Alaina's Birthday Dinner

Saturday was Alaina's birthday, so we took her to Target to spend the $10 that she got from Grandma Dorny and then she chose to eat at Chili's. All that day she kept asking us when everyone was coming over to give her presents. Apparently she forgot that she requested that we celebrate her birthday next week when we are with the rest of the family for Thanksgiving. So, we wanted to go out and do something special for her birthday.

Alaina has been asking for Aquadots for the last 3 years for Christmas. Well, last year we thought that she was finally old enough to have them and then found out right before Christmas time that they were poisonous. So she didnt get them last year either. They have now come out with a new version that apparently does not have the "date rape" drug in it so she chose to spend her birthday money on that. She is very excited about her PIXOS!

And so is Dawson?

Awww yes, there is the sweet boy that I know and love!

My Crazy Azie!

The birthday Girl

Lovin her Chili's!

Now their just gettin crazy.....

A few too many sips of Daddy's coke!

This was Alaina's birthday dessert from the restaurant.

We sang Happy Birthday and then out of habit she blew on the cherry stem like it was a candle. Everyone had a pretty good laugh about that.

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY ALAINA! We love you sooo much!

All about Alaina

Alaina is getting ready to start the second grade this year. She had an amazing year in the first grade with a great teacher. Alaina has been blessed to have her move up to the second grade as her teacher again . She couldnt be more excited about it. I am so proud of her, but also so sad to see her growing up so fast. She is a sweet, shy and very loving girl. She loves to camp at the beach and in the woods. I couldnt get her out of the water this summer at Lake Powell. Her favorite past time right now is doing puzzles and drawing. She loves to read in bed before falling asleep. I catch her in there all the time with a book open trying to sneak some reading instead of sleep. I think she has a bit of an artistic side to her too. She can draw better than I can and always fills the entire page with color. There is never a white spot when she is finished. She loves animals, especially the runts of the litters. She always names those as her favorites. She is just an all around big hearted girl and we love her!

All about Aislyn

Aislyn is going into the First Grade this year and couldnt be more excited or ready. She had a wonderful year in Kindergarten and absolutely fell in love with her teacher Mrs. Barganier. She is an outgoing, loving, funny, sassy, and extremely smart little girl. She brings so much joy and laughter into our home. She is a sassy little thing with the quickest come backs and outlook on life. She is always looking at things outside of the box. I just love it! She recently told me that she made a wish on a shooting star that she would be famous and be on magazines. She wanted me to take her to Target so she could check the magazines and see if it came true. Aislyn loves her family, her friends, school and church. I love watching her grow and learn and am anxious to see what amazing things she will do with her life. We love her so much!

All about Dawson

Dawson is my "Little Man". He has a deep raspy little man voice and walks around the house like a stud. He loves his baseball bats and swords. He has lost them on several occasions for using them for evil instead of good. :-) He loves his trucks and tractors that go everywhere with him, even to bed. He is going into his second year of Preschool and will be starting Kindergarten in 2011. I cant believe how fast he is growing up. He is the sweetest, funniest, most laidback boy ever. He loves his mommy so much and tells me regularly. "Mom, I like you and love you" He loves and adores his sisters! He definitely gets a little rough with them sometimes but plays very well along with them. He gives the best hugs and kisses and I just dont know what I would do without him. We love him so much!
