DeMille Happenings

KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM

 

Brock graduated from Kindergarten!! His class had been learning some cute songs and working so hard at getting ready for this program. Brock was looking forward to it and was so excited! We get to the program only for Brock to get so nervous that he gets diahreah and then pukes. They started the program late cuz they were waiting for him! They ended up starting without him since he was in the bahroom puking! I felt so bad for the kid! As soon as he got it out of his system he was fine and was able to join his class for the program. But throughout the entire thing he looked scared to death and almost as though he was just sick. As soon as it was over he was bouncing off the walls and asking to go get ice cream!! What a kid!! And to top it all off we couldn't get the disk in the video camera to work and so we didn't get any of it on film! :( We are so proud of Brock he is such a smart and determined student! CONGRATS BUD WE LOVE YOU!!

A BAD OWIE

The picture says it all. Corbin along with the dining room chair fell on top of Daxton and made him look as if he had been in a bad fight!! He was so upset and so was Corbin and even MaKelle! But he healed so fast and was back to himself by the next day! Just another day with a house full of kids!!

AT THE CARNIVAL

 

Yes we went and yes all the kids had a blast! Sometimes these traveling carnivals make me a little leary, but we always go and the kids love it! Brock was even tall enough to ride some of the bigger rides and he loved them!!

CRUZING IN STYLE

Since the kids have been out of school we pulled the old hummer out of the garage and introduced the babies to it. They loved it!! They spent hours climbing in and out of it and driving around in it with Brock! Don't they look like their having a blast!! :)

1st VISIT FROM THE TOOTH FAIRY

Brock lost his 1st tooth just before school got out! He was so excited to put it under his pillow! The tooth fairy enjoyed leaving him some money so he could go buy a glitter ball! Now he can't wait for another tooth to fall out! What a cute toothless smile!!

LOVIN TOMATOES

Just had to share this dang cute pic!! Thanks Nicole for taking such a cute photo!

"PLAY BALL"

 

Brock started his second year of T-ball and is really excited about it! He has a good coach and seems to be learning alot. It is so fun to watch him play and get excited about it and interact with the other kids. He loves batting of course and tries so hard to hit a home run every time! Love that kid!

Turning 1 is so much FUN!!!

We made it through the first year!! WOW!! What a ride! And so to celebrate MaKelle and Daxton's 1st birthday we had to go all out and have a bash! I searched online for birthday ideas and came up with a very simple gender friendly theme of "bugs in the flower garden." I had fun planning and decorating! We had a BBQ, lunch opened presents and of course ate cake!! Daxton went crazy with his cake! MaKelle was a little more dainty and mostly just pulled off the gumdrops and ate them! By the time they were done Dax was covered from head to toe with frosting. He demolished his cake! MaKelle was also covered but not nearly as bad and her cake was still somewhat in tact! It was so fun to watch them! I cant believe they are one allready and it was a bitter sweet birthday party for me!

THE INVITE


THE PARTY

 

I made bugs and butterfly's on my Cricut and hung them on our deck and stuck them into our lawn on some skewers. We had bug plates and napkins, and my Mom (who saved me by coming down and helping me so much - I love you M & D!!!)she decorated my yellow cups with stripes for bees and my red cups with polka dots for ladybugs. I made flowers with cookies and gumdrops, had a wheelbarrow to put the gifts in and a toy wheelbarrow with the party favors in them for the kids. MaKelle had a butterfly cake and Daxton had a caterpillar, then I made a third cake for everyone else with bugs and flowers on it! I had fun planning and preparing, but was also so glad when it was all over with!!

DAXTON

 

Daxton is such a sweet cuddly boy! I absolutely LOVE his red curls and kissable cheeks. He is finally starting to walk and is cutting his 1st tooth (now that he's 1). Daxton loves to play with trucks and drive them all over the house on his knees. He always has his tongue hanging out and is great at giving wet slobbery kisses. He loves Elmo and Elmo is actually one of the words he can say! He is 20 lbs. of all boy! He loves to be outside and playing in the sandbox. Most of all he loves to hang out on Mommy's hip!! (we wish he would learn to sleep through the night though :p) WE LOVE OUR DAX!!


MAKELLE

 

MaKelle is a busy body! she loves to learn and discover new things and is like a sponge picking up on new things she sees others do all the time. She is always so happy, smiling and waving HI all the time! She loves to talk in her own little person language and gives lots of loves and kisses. Makelle weighs in below her younger brother at 17 lbs. She enjoys being outside and would love to be out there all day long picking all my flowers and tearing them into pieces. She loves her softie (blanket) and is attached to it for a good 1/2 hour after she wakes up in the morning and after every nap. She is definately a princess and is spoiled since she is the only girl! WE LOVE YOU KELLE!!

WAITING PATIENTLY FOR MY PARTY TO BEGIN


THE WHOLE FAM

1st Lake Powell trip of the Summer

 

We took our first trip out on the houseboat over Memorial Day weekend and we had a great time! Needless to say every trip has its ups and downs. We arrived at the houseboat to find the doors were not locked after some maintenance was done and they were wide open! We had ALOT of cleaning to do right away. But we all enjoyed much swimming, playing in the sand, sunbathing, skiing/tubing, and of course eating!! We had some rain and wind, but some great sunshine too. Brock knee boarded for the first time, Corbin went down the slide unwillingly and cried until he got out of the water, and the babies enjoyed every minute in the sand and water. It was a memorable trip!! All I can say is I love having a houseboat at the lake!


Corbin SCARED TO DEATH about being sent down the slide alone!


Crying hysterically!!


Brock coming down the slide and being sure to plug his nose.


He made it and is so proud of himself!
