Dantzel is now 4 years old

My little girl had her birthday yesterday. We had a PARTY all day long. I had a house full of kids that I was babysitting. This worked out great cause Dantzel thought they were all over for her special day. I tried to have my camera on hand all day for all the fun things we did. I will explain under the picture what we were doing. Here we go.

Casey got to have a sleep over. This is right when they woke up. They are watching cartoons. We then had Pancakes for breakfast. I didn't get any pictures though.
We got the lego's down so they could play. I had a total of 10 kids on her birthday. WOW! what a party!
Dantzel wanted Spaghetti for lunch. We had to eat in shifts.
We played games like London bridges, duck duck goose etc

Grandma Bug-a-boo made pink cupcakes with pink frosting YUMMY!
Everyone got their own cupcake with their own candle to blow out. It was a lot of fun. I think we had to light all the candles and sing to Dantzel about 10 times. It was a lot of fun and the kids liked having their own candles to blow out too. :)
We went to the water park. Sorry, I couldn't get all the kids together for the picture.
Then we came home for quiet movie time. We finally got baby in a picture. As you can see 3 kids have gone home. Dantzel's face = :( My face = :)
After everyone went home I was beat. So for dinner we took the kids to McDonald's play place. I didn't want to cook and it gave the kids a place to get all the rest of their energy out (they didn't have much to spare).
Had to add this cute picture of James
Eating chicken nuggets and half a hamburger
Opening presents. Brandon did the shopping and the wrapping this year. It was nice to have him pick out what she was getting. He did a good job! She got an art kit picture above. Some earrings, candy, hair things, and more art things. She really enjoys coloring right now.
All done! I think she was happy with the long day.

kids...kids...kids

We love kids! Here are some pictures of the kids I now babysit full time. We have a lot of fun! I really feel like this is what I am suppose to be doing right now. These 2 girls are not only really cute but, really well mannered. Makes a huge difference.

sorry these pictures aren't the best. They are from the phone camera. :)

Duncan 1 month

Yes, my little baby is now 1 month old. I really wanted to do this post yesterday but, ran out of time. Here are just a few pictures.







He is now starting to get more of a personality. He will try and look when you talk. I really think he is starting to smile. I can tell that he is starting to turn more into a baby and not my little newborn anymore. :)

more pictures and video of Dantzel's swimming lesson

Dantzel did such a good job. As you can see she earned her make-up. She is my little fishy! :)

if you are wondering why she is in a different swimming suit, good job for being observent! Her teachers were sisters that taught every other day. They did a great job! :)

Swimming Lessons

Summer is almost half over and I am just getting Dantzel into her summer swimming lessons. She has 2 lessons left in this session. It is amazing what having a baby can do. Sure does make everything go on the back burner, even if it is hot and we need to jump into the pool to cool off. I took these 2 pictures with my phone today while Dantzel was finishing up her lesson. I should be able to get more and better pictures tomorrow. I will be able to attend the whole lesson and not just drop her off.
I had to bribe her this year with Make-up. She really loves to swim but, she doesn't like to put her face in when someone tells her to. Silly girl.

A BIG thanks goes out to her 2 teachers. They have been doing a GREAT job! :)

First bath/ getting caught up

I know this happend a long time ago but, I have been busy doing other things. Blogging has been put on the back burner for a while.

After his first bath it took a little while to warm him back up. With Dantzel's help, it went a little longer than planned. :)

James loves his little brother! His lip looks sore in this picture. It is getting better though. :)

Dantzel loves her baby brother too. She is quite the helper. I don't even really have to worry when she is holding him. She does a pretty good job! :)
