Isn't She Lovely!

I maybe biased but I think she is just perfect!!!!!!!

Flaming, Sweet, Fun!

What do you get when you add:

and this and these cuties:Smores Of Course!Aiden didn't like eating the smores all that much, but he LOVED making them... and boy was he in a silly mood: Jakob ( like his Mama :) was all about eating them... and he ( again like his Mama:) ate more then a few!This little girl was enthralled with the fire! Her eyes were so big and bright just staring at the flames!

The guys ended the night with a bedtime story outside

It was a nice way to spend the evening in this wonderful Arizona weather!

May The Force Be With You

Jakob LOVES Star Wars, so of course he chose that as the theme of his sixth birthday party! My Dad made up this neat story and wrote it up the walk way to our door. It was just like the opening of the Star Wars movies!Once all of our friends arrived, we enjoyed some pizza, then it was on to the games!

I told the kiddos that they were going to be training to be Jedi Knights! Their first mission was to blow up attacking space ships in a pin the tail on the donkey type game!Once they were finished destroying the ships, I told them it was time to hunt for asteroids. Inside each asteroid would be a bracelet and they needed the bracelets to earn their light sabers! The hunt was on!They all found their bracelets and off we went to the front yard. We had drawn a huge "DeathStar" on the drive way in chalk and the kids had to use water balloons to destroy it!
After much anticipation they were given their light sabers! The goal of the game was originally supposed to be to keep the balloons from hitting the ground using your light saber. However it ended up being pop the balloons with your light saber! The kids loved this! The last step in becoming a Jedi was to open the garage door using only the force ( I had the automatic opener :) )! It was quite amusing watching them try so hard to get it to open, and they were all very excited once it did!

As they walked into the door, they were all awarded medals, and now were official Jedi Knights!

Next up.. the new Jedi Knights had to beat Darth Vader.. pinata style :)!! The first picture is too funny.. We had about twenty kids and one pinata... so I was stopping Jake to enforce the "One Hit per Kid Rule" :)!!

Last but not least, we sang Happy Birthday, ate some cake, and opened gifts!

As each guest left, they got a Jedi favor!
It was such a fun party! Jakob had a wonderful time with all of his friends! He was one happy Birthday Jedi :) !!!!!

Happy Heart!

This may not be a photo of my little family.. but it gives me quite a happy heart. I was cruising through the pictures from Jake's party yesterday and came across this one! What a beautiful moment.. plus I love these three people very much!!

Birthday and Milestones

So I meant to do this post in three separate entries.. but time was not on my side :)! So here it goes!

I am going to start with this little man:
Today is his 6th Birthday! Happy Birthday Sweetie! Jakob has grown so much this past year! He is so much more mature and grown up then he was this day last year. He can ride a bike, is pretty close to being able to read, he is now a big brother of two.. and excellent big brother of two! He loves to color, draw, anything artsy really.. and he loves music. He is still obsessed with all things Star Wars, he could live on cereal and chocolate pudding ( if Mama let him :), and his imagination is HUGE! He is such a big help, and a wonderful example to his younger brother and sister! I am so proud of him.. my six year old kindergartner.. I cannot believe how fast time flies. He is truly an amazing kid, and I am lucky to be his Mommy!

On to this sweet girl:

She was one month old last Friday.. so that would make her 1 month and 1 week today! At her checkup she was close to 9 lbs!! She is still doing wonderful.. even sleeping well most nights! She loves to be cuddled, and is starting to look around at everything. I think she is getting very used to her brothers, and their voices are instantly soothing to her. She can be pitching a fit in the car, and the boys will talk or sing to her, and she immediately is quiet and content. I am taking every second in and enjoying this time, as I know it goes fast! She has made our family so much more full, and we could not love her more!

Now onto my little Monkey:

My silly, sweet, cuddly, Aiden! I cannot imagine my life without this kiddo! It is funny because Bobby always says Aiden and I remind him of my Mom and Brother. The bicker back and forth all the time, but have this really wonderful relationship. My brother will surly always be my Mama's baby boy. Bobby could not be more right, that is Aiden and I!! Aiden can ride my nerves like no other, but their is this sweetness to him that I LOVE! He is also really really silly, and can always make me laugh! It is amazing to me that in the same five minutes he can make me want to tear my hair out, and then make me burst out laughing. He is my little sunshine, and I know that twenty years from now we may still not see eye to eye, but that he will always always be my baby boy!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!!

I Feel Like I'm Falling For Fall!!

YAY YAY YAY! Fall in the Kimery house has begun.. and who cares if it is still triple digit temperatures outside! I love fall.... I always have. The colors, smells, holidays... it is definitely my favorite time of year! So here are a few things I am doing to welcome fall and help me ignore the fact that it is scorching hot outside!

I bought this a few days ago, and my house is smelling so so good!:

I have big plans to bake up some of this sometime this weekend

I ordered this cute fall themed apron of Etsy:

YUM.. Pumpkin Spice Latte!! I have been drinking these like MAD!

With Fall comes Football Season! In this house we are Chicago Bears Fans! My boys have a ton of Bears apparel to wear during games, but Lucy was lacking in that area! To solve that pressing dilemma I bought an orange and white stripe onsie in the boys section and she has some ADORABLE ruffle bum shorts.. add these cuties and she is in full GO BEARS mode!
So there you have it.. my plan to bring a little Autumn to our oh so sunny lives :)

My Everything!

Here they are.. My Everything!!Well minus one handsome man of course! Happy Friday Y'all!!
