"10 cents per pile"

I'm not sure how old Lar and I are, but we were at my grandmas house and they gave us a dime for each pile of horse doo doo, we took this very seriously as you can see by the look on Larisa's face, and we thought we were pretty cool, as you can see by the look on my face.After we got about $3.00 we walked about 2 miles to the speedway grocery. It didn't turn out to be such a fun walk after all, and we called to get a ride home to no avail.

Isabelle is turning 6

Well, we have had a very busy weekend, Isabelle invited 11 of her friends over to our house for an old fashioned birthday party, it was alot of fun, we played musical chairs, "hot candy cane"(just like hot potato)and a few more fun ones.



This was a Christmas themed party, so Sunshine and I ( I can't take all the credit )made these cupcakes and made them into a christmas tree, it was very cute.I took a picture of each girl as she arrived and put her photo into a picture frame ornament and sent it home in her goody bag.The party was a big hit! I had been planning it since about October, and Suni helped me so much with everything.


Maddy & Suni got her this cabbage patch girl , her name is Lexi Aimee, and Iz raised her right hand & took the pledge to be a good mommy ( it says all this on thebirth certificate) and later, she said she was really sad & wanted to know how long Lexi had to live in a box before she got her.It was really cute, I told her it was like being in a mommy's tummy and Lexi liked it.







She got alot of make-up too, which after all the games were winding down the girls had a "make-over" with her doing everyones make-up.
Tonight we went to Plaza Jalisco with my mom & dad for Iz 's 2nd party so they would sing happy b-day in spanish while she wears a sombrero and got whip cream in her face, she thought this was so great, and that she was so cool, and told Ryan "I'm a teenager, I'm 52!"Tomorrow will be her 3rd and final party with the Myers at Dirty Daves, oh yea, and cupcakes tomorrow at school, this will bring the total amount of cupcakes made at my house in 2 days to about 65. What are we going to do for Dyl's birthday in March?

Younger days

I am making a calender for my mom and dad for Christmas and have been scanning in tons of old phots, here aare some of my faves.I believe Kari and Kelly were on their first day of school, Kari says she was dropping her books.So funny.I must have been about 6 in this one below.

















This one is me & Nicci in the 7th grade, the day my mom let us skip school and go to town instead. Do you still have the
other half of these Nic?

Old photos

These are some roles of film I just found and had developed, I forgot how "thick" Izzy actually was.Dyl looks a little wild of course.

Izzy got some fancy new moon boots, that lit up on the bottoms, she wore the heck out of them.

My mom,Kari & Kelly obviously in the early 80's.I remember that dress of my moms I loved it,the front had fringe feathers and beads hanging off of it.

Myers family photo

Heres our family photo, I think it turned out pretty good, as far as pics go of me, I don't hate it.

Snow day

The kids finally got a "snow day", they got to stay home from school today, it was fun, they go out get freezing then come in for some hot cocoa. They played pretty good together,(no crying) Grammy was the only casualty, who took a snowball to the eye at close range from Dyl, she wasn't too happy.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

Less than two hours after losing her first front tooth, the other one was hanging on by a thread, so she let her brother have atry at pulling it out-it didn't work,but eventually it just fell out.The Tooth Fairy came last night for two teeth and left her quite a pile of quarters overflowing out of her tooth holder.I woke up this morning to Iz yelling, "Mom, my brother was right, the tooth fairy did leave me alot of money, he said she wouldn't be able to fit all of it in,He is so smart!"How nice when they get along like that!

The Tooth Fairy is coming!

Izzy lost her front tooth tonight.Both front ones are very loose, and she let me pull out the one that was barely hanging on.now her only front tooth left is pushed over to the middle like a snaggle tooth.

Thank-you

Today I asked Iz to do me favor and I said "thank-you" and she said "your pleasure mom". I thought that was really cute and that I would just share that.
