Christmas Pics take 1

We had our first set of Christmas pics taken today. We will be doing more on another day. We were losing daylight fast, so we did what we could. Melanie was wonderful to do these for us. Enjoy!
The two girls.
Ariana
The Boys
Kids being kids

This is one of many family pics taken...but I didn't want to post too many...

Ariana, isn't she beautiful!
Noah Nutball.......being a nutball!
Aiden John.....one of the only ones with him smiling. He was Mr. Serious today.
Jinelle crinkling up her nose like usual. There are so many cute ones, all with different expressions from her. She is such a ham!!!

I know its a bit early....

Today, at 4:30 p.m., we are taking Christmas pics. I know its early, not even Halloween yet, but I am so excited. I have my kids Christmas outfits and my dear friend, Melanie, is gracious enough to take some pics. We are heading over to Mojave Narrows to try to get some outdoor shots, fun, action type. I don't want to do the traditional Sear's posed shots as much this year. I think fun shots will be a great change. So, look for lots of Pics to be posted soon. She is awesome awesome awesome. (Check out her blog to see some of the pics she has taken of her kids and of friends just because. It's the Melanie & Joe link under friends and family) I can't wait to see how great they all turn out. Oh, and Melanie, if you are reading this. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Crazy Hair Day

Today is crazy hair day at Cypress. Here is pics of the kids hair! We were super crazy! Hopefully, it comes out easily for their parties tonight!

Noah and Jinelle's Soccer is soccer

Well, Saturday was Jinelle and Noah's last soccer games. They both ended the season with great games. Noah played his last game. We killed this team. I felt so bad because it was the leagues Board members team. One of their High School daughter's was the coach and she basically played with them and taught them nothing. We were up 5 to 0 in the first quarter. I asked one of them what we are supposed to do (you are only supposed to be up by six goals) and they said we were fine. We pulled our scorers back and then le tthe game go on. Here is a pic of Noah's team and then Noah with the triplets. He looks a lot like them....almost like they could be quads!

Jinelle scored five goals. Her team totally controlled the game. With tiny tots, they either want to play or don't. Our entire team is a want to play team. The other team only had one little girl who actually played, therefore, we killed them. Here is a pic of Jinelle scoring.

We had a great season. Today we have Aiden and Ari's team party and tomorrow, Noah and Jinelle's Team parties. I will try to post pics of them. Aiden and Ari have one more game! Wish them luck!!! I would love to be able to keep all these kids on my team forever. We had a great season with these teams. I will truly miss these kids. Hopefully we can keep in contact with most of them.

Had a Blast

Jinelle had a blast at the Halloween party. There were so many kids. Jinelle only knew Elle, but she was okay. All the kids were from their ward at church, and we were the odd-man out, but it was still fun. The kids just ran around and played and ate. Jillian had so much food made, and the kids really had a ton of fun. We tried to get pics, but not all the kids cooperated. So the pics are just most of the kids, not all.

Jinelle's 1st Party

Today, Jinelle will be attending her first Halloween Party without her siblings. She has always been invited to parties with her brothers and sister, but today, she will be going to one while they are at school. Her friend, Elle, is having a Halloween party and she is so excited to be going. She said it's because she is a big girl. Elle's mom, Jillian, is brave. She is due to have her third baby in less than a month, yet, she is throwing a Halloween party for a bunch of pre-school age kids. It should be a blast. Here are some pics of Jinelle when we were taking the other kids to the bus. She's already all dressed up and ready to go. This costume was Jason's when he was little. His mom made it for him. Aiden wore it when he was little for Halloween, (Ari and Noah played in it, but never for Halloween) and now Jinelle is going to wear it this year for Halloween. I colored her hair a little with red spiking gel. She is so adorable!!! I will take my camera and try to get more pics of her at the party to share as well.
