Updated blogger

Hi all, for those of you who have wondered where in the world we have been on our posting, I have been slacking. Yes, I admit it, I have been slacking on the update world! LOL. If you'll notice there are now archived postings for much longer back then we've been a part of the Fennimore family. There are pictures from when Sean was about a year old, when Sky was born, up to Easter of this year. I have posted current pictures up on my Picasa website if you'd like to check them out. Up to when Sharon and Vince came down and visited from Alaska. Skylynn is currently up there visiting with them. Sean had gone to Texas for amonth to visit with his Grandma and Grandpa Ellis. Bonus was he got to see his "Daddy James" again for the first time since he was 9 months old, and got to meet his new baby brother Brandon. He seemed to have had a good time and enjoyed himself. He is already looking forward to going out there again next summer.

Sean and I traveled to San Diego for a week, and returned last Friday evening. Michealle and I went through our mother's Star Trek stuff to catalog and price it out to finish paying off her funeral costs on Michealle's credit cards. Is hard to do, but we got it done. Got to spend some quality time with my sister, and Sean got to spend some quailty time with Lore and Imala while we were doing this. Minus the time in the ER with Michealle after she gave herself a concussion. Poor thing was miserable for a few days! Sean was really good while we were down there, I was so proud of him! Sean, Lore, and I went down to the beach Thursday afternoon, we had an absolute blast! Brought change of shorts for everyone cause we were just supposed to go wading in the water not swimming... water was a little rough so I went in with the kids, and got hit by a few rouge waves. Needless to say the boys got SOAKED, and wore sweaters/jackets home instead of wet shirts. I got to wear my semi-sun dried shirt home with dry pants. But it was so worth it. We were laughing screaming maniacs for like 2 hours. Running back and forth in and out of the water, getting splashed, it was a lot of fun. I'll treasure it!

Skylynn is now 4, wow where have the years gone? Had her birthday party few weeks ago, she made out like a bandit! Aaron, Katie, Keaton, and Lilly all came down from LA for a weekend with Sharon and Vince. It was nice to have the family all together. She posted pictures we took as a family and from when they were here. I just have to figure out how to download the ones I want so I can post them! Sky will be going to preschool on Tues, Wed, and Thurs mornings, thank you Vince and Sharon, and she is excited she gets "to go to school like Sean" It'll be nice to have few hours in mornings to just Serena and I. Going to have to figure out a new routine!

Audrey is getting ready to move out at the end of the week. We're sad to see her go, but also excited for the next stage in both of our lives. We've done well together these past 3 years, and I know we'll still be best friends for many years to follow. We'll miss her, but it's nice she'll be just down the street from us. Kids will love going to her house to spend the night and such. Sean is already talking about it. She is going to take Sean to his first professional baseball game on August 8th in Phoenix. It is between San Diego and the Diamond Backs. Sean is so lucky, I am jealous! LOL.

Serena is coming along on her potty training. Discovered if she is naked she really doesn't pee on the floor! LOL. If she has underwear on she will pee a lot on the floor, but if she's runnin around bottomless she gets to the potty more often than not. I am excited that we're getting somewhere with this, cause she wants to go on the potty, but she is too busy playing most the time to get it it seems like! She is too busy hehehheeh. I cannot believe she is almost 2 already! The day after I get home from Anchorage to pick up Skylynn is her birthday, and that Saturday is her birthday party!

Sean is going to start 1st grade on August 16th, another school year about to begin. He is excited in a way, but also wants to still stay at home with mom, crazy huh? But he'll have fun when he starts again. Probably won't have most of his class there next year, most of them were going to TUSD. God knows why, is horrible school district! But that is ok, guess they need the busing and the free lunches.

Now if the kids will stop fighting with eachother, that would make for a perfect world.... Seems Sean is ALWAYS in the thick of it. Either him and Skylynn or him and Serena. Makes me wonder sometimes. Think is just cause he's a boy, or because they're sisters? Oh well, learning experience, for all of us!

Gotta go feed the kids snack! TTYS love to all from us here in Tucson!

Old Tucson Trip

So Intuit hosted Chris's department at Old Tucson Studios on Saturday and we had a blast! It was a lot of fun, both the kid and the adults were tired by the time we got home. Lucky for us, Audrey watched Serena so we didn't have to fight her taking a nap while we were there. Next year she'll be able to come! LOL. Here are the pictures from us going there. Enjoy!

Our love to all! Tiffany, Chris, Emma, Sean, Sky, and Serena!

Easter pics

Please excuse the convoluted way that blogger decided to put the pictures together on this post. Not sure what happened and I couldn't fix it. But here are the pictures of Easter, and the end of them are the kids playing in the bubble maker that Serena got from the Easter Bunny. They had a blast! ((And Yes.... that is a sword she is trying to pop them with...))

Hope everyone had a good Easter, these are just a few that we took. If you want to see all of them, they are on my picasa web site. Have a great week.

Love, 

Tiffany and Family

It's been awhile...

Hello everyone,

Sorry for being so lax in my updates, it's pathetic it's been 4 months! So new adventures in our life, we have a new niece from Aaron and Katie, she's cute as a button! Lilian was born on February 8th and her and mom did great! The new family looks awesome!

We've been plugging along with the 3 extra kids in our house since November 4th. It's been a joy and trial, but the good news is it looks like they'll be able to go home to their mom soon! I'm going to miss them, but it's whats best for everyone involved! I'm looking forward to just my 3 kids all the time. You think it's crazy with 3? Try 6 ranging from 7 down!

We had a good visit with Vince and Sharon when they came down from Alaska in February! We had a lot of fun hanging out at the condo with them, and Sky got her special grandma grandpa time! She asks all the time when we're going to see them again. She gets to go to AK this summer for like 3 weeks. I get to go up and pick her up, it'll be my first trip to AK. I do hope that it's not freezing cold when I get there LOL. Chris said should be in 60-70's so thats not to bad I guess... LOL!

Sean is getting to go to his Grandmother Ellis' house for a month this summer. He gets out of school on May 26th and then gets to go to San Antonio on the 29th, and will come home a month later! I'm going to miss my kids this summer a bit I think! But they're both excited about it.

Sean got an award this trimester for Academic Achievement, basically it's honor roll. He was so proud of himself it was so cute! He got to choose what he wanted for his treat, and he decided he wanted to go to a movie with dad, so they went out last Friday night. He was so excited it was cute.

Emma is doing well with school and things. She had another loose tooth on Saturday that I imagine that she's lost already. Not sure what her grades or anything are I haven't seen her report card.

We're getting ready for Easter this sunday, we're going to color eggs on Saturday so I'm hoping to post some new pictures this weekend or early next week with the coloring and the Easter egg hunt here at home. We're going to just do that here at home this year, and then in the afternoon after nap time we're going to be going to my cousin Liz and her family's house for the afternoon dinner and family time. The kids are looking forward to it! I still have to go get the stuff for the baskets but hopefully I can do that this afternoon or evening. I already know what I want to get them, but just have to wait to see! LOL. Below will be a few current pictures of everyone, mostly from the Ren Fair. We had a blast!

Hope life is treating everyone well, and I'm going to try and keep everyone a little more posted now that life seems like it's going to be slowing down for us. May the powers that be keep everyone safe and well til we talk again.

Love,
The Fennimore Family!
