Alisha's 15th B-Day...

So today my youngest turned 15 and now has her learner permit. YIKES! 

How Did time go by so fast!?!? 

 Of course Grandma S. came by earlier and then the A's came to celebrate with us. Earlier we took Ryann and Alisha's friend Ashley Z. to Mi Ranchito for her birthday dinner. Then Uncle Steve and Aunt Jen came over for some cake. It was a good time.

 Silly Taisha.

 We had no caaandles so we lit matches. This was quite tricky and we had to havae a lot of people to help to make it work. Why do I always forget candles? Duh Desirae.

 Ryann came up with the cutest idea for a gift. She had a lot of friends and family members write a note for her to open on a day she needed it.

 Happy Birthday Alisha!!! We are so blessed to have you in our lives.

We gave Alisha a nook for reading and going online, a water bottle from Skyler, and other fun stuff.

Quick update...

 McKenna is now braces free! Look at that beautiful smile.

 Danny and Austin are still dorks.

Taisha coaches at the Quarry and Sasha is lucky to be alive after tearing my back yard to pieces.

 McKenna has spent as much time as possible with friends who will go out on missions and  off to colleges soon.

 We bought a motorcycle!!!! And... it is no longer purple.

 The girls find ways to fight boredom playing Anna Kendrick's "Cups"and proof that they sometimes get along.

 Cousin's are the best.

 And Auria is just too cute with her laugh.

 Skyler works with me at SecurityMetrics...

 And still likes Pokemon. I wondered why he needed so many of my push pins at work. LOL

McKenna made Alisha into Elsa from Frozen.

 I am doing quite a bit better with depression and coping better with the new struggles and health problems that keep popping up. (This is how they read my pacemaker to see how if my heart is doing okay. I hate it when they test it to make sure it is working by speeding up my heart with a push of a button. I go from sitting heart rate to instant running. Not a pleasant feeling at all.)

My Girl is 2!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE AUNYA! 

We sure do love you even if you are in your terrible two's.

Sisters=Love

I took them outside to play. Then tried to get some good pictures.

However, she did like the presents!

A Wonderful Weekend...

Due to Big A being sick, I took the younger A's for a sleepover. It was a lot of fun. Both girls only woke up once and at the same time so it wasn't so bad. It also had been awhile since we had little A. Without a crib it is hard to have the girls sleepover. 

Skyler was in California for his team TNT's National Comp. He was sad he missed out on the sleepover, but his team did really good and next stop...Disney World for Worlds comp.

Taisha also had a comp and did really good taking 2nd a place and winning the girl she always wanted to beat. We are proud parents.

 Sweet baby A.

 Little A

 Taisha is a natural with children.

 We ended up trading the little ones for Big A. She was bugged with Alisha's friends being so noisy in the room next door while she was trying to sleep.
