For Me?!

For a while now whenever Zany saw you with something she wanted she would say dramatically "For Me? drawing out the me and going as high as possible with her pitch.  This was the first time I think she understood the concept of birthday=presents.  Lucky girl being somewhat close to the after christmas sales made out like a bandit I think.
Pa gives here a Little Mermaid Vanity that is also a Keyboard.

Birthday donut cake

Archy decides to help out

She got some horses playset, a walking dog she named "Remington", a giant sofia castle playset and some clothes as well 

What can this be?

What is a party without ballons?

Casa Manana Birthday

For quite awhile we would go to Casa Manana in Safford to celebrate people's birthday's. This past year I am not sure what happened but we missed some. Last night we went to celebrate Zany's and Declan's birthday's they are very nice, they decorate, give you free fried ice cream and even sing.
The Gangs is all gathered. ready for feasting!

Zany loved this birthday shirt and was very proud to show it off

Archy gleefully grabs a very large flour chip

They sing a very boisterous and clapping version of Happy birthday, Zany was a wee bit scared and bolted to Eddy for protection, you can barely see her in the far left of picture

Happy Birthday Zaynzley!


Happy Birthday Zaynzley! I can't believe how fast it has gone by!





She had the cutest cheeks, in hospital.





What a happy delight you are to our family!

Here she is off to pick out donuts with her daddy for her birthday morning breakfast.
He even picked out her outfit and got her ready.




In a earlier post I mentioned we had gotten rid of all of Zaynzyley pacifiers by cutting them.  Eddy worked hard to find and hide them before I could get to all of them unbeknownst to me.  So when she went to sleep that night he gave her the lone surviving pacifier and continued to slip it to her at night when she went to bed and get rid of it in the morning.  The gig was up when she got into bed with us and I later rolled on said pacifier. Today at naptime, Zaynzley was refusing to go to sleep we struggled for half an hour. I wouldn't let her get off the window seat so she was crying and hollering and throwing pillows when she found this purple pacifier under the pillows she instantly quit crying, looked at me, popped it in her mouth and immediately laid down and went to sleep. At that point I was just glad she finally went to sleep!  Despite destroying four pacifiers, I guess we aren't quite ready to get rid of them yet.



For our (Eddy and I) friday night date, I talked him into going shopping. We went to a store that is a total lifesaver for me in trying to cloth and shoe my family.  It is Bealls and once a month the dots move which means instead of something being 30% off it is 50%, 70%, 95% accordingly; everything is brand new and come from a variety of stores Target, Dillards, Kmart, kind of like Ross but better deals.  Anyway here were my deals: Eddy three sweaters one chaps, two van heusen each 85 cents; Quinton two shirts with ties in a box .50 cents each, Quinton reebok high tops $12.75, Quinton navy blue levi's sneakers .85 cents,  Eddy reebok high tops $12.75, Declan 7 pack everlast socks $1; McCoy blue and yellow reebok $6.75 and belt .17 cents, Archy shoes 3.74 and on Friday they give you extra 15% off everything if you are under 50; over 50 you get it on Monday. It is a lot of fun to get things at such bargain prices. After shopping, we got a soda to share and headed home for movie time with the kids. 

Preparing to watch Cloudy with Chance of Meatballs 2. Have an art project in mind for that blank wall that I haven't done yet.

Since we didn't have a proper dinner we decided to have our favorite movie snack popcorn popped in canola oil with peanut M & M's (valentine ones clearance). 

It is really good even though it sounds strange. Try it!

Happy Birthday Declan part two


Declan got a sin cara mask that he loved, he just opened up this present of two books.


Two of his favourites.


What can this be?


A baseball bat.

Unfortunately, zaynzley got to the closet where his presents were and unwrapped three of them before anyone noticed that was upsetting for poor Declan.  He received a kindle fire from his two grandma's, he got three board games, wizard castle ( from Aunt Ashlee), science kit, xploderz gun and flying rc helicopter ( from papa), batman with batmite. He was very happy with all his gifts!
