Melvin is Home!!!

Well for the past week we have been missing one of our Crew. Melvin went to Georgia and Florida with his Sha-Sha and Granddaddy!!!! Oh yea and uncle Brady. They went to Georgia to see Lee's Grandmother, they also got to see Lee's Granny which is actually Melvin's Great Great Grandmother. Then the little turkey got to go to Panama City Beach, Florida (our favorite vacation site) He ate at Pineapple Willy's and got to swim in the ocean at the Jetty. I am very glad he had a great time and was able to go on a little vacation before school starts. I will have to post some pictures but I will need to get them from his Sha-Sha first.

Also this past weekend we went to a Birthday Celebration for one of my best friends kids, its funny how God places people in your life. Me and Deanna met while the kids were in the hospital she had her quads on August 12 and I had mine on September 7. We met when we were scrubbing in to the NICU. She noticed that I had Triplets because of my wrist bands. And ever since then we have been the best of friends and so have the kids. She has Twin boys who turned 9 and the little guys who just turned 5. So me and the little ones went to Hawiian Falls Water Park and helps celebrate all 5 of their birthdays at the same time. That was quiet nice to get it over with at the same time. My guys loved the fact that they went to the water park, they went down the slides and just enjoyed being in the water. I will also have to post some pics of them later but I will have to get those from Deanna.

School will be starting soon, Melvin will be in 1st grade and the little guys are going to Mothers Day Out and except it will be for 2 days this year.

I will talk to everyone soon

Goodbye Wishbone!!

So most of you know at one point we had 2 dogs, one was a mix breed not really sure what he was anyways last summer he completly turned on us and would not let us outside in the backyard. We had gotten rid of him last summer. Then we were left with one, a very attention wanting Beagle named Wishbone. After about a year and a half with him, we decieded a couple of weeks ago to let him go and find him a new home. With all of the activities that the kids are going to be doing we just did not spend enough quality time with him. So I listed him on Craigslist and within 20 min. of the posting being on there I was getting calls from alot of people wanting him. On July 24th we found a new home for him, he now has a another Beagle to play with and through emails that I recieved from his new owner he is very happy. The kids were a little upset but after about 3 days I have not heard anything about him. Also they are spending alot more time outside and I am sure that its because he is not out there jumping on them. So this is goodbye to Wishbone!!!

Our Family Sticker

I made this really cute family sticker, unfortunantly since we have such a big family it wont fit at the top of my blog. So make sure you go down to the bottom of the page and check it out.

Fourth of July!!!

So I know its been a week since the 4th but Lee has been off all week and we have just been so busy. Here are some pics from the 4th. I will have more pics later. We had purchased a pool and I need to get my pics from the water camera developed. The kids love the pool they would sleep in it if I would let them so would Lee for that matter. By the way Lee and I had are 7th anniversary on Monday the 7th. Its funny to think that we have been married for 7 years, but we have been together including dating for 10 years now it seems like forever. Anyways here are some pics of the kids playing with their poppers on the 4th. I hope ya'll enjoy the pics.
Love,
Lee, Brandy, Melvin, John, Jacob & Alison

This is a Picture of all of the kiddo's and Lee doing their poppers!!

This is John after getting shot with streamers!!

This is Miss Alison throwing the poppers down.
This is Melvin shooting off streamers!!
And this is Jacob he gives always has the biggest and cheesiest smiles in the world.
Also Jacob had a 4th of July shirt but he claimed it was to big for him. I had not washed it yet so it was not shrunk. So he choose his Frog shirt for the day with was fitting for him. He is known as the "Frog Boy" around here.

Melvin & Jacob's Self Haircuts

So Sunday we went to Eagle Mountain Park and went on a nice walk, we found a great clear spot by the lake Lee and the kids went swimming in the lake. Well we get home and everyone is getting ready to take a nap and Lee gets a call and has to go to work. Me and the kids take us a nap well apparently Melvin either did not take a nap or woke up before me and decided to give himself a haircut. We asked him why he did it and it was because he likes haircuts. I probably would not have been so upset about having to shave all of his hair off but we just went on the 1st and got his hair cut. So that was 12.00 wasted!!! Here are some pics of my beautiful son before his self hair cut!!!

Here is the picture of Melvin after his self hair cut!!!

This is after we had to fix his hair from his self haircut!! I am so sad that my little boy has a shaved head. Atleast it will be all grown out before school starts!!

Apparently Jacob thought it would be great to shave his head with the shears!! We have not fixed his hair yet we are still trying to deciede what to do with it. John did it also but his was not that noticable so we are just going to let his grow out.

All of the sissors and shears have been put up and will only be out if I am able to watch them. I hope everyone enjoys the funny pictures.

My New Hair Cut

I just wanted to write a little post about my new hair cut!! My hair was right below my shoulder blades (when I let it hang down straight). I went to get a hair cut the other day and got it all cut off!!! The front is right at my chin and the back is way shorter than I have ever had it. It is completly off of my neck. I do not have any pics yet but I will take some and post them here. It is so much easier and only takes me about 5-10 minutes to fix it. So NO MORE PONYTAILS FOR ME!!!! That was the big reason for me cutting it off. I was tired of ponytails and it got all of the dead hair off from all of the coloring that I have done. Not to say I wont highlight my hair again but just not right now. Also Melvin's last day of school is today he gets out of school at 12:00 and he is looking forward to getting out of school early!!!

Talk to everyone Soon,

School is Ending!!

John, Jacob & Alison's last day of school was yesterday. I dont really think that they understand it because Melvin is still in school. They got a end of school year book with all of the stuff that they learned throughout the year. It was really cool to see what all they have learned and all that they have remembered. Also we got school pictures the guy made me a good deal, he told me that if I would purchase all of the packages which were $20.00 a piece he would give me all of them for $40.00 because of having to purchase 3. Some people give me breaks which I am grateful for and some just dont care and assume because we have Triplets that we have alot of money. Melvin gets out of school next Thursday at 12:00 and he cant wait to get out it is getting to be a struggle to get him off to school everyday. We dont have alot of plans for the summer but I am sure between all of the toys in the backyard and swimming at the YMCA we will have a fun summer.
Here is some new pictures of the kids in the new tire swing. Lee redid it so that they could all ride together.

Alison was not feeling good so that is why she is not in the pictures.

I will talk to everyone later.
