Family Pictures 2012!

I have been wanting to take family photos forever! We don't have ANY as a family with Brycen in them, and he is already a year old! Every year, Expressions Dance company has a photographer from Sweden come and take pictures for the program book. He'd taken my photos for expressions for years and I always loved the way they'd turn out. We had him take pictures of us when Rylee was about two weeks old. I wasn't sure if we'd be able to get in with him, but, last minute we were able to! Chad talked to him Monday night and we had our pictures done Wednesday afternoon. I am SO thankful he could do it and I absolutely LOVE all the pictures!!

We took a lot of our pictures in Grandma Munz's backyard. When Hak saw her he said he'd like to photograph her and asked if we thought she'd let him. Chad went and asked her and she was willing to do it! I'm SO glad she did because they came out great and now we have awesome pictures of Grandma!

While we were taking pictures Pop-Pop flew over! It was pretty cool to be standing in Grandma's back yard and have him fly right over our heads! He ended up coming over during some of our photos and was trying to help get the little ones' attention. He was doing the shuffle and it was pretty entertaining! He wasn't aware but Hak snapped a picture of him mid shuffle ;)

I'm so blessed with a beautiful Family and was thankful to get such wonderful pictures of all of us!!

My Girl Rocks!

Yesterday was the first awards assembly of the school year. This is also Rylee's first year on the Pep squad and they usually do a few cheers at the assembly. They didn't get their uniforms yet so I wasn't sure if they'd cheer or not. I knew Ry would be receiving awards, and of course I wanted to be there, but it's so hard with things being on Wednesday's because I really don't like missing BSF! When I talked to her coach and she told me they'd be doing a few cheers, I knew where I needed to be. Ry was ok with me possibly having to miss, but there are just some things I don't want to miss. I'm so glad I didn't miss because not only did she get Principle's Honor Roll, she also got the Christian Character award!! Christian Character is an award they give every quarter but only to two children per class! It's a very honorable award and I feel so blessed that my beautiful girl received it!! We also took family pictures yesterday! I'm picking up the dvd's today and can't wait to share them!!

Wings over Homestead

Today was the perfect day to spend some time outside! Lucky for us the Wings over Homestead air show was today! Meg wanted to take Josh, and luckily My Mom was off of work, so we were all able to go! We decided it would be too much to lug a stroller around so, unfortunately, Brycen didn't get to come :( Thankfully I have some awesome in-laws who volunteered to keep him, so we were able to enjoy the show with the older ones! It was Chad, Ry, Dylan, Me, my Mom, Dad, Meg, Danny, and Josh. We really enjoyed the show! The stunt planes are absolutely AMAZING!! In the beginning there were 2 trick planes that flew head on into each other right in front of the crowd (about 20 feet from the ground) And turned last minute! We got to take our picture inside the engine of a Delta Airliner! And the Budweiser Clydesdale's paraded around! All together it was a great day! So thankful for these beautiful days with my Wonderful Family!! 

Dylan turns 3!!

Three years ago today, God blessed us with our 3rd Child. Dylan is really at a fun age! He is a little rough at times, and loves to aggravate Landyn, but, the conversations I have with him are hilarious!! Really, he's always kind of been a funny kid, but lately, he's even more funny than before! He always seems to have a smile on his face! This morning Chad went and got the kids doughnuts. Then we had another Birthday Party to go to. After the Birthday party Chad, the boys, and I (Ry was at dance) headed up to Bass Pro shops. I thought the point of the trip was to get the boys new camo overalls since theirs are too small, I realize now that the trip was really for Chad to get stuff for his trip to Montana! Nonetheless, the boys had a good time and ended up getting a toy I know Dyl will play with for a while! Then we headed home, picked up Chicken Kitchen, had my parents and Chad's parents over for dinner, and then my Brother and Alyssa joined us for cake! All together it was a pretty great day celebrating Dylan's birth!!

My Gorgeous Girl Turns 8!!

Eight years ago today, God blessed me with the gift of Motherhood! It used to drive me crazy when people would tell me " Enjoy every minute cause it goes so fast!". I used to think "yeah, whatever". Well, I am living proof that it really DOES go SO fast! I cannot believe that I have an 8 year old! We butt heads a lot, and she sure can be sassy, but she is such a blessing and I am truly happy to be her Momma! I took cake to school and the class sang Happy Birthday to her. I signed her and her friend Jenna out of school early, we went and got a milkshake at Knaus Berry farm, Then we headed to the movies to see Wreck it Ralph. After the movie we did a little shopping for her NYC trip with Meme and Ali, Then met Chad, my parents, and Meme and Pop-Pop for dinner at Capri!

 

The Annual Munz Family Halloween Bash!

For the past four years we've had a Halloween/Birthday party for Rylee and Dylan since their Birthdays are so close to Halloween. This year it was just our Annual Halloween Bash, since I didn't have a party for Landyn or Brycen, I didn't think it was fair to call it Ry and Dylan's "Birthday" party. We have a lot of friends that don't live in neighborhoods so I feel it is a fun way to get everyone together and go trick-or-treating. I make a hayride float and we have a caravan of golf carts that follow. Chad was out of town until about noon the day of the party, so getting everything together last minute was a bit stressful, but, we always pull it off and have a great time!
