2009 was a good year!!!

I wanted to remember all of my fun event's we had in 2009... What a great year and I have so much to be thankful for. I have an awesome husband and 3 beautiful healthy kids. I am so lucky to have such a fun family who we all love to spend time with...

I am anxious to see what 2010 brings I hope it's as good as last year... We have made a huge change and I hope that it's a good thing for our family. I know I am going to support Shawn no matter what so here is to a new year!!!

There is defiantly a picture over load I started with a few of my favorites and then went crazy!!!

Shawn's new attire!!!

Ever since Shawn started doing Aflac the first time in Mesquite, I tease him!!! I think the only reason he likes this job is because he gets to dress up... Ok maybe I might be a exaggerating a little but I just like to mess with him... He had to buy a dark suit for a meeting, and had fun trying a bunch of different one's on. He ended up getting 2 because it was buy one get one free, I don't think that was really the case but WHATEVER...

When he brought them home he had to try them on, he was so funny I couldn't resist getting my camera out. Shawn is such a pretty boy and I always tease him about it!!!!I do have to say he does looked really good, I have enjoyed seeing him all dressed up everyday!!!

I love you Babe!!!

Gavin's Party!!!

We decided to have Gavin's b-day party at this super fun park, especially cause my apt. is waaaay to small... Sydney and Emma had fun climbing...

This swing was a hit with all the kids. Madison and Presley wanted to take turns swinging with Gavin, He has 2 sweet girlfriends.

Emma always looks like a dork when I take her picture lately!!We had pizza, it was getting dark so we had to hurry. I did a normal Mindy thing: he got to the pizza place to pick it up and they didn't have our pizza, I guess I ordered from the wrong town oop's I wasn't paying attention to the flier. Shawn had to wait an extra 20 min for the pizza...

We decided to go back to Brett and Rachel's house to open presents and eat some cake!!!

Taz Manion Devil: While he was opening his presents he was seriously going so fast that you could hardly see what he got. You would have thought he didn't care what he opened. After he opened all of them he did go and see what everything was so I felt better about that...

I had to make my first birthday cake this year Gma Sarah always makes the cakes. I did use her recipe for it, and it turned out super yummy... I did miss all the help with everything, Thank goodness for good family members...

The kids added a few candles!!!

I hope it's a good wish Buddie!!!

Thanks Gma Sarah and Gpa Lyle for the presents he got a skateboard, outfit, some tools, and of course they always put money is his account thanks again!!! Thanks to his dad he no longer has a skate board, he was trying to do some tricks like he was cool. I guess he's just to big for a little boys skate board...Thanks Gma Collette, Gpa Dave, and Gma Sue for the blocks, and money. He got some of these blocks for Christmas and has had so much fun with them...

Thanks Madison for the ball's, paint, and Gum!!!

Gavin and Presley love playing play dough, so thanks for my own set!

Andrea and Jenna sent him a gift card so on Saturday we went and let him pick out something, he got another truck. I guess I never let my kids pick toys out in the store he didn't really know what to do... Staci sent something in the mail Gavin is excited about getting that...

What a fun Birthday this turned out to be, we were lucky to have the Bigelow's, Shakespears, and the Webb kids to celebrate his Birthday. We sure did miss everyone else that usually comes, but thanks for all of the presents...

Gavin goes to pre-school!!!

This is Gavin's new teacher for pre-school, Mrs. Wallaert. She is really nice and he enjoys going to school all except the coloring part. He came home and said "I just don't want to go to school any more" We said why, he said "I just don't like to color it's too hard." He has decided that he does like it and he enjoys going with Presley. It's a little longer here 2 days a week and 5 hours long, they take a pillow and blanket and get to have quiet time.

I was going to keep him home play with him, and help him on his learning. Until he kept saying I want something to do. I think he missed going to school and just being around other kids. I decided it was good for him to make some friends and get out a little...

Thanks Mom!!!

Thanks mom for this Bosch now I just have to use it. Which now that I can't go to there house for good mashed potatoes, yummy cake, or cookies. I guess I just have to start making my own. Since it was Gavin's birthday the Bosch came out twice... I made Marianne's yummy sugar cookies, and I also made Gma Sarah's cake which, she always does chocolate but I did vanilla. It was still super good! I can't make any more dessert's for a while, I think I have gained a few pounds. Oh well I will just have to try some bread or something else in it.

So if anyone has any good bread recipes send them my way!!!

Notice the cabinet's in the background, I know you want them in your house LOL!!! It's an apartment and it's temporary, I will not complain...

I guess Gavin liked the cookies that we made, he was the first one to try them out...

Park time!!!

Our walk to the park, Rachel told the kids every time she said Freeze, that means stop. This is a Freeze pose, yeah Emma is a weirdo!

Tray is so cute in this picture, this slide was really tall. He pushed all the kids down and would laugh so hard, he never did go down.

I love this picture besides all the snot.

This is the most I have ever gone to park's but the kids have enjoyed it. They ask to go almost every day, oh well I guess it's something to do.

Playing in the leafs!!!

There were lot's of leaf's outside of the Bigelow's house. The kids had so much fun jumping in and then raking them back into a pile. And of course it's always a picture moment for me.

She act's like they are hurting her, what a mess.

This is my favorite picture of the day, Presley making her wish!
