We are ready for Halloween!

 I love Halloween! So do my kiddos! Tessa asked me to decorate our house about mid September... So I did. This year we got our costumes early so we could go to the fabulous Trick or Treat Party at Disneyland during fall break (Disneyland Blog soon to come) Then I heard our friend Ashley was doing her annual Halloween photo shoot. I jumped on the opportunity. I don't know about you other Mom's out there, but I NEVER get good pictures of our kiddos on Halloween.. Too much candy, and too much fun to slow down for good photos. I just love how the pictures turned out. Seth wanted to be a ninja (not Mom and Dad's first pick, we wanted to see his cute face), Tessa Snow White (Thanks to a wonderful Aunt with great hand me down), and Scotty is Charlie Brown ( I thought it would be very comfy for this this man, plus we tend to call him Charlie Brown once in awhile).

 Scotty turned on the charm as soon as Ashley brought out the camera. He is such a show off.. I LOVE IT! He really is turning into quite the little entertainer.

 Gorgeous Tessa. She loves her Princess's and loves to dress up. She was pretty excited when I told her I was going to let her wear make-up. She didn't hesitate! Love this girl to pieces.

 So Seth would not smile at all for the camera. Plus he kind of had a hard morning because Mom was asking him to do chores. How dare I!! He was in his serious Ninja mode and would not crack. I can't believe how big my favorite brown haired boy is. (That's what I call him) My heart aches when I think about him growing  up. He is such a good boy and we are so proud of the little man he is becoming.

There is that handsome smile. These boys have a very special bond and Scotty knows how to melt Seth's heart. Happy Halloween!!

Heaven Help ME!!!

Lately I feel like I have been running around with my head cut off... Guess who is to blame?!!! This little boy has giving us a run for our money. He is into EVERYTHING and climbs on ANYTHING! Yesterday instead of getting SO frustrated I decided to document his activities so everyone would just get a glimpse in my day to day life. The toilet is Scotty's favorite toy. He often plays and dips his cookies in the water for some extra protein in his diet.

 
He loves to push his high chair down and luckily has not YET been kicked in the face by the legs.

 His latest experiment... He love to climb on the table and computer table. How we have not YET been to the emergency room with this child is a freaking MIRACLE!And since he loves the computer desk just as much, don't even ask me how well are computer is working at this time

This one is kinda cute.. He has now learned how to take off his diaper. I can't wait for the day when he takes off his diaper to find some squishy, brown, fun playdough to play with:)

No, that is not water from the pool. He did his business and just kept on walking right on through it. He is so lucky that we love him so much. He is quite hilarious and is full of light and personality. Plus his is so DANG CUTE!!! I can hardly stand it!! Love you Scotty, but at times you can really be a little #$%@!
Love, Your Exhausted Mother

First Day of School

 Seriously could this kid get any more handsome?!!!! Seth had a new adventure to face this school year. He started at a new school, and 2nd grade. I was so nervous for him but he seemed to be "pretty " confident and just a little nervous. I was so proud of him for having the courage to do this. We moved into a different house which meant a different school for him. His old school really was not much farther, but we left it up to Seth to make a big boy decision. The new school is in walking distances  (which he is very excited to soon ride his bike), and he has a lot of new friends and cousins that attend this school as well. He chose the new school. We are so proud of him and his ability to make new friends and try new things. He had a great day filled with lots of fun new things and adventures. When he got home I couldn't wait to hear about his day. I was sick "literally" all day worried about every little detail of his day! When he walked in Seth said " E...... is the best school in the world"! Why do I even worry about this boy... He has it all figured out.

 Walking to School with Dad... I only cried a little...

 I love this girl to pieces and she is such a ray of sunshine in our lives. She does tend to smile kinda funny when asked to do on cue:) Tess is attending a Pre K program through our school district. She got to attend this same preschool one day a week last year, so she knew exactly what to do this year. We love her teacher and she is always there to greet Tess with a big hug every morning. She will be going  4 days a week for three entire hours!! Can you say FREEDOM!! Today was her first day and I didn't worry about her for a second. I did miss her and her crazy imagination around the house. When I went to pick her up her teacher informed me that she had a fabulous day with new friends and got along great with all of them. She also told me that she sang "Baby" by Justin Bieber for her, and also informed her that Justin is her husband and they are going to have a lot of babies. Heaven Help Me!! This girl is amazing....
Result of an early, fun filled day of school. Those lips are going to be an issue with the boys, which in return will be an issue with her Dad. Love you BEAR!!

Summer Lovin (picture blog)

 We have had a FABULOUS summer and are sad to get back to our normal schedule soon (Mom is kinda ready though) Our new toy this summer donated to us by our besties the Walkers.

Tessa was in Miss. Jennee's Workshop. She sang and danced her heart out for two weeks. She had a blast and looked so dang cute in her performance

Camping indoors... Best camping trip I have ever had!

Lemonade stand with Cousins at Ya- Ya's yard sale.

I took a impromptu trip for Three weeks to Cali to visit my parents and a long time friend. Lindy was so nice to put up with me and my three kiddos for four days. We had a blast swimming, eating way too much, staying up late to talk, redecorating her front room, playing, and playing some more. We have come to find out that since we  have 6 kiddos between the two of us , that are visits revolve around the kiddos and not us anymore. We still had a blast and I just love how much are kiddos love each other. Thanks Lindy, oh and Mike:) Sure love you!

