Twilight!!

I finished it. I bought the book Wednesday, and would have finished it Wednesday if i didn't have kids but you know how that is. I was balancing being a single mom, and babysitting, and parties, and all the stuff i had to do. But i got it read. I loved it, and my parents are at target getting me "New Moon" I am so into the books. I thought how stupid is it that people are so into this book about Vampires, but i now see why. I love it. It you have not read it you should. It is great.

I found out today that me and the kids are going to Disneyland the first weekend in November. I can not wait for Ashlynn to see Tinkerbell and go on the peter pan ride. She is so into peter pan right now. We leave Friday, and come home Monday. we are going to the beach which i don't think my kids have ever been (sad I know). We are going to have a great weekend, and we are sad that dad cant come.

Games we played at the party.

The kids doing a pumpkin sack race. Aslynn would not participate in the games but......

....Her dad did. He was being wrapped up like a mummy and then he had to run to a spot to win. He won.

The Afro!!

I think the pictures do all the talking.

The Dragonsaur

We keep on making the mistake of what his costume is. Scott calls it a dinosaur, and the tag says it is a Dragon, and so i call him a dragon. Well Aslynn now calls him a "Dragonsaur". She like to play it safe. Smart girl.

Tinker Bell

Aslynn is Tinker Bell for Halloween. The Wilkins had a family Halloween Party and I thought I would share some pictures from that.

BOO HOO!!!!

I just had to post this udderly pathetic picture of my little Anyston on a really bad day. Am I the only one laughing at this picture? She looks so upset. I'm not really sure what caused this fit, but it was sure funny. Don't you ever have those moments where your kids are falling apart and it takes everything you got to hold back your laughter? I have moments like that. Katie, if this ruins your beautiful site, take it off and put a better one up!
Miss ya!

The pictures to go with the last blog!

Here are my angels
So here is the kids and I new toy. We take it out every morning for our walk. I love it, it was the best investment i have made in a long time. Other than school.

This blog is for Denise 8-)

Okay well apparently I am not posting enough, and that would simply be because not much is going on in our life. Scott leaves at 6:15am every morning, and gets home around 9pm. So it really sucks. That leaves me with the kids all day without a car, and nothing to do. However the kids and i have started walking 2.5 miles everyday, and they love it. Well i guess i do to. I was going to post some pictures, but blogger is having issues. Scott and I got called to nursery, and I am also working as an enrichment board member. Got to love nursery. I am actually in Coleton's class and that works out since he hates nursery.

Scott is getting a 4.0 right now and i am so proud of him. He is working really hard on the good grades, so we have a better chance of getting accepted. Midwestern is a VERY competitive school. So we are stressing just a little. I am trying my very hardest to be the best wife to my husband. Which is not very hard cause he is never home.

The kids are doing great Coleton is talking so much, and Ashlynn is doing okay on her potty issues. I am sure it will just take time to get it completely down. But for the most part she is doing good.

Sorry for not posting sooner, but i promise nothing fun is really going on. We are just chillin in AZ, and it has cooled off to the 80's, and our morning walks are in the 60's which makes it really nice. I promise i will be posting more the next couple of months. We are going to the pumpkin patch. We have a family Halloween party, and my sister is coming in town. So there should be lots of things to post in the next few months. Not to mention Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

New Bunk Beds

The kids got new beds cause i got a screaming deal on them. I was on craigslist one of my favs. someone had posted bunk beds for $300 and so i looked at the add. they were exactly what i was looking for. He was including the mattresses, the linens, the bunky boards, and the bunk beds. I thought to myself i don't think i would use the linens but i will call and inquire. I called the gentleman, and he started to tell me that he had bought them for his grandchildren, and they have only been slept in twice. so i told him that we wanted to come look at them. So my dad and i left on the adventure of checking out these bunk beds. after a long drive out to North Scottsdale (a really nice part of town) we arrive at this guys house. Looking at the bunk beds we decided to purchase them. Saves us on taxes, and having to buy linens. So we gave the gentleman $300 and stated to load up. Comes to find out that the linens are all Pottery Barn Kids linens retailing for $170 a set. That in and of its self is a good deal. Only problem is they are all fire truck linens, as you all know my little girl cant sleep with fire trucks on her bed. So we flipped it inside out. At least until i find something i like. Then I just had to ask the guy where they bought them from just in case in the future i need to replace anything. He reply was Robb and Stucky (a high class furniture store) So being curious i decided to check it out on the Internet. Just want to make sure i got a good deal. The exact bunk beds were $900 on the web site. Then the mattresses are really high quality. The guy that we bought them from had his house on the market for $4.9 million. The house was amazing.

Needless to say i got a screaming deal. I just had to share cause i am so happy. The kids have been sleeping very well together in the same room. So it just has worked out well.
