It's Great to be 8!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Mariyah Lyn. She turned 8 on October 6th!!!!
We love you Mariyah:)

We had a birthday party for her at Makutu's Island. I think I am finally caught up on blogging besides blogging about her birthday party then the next blog will be about Halloween then Mariyah's baptism in November and Andrew's 1st birthday. Crazy how times goes by!!!!

Swimming Time

The girls loved our pool for the summer. Every year I get a pool from Target on clearance for the following summer:). The girls had so much fun with the pirate pool and they played great together. Andrew enjoyed getting wet and at times he would crawl in with his clothes on.

Mariyah's friend Kaylee came to visit and they had fun playing.

Pink Hair Extensions

My amazing friend Jesika who does my hair was so sweet to put
pink hair extensions in the girls hair.

Look at her pink hair:)

Alexa and Brookie go their hair done at the Salon.

Jesika's beautiful daughter with her pink hair extensions.

Our Pet Gecko's

Every night on our kitchen window at least 3 up to 5 gecko's hang out. The girls think it's so much fun because they have "pets". We don't have any animals so this is pretty exciting for them. They're the best pets you can have lol. They take care of themselves, eat bugs and they entertain the girls. The girls gave 2 of them names Kylee and Kyle because in the beginning we only had 2 that would come and hang out on the window.

Cute Brooklyn

I love the way Brooklyn fell asleep. When my girls are tired they can
fall asleep anywhere.

Playing with playdoh after church

I love my Brookie

Brookie took a picture of me and it's probably a smart idea since I take pictures of everyone else and then when I upload the pictures I am not in many of them.

We have lots of chalk that the girls can color with but Brooklyn decided to use a marker.
It did come out which is good.

Brooklyn loves to paint and said mom can you take a
picture of me while I paint lol.

She told me that she had drawn a picture of me:)

Brookies new swim suit. These pictures were taken back in July.
I love her smiles and she is all about princesses and she LOVED her swim suit.

Mariyah's 1st friend sleepover

The girls had so much fun staying the night. They had pizza, made bracelets and had fun playing. I didn't know that 7 year olds could stay up til almost 2 am lol. They had LOTS of fun and in the morning I made them breakfast and we went to the park.

Mariyah's friend Emma came to play and the girls were wearing the same style shirt.

Mariyah said mom look what I made a banana split lol

Husking Corn on the Cob

The girls were happy to help in the kitchen because they got to husk the corn. Andrew thought it would be fun and help too. He kept on taking it out of the trash but it was neat to see the 3 of them working together.

Updating our Family Blog

Life has been quite busy for our family and I am sure it has been for your life too. I have been taking lots of pictures but haven't uploaded them onto the computer until now:). I love blogging and when I keep up with the posts it's also wonderful. When I don't I wish I had so here are pictures of Andrew the past 2 months. I will post again with more pictures of the girls so that I can get caught up on my blogging.

10 months old

He used to sleep on his back but when I have gone in to check on him he has moves to his tummy and he seems pretty comfy.

I was going to get Andrew's jammies and when I came back I found Brookie reading Andrew a book. It was so cute and such a sweet sister.

He looks like he's really into the book:)

Andrew started standing at 10 months on his own and has taken a few steps. It's so cute and whenever he stands we clap and he gets really excited.

Andrew loves to climb into the dishwasher. These pajamas make he think of Where's Waldo lol. After I took the picture I realized he had a knife in his hand. Of course he didn't grab the spoon but the knife.

Joshua has a 2 seater car and Andrew wanted to
sit in it and he fell asleep.

He can fall asleep anywhere. I love it!!!!

He loves to play with bikes and spin the wheels.

Mariyah is such a big help with Andrew

I love how sweet she is to him.

The weather was so beautiful and Joshua and Andrew were outside

and I love the way he's siting.

Joshua goes riding and Andrew is in his glory with all the motorcycles.

Taking a nap with dad

He loves action figures already

I thought he was going to take a nap but I found him playing:)

9 months old

His sister's gave him licorice and boy did he love it.

Andrew was eating and he fell asleep while he was eating

I love his cute smile

Andrew LOVES his dad's dirt bike. Every time he see's it he makes sounds like a motorcycle and when he's on it hes' all SMILES and doesn't want to get off:):).

He loves to play outside and get wet.

His friend Jayda came to play:). She's 3 weeks older
