Sara turned 6 years old on Sept. 13, 2011. It's been so much fun to watch her grow up and become the sweet little girl that she is!! She was so super excited for this birthday she could hardly stand herself!! And that evening Read and I had a hard time being able to stand her also as she waited a whole two hours from when she got home until the party started and Adam, Megan, Addison, and Mesa joined us to celebrate her birthday! We had Navajo tacos for dinner ( I made frybread!!) and cake and ice cream for dessert. All at Sara's request! She got to where a Happy Birthday Crown all evening so everyone knew she was our birthday princess. (not that she would let anyone forget that it was her birthday) We also decorated the house and got her some special birthday balloons!! When she walked in she was so happy the house was decorated for her, she had told Dad on the way home she knew the house would be decorated because it was her birthday... Dad told her that Mom didn't decorate the house so for the walk home she was a little disappointed until she walked in and saw that Dad was just teasing!! We can't wait to see what another year will bring with our little princess!! 
Haylee lately has just been happy Haylee. She is adjusting very well to going to preschool and loves that she is big enough to be in school. We drop her off at school every morning and just the other day she told me " Mom I know where mt classroom is when I go in to go to school, you don't need to walk me there anymore, I am a big kid and can walk by myself." So mom had to step back and just let her out of the car and she takes off into the school being a big kid!!! As happy as I am that she is a "Big Kid" I hate that she doesn't need me as much anymore! 
These two already seem to be so close and can't live without each other. Its so fun to watch Tiffanie with Read she is always making sure he is happy and taken care of, she always makes sure whoever has Read has a burp cloth for him and if he starts crying she is right there kissing him and trying to make him happy!!! Read loves her attention although sometimes I wonder why. But he always smiles when he sees Tiffanie coming for him!!! This is how they spend most of their time together unless Tiffanie is lying on top of him in his face while he is in the bouncer!!
Daddy put Tiffanie's bow in Read's hair both Read and Tiffanie thought this was pretty funny!! (I don't think he will think it's that funny when he gets older!)
Tiffanie was trying to prove to us that she is not chubby!! She can make that belly of hers disappear!!
Haylee's first day of Preschool! She was so excited for preschool and couldn't wait until it was time to take her to school!! She is so big now I can't believe she is in preschool!! She has loved going to school this last week and has made some new friends of her own, ( although she doesn't know anyone's name other than her teacher) She has also been a good help with Tiffanie in the afternoons.
At home before we left to go to her first day of school Haylee is playing the big sister like Sara did to her on her first day of school!! Tiffanie was sad to see her go, it's a good thing she spends most of the time Haylee is gone napping!!
Sara was super excited for her first day of school! Haylee was happy for her too, but had a hard time with her sister being gone all day! Especially since she didn't start
On one of the last days of summer before they started school Dad took Sara and Haylee fishing at Farmington Lake. They fished for about 5 min. then got bored and moved on to playing with the worms Dad had bought as bait ( I don't think they understood that part) Because they thought the worms needed a new home that was not in the container but in the sand there at the lake!! Although this fishing trip did not turn out like Dad would have liked (he didn't catch any fish) they all had fun and enjoyed their time together!! ( and gave mom a great break at home!!)
At our house teeth have been the center of everything lately. from Tiffanie getting 3 new teeth and bringing her total number of teeth to 9 to Sara loosing her very first tooth!! Sara cried when she first found that her tooth was loose and was terrified to have it come out because it was going to hurt so much!! But after about 5 hours of talking to her she calmed down some and started to get excited about loosing her first tooth. Of course Dad still had to pull her tooth without her knowing he did it until it was over but once it was out she was smiling and excited to put this tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy!! Who by the way paid big for this tooth, a whole dollar!! I must admit that I cried when I saw her loose tooth, and again when it came out. I love her so much and love to see her growing up, it's just so sad that it has to happen so fast!! We are so proud of our toothless girl!! Read loves hearing her talk and can't wait for more to come out so she can really sound funny!! (he's a great dad!) 
Tiffanie my little monkey. She was getting impatient with me because I had not gotten her a plate for her dinner yet so she tried to get it herself!!
Read is growing way too fast!! He will be two months old next week! It's crazy how time flies! He is such a great baby. The girls already spoil him and Tiffanie has now discovered her talent of picking on him when he is trying to sleep!
Eating Again!!!
Tiffanie our little Peguin!! Or as Sara and Haylee like to call her "Mumbo" ( from Happy Feet) Tiffanie was going to be a little Pumpkin Fairy (also a very cute costume) but this was warmer and everyone here liked the Peguin idea better so she's "Mumbo"!! 
We did pumpkin carving again this year!! All the girls had a tom of fun doing it but Jr. didn't get to excited about it, hopefully next year he will! Sara and Haylee cleaned out their pumpkins and picked the picture they wanted on the front and then left the rest to me and well Tiffanie was no help at all I did everything for her!! My wish for next year is that the kids can do their own design without passing that on to me but either way, we had a ton of fun and the pumpkins look great!!!
