Memorial weekend

A fun Sister picture.
Jade and Gemma are with Tinnielle, their cousin.
Taking a rest from hard playing,
You can't tell in this picture but jade had a tragic day, she crashed on her 4-wheeler into a tree and she scratched up her face and poked her eye, she was upset because she was sure that she was going to get a black eye....
As you can see no black eye but a pretty good scratch that goes from her eye to the back of her neck.
There were a lot of "owies" this weekend, Grandma Anaka re-opened a burn on her arm....
James got cut with a piece of flying wood, He and Mike were chopping wood for the fire pit and a piece flew up and got James on the nose, it bled a lot.... then....
James ran into a large tree stump and hurt his leg. I am putting all of the "owie" pictures on because Jade didn't want hers to be the only one.

School program

This is a cute picture of Gemma in all of her "pretty's"

Fun Pic's

So I did have to get a new camera.... But that's OK I guess.It is always hard to spend lots of money on myself, but, I am really enjoying my new one and here are some new pic's from the last few weeks... (They were not taken with my new camera.)

Gemma got to have her first ice cream cone that she didn't have to share and that wasn't a plain cone dipped in somebody elses ice cream, she thought it was great. She did get very cold however and made a huge mess, but it was fun.


Getting loves from Chris while he was in town.
Cisco's wrestling achievement banquet, Rory went with him they had dinner and a ceremony.

Gemma found "Nandy" (candy) at Rory's house.
We were watching the wolf at the Zoo.
This is a cute picture, I was outside with Roo and the jogging stroller was on the porch , she loves to go for walks so she just got in all by herself and was ready to go.

It has been a little while since I have posted anything, sorry about that.
This last week was spring break so the kids were out of school for the whole week, which was fun because I think they needed a break. We went to the Zoo on Friday with Grandma Rory, there were so many people there, I don't think I have ever seen it that busy so we only stayed for a few hours and we had a picnic. We didn't mind because I bought a Zoo pass this year, So we will be going a least a few more times.
On Saturday We went to see Grandma and Grandpa Hudson, Cisco helped Grandpa work in his garden and on the mountain and we visited then went to lunch with Grandma, we love going and spending time with them I have such wonderful memories from when I was little, and I feel that it so important for my kids to make some too! :-)
On Sunday Chris and his family came into town and surprised my mom, so we went up to see him and Jana and the kids, it was wonderful to see him, we miss him a lot, but we know it is important for him to be where he is in Kansas City.
Sorry I don't have any pictures right now, but my camera is not jiving with my computer, it is probably time to get a new one....dang it...
Cisco got his first job this week (that's not working with his dad). We are proud because he only had to put in one application and he got hired, he is going to work at the Subway by his school. He is happy about it he thinks it will be a fun job for the summer.

Easter

Every year we spend the Easter weekend with James' family up to their property in Duchesne. ( I think I spelled that right :-)
Anyway this year was no exception, we went up on Thursday and stayed through Monday. This year was a little different usually by the time Easter rolls around the snow has melted, when we got there on Thursday there was 2-3 feet of snow with 5-6 foot drifts and it wasn't fun snow it was all ice and hard. Anyway we weren't sure if we were going to be able to hold the Easter egg hunt, but it warmed up a bit on Friday and Saturday and we were able to have the hunt we go up with James' sister and her family so we always divide the area up so each kid ( there are 5) has a pretty big area to hunt for their eggs, our Easter bunny just hides plastic eggs with candy in them and a few toys and fun items. This time Cisco had to find camouflage eggs and there was only 4 and they were empty as I had the prizes for them. It took a while, like most of the day, but he was successful and managed to find them all.
Gemma had a lot of fun finding her eggs, once she figured out what she was supposed to do. Their baskets were not hidden, they were just set out on the deck, Jade got "Enchanted", and Gemma got an Eeyore stuffie, she loves Eeyore. She also got a Barney DVD, she loves Barney too.











































Here Jade is coloring her Easter eggs

Disney Princess wishes on ice...

I tried to get some pictures of the show but due to it being a digital camera I had a hard time, but it was very fun and as you can see Roo fell asleep for a few minutes, but she didn't miss much before she was awake and dancing again.


This is my "sleeping beauty"


So I should start with I am a ding bat mother ... :-) I didn't realize that this would be such a fun and special thing to take Jade to, until I kept hearing that all of my friends were taking their little girls to this show, so lucky for me I was not to late to get tickets and take them to this. They actually opened up new seats the day before I got our tickets, so I took Jade and Gemma to "Disney Princess Wishes on Ice" on Saturday & we went to the 2:30pm show. The girls had a wonderful time, and so did I. I have never been to an ice show before, they come all the time but I never thought that it would be fun, I was wrong they put on a great show and we had wonderful seats ( thanks to Grandma Rory ) we were on the 3rd row so Jade and Gemma could see everything! Jade chose an Ariel cup for her prize and it came with a snow cone in it, she also got a coloring book. The only thing that would have made it funner was if Grandma Rory could have come...Next time for sure. :-)

Our busy day

Our day started with Gemma finding a marker..... probably in Jade's room, I just had to take a picture....it was so darn naughty....then while I was wiping up marker, (and after she was cleaned up and changed) thank goodness for washable ones.....
Self imprisonment? She got stuck under this chair, while I was cleaning up the marker mess, I had to laugh and she didn't appreciate that I was taking pictures instead of rescuing...
then it was time to.... Change clothes again, while I was getting a new outfit...

Caught in the act... she tears apart the couches at least 29 times a day.....

Climbing on chairs, any chair she waits until there is a vacant one.... this picture should have been up with the other chair one.. oh well you get the idea....
Dancing with Barney naked...... She loves Barney... we had to change again...
Dancing with Barney diapered.. she is getting ready to jump here. She was having so much fun jumping and dancing. Needless to say she is a very busy girl. Yes this was just one day and does not include the lunch mess, toys, Jade's room, dumping out the hair ponies 14 times, unfolding the laundry, dancing in the dirt on the floor when I am sweeping, playing in the cat food and water, etc... because if I was taking all of those pictures then I would get nothing done all day. :-)
