a visit to ugent care

Davis Davis Davis...a true boy with absolutely no fear.  Luckily he has a high pain tolerance too.  This came just in time for Halloween.  This was about 2 days after it happened.

A lost tooth

Way to go Claire!!

Wow by the time our kids are done losing teeth the tooth fairy will have invested heavily in our children.

Lara the Jaguar

 

 

 

Lara's Birthday

Lara turned 6, and she was very excited about opening presents this year.  She gets super excited and does not like waiting!!!!

 Claire got her some pop up unicorn slippers (stompeez). The eyes flap up and down as you walk.

 Dad got her some fuzzy Zebra PJs,

 Warren got her some littlest Pet shop supplies.

 Ashlyn got her a good supply of leggings to wear under the dresses and skirts Lara insists on wearing every single day.

 Mom and Davis gave her some more littlest pet shop figurines.

Grandma Solano gave gifts with a Frozen Theme.  The girls had fun modeling the Ana and Elsa wigs.

We ended the day with an awesome dance party to her Birthday CD created by Brock.  Good Tunes.

I can't believe this little girl is 6!!!

 

A Wickedly Awesome Halloween

The ward trunk or treat was on Tuesday.  The kids had a great time.   

 Constantine (AKA Davis) enjoyed his first corn dog and trick or treating experience.  He did not want to put any candy in his bag, but he had candy clenched in each fist and then handed it to different people hoping someone would open it for him.

Edith (AKA Claire)  from Despicable Me ran around with her friends Ava and Olivia.  Clara is on the end from Lara's church class and soccer team. Lara was so busy going from car to car multiple times she didn't have time to foster any friendships.  It was all about the candy.  She used her disguise as one of the 5 Elsa's at the party to trick or treat multiple times to the same trunk.



 Ashlyn lucked out with a homemade costume courtesy of the Carters.  Brooklyn and Ashlyn were matching monsters from the PNK sorority on Monsters University.  Their third eye was painted on and they were ready to go.

 

 COTTON CANDY--even mom had to have some of that!!!

 The kids had fan posing for the cameras in their costumes. Warren just can't keep his tounge in his
                                                                         mouth.


 On the day before Halloween we had Warren's Joy School costume party with games and songs.  It was fun to let them play at the park.  From left to right:  Bronson is Sully, Warren is a Dragon (from the Lego Movie he kept telling everyone), Gavin is Spiderman, Julia is a spooky ghost, Kate is a princess, and Lucas is Flynn Ryder from Tangled. Hey, watch it with that frying pan!!!!!


 Davis was a candy corn angel.

 Lara was the black cat helper with the Joy School kids.  She felt a little old for the group but decided to come have fun anyway.

 We switched around Constantine's mole for Halloween night.  Brock kept giving Davis skittles to keep him happy.

 We went with and trick or treated with a few other family friends up the street from us.  It was a good group of kids.( Not to mention a lot of them...) .

 Who has the best scared face????

               Everyone had a good time trading candies. Ashlyn and friends had a contest to see who could give the most candy to Chelsea's dad Patrick.

Here was the group shot that was photo bombed by Ashlyn.  Had to come up to center stage.  Brock was Davis transportation for the evening. The sugar finally caught up with Davis and he collapsed into a sugar coma letting the Hershey bar fall from his hand smacking the pavement with a thud of melted chocolate still in its wrapper. Or, I guess you could say he fell asleep.... but  '' sugar coma'' sounds way cooler, don't you think ???

Claire's birthday journal

I turned 7 this year and wanted to write about my birthday.  For breakfast I ate FRUITY  PEBBLES--
they were yummy!

 I got to choose 2 friends to take to Playwerx. I brought my friends Abigail and Ava.   During our car ride we drew funny faces on  balloons and when we got there we  played on the slides and in the ball pits. A while later we opened presents.

 We liked posing for the camera and mom got us some funny moustaches to wear.  I can't believe Ashlyn photo bombed our picture!  She was there with two friends for her birthday party too.  Our birthdays are next to each other.  I had so much fun!!!!!!!

My brothers and sisters all got me presents for my birthday.  Warren got me a minion t-shirt, Ashlyn got me a my little pony, Lara got me a activity book, and dad got me a set of Nancy Clancy books (Ashlyn tried to photo bomb that picture too but only her hair got in).

 Great Grandmother Plumb gave me and Ashlyn matching outfits.

 And Grandma and Grandpa Solano came and gave us lots of fun toys and clothes.

 Davis thought my birthday party was a lot of fun too.  He is so cute I like making him laugh.

 This is one of the shirts Grandma Jo gave me.  I love butterflies.  They are one of my favorites.  I love puppies too and hope my mom and dad get one someday.  A couple weeks ago my dad took me to a pet store for our daddy daughter date to pet some animals.  The puppies were so cute.  My favorite book is one of the Fancy Clancy books called "Secret Admirer".  My favorite color is turquoise and I am going into second grade soon and will be playing on the soccer team called the mermaids, the season starts in a couple weeks.

 For my birthday treat my mom made chocolate lava cake for dessert.  I love cake and ice cream.  YUM. It was a fun birthday.
