denied! and alysse's new ride!

I thought i was going to pull a fast one on my children this year for halloween and I was going to pick what they were going to be! I had it alllllll planned out. Ashlyn was going to be a cowgirl and alysse was going to be the cow! I was sooo excited. well in enters my mom who just loves to stir the pot and she informs ashlyn that for the fifth year in a row that she can be a fairy or whatever she wants and that my mom will make her a costume! THANKS MOM! So ashlyn decides that once again she is going to be a fairy... very original! I caved in with one exception...she had to wear the cowboy boots that I had bought her! So she kept her end of the deal and now i have to keep mine dang it!!!!

Then! We went to my favorite place on earth, Target and we found this ingenious little contraption which alysse loves. she was so cute riding it around. pushing all the buttons and being just too cool. she loves her new ride!

my weekend with no children!

I decided that i needed a little "mommy freedom". time to worry about no one or no thing but myself. So I decided to go to colorado and see my two favorite brothers. I was really worried about leaving the girls. I had never left alysse for more than a few hours and here I was leaving her for three days. As all of you know..i am slightly OCD with my lists and things being my way...which of course is the right way. So i was freakin out that after leaving my kids with aaron for three days...that he would not listen to the fifteen page manual on child raising that i left him. and that i would find my house in a "lord of the flys" state when i got home, but to my shock and disbelief he did really well and even did the girls hair, and helped ashlyn prepare a talk for primary. The house was relatively clean and the girls had been feed. I was so proud of him because I knew he was really trying.
I had so much fun pretending to be slightly independent. It was great. We stayed up late laughing, and eating way to much food. i got to see my brother play in his first homecoming college football game...and he did awesome! And got to spend some quality time, shopping with my mom. Which does not happen very often since i have had children... for some reason my mom finds thme so much more interesting then she does me. I would encourage all who read this to take the time to stop for just a minute and spend some time on you, Your husband will appreciate you more ( know mine was glad i was home to do the laundry and do the girls hair) and you realize that you love your kids more than is humanly possible. And you will appreciate the friends that you have, and take advantage of often when you need them to babysitt! Thanks bell...your the best!

i will post pictures from my fun filled weekend soon!

Thank you!!!

Thank you to all who put in their two cents to feed my children! I also googled "healthy meals for kids" and came up with the kraft website! Some of you expressed similar concerns with feeding your children, if so you should really check it out there were snacks, breakfast, lunch, and dinner ideas! And erica as usual you are flippin' martha,betty, and wisteria(sp?) lane all rolled into one! Thanks for the advice! I will let you know how it goes!

I need some help!

The last couple of days my girls have not been that excited about lunch time because the options are very limited. Soooo does anyone have any ideas/reciepes of something different to serve my boried children besides the regular pb and j, mac and cheese, and chicken nuggets! HHHHEEEELLLPPP!

Happy Birthday Aaron!

Thrity years ago today Aaron Bean-ner was born. Happy Birthday honey. We love you! With all the joys of turning thrity...we (bella and I ) decided to throw the boys a surprise birthday party. Jon's b-day is the 16th and Aaron's is well today! We had loads of fun being adults for an hour or two and sitting around laughing and listening to podiatry stories. It comes with the territory! And watching the kids run around and scream.After the night was over we were talking about this year over others in the past. And after six years of marriage and several birthdays we decided we would not change anything about where we are in our lives. We feel so blessed. We have two beautiful daughters. great friends. and eachother! Aaron is working towards a great job. our families support us, and over-all we are happy!

Ten reasons I am happy to have aaron in our lives!

1. We laughed together day

2. Went on a family bike ride.

3. ate dinner as a family.

4. watching the girls scream "da-da' when he walks in the door.

5. Snuggling on the couch watching a movie.

6. He is my best friend and biggest fan

7. I have some to share good sushi with

8. we both love to ski

9. Tells the girls stories.

10. makes life a blessing!

Two Piggies and a super star!

Alot has been happening at the beaner house. For starters I was sooooo excited when this morning I got alysse's mullet into TWO PIGGIE TAILS! It lookes kinda weird but it looks alot better then her mullet. So yeah for alysse. Secondly ashlyn was chosen this week to be the "super Start" for her kindergarden class. This is a serious honor! She gets to bring a special "non health" snack on friday! She gets to sit in the super star chair, help with the calendar, and weather, and shew gets to be the first in line where ever the class goes.And she gets to bring in a poster with pictures on it and talk to the class about her family, friends and pets (that we have gotten rid of since that always seems to be the outcoming for pets in our house!!) She is feeling pretty diva at this point. Until yesterday when she came home and I asked "ashlyn how was the first day of being the SUPER STAR?" in which she replied. " mom is was sooo fun everyone was like totally into me." Wondering if i had heard her correctly i asked "what" "how were they into you?" She goes "well everyone wanted to sit by me at snack time, and when I walked in everyone said hey super star, hey super star and everyone wanted to be by me at story time....they were all so into me!" So there it is folks! I have a major diva on my hands....to bad next week there will be a new super star and she will be a has been! But we are on cloud nine thru friday!

OUR little family bike ride!

We finally got bikes after years of wanting them. And we have been enjoying several family bike rides. So I decided to bring my camera on our little outing. We were having a great time but after a few minutes of family fun, we looked up to see a huge black cloud moving in our direction.... ashlyn wanted to keep riding until it started raining. and then a complete down pour.! Ashlyn starts screaming "now i dont have to take a bath!" So we let the kids play in the raion as we laughed at them. It was a great way to end a long stressful week!

Bittersweet!!!
