Allie Turned 1!!!!!!

Last week Allie turned one. This last year would haven't been the same if we didn't have our Allie with us. She is the sweetest little Bug ever. We had so much fun with her. We have recently learned that Allie loves McDonald's Cheeseburger. We decided to take her to McD's for dinner and we went with some friends, who is Allie's buddy who she is joined at the hip with, and she devoured her cheeseburger. She got some really good toys from grandma Hirschi, her Hip Buddy Sandra got her some cute shoes and an outfit,and we bought her an outfit and a little toy.

We have so much fun with our Allie bug. I made her a Ladybug cake cause when she was born we called her our ladybug

Isabelle isn't really taller then Mason she was on her tippy toes.

Hirschi Family Reunion

The end of July we had a Hirschi Family Reunion and it was so much fun. We rented a house in the La Sal mountains about 40 miles south of Moab. We had lots of fun and we did so many fun activities. This pic of david is the best picture I got of the cool shirts we got.

One of the days we went to the arches national park and looked at all the "cool rocks" as my kids called them. It was so hot in Moab, but up at our house the weather was perfect. we were high enough that the weather was mild and perfect for outdoor play.

Mason and his buddy Wyatt.

My smart brother Jason made the coolest rocket launcher and all the kids decorated 2 liter bottles and shot off the rockets. They worked awesome and Jason is so smart to figure it out. we loved it. Mason was so proud of his rocket cause when it landed it didn't brake and most of them broke on the tip from impact. I made the rocket and was pretty proud of my good craftmanship.

This is my favorite picture taken. This is almost all of the grandkids. I think only 3 are missing Allie, Carter, and Parker, the 3 youngest.

We all had so much fun. We celebrated 2 birthdays and all got to see the newest Hirschi, Parker Jason and Lorisa baby. One of the best and most fun activity was the Hirschi Family Olympics. We did the javillin, shot-put and fungulator, or big slingshot. All these were done with water balloons. We also used to huge slingshots and shot 500 water balloons at each other. David got hit the most. I got it in the thigh and it left a bruise for about 2 weeks it was brutal. There was no mercy shown.

It wouldn't be a family get together without someone throwing up and this time was no exception. David and most of his family got the flu and then it just went around the family for the next 2 weeks if not more.

We had a talent show that was so much fun. My family did syncrinized swimming that consisted of my three kids getting thrown above a blanket pretending to swim. Jason and Brogan stole the show though. They did a lipsync to the song Farmers tan. Brogan was absolutely adorable. Smig you need to post it to Youtube. I can't wait to see it again.

This was truly so much fun. I can't wait till next time. I love my family so much and love how much fun we can have together. Love you all miss you so much

Silly Allie Bug

Because I just love this kid so much I had to post these pics. Allie bug has started to eat real people food. It always happens with my kids when one of their Aunts gives them real food and then I get braver and give them more. Well, aunt Michelle fed Allie a chocolate oatmeal cookie and that started it all. I had given her cheerios before but that was about it. Then I told Michelle how old she was and that was the end of it. She is 10 months BTW. Today Rob but her in her chair and tried to feed her but she never wants to eat for him she only wants to play. He gave up and just gave her marshmellow maties, and of course a popsicle. When he went in to check on her she had marshmellows stuck all the way up her arm, which you can see in the first pic. We love our little Allie Bug. She truly is the best baby ever. All you mothers should be envious. She has the sweetest and silliest personality ever. Now if we could just get her to crawl. (Or do I really want that eeeekkk)

3 Graduations

First and foremost is the graduation of Robert from Utah state University. He graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Business. We are so proud of all the hard work he put in and being such a good daddy and husband at the same time. We knew he could do it and are excited to start a new chapter of life. As of now we are still on in pursuit of a good career and have faith that the Lord will bless us.

Isabelle graduated from Briteside Academy Preschool. She just adored preschool. She got the award for being the best helper. At graduation they sang some really cute songs and each said what they liked most about preschool. I wish I could remember what her line was. We got it all on video tho. Her shirt is her preschool shirt with the school moto "I play therefore I learn." Her teacher was amazing and a saint to teach her age group. We were so impressed by how much she taught Mason and Isabelle.

