We celebrated the babies first birthday yesterday evening with a Nacho Night complete with Nachos, movie Nacho Libre and friends and costumes (from the movie). They are both walking beautifully and bonking heads and learning about gravity. We had the Jensen's, the Stewarts, the Martinez' families over and had lots of fun. We also had homemade Deluxe Chocolate Cake and homemade Vanilla ice cream, yum yum you know it! Haylie and Hunter had their first taste of forbidden sweets, cake and ice cream, and pictures are coming soon.

This weekend we went to a scouting camporee with just my almost favorite, but my only canadian step-dad. We had fun trying to fish (but the only thing that was biting was some frogs) and had fun hunting for frogs with my friend Darrien. My favorite part was not during camp. but on the way there alan took me to S-mart and we both got 2 twixs each and we got a bag of chips each, and A ton of Mountain Dew!!!!!!!!!

Mommy and julian time was a blast tonight!!! We had fun talking and taking pictures.

Ok, so I am trying to get back to blogging. We have had a wonderful past year with the babies growing so fast and all the kids helping out so nicely.

Happy Birthday to Julian and Jasmine! My eleven and nine year olds! Love my happy children:)

Zelma Chase holds Haylie and Hunter a few days before her and Joe leave for Texas. We are going to miss our Nana and Grampy (Alan's girls' grandparents and my kids' sub-grandparents.

My days before Alan put on drawer locks. So much fun!

I bought this huge mango at an asian grocery store for $2.00. It's almost bigger than Jasmine's head:) and it fed 5 kids.

Jasmine and Teagan pose for the camera after dinner.

We just recently said good bye to Teagan as she left for London, England for her 4th year of university. Julian, Jasmine, Triston, myself, Alan, and the twins, and some of her family had dinner together at Texas Roadhouse.

This is Haylie and Hunter helping mom in the kitchen. They are 7 months old.

So this is Hunter taking some of his first crawling moves. You will also see Haylie.
