For my birthday I got my craft room decorated. I haven't finished accessorising it yet, that is why the shelves are still empty, but I plan on bring in more pink and a bulletin board in front of my sewing machine. Doesn't it look great?
I'm 30!
I just turned 30. I heard they are the best years. I feel like it is about time since Brandon has been here for a while now and I do have 3 kids. I just got called to the young women's as the 2nd councilor. I have been on the Enrichment board for the past 5 years so it will be a nice change, but I will miss Relief Society. I haven't been doing any quilting since I had the baby and I was thinking it about time to get started on a new project. Lately, I have been very busy with my new calling and the kids fall sports just started up. Plus they have been off track all month, I was thinking the other day how I feel like I am cleaning up all day and I realized it is because the kids are home all day making messes. They will go back to school next week. I love being home with my kids and even among all the mess I enjoy having them around. They are constantly saying funny things that make me laugh.
Disneyland
We just took the kids to Disneyland for the morning (that is what is great about season passes, you can go for a few hours and when it gets busy you leave). Brandon took the kids on Star Tours for their first time (they are both in love with everything Star Wars right now, they spend hours together playing "Star Wars" with their action figures. Matt always wants to be Princess Leia. Good or bad?) We also met up with some friends and went of a few rides with them. They loved it and want to go again soon.
Ten Years!
Brandon and I just celebrated our anniversary. We went to Catalina Island for 2 days while Brandon's parents stayed with the kids (even the baby). We had a great time kayaking, snorkeling (at least Brandon did) and getting spa treatments.
All about Kate
Kate has had quite a summer so far. She had her dance recital in July and had so much fun and did a great job. She just started a new dance school in just ballet. She loves to dance and is doing great at it.
Just before her 7th birthday she got her first loose tooth. I tried to get it out before she turned 7, but she didn't like me wiggling it. So she lost her first tooth just after her 7th birthday with me holding her down wiggling her tooth back and forth till it came out.
For her birthday she invited two friends, Brianna and Isabella, to go to the American Girl Store in downtown LA. Grandma gave her money for her birthday to buy an American Girl that looks just like her. We had lunch at the Cafe and then shopped. She was so silly during lunch she kept saying "We're fashion models and we don't drink out of straws" or other things that fashion models do and don't do. The girls had a lot of fun and Kate keeps asking to go back.
Our sweet Annie
Annie is changing so fast. We are having so much fun with her. She will be 9 months in a couple of days. She got her first 2 teeth about the same time last month. She sits and plays really well and a has been scooting around for a couple of weeks. A couple of days ago she started crawling. She hasn't done it much since the first day, but she does move all over the place mostly backwards. She can go from laying down to sitting up all by herself. I have been doing baby sign language to her and she will say all done when she is done eating and last night she waved bye bye to Grandma and Grandpa. She says dada, but I don't thinks she knows that it means daddy yet. Most everything she says starts with da. She saids diedie when she waves bye bye. Matt still can't keep his hands off her and she is starting to get annoyed by him. She pushes him away when he is in her face too much. She is such a pleasant little girl.
New Year of School
We are year round here so the kids started school in July and they off track for the month of August (a little strange to go to school for one month, but o well). Matt started Kindergarten and loves going to school everyday. He has a little bit of trouble sitting still for so long, but he is learn so much. I can't believe how much he already knows. Kate loves school and was so excited to start 2nd grade. Getting her to do homework is so easy because she loves it so much. Let hope that never changes.
