My baby is 6

My baby turned six today. Where does the time go? It just seems like yesterday when she was really a baby and not a reading, talking, tumbling, sassy little girl.

This years theme was High School Musical which totally threw me off. She is my tomboy and anything girly is beyond her so when she tossed this idea at me I had no idea what to do with it. Luckily we had a gymnastics party planned (which is right up our alley) and only had to take a trip to the party store to gather key items: HSM plates, gift bags, table cloth and cupcake holders.

Other parties included lunch and doughnuts at Nana and Papa's house, McDonald's for dinner and sugar cookies with my Grandma Chris, the Mounteers, and Jeff and Kara, and sprinkle doughnuts at school for her class. These birthday's wear me out! Not to mention the sugar rush. But it's over now...just in time for Valentines Day.


Key things about Anabelle on this 10th day of February 2009:

  • Favorite color: Red "because it's the color of Utah"
  • Favorite food: pizza "cause it's so yummy"
  • Favorite movie: "that's a hard thing...The Simpson's Movie...cause Homer is funny"
  • Favorite toy: Pixos (little bead like things that stick together with water to make pictures)
  • Favorite T.V. show: Sponge Bob
  • Favorite thing to do: crafts
  • Favorite friends: Saeha Lee (neighbor and classmate) and Kiera (cousin) and Ivy (mom's BFF's daughter :)
  • Other favorite things: a pink blankie that she sleeps with every night (still), running, Littlest Pet Shops, tickle game, picking on Tre, gymnastics (especially the pit), sleeping in, playing in the snow, playing alone and riding bikes to name a few.
Enjoy the slide show of the festivities below.

"That's Classic"

Jeremy took the kids to Classic Skating for a throwback night with his friends. They used to go every Thursday back in the day. There are many memories made at Classic. I am sure you have a few, too. Good times!




What is skating without cotton candy?

Tre and Jeremy...those rollerblades Tre's wearing are mine. When did he get so big?

"Brrr, hot hot hot, brrr, hot!"

We're at it again. Sitting in the hot tub, jumping in the snow, jumping in the hot tub, laying in the snow, and jumping back in the hot tub. My kids are crazy!

Christmas in July

If I don't get a move on and get my Christmas decorations down we're going to be celebrating Christmas in July! I have no motivation for this task.

Farpy Hatcher! (Happy New Year)



You might think we're weird, but our kids really need their sleep and since I cannot pass up an opportunity to celebrate an occasion, we pretend the New Year starts at 9pm. It's a good thing we do this because at 6:30 Belle was complaining that the new year was taking "too long" and she just wanted to celebrate it "NOW!".

We had snacks for dinner : pizza rolls, BBQ meatballs, crackers & cheese, popcorn, a veggie tray, pickles, M&M's, Reese's Pieces, sugar cookies, and don't forget the Martinellis Sparkling Cider in real glass champagne flutes. The kids had really cute top hats, 2009 necklaces and noise makers. And the highlight of the night was sparklers and M80's (really loud fireworks) in the front yard at 9 o'clock.

So, we say "Farpy Hatcher" to all. I hope 2009 brings as many wonderful memories to you as this past year did for me.

My "Kung Fu Panda"


Belle got the Kung Fu Panda DVD for Christmas from Grandma. We decided to watch it that night and this is what happened...

Can you say sugar rush?