The 6 kiddos- can you imagine the amount of food and trash we went through in 4 days!!

Swimming at Grandparents house. Tessa and Paxton

Lyric and Seth

And Adorable Kylee... Lindy's kiddos are gorgeous! I kinda wanted to steal this little one!

We also spent the 4th of July with them

Then Spencer met up with me at my parents and they were kind enough to watch the kiddos while we went on a cruise with The Wright House  clan. We had a blast and a much needed brake. 

When we got back from our cruise, not to our surprise Apple Jul and Popeye spoiled our kiddos like crazy. They had so much fun and we didn't worry a single bit!

Scotty loved the ocean and beach. Popeye and Scotty checkin out the water

Sorry the pictures are so little... Seth got a new wet suit and lost all fear of the ocean because of it. He loved the water and boogy boarding

Tess being cute!! She still had a little fear with the ocean... which was fine by me!

Seth, Scotty and Tess got to go to the Santa Barbara Zoo and they even got to feed a Giraffe!

P.S Scotty is officially walking!!

Scotty too- Hottie is 1! (on June 4th)

I can't believe this little man is 1 already!! Where does time go (seriously) In my mind he still looks like this

We are so very blessed to have Scotty in our lives. It is like he has always been a part of our family.

We thank our Heavenly Father everyday for this sweet little spirit.

Things Too Hottie (that's are nickname for him) can do-

He crawls and walks along furniture like a champ

He can say Momma, Dadda, Bubba (Seth) Babba (bottle) Haat (hot)

He waves, claps, sings and dances to Justin Bieber, throws little tantrums, and gets into everything! He loves the toilet!

Still does not sleep very well, but ONCE in awhile he will take a good nap. In fact he is screaming right this very second in his crib because he won't go to sleep!

He is a total Momma's boy!

He eats like a champ and will eat everything he gets his hand. (rocks, dirt, bugs, and old food he finds on the ground)

His favorite food is watermelon, and mac and cheese

He weight 19 pounds 17 ounces (my smallest child by far)

Loves to wrestle with his brother and Dadda, and play in big sister's room

He is walking with his walker but is still a little hesitant to walk.

He loves dogs and shakes with excitement when they are around

He loves to swim and take baths

He is all boy!

For his big day I did take tons of pictures but for some reason my camera will not load them..GRRRrrr

We just had a fun family day and enjoyed each other's company. We went swimming , went to Red Robin for dinner, and then went to Target to pick a toy. It was the perfect day! We love you so much Scotty!! Thanks for being you!

Love my Family!

 A couple of weeks ago we had the great pleasure to take family pictures. It was actually a lot of fun .They turned out amazing thanks to this sweet lady. She was so patient and just went with the flow of our family chaos.  These are only a few... but some of my favorites. I can't wait to make a million prints and spread them through out my house.

 My handsome boy. He never smiles with his teeth... so of course I LOVE this one. My hubby and mom helped out with getting him to smile. Sorry Seth we will get braces when you get a little older.

My SASSY gorgeous Daughter. She loves to work it and stick out that hip when needed.

                                          
 My adorable baby. I so proud to finally have a child that some what resembles me. Win for whites!

 Almost ten years with this Hunk!!! I can't believe we are almost that couple.
 All the cousins together

 The Whole Family

 The "original" Herron Family.... LOVE THEM!

 I CAN NOT believe my parents have six grandkiddos. They are pretty gosh dang good at it too! My Dad is priceless in this pic. Typically Seth and Popeye.

 My sweet Momma Mia..

Thanks Ashley again. We will always cherish our pictures.

Hole Fam Dangily

 Couple of weeks ago I had my entire Family in town to celebrate the blessing of the newest addition to our family. We have not had everyone together in quite sometime. It was a crazy, busy, and a very enjoyable weekend. It was very short but very sweet. We played hard, took family picture, ate, played some more, and slept a little. This is my brother and his adorable wife and their youngest Marshall... but we call him Marshmallow (can you guess why?) Scotty wiggled himself into this picture

 Here is Marshmallow... Can you believe those eyes. This was my first time meeting this hunk, ahunk of burnin love. He melted my heart and we loved getting to know him. I had just had Scotty when this "little one" was born, So I hadn't made it to Utah to meet him yet. He looks just like my brother. I also got the pleasure in giving him his first haircut!

 Kali and Seth playing in the backyard. This cutest is my brother's oldest. Kali and Tessa are only a couple months apart. We don't get to see them very offend but you would know it seeing all of them together. Tessa, Kali and Seth picked up right where they left off. They had so much fun together!

 Cousin lovin! Minus little L.L.

 Two of the cutest almost 1 year olds! Marshall and Scotty loved each other too. Marshall is a little bigger then Scotty but they still wrestled all weekend long... Marshall won most of the time.

 Saying goodbye... I LOVE THIS PICTURE!! It makes me cry a little too though. They love each other SO much and just couldn't get enough of one another. I did have to tell Tess to back off a time or two though. Kali was not use to all of what Tess has and had to give. We miss you guys already... Next time we will come to Utah. Thanks for making such a long and short trip. Sure love you!

 Sweet Elliott (L.L) and Apple Jul... Reason for the Celebration

Proud Momma (sorry Dustin, I didn't get a pic of you) on his special day.
