Happy Birthday Andee!

Finally Andee had her birthday. She had to sit through her brothers bdays and wasn't very happy about it. So she finally got her day. I woke her up with a flower pancake, then she had a blast opening her presents. Ever since she went over to a friends house who had Barbie's, that's all she's talked about, so we got her 2, and that's all she did for the whole day, is play with her Barbie's. James took her out for a "Daddy Daughter dinner" when he got home from work, which she was looking forward to all day. The whole hour before he came home she would sit by the front window waiting for him. Then today we took Andee and Nick to see "The Christmas Carol", wouldn't say it was the best movie to take the kids to, a little creepy, but they still had fun. Then we had a little family party for her tonight, which she has also been talking about for the past month. So I can't believe I have a five year old, she's growing up so fast. We love her little sweet personality and feel very blessed to have her apart of our family.

Happy Birthday Nicholas!

Wow, let me just say I'm so glad this weekend is over! I don't know what we were thinking with having all the kids birthdays within 2 weeks of each other. Two down, one to go. Nick had a good day, his favorite breakfast is pancakes, so he had a star pancake, and then had fun opening up his presents. Thanks Dad and Modena and Joseph, he loves the Captain Moroni and the Stripling Warrior toys! They've been playing with that all day. We got him a bag of "Cowboy and Indian" toys, so they play with those along with the other two, it's perfect. Brock had fun with his cake of course. Made a complete mess! So what a great day to end this fun weekend.


















He was so excited to try out his new bubbles:

Happy Halloween!!

Well what a day! This has been the longest day ever. Next year I will definitely do a few things differently. The trunk-or-treat got over at 6p.m. and then from there we went around the neighborhood. And then when we got home, I still had to make dinner and desert. We were eating dinner at 8:30p.m, so yes, doing it differentely next year. But it was a really fun day, did a ton of things, and the kids had a blast, so that's all that matters.

We started the day off with pumpkin waffles:

Happy Birthday Brock!

What a sweet happy little guy. I can't believe he is one year old. Today I woke him up, and made him blue and green balloon french toast, first time ever having french toast which he loved. He had a blast opening his presents, and loved Nick and Andee helping. Thanks Dad and Modena for the cute bear book, he loves it. We're having his cake on Sunday, so we didn't have to have family drive out here twice. But he is such a joy in our lives, and we truly feel blessed to have him apart of our family. Right now his favorite food is hotdogs and peaches. He loves crawling really fast with his head down, sort of in "attack" mode. He absolutely loves playing with his brother and sister, always has a smile for them. Every time it's bath time, he waits by the side of the tub, going up and down, he can't hardly wait to get in, then when he does get in, he loves putting his face under the faucet while the water is running. We love you Brock! Happy Birthday!

Halloween Party

The primary put on a little halloween party and the kids had so much fun. Andee is a BYU cheerleader, Nick is Spiderman, and little Brock is a tiger. They all looked so cute.

Pumpkin Walk

Last year was the first year we went to Benson Grist Mill for the pumpkin walk and the kids loved it so we're making it a tradition. The kids have a blast running around with their cousins and collecting candy from the different vendors they have around. This year I caved and got the kids cotton candy and a snow cone, which was too much sugar for their little bodies to handle.

The Losee Gang

Is was about that time for family pictures, it's been 2 years since we last took them and we all have had babies so we needed an update. But of course on the day of pictures something always has to go wrong, Andee had been sick with the flu so she wasn't up to par, but it's rare to get a perfect family picture with three little ones.




All the cousins

Update overload...

Sorry for the 5 month block of nothingness. Our life here at the Losee house has been a little crazy. It first started with me having a miscarriage at 3 months along about 3 months ago, then James' job not doing so well, which then resulted in some major problems I won't even get into. But we're hanging in there, hoping all the stress and madness is coming to an end. So here's what we've been up to these past couple of months.

First Day of Preschool!!

This year both Andee and Nick are in preschool = 2 hours of free time! I was a little worried they would be put in the same class and then shy little Nick wouldn't make any new friends, but they are in different classes so it worked out. But since Nick didn't qualify and so he's a tuition student, the bus doesn't come to pick him up, so I have to take the kids this year...boo. Nick's class is having a Pirate's theme so he came home with some way cute stuff for his first week, so he's pretty excited for school. And Andee is so excited to be back in her class with her teacher, she definitely missed it.
