictures is going out the window. Life is sure speeding up. The big day came when the kids got to go to the pumkin patch and take their hay ride. It was the first time Natalie rode a bus and she was pretty scared. Which is weird because this girl isn't afraid of anything. So, they sat Tyson next to her and she was just fine. So I am trying to teach Ali to sign a little bit. Right now she just throws her hands above her head and shows us how big she is.
This is all three kids playing together with no tears. I had to capture the moment.

She doesn't look too happy does she?

Kyle giving her birthday hugs.

She was so proud of the little pumpkin she picked out.

Grandma gave Natalie a phone for her birthday. This girl LOVES phones, the color pink, and purses. Oh boy - a look into the future.

Natalie got her first black eye at Preschool. She was hit in the face by a swing. As my Dad would say in a womenly voice "It was a run by swinging."

This is the puppy Cory and Heather gave Natalie and she still carries it around as her treasure.

September 2009

So, here is what's up with up lately. Preschool started last week. YEAH!!! a few hours a week with just Alivia and I. Natalie never wants to leave when I go to pick her up. I think the funniest thing is when she talks about craft time it sounds like crap time, so she will say she played craps today or she made crap today. It a whole lot funnier coming from a two year old trust me.

Here is the dress GG gave Alivia. She looks so cute in it.

Ali loves her Cheerios and potatoes.

She loves to watch the kids splash in the tub and can't wait to have her turn.

So, I just love this picture. Tyson takes such good care of Natalie at Preschool even though this girl can handle just about anything. I had one two year old come up to me at Preschool and tell me that my daughter is NOT shy. She is our social butterfly. I was teaching her that if she gets lost that she could find a Mother or Grandmother with children to help her out. Well, at the park she sits down next to a women and follow her around. Making conversation and asking if she could hold her hand. I asked Natalie why she was so interested in this women and she said, "Well, you said I can't talk to strangers unless she was a Grandma and she is. So I can be with her." Luckily this women didn't mind. Oh, Natalie and her sweet innocence.

Natalie got a new bike and princess helmet. $3 at a garage sale -oh yeah! We also took Tyson's training wheels off and the kids seem go grown up now.

What is cuter than baby legs? -okay maybe fat baby legs
