I wanna be a Rock Star!

All of the girls in Madison's class were invited to Chloe's 6th Birthday Party at Lollilocks Salon. Chloe decided on a Pop Star party which included the girls getting their hair done with fabulous colors and their fingernails and toenails painted. They also got to make their own sparkly lotion and lip gloss. They all had such a fun time together being girly. Chloe said she didn't invite the boys in her class because she didn't think they would like getting their hair done. She said "that would be weird!".

Shamrock Dairy Farm

Shamrock Dairy Farm

For Madison's spring break we took the girls to the Shamrock Dairy Farm. We had such a great time and the girls loved being able to see the cows up close and how a Dairy Farm actually works. They even took us on a tour around the farm and the girls were able to feed the baby calfs. I think the best part was at the end of the tour when we were able to get Shamrock Shakes and icecream..yummy!! Double click on the picture to see the whole album. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Morgan turns 4!!

I can hardly believe it...she's 4!! We celebrated last weekend when Grandma Rita was here from Texas by going out to dinner at Famous Dave's. For their special birthday treat they bring out ice cream with this huge sparkler on it. As you can see Morgan is not too sure about it. As it continues to burn she tries to blow it out thinking it is like a birthday candle. It was so cute and funny!She finally decided it was okay as you can see by her smile and soon after it burned out.

We had her birthday party the following Friday which was her actual birth day. All of her family from the Shetter side were able to come. Even her Uncle and Aunt from Washington were here. Her favorite present was a guitar from Grandpa and Grandma Shetter. Uncle Tim tuned it for her and showed her how to hold it. The next morning she woke up and went straight for her guitar and said "Mom, I am going to practice all day!"

Tooth Fairy

Well Madison lost her 1st baby tooth! We were thinking we might have to take her to the dentist because her permanent tooth was coming in behind it. I finally had to resort to telling her that the dentist would have to put a shot in it to get it out and that seemed to convince her that maybe letting mom do it might be the better choice. So after getting her stuffed animal "puppy" which she has had since she was born, she clung to it tightly and within about 5 seconds I had it out. There was some crying involved afterward however I believe that was just from being scared that it was going to hurt and not that it actually did. It was so loose it was flapping in the wind. We were able to get some video after the event so we hope you enjoy. I might also mention that it is hard to tell from the video but Madison was actually very excited the morning after the tooth fairy came.

Surprise!!

Well Nate pulled one off! He threw a surprise 30th Birthday Party for me and I was completely shocked!! I still can't figure out how he managed to get everyone together without me figuring it out. Of course like any good surprise he had some accomplices to throw me off. One of which was Elisabeth. She wanted to take me shopping for my birthday and knew I would not say no to that! So we went out for a while on Saturday and returned back to my in-laws home around 6pm. When I opened the door everyone yelled "Surprise!" and in my head I was thinking "for me?". What a great night we had. I still can't believe it happend to me. I thought I would be the person who would always figure it out!

"Don't tell mom but this hot dog is yummy!!"

Nate's cousin Holly and her family came in from California for Thanksgiving. Maddie and Morgan were surprised to learn they had more cousins to play with. Morgan decided Wyatt was a lot of fun to play with. He is the one in the camo shirt.

Caitlin is in my Chemistry class. She is holding John who belongs to Mike and Lindsay Tice in the above picture. I was so glad she could make it to the party. She has been a great study partner and friend!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Fall Festival

Well although it does not seem like fall in Phoenix we had to at least dress like it. Maddie had a cute fall dress to wear this year that Grandma Rita bought last year. She wore it to school and all the teachers remarked about how cute it was. At her school they were not aloud to dress up for Halloween so that is what she wore.

Morgan dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. With her red hair I just think she looked so cute!

Maddie wanted to be a doctor this year. I am actually surprised she waited this long to be one since she plays doctor everyday. I think she might be a surgeon one day because she really enjoyed cleaning out her pumpkin and making sure every bit of it was out. She also informed me she did not need help in doing so either.

Our friends Julia and Drew met us at Nate's parents church for their fall festival. The girls had a great time petting the farm animals and jumping in the bounce houses. Ian was dressed as a Elephant and was just the cutest ever!!

The girls of course got more candy than we will ever eat. I am sure by this time next year we will still have some.