Mason also graduated from Briteside Academy preschool. Like Isabelle he loved preschool. He is always excited to learn and come home and show me what he learned on any given day. When he would come home I would ask him what he learned today at school and then he would tell me. Well, awhile after his daddy started school he would ask his daddy what he learned at school that day. Now when Rob comes home from work Mason will ask him what he did at work. Mason is growing up so fast and learned so much at Preschool I was amazed. I can't believe he will be in Kindergarten this coming Fall.

Introduction to Car Carrier Kangaroo

This is my sister-in-law. She has invented this great idea. It is so cool and when I have another baby I am totally going to use it. It is so smart and we are pretty sure there is nothing else out there quite the same. Check it out. She is selling them for about 25 a piece. She will tell you all about it. If you are using an infant car seat this is a great product to have.

Disneyland

Well I decided it was time to update and let everyone know we are still alive and here. Robert is about to graduate and we had talked about whether or not to do something crazy to celebrate and decided on taking him and the kids to Disneyland for the first time. We went the last day of Feb first week of March. We had an absolutely amazing time. Mason got sick two days before we left and was antibiotics the whole time we were there and was a pretty miserable boy the first two days at disneyland, but we forced him on all the rides and he loved them all. I think I will tell about our trip through pictures it is easier.

Just entering the park for the first time. For those of you who don't know that is my little sis Julie with us. She was a huge help we wouldn't have gotten to do on as many rides as we did without her.

This was the biggest surprise. We didn't even put it together that Rapenzel would be there already, but we got to see her and Flynn Rider whom Izzy was afraid of for some reason.

Checkout Isabelle. Flynn was so good. If you have seen Tangled and know the "smolder", Flynn did it perfect everytime.

Mickey and Minnie of course. Mickey was at his house and it was adorable. This wasn't the only time we saw Mickey. We were sitting outside a store at the front of the park and he came out a side door right where we were and gave both kids a hug. Minnie was in California adventure. She was adorable. She gave all the kids a kiss.

This seriously was adorable. We went on the princess promenade and got to see three of the princess', Aurora, Cinderella and Snow White. They all played the part so cute. Isabelle was wearing her Snow White dress and Snow White asked her "Did you go shopping in my closet this morning?" Isabelle was entranced. Mason's eyes just got really huge. Princess Aurora asked isabelle if mason was her prince. When we were done he said "That was awesome." It was totally worth the wait in line.

I don't know about anyone else but I hate the way blogger uploads photos. If anyone else knows an easy way let me know. I decided to do a blog about diseny with words and then one with just photos cause I can't figure out how to do it easier and want to scream. Anyways, sorry about the side rant. Mason's favorite part was seeing Mater and Lightning. They had real cars they didn't talk or anything, but he loved seeing them. We also saw Woody and Jesse and he loved that. We didn't get to see buzz and he was bumed about that. We all had so much fun. The kids loved it and have talked about going back ever since. More disney pics to come blogger decided not to work for me Argh.

Isabelle is 4

It has been a couple months, but I cannot believe my Izzy is already 4. She is so much and a very sweet thing. Somethings Izzy loves to do the most are coloring, playing family (house) with her friends and brother, reading, going to preschool, and being moms big helper. I love it when she smiles and laughs, sings me songs, and talks nonstop in the car. It is so funny how between the ages of 2 and forever they will just talk and talk in the car. Mason is the same way. Isabelle is so much fun. We love her and are so greatful that she is here with us. Love you Izzy.

Izzy and her little sis

My sister Amy brought her daughters for Izzy's party and made these adorable cakes for me.

Izzy and her silly cousins and brother

My Sweet Allie

Allie is almost exactly 4 months old, and she definately has her own sweet personality. She is such a mommas girl. Every night her and I have time together and just play. We talk and play and giggle. Her little giggle is the cutest and best sound in the world. I am so glad I have her and don't know what I would do without her. She has the cutest smile ever and gives it freely. I can't say enough about how much I love this little sweet spirit.
