OOPS!

The other day Ammon got in trouble so I sent him upstairs to his room for a time-out. Later I went upstairs to put a load of laundry in and I found Ammon alseep at the top of the stairs. Oops! I completely forgot that I had sent him to time-out.

Has this ever happened to you??

Birthday dinner

We let our kids pick where they want to eat lunch and dinner on the day of their birthday. Because Ammon's birthday was Sunday this year, we went out on Saturday night and then I made dinner at our house and invited Jason's mom over to eat with us.

I asked Ammon where he wanted to go to dinner. He said "McDonalds!" I told him we should pick something nice and he replies, "Taco Bell?" I was hoping for Applebees, Chilis, or Olive Garden... anything but McDonalds. So... you guessed it.... we ended up at McDonalds for Ammon's birthday dinner.

Ammon is 5!

It's the day we've all been waiting for.... Ammon finally turned 5 years old! Ammon's actual birthday as Sunday, but you know how it is with a sunday birthday... it is celebrated all weekend long. He has been in heaven. On Saturday we had his birthday party. (This year was Ammon's year to have a friend birthday party.) We went to Classic Fun Center. They had an area that had like 7 bounce houses and a jungle jim in it. A perfect place to entertain 10 5-year-olds. We had pizza, drinks, cake and ice cream. We were assigned a party hostess that took care of us during the party. PERFECT! If any of you are wondering where to go for your next party.... Classic Fun Center is the place. Here are a few pictures from the party.... Ammon blowing out his candles on his "Darth Vader" birthday cake. Okay... I think Ammon's had WAY too much sugar! Ammon and his friends from his class. (can my son have a normal face in a picture for once??)

Family Home Evening

I asked Taliana what she wanted to do for Family Home Evening tonight and she said she wanted to play with my hair and put earings in my ears. I was too tired and my hair was in a bun, so I told her to find something else to do. Jason said, "you can play with my hair." So.... she did.... Ammon even had fun doing it as well.


Can you notice the earings, too??

Just your friendly neighborhood Spiderman(s)

My nephew, Ashton, slept over last night. He brought his Spiderman Nerf set for him and Ammon to play with. They were in heaven.

Ammon

Ammon is 4, ready to turn the magical age of 5. He thinks that is when he will know it ALL. And have so many more privileges than when he was 4 years old. We will see. If I say he can't do something, he will just respond with, "How about when I am five??" Ammon is going to Pre-K at Highland Park Elementary School. So he and Taliana get to go to school together. They have gone to the same school ever since they started going to preschool, so this school worked out perfectly for us. (I have to drive across town to this school. It is WELL worth it.) Ammon is our little jokester in the family. He is always making us laugh. We love him for that. He is also a movie FAN-atick. He loves to watch movies and will remember all the good one liners from them as well. His favorite actor right now is Will Ferrel (then again, who doesn't love that guy). Ammon loves to play the x-box and can't wait for his dad to come home at night so they can pass two levels of Lego Star-Wars. Ammon loves being a big brother to his new little sister, Malia. He loves to babysit, but only when Malia is in her swing. He will sing and dance for her to make her smile. It is SO cute.
