4th Of July Celebration!

We LOVE being in IF for the 4th, there is nothing better. I love sharing experiences that I once enjoyed as a kid with my kids.. We did the parade and then hit the park for our annual picnic.. We had a blast!

Memorial Day Camping

We went camping this weekend with the family to McCoy Creek, we had lots of fun riding the 4-wheelers, roasting Marshmallows, and hanging out with our cousins!

Miss Art~

Bailey is definitely my little artist.. She gets all bent out of shape too when I wont let her use my Stampin' Supplies. She has also informed me that she wants a marker set like mine.. I figure when she can take care of the $4 ones then maybe I'll buy her the high dollar ones! Not!

This is a picture of her "G" for Giraffe Bailey's Art Teacher showed her how to paint water Lillie's and Lilly pads today.. She made this painting for her daddy!

Hello!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all have a Special Holiday Season! We have been very busy here in GA, and are happy to be getting back to School and normal!

Here are a few pictures for updates since I've been HORRIBLE at updating for the last few months...

I celebrated my 30th Birthday~ It pays to have a sister who makes FANTASTIC cakes!!School "fall" party!Halloween!Bailey's 6th Birthday Party~ High School Musical Theme

Bailey LOVES Troy- mom doesn't think he's to bad either ;)

Ward Christmas Party with Santa

Bailey got Birthday money from Grandpa and Grandma Averett and decided instead of Toys that she would like to get a Mani/Pedi at the Salon!

Issac has taken to sneaking downstairs at 2am on Friday nights to play video games. We caught on to it when he fell asleep at 10 am out of the blue..

And lastly our Gigi had her first litter of babies.. They were are so sweet and each had their own personality.. I can't say that I was sad when we sold them but they were fun to have around. They all were adopted into wonderful families and we keep in touch! Happy 2009 to all you! Love the Cordero's

Cub Scout Pack Meeting and Puppies

Issac received his Bobcat award tonight at our monthly pack meeting. He's been working very hard to achieve his different badges and we are so proud of him The puppies are 10 days old now!! Bailey has been waiting very patiently to get her little hands on the little babies.. She is so motherly and just loves to check in on them and make sure they are all doing well! Oh, and she has named them Bella, Edward and Issac has named one of the girls Katana.. (a name from Halo, no doubt)

Love you all, thanks for all the great comments you all leave. I enjoy hearing from you all!
Hugs,
Tiffany and FAM!

New Puppies & some Magic

Gigi surprised us last friday when we got home with three beautiful baby girls! I had to leave again and when we got home later friday night she had added a little boy to the mix.. She did very well and did an amazing job getting everything cleaned up! I was really surprised when this all happened, we weren't expecting our little ones until late Sept. One of the girls died on Sunday but the rest of the pups are doing amazing! I have to say Peanut is one proud Daddy and has poked around in the kennel to check on the babies.. I've also caught him sitting in there with Gigi and the babies too! Gigi is so sweet and just lets him check things out..

We went to Fudruckers this last Saturday and Issac got to help the Magician!
Here's Bailey watching the show!

First Day Back!!

Every parents dream right? I love my kiddo's but there is nothing better than having them back in school!
Issac who has now informed me that he is going by his first name Roberto is in 4th grade this year (despite this change I will still call him ISSAC!). He started a new Elementary since our move and has quickly found new friends despite the size of the school and amount of kids attending. It's HUGE! He has also been learning how to play the Guitar, Robert gave him both his Electric (HELLO!!) and Acoustic guitars and his amp.. Can we say SPOILED? Yes we can! I also informed Robert that he will NOT be getting any new equipment any time soon.. :) Check out the "HAWK"- No one wears their hair cooler ;)
My little Baby Bailey started Kindergarten this year! She has been so excited and loves her new teacher Mrs. Archer. Although she is adverse to waking up sooo early she does well and enjoys being with her new friends and her favorite subject is "Play Dough"
Her school is HUGE too, there are 350 Kindergarten students at her school and it's overwhelming how many kids are crammed into this stupid town.. :)
After attending the Kindergarten back to school night I quickly realized why they have split the elementary into 2 different schools.

Also those of you who might be interested in my newest obsession of the "Twilight" Book series will be interested to know that I finished Breaking Dawn in the first 20 hours of its release and have continued to read it over and over again. (5 times to be exact) I absolutely LOVE it, LOve it Love IT!!!! So leave me some comments and let me know what you thought of the book, because anyone who know me will tell you that I love to dish about Twilight..

