Christmas

Christmas was so much fun!!! We had a much smaller Christmas but I think we had the most fun this year. We did get that rock band or something like it and Christmas evening my parent and sister came over, so we made them play. It was the funnest thing ever!!!Trent go a skate board that Dusty found very helpful when taking all the toys and things to different rooms in the house. I don't care how it gets done as long as I don't have to do it.

And the only thing I wanted for Christmas was a picture of the kids in front of the tree and they couldn't do it without being silly.

We had so much fun together and I'm so greatful for my kids and for Dusty who

helps me with everything!

Roller Skating!!!

At Skateland they had a $1 day and that called our name. Thanks goodness I didn't have to skate due to the state I'm in and last time I skated, I almost broke my tailbone. Dusty didn't get a break at all!!! The kids wanted him to skate only with them and he did his best. Thay had a blast and Ty turned out to be a great skater.
I made Devin and Trent stand by each other for this picture... can you tell?

Next time we go... we are gonna call everyone to go with us! So be ready!

Devin the cook!!!

Devin made her first dinner for us and it was great!!! She can make dinner all that she wants. We were very proud of her and the boys thought is was pretty cool. She is getting so big.

Christmas is here???

I can't believe x-mas has come and gone. This is of the kids getting the tree ready and Dusty way of getting the star to the top of the tree.

Trent really got in the mood as he always does.

Girl Time!!!

Griggs Girl Time

My sister Andrea and her cute family came down for Thanksgiving and the girls got out of the house for some girl time. What else but to try on dresses for high school dances. Emily and Izzy tried on the dresses and the rest of us were living through them. They were so dang cute and we had a blast. The little girls tired on veils and were crazy.

A date with Dad

Dusty took Devin on a date to the Suns game and they had a blast! I guess basketball isn't just for boys.

The Veiled Chameleons

This is "Dribble" who was named by Ty. She is about 3 weeks old and really cute.
Dribble hates pictures as you can see.


And this is "Miss Nelson" who was named by me. She thinks she is the boss of the cage and Dribble can't stand Miss Nelson. I guess like any other sisters... they fight.

F.Y.I. There is a really cool pet store called Pets, Inc. on the S.E. corner of Southern and Mill. They have really gross creatures (which means cool for boys). They have BIG gross snakes, spiders, turtles, and fish.

Today... something great happened in our home. The boys learned from their dad to clean the toilets. And, they were happy to do it. My sister-in -law Jill posted on her blog, her boys cleaning. So thank you Jill for giving us the idea. Do you see the joy in his face???
This is so dang gross and I'm so happy I don't have to do it. Dusty will have to do some touch-ups per my request.

I know this isn't that great to put on a blog but for mothers out there... you can understand the joy that can come from this. Now... what to teach them next? Maybe to tie their shoes.

It's our B-Day!!!

How many Mom's get to share a birthday with their child? Well, I do!!! Ty and I sang to each other all morning. Dusty and I had big surprises for Ty that day.
We got Ty two Veiled Chameleons and we all are in love with them. We got them before the big day and keep them at my parents house. But unfortunally, I killed one by feeding it a criket that was to big and she couldn't close her mouth. The next day I went to check on her and she wasn't look'in so hot. She died five mins. later in my hand. Kinda gross I know. But I gotta tell ya, I was really depressed. I must have been really bad cuz... my Dad got another one for Ty. So, problem solved and lesson learned! Thanks Mom and Dad.

Dusty and I are now the most boring couple around. We get chairs and sit in front of the cage and watch them forever. What has happened to us? It must be love.



We took the six year old boy to Jonny Rockets and had so much fun with cousin Ava. It was a great day of fun and sharing that day with my man Wesley Ty.

Hamblin's Halloween

This year, we went to Aunt Julie's casa and hada blast!!! This is Ty and Trent with their best cousins Jackson and crazy Riggs.

To the right is Richard Simmons and a aerobics instructor, aka. Ashley and her soon to be husband Shane.

Before the night could start... we had to show the Grandparent and Aunt Alicia.

Sally killed a monster!

Look at her!!! I'm putting her on here because if you have boys... they will love to see the size of this spider. This picture was taken moments before her death. It was either her or I.

Boys trip to Rocky Pointe

Grandma and Grandad Hamblin invited Dust and the boys to Rocky Point last weekend. The had the best time of their lives!!! The boys went fishing and snorkling and riding and swimming! They never stopped and Grandma all was ready went they came back to eat. Uncle Travis showed them to spear fish and Ty caught little fish with his hands.

And whenever we are in Mexico... Ty has to have a sand car made for him to play in. Isn't that the nicest sand car you have ever seen???

Ty and Trent caught crabs and other sea creatures to but in the big bucket.

Thanks so much to Grandad and Grandma for making such a great trip for the boys and taking such good care of my cute boys.

Sleep over!!!

We had the VandeVoorde boys over during fall break for a sleepover. Adding 3 more boys to the mix isn't the smartest idea but they had a blast. I really don't know if they ever went to sleep.

Fall Break

The first day of the break... went to the Phoenix Zoo with Grandpa Stacy and he bought the cotton candy!!! Grandpa had a heart-attack 5 weeks ago and did much better than I did. I was done after 2 hours walking which is pretty sad.
