Playing in The Sand

OK I know there are a lot of pics, but aren't they funny?? LOL

Brandon is butt-naked in the one with a ton of tattoo's, thanks to Ginger Mom! This was taken the day after Ginger Boy's 3rd birthday party, where she had Toy Story tattoo's for all the kids, you can notice Serena has one on her arm, but only one! Brandon was the last kid to get a tattoo, so she gave him 3!

Serena & Brandon's Halloween!

Serena, Serena and Brandon all went trick-or-treating on Saturday on the Boulevard at all the shops. It was so much fun! I loved seeing all the kids dressed up and I didn't take a picture of one, I know, I suck...

I couldn't leave out Ginger Girl and Serena, I mean Minni Mouse and Spider Woman!

and my very own Ginger Pirate! You can hardly tell, but he has an owie on his lip, on the left side. He fell off a chair at dinner with his family on Friday night, luckily he didn't need stitches.

Here are some shots of the kids that I just had to post!

Serena and Brandon all ready for trick-or-treating!

I know, there are a lot of shots that I really didn't need to post, but I have family that are out-of-state that like seeing pics of the kids :)

I hope you all had a safe and Happy Halloween!

Someone is Learning to Swim!

Serena has started swim lessons.

They are on Saturdays. She loves them! Her class is small, just her, Gwen and Gavin. I like it this way because the kids really get the one -on-one attention they really need from the teacher.

She is a Sea Horse! How cute is that? I really think she will be swimming by the end of her lessons. She has no fear of the water and always has a huge smile on her face when she is in the water.

Hayden learned to swim when he was 4 or 5 and Kylie learned when she was 3. I think my children are part fish! They all love the water and none of them have ever been scared, thank goodness! Especially since my parents have a pool.

It will be nice to go over and swim at Grandma and Pop's this summer and to have one less kid to worry about! :)

Friday Fragments

Here is Brandon in sunglasses....thinking he is a movie star! Oh he is so cute! He is now starting to potty-train! I am so excited! He goes before bedtime and when he wakes up. I try to have him go before nap time and when he wakes up.....so soon he will be in underware!

Couldn't resist putting in a pic of Serena! I can hardly believe she is going to be going to school in the Fall...

~~~

My cousin's granddaughter is going to start a kick boxing class run by Chuck Liddell! I think that is awesome for her! She is going through some major changes in her life and might need an outlet, so this is perfect!

I finally made my sign for the van: Get off your cell! I want to live! I cut out hearts earlier this week and I kept one for myself and put this on it! My 15 yr old daughter said she wouldn't ride in the van with me if I was really going to "flash it to drivers"...I am all for talking on the phone, but use a headset! already! I am really down on people talking on the phone while driving because I was almost hit while pulling my kids in the wagon one day, so I am bitter!

~~~

I want to shout out to my Ginger Parents! Happy 8th Wedding Anniversary to them! I think wedding anniversary's are wonderful, just as great as weddings, so I am happy they went out to dinner to celebrate! :)

The Lakers are playing in the playoffs as I type! I can hardly do my blog. I am a Kobe lover and I love the Lakers, too! They are still loosing :(

We have a long driveway. It will hold about 4 cars in a row...so, if I am out and about and Daddy comes home, I park behind him and block his car...so some mornings I have to move my van so he can go to work...I don't like doing this when the little ones are sleeping because I am scared they might go out the front door looking for us and go to the drive way and I won't see them (You get the picture). I had to move my van this morning. Brandon was awake and didn't want to stay in the house, so I took him with me. Serena woke up just before I came in the house and was sitting on the couch with huge ploppin' tears in her beautiful big brown eyes...she thought I left her home alone! Poor kid! I told her the minute I saw her, I was moving the van and she should have looked out the window (I noticed the blinds then, and she had looked out them) and she said she did but didn't see me. I sat and hugged my little girl and rocked her back and forth telling her over and over again, I will never leave you! She told me she looked all over the house, in all the bedrooms and even the closets! How horrible to feel abandoned!

My husband recently purchased an I touch...it is cool. You can download music and search the internet...he loves it. He wants me to love it. He wants to buy me one. I just don't think I would use it and appreciate it like he does. My daughter also has one...she is on that thing all the time. I would prefer a laptop....something I would definitely use and appreciate!
