Chocolate field trip

 Aimee here! Because Cannon doesn't go to school yet, my mom and some of the other moms from our ward have decided that they would all get together once and awhile for some "field trips" for the little kids to go on until they are ready to go to kindergarten. And by ready I mean #1 Cannons old enough and #2 mom lets him! She isn't ready to lose her last kid to the evil clutches of school! I don't blame her. I mean sometimes I feel like, who wants to go to school? Anyway, this time they got to go to a chocolate factory and see the magic! They got to see behind the scenes, and make some yummy treats to take home and eat.(Unfortunately they had to share!)

Pratt's starwars B-day/loosing his eyebrows

 Aimee here! Pratt has been begging for a star wars birthday party for a while so, mom decided to make his dreams come true! We made him a stormtrooper birthday cake, bought pool noodles for the boys to make into lightsabers,  hung up  black and white balloons and found all our guns for the boys to have a nerf war! Unfortunately, only 4-5 guests could make it, so his party was a bit small. It was still awesome though in Pratt's opinion. He got some awesome B-day presents and had lots of fun with his friends!

One of the best parts about Pratt turning 9 is that he went above and beyond to make it memorable by shaving his eyebrows off the night before.  As he was running all over the house on his traditional birthday balloon hunt we noticed that he looked...off.  After careful looking, we realized that he had not only shaved them (minus a few missed patches) but he had also attempted to draw them back on with a Crayola marker.  Best. Laugh. EVER!  He mentioned that he didn't get punished to me that morning while I finished helping him even things out.  I told him that Dad and I thought WE didn't need to punish him.  To this he replied, "oh I get it.  Sometimes your action IS the consequence,"  in his very matter of fact way.  I couldn't have said it better myself!!!

aimees birthday fiesta

It is the end of an era, as Aimee's last year of NOT being a teenager.  However, this girl is so awesome that I believe she is just gearing up for some great years of fun.  Nearly 6 months before her birthday she requested to have a "themed party."  I was a bit nervous about this until she told be she wanted her theme to be "Fiesta!"  I can roll with that!  It was a taco bar, and cactus cupcakes, a pinata and pin the tail on the Burro.  She also threw in a quick game of spin the nail polish bottle.  Luckily, we are already having our table top replaced....

With all of her new friends here in Washington it was a success!  Plus, I loving growing my very own bestie!  

A fun family ski trip

Aimee here. So for Christmas we got  3-pack where we could go skiing for 3 days whenever we wanted and we also got some cool snow gear. So a couple of weeks ago we decided to make use of our amazing present and we went to White Pass for a family skiing trip. Because May and Cannon are younger and are not as advanced in skiing as the big kids, mom and dad they didn't get to go on some of the bigger trails like, the holiday trail, Jawbreaker, and the Great White.We still had fun on the magic carpet and Far East though! We also got to skip school! Bonus!  This was out third and final trip of the season.  We all pretty mauch have a hang of things now, and it finally didn't snow on us the whole time we were there!

The start of Aimee's new soccer season!

Hi! It's Aimee again! So last year I did a season of soccer to see if I wanted to keep doing it or not. Well... I do! I have a lot of new and old teammates. Our team name is The Savages! I had my first game this Saturday. We were against the Rapids. The score was 2 to 1. We were the ones with 1. But... you can't blame us. It was kind of bad weather for a first of the season soccer game. It was cold, windy, cloudy and wet. Don't worry though, we'll win next time!

6th grade choir

Hey, my name is Aimee, and this is me in my Leona Libby 6th grade choir concert. I am in Mrs. Tatmans choir class but we also combined with Mrs. Snow's choir class. Mrs. Tatman is also the orchestra teacher, and Mrs, Snow (also known to me and the other drama kids as Mama Snow) is the drama teacher. As you are probably thinking right now, HOW IS AIMEE IN 6TH GRADE? And WHERE IS TOSHA? Let me explain. So when my mom stopped doing the blog it was because she didn't have as much free time to be blogging anymore because she had 4 very needy kids and 1 kid (me) who was also needy but not at all as much, and then we moved to New York for a year, and then we were just trying to adapt to our new home, and then we moved (AGAIN!) to 

Washington State. So...yeah, things have been kind of crazy lately. So far we have lived in Washington State for 6 1/2 months, Me and my mom (Tosha) are trying to start the blog back up, so please know that me, and my mom will both be blogging so please forgive any incorrect spelling or bumpiness in the blog's writing. Aimee out. (Nailed It!)
