some good news......

Mylee Jade lost her first tooth and is so excited and happy!! She is the last of her friends and cousins to loose one and she was starting to think she never would! I mean geez she's almost 7! But she finally lost one and I think so looks so cute with her little missing gap in her mouth.:)

And for some more exciting news.................... WE THREW AWAY RIAH AND AVAH'S PACIFIERS!!!:) Some of you I'm sure are thinking "well it's about time!!" But we did it when we thought they were ready!:) So far things are going great without them! The first 2 days were absolute HELL!Especially with Riah because that has always been a big comfort to her(those who know Moriah know that she almost always is in need of comfort!) She is the most nervous child I have ever met! But everything is fine and dandy now:) Mylee never used a pacifier, she didn't care for them at all so this is the first time I have had to wean any of my kids away from them! But I think I did a GREAT job! Avah has only asked about her "wawa" once or twice. So anyway, I am just so proud that I did this so successfully!! I have been having nightmares about it for months! GOOD RIDDANCE "PACI" AND "WAWA"!!!

Don't they look so much cuter without a plug in their mouths??:)

I LOVE MY GIRLS!!

Well my next post will be about Christmas!:) I can't believe how fast it came this year! It seems like it comes quicker every year! I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!!:)

Funny conversation with Moriah.....

I was chopping onions to put in the chilli I was making in the crockpot and of course my eyes were watering like crazy and my sweet Riah walks up to me and says:

Riah: "Oh no mommy why are you crying what's wrong?"

Me: "oh nothing sweetie I'm chopping onions and they make my eyes water"

Riah: "Oh those poor onions!! Don't chop them anymore mommy! We will we go to the store and buy more onions and everything will be okay! You don't have to cry anymore!"

"Mom Who Should I Marry?"

I had the funniest conversation with Mylee a little bit ago and wanted to hurry up and blog about it before I forgot!:) Okay first I should tell you that for months now she has been torn over if she wants to marry Noah or Jeremiah.(They are brothers and the boys of my best friend Rachel and Mylee is just in between them in age.) Anyway I keep telling her that she is too young to worry about that but she doesn't want to hear it. Okay well today when she got home from school she was sitting on the bar stools doing her homework like the good little girl she is and all of a sudden I see her stop and she had this dazed look on her face like she was deep in thought, so our conversation began and it went something like this;

Me: Mylee what's wrong?

Mylee: Oh nothing I'm just thinking about Noah and Jeremiah and which one I should marry.

Me: Well remember what I said, you have plenty of time to think about it because you're not getting married til after college!

Mylee: I know it's just I want to know now! Who do you think I should marry mom?

Me: Well I don't know they are both very good boys

Mylee: Yes they are. Noah is so sweet and is always nice to me, but Jeremiah is so strong and he will beat anyone up if they are mean to me. And Noah likes pokemon and so do I but Jeremiah is so funny and he makes me laugh.

Me: Well I'm sure you will know who is best for you when you are old enough.

(There was a long pause and could tell she was thinking about something and then........)

Mylee: Um okay I think I'm going to marry Noah because Jeremiah climbs fences and I just think that would be kind of embarrassing if my husband is climbing a fence when we are trying to go grocery shopping or something!


That is pretty much how it went. HAHA! I just love the way kids think and the things that come out of their mouths. So I guess Jerry has climbed a fence in front of Mylee and that did not appeal to her! So lets hope Noah doesn't start to climb fences because then we will be back to "Who should I marry!"

Happy 3rd Birthday to Moriah Paige!!

Little Miss Riah turned 3 last week and I just can't believe how fast she is growing. We had a fun birthday party for her at the park by our house and she had so much fun. There was a GREAT turn out and we are so grateful to everyone who came to celebrate her special day with us. My batteries died at the very beginning of the party so I only got a few pictures. My sister took a lot of great ones and made me a disc but I haven't been to Show Low yet to pick it up so for now this is what I got. She was a little too distracted to look at me but she still looks adorable!!

This is Avah, our friend Audie's daughter Karter, and the birthday girl eating pizza

waiting for everyone else to show up.

Moriah is so proud that she is 3 now. She makes sure everyone knows that she is not a "todalor"(toddler) anymore, she is a "big girl"! We are so blessed to have her in our family, she makes us laugh everyday and she definitely keeps us on our toes! We love you Moriah, happy birthday!!!

Halloween

I love Halloween! I love watching my girls get so excited about their costumes and trick or treating. We had fun this year. We met up with a bunch of friends and went trick or treating and the girls got enough candy to last them until next year, it won't of course, but it should! Anyway here are a few pictures of the girls in their costumes, enjoy!:)

Bumblebee Ballerina

Stinky skunk

Riah Cutie

Our little froggie

Watch out or she'll stink ya!

They are all ready!

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween!! Talk to you all soon.............

Has it really been 3 months!!??

WOW!! It has been forever since I last posted! So this will probably be the longest post in blogging history but oh well. Oh and I won't have any pictures on this post because my sweet Avah found my camera and tried to flush it down the toilet so the camera is currently out of commission! Well since my last post we have moved to snowflake and are liking it so far. Shane had a scare at his job and we thought he was getting laid off but later found out his position is safe. Thank goodness! Mylee started 1st grade in August and she loves it and is making friends fast. She misses all her friends and cousins in Holbrook but she likes it at her new school too. She is doing very well in school too. She just got into the accelerated reading program and she got a perfect report card of course. She is such a good girl! The rest of the girls are doing good too. Moriah is about to turn 3 and I just cannot believe how fast time flys! She is growing up so quickly! She is excited for pre school next year. (and we are too!) :) Avah is growing really fast and she is starting to talk and it is so much fun. She loves her sisters and she loves following them around and getting into things. They are all excited for Halloween. Mylee is going to be a skunk(I tried talking her out of it but no luck!) :) Riah is going to be a bumblebee ballerina and Avah is going to be a dinosaur. Hopefully we have a new camera by then!! Well I guess that's about it. I am going to be better at this blogging thing, I promise. Hope all is well with everybody and I will try to post pictures of the girls in their costumes. Love you all!