Hugs to you all,

Tiff & Fam

July Updates

When we were grocery shopping the kids insisted on getting a "real" coconut to see what all the hype is about. So we got a couple and went home and smacked 'em open. I figured it would be next to impossible but they opened up fairly quick and easy by smacking them on the front steps. Baileys was rotten inside which made the meat come right out and left a nice empty coconut shell for her to play with. Issac's on the other hand was perfectly well and we all tried "coconut milk" and some of the meat.. Soon after the lost interest and of course I was left cleaning up the mess!!

This last weekend we hit the lake with Mechelle and her family, this is a great pic of Issac stuffing Cheetos in as fast as he can. There is just something about water that makes you hungry!

It took Bailey ALL day to decide if she was going to go out on the tube, when she finally did she loved it and wanted to keep going! It looks like Carson is mad and Madison is bored :) Here is Issac and Makayla, they were the first ones out and had a BLAST!


We hit the pool on the 4th to cool off and have some fun~ I love pictures of the kids in their goggles!

Later that evening we hit a BBQ with some friends from church and had such a nice time! Issac really got into catching bugs and kept himself occupied for quite a while!
As it started getting darker we roasted some Marshmallow's and made S'mores the kids all opted to make their own S'more roasting stick from the pile by the trees~

We ended the evening with Fireworks and Sparklers!! Thanks Berry's for such a great day!

Cub Scout Pack Meeting

For Issac's CSPM this month they did a Talent show, all of the boys were to come with their Talent prepared.. Issac thought long and hard about this and came up with Bubble Blowing. Now, I've know that Issac loves to use up all of the Shampoo when he takes a shower blowing bubbles for hours with his hands and even his mouth, but I never thought about him doing this for the talent show.. Needless to say (being the proud momma that I am) Issac's was the BEST!! He usually gets silly when he has to get up in front of a crowd but tonight he played it cool and did AWESOME!! We are super proud that he is growing into such a great kid!

Coosawattee River Trip

This week we took a quick trip over to Ellijay Ga and visited the Coosawattee River Tubing Co.- We planned a 3 hour trip down the river in a tube. They didn't tell us about the "beaver sharks" that lurk right below the surface. When we got to the river I soon found that a "beaver shark" was a big rock, and there were LOTS of big rocks all the way down the river. I think we are all alittle sore from the trip and sun burnt. But we did have a ton of fun. I will post more pictures of the actual trip when we get our water camera developed..
Hugs,
The Cordero's

A DAY AT LAKE ALLATOONA BEACH

We spent all afternoon yesterday at the Beach on lake Allatoona. The water was perfect the sun was out and friends were everywhere. We had such a blast, all of our friends from church were there, we all packed lunches and spent the day playing and visiting. Issac loves to dig in the sand and build all kinds of "Sand Cities", when he got a hold of the fishing net and realized how many little fish there were swimming around he quickly got to it! Its fun to see how many you can catch in the net! Last year camping, I was laying in the water close to the shore and kept feeling this nibbling on my legs and toes. After freaking out I realized that it was just little fish. But I did decide it was a little too creepy for me and found myself somewhere else..
My babies LOVE the water, we've either been in our pool, a friends pool, or the lake at least everyday for the last 6 days! I'm thinking today will be a nice comfy day inside NO WATER-
BIG HUGS!!

Here are a few pictures of Bailey with her Pre-K teachers Ms. Sutton and Ms. Lancaster! She had such a great year and we are going to miss her teachers so much! Oh! Did you notice the cute little Cupcake Bouquets the teachers are holding? So, I made these Super Yummy little Cupcake Pops and put them together in a bouquet for all the kids teachers, I also made some fun Recipe books for them!
Here's my BOY! We are so proud of him! He did AWESOME on his CRCT tests this year. They are a HUGE deal here in Georgia and we couldn't be more proud of all of his hard work and dedication he put into them! He also got a special award from his teacher for his efforts!

This is a picture of him at the School's award ceremony. He received this award for EXCEEDING in Science in his CRCT's!
Another Award Ceremony took place in his classroom where he received lots more of awards!
And lastly but not least here is our little GIGI! She is the 2nd addition to our little Yorkie Dog Family. She and Peanut are getting along well and she is such a sweet, cute baby! She loves to be held and doesn't mind it when Bailey and her friends tote her all around hades in her shopping cart. It's funny to watch.
So after taking a billion and a half pictures this is the best I could come up with. She just didn't want to look at the camera. Oh, and she and Peanut have matching Pink and Blue Polo Style shirts!
