Happy Birthday Alayna

Our Little girl will be 4 tomorrow. It goes by so fast. I remeber being in the hospital with her like it was yesterday with the snow storm that we had but yet my sister came up with me for the day and sat with me and that was about it. Ty was up to but not for the whole day. Not many visitors that day at all. Alescia and I had a photo shoot with her and just hung out watching the snow. The day she was born was a surprise for me when I was just getting ready for that c-section and Ty says her middle name should be Nicole so I agreed not wanting to argue about it at that time. I had quite some upset people with me that her middle name was not K but that is alright her name fits her quite right.

She has turned in to quite a little girl and very girly. Loves clothes and shoes for sure. She helped me make cupcakes tonight of course we have princess cupcake liners and pink frosting on them. And for her b-day cake I will be attempting to make the barbie doll cake. This should be fun.

Wow

Ok So I guess that I have forgotten about the blog for quite sometime but we have been busy this fall and now that Christmas is done maybe it will be easier. I have started a new buisness with Uppercase living. I have this in our house and just love it and it is something that I can be creative with and do new things with the product. Ty helped me last weekend but a huge one behind the couch. That was fun..

Alayna is still doing her gymnastics and is loving that. She would really like to take dance also but I just have not found anywhere for that yet.

Trenton is just hanging out right now. No sports right now just been playing with his new DS and doing homework. They are doing lots of reading and math and writing. He is improving so much it is really exciting to see that all happen.

Ty is still working with Notions but just had an interview for a position at Spectrum for a material handler. He was in the top 6 of 150 applicants. That is great news so we are hoping and crossing our fingers that he will get that. This will at least get him in the door and then he can apply for the internal postings that come open.

I have just been working and that is going well. Trying to scrapbook more and just spend time with the kids and Ty. Trying to get healthy and lose some weight you know everyones new years resolution.

We will try to stay caught up.

Fall Day at Frog Hollow

We took the kids to the park a few weeks ago ya know when it was nice out. I was trying to get a good picture of the two of them together but Trenton was not up for the posing picture taking. Alayna was all about it and wanted her picture taken everywhere. Alayna is doing the monkey bars all by herself I guess gymnastics may be paying off.

Rollar Skating Pictures

These are a bit dark but oh well. Alayna thinks she can do this all by herself now.

Halloween 2008

Alayna of course was Sleeping Beauty and Trenton a pirate. Lots of fun with Trentons school party and then a long day of running to Nana's work and then had more than enough candy. Went out trick or treating with Nana and Dad then met up with Trenton's buddy bobby from school and their family so then I went with them for a while.

Rollar Skating

My mom and I took the kids to the Byron Center Rollar Rink today. My cousins have been going with their kids so I thought oh that sounds like fun and we have to do something anyways Ty has to paint the ceiling today. So we get our skates and Alayna was all over the place. Trenton started out little rusty and then he was flying around the rink. It was fun and a bit of exercise at the same time which is needed. The kids had a lot of fun and want to go back. I am sure that my legs will be feeling it tomorrow. That will be good. Pictures will be coming soon of this event.

Obie Update

Well Ty took Obie to the Vet earlier this week and she is now almost 4lbs that it awesome sine when we got her she was about 1.5 lbs. She is really good and been good for the kids except when she is not wanting to be picked up by Alayna and she gets mad at her about it.
