Iphone

So, Ryan ordered the new I phone, cause he dropped his phone in the street and someone swiped it, not returning it for a full day, even after he tracked it and left a note on the car...

Anyway, he ordered the new IPhone 4 s just before the man called to return his other iPhone. He told me I could use his Perfectly fine iphone. I have resisted getting an iPhone due to just getting used to my blackberry. But now I'm sending this from the mac store, and I'm sold. iPhone, hopefully, here I come.

Best quote of the day!

Couldn't resist this one when someone put it on Facebook. ENJOY!

California Discovery Museum 8-25-11

We met up with the Talbot clan again, our zoo friends who live in Lancaster, Ca. This time we met at the Discover and Science Museum in Los Angeles. In the parking lot there was a pendulum with a Toyota Tundra on one end and three ropes spread out on the other end. You try to pull down on each rope and see which was easiest to lift the tundra off the ground. Obviously the rope that was on the farthest end of the pendulum, was easiest since there was less weight to pull. I don't know all the logistics of the pendulum, but the girls loved feeling like they were so strong.

Naomi was determined to stand there till the beek pushed it's way all the way through the shell of the eggs. I had to explain to her that it would take almost two days for a little chicken to push all the way through it's shell. She fought me, but ended up walking away since we didn't have two days to stand there.

I had Audrey strapped in the stroller and didn't take her out, except to change her diaper. I couldn't handle her squirming and crawling everywhere while trying to keep track of Naomi and Heidi all over the museum.

First Day of School 2011

Naomi's First Day of 2nd Grade at Mayflower Elementary

While walking toward Mayflower from the alley near the cross walk to Mayflower Elementary School, we happened to walk into Mia, Naomi's best friend from 1st grade. They were so excited to see each other after a long summer apart. It was adorable to see how giddy they were, even walked hand in hand at one point. Adorable. I might have cried if we weren't coming upon a school full of kids and parents. I couldn't lose it yet. (Actually I was jumping for joy that school was starting again.)

So happy to see that she was excited for a new class and new year. This is her desk. duh

Heidi's First Day of Preschool at First Presbyterian Church.

Her teacher is Ms Val.

Heidi and Mia, her BFF from last years preschool class with Ms Tina.

Heidi and Harry Terrill, first day of school/after school slurpee's. Harry came home with us for a play date. It was so hot that I had to treat the kids to a cold slurpee. Can you see in Heidi's eyes what sugar does to her? Not a joke. It turns her into the hulk.

I wish I could video Heidi and Harry playing. They are so cute, have cute conversations and get along so well. This time they were playing Repunzel and Harry was taking care of her. I couldn't believe she laid there with all those hot blankets on her. I was hot inside the house. Can't imagine how sweaty she was laying in the outside heat.

Time out for Heidi! August 28th 2011

This is what happens 90% of the time when Heidi sits in Time Out in the Jack and Jill bathroom at our house. She can't just sit there sulking in her own guilt. She has to be angry and aggressive to show that she is mad at me for getting/making her in trouble. So she unrolls the whole roll of toilet paper. This was an easy one. Usually it is the whole roll. I got lucky this day since, you can tell, it was toward the end of the roll.

Just another day or event in the Rossiter Home.

Audrey's First Birthday 8-12-11

On Audrey's actual first birthday we were in San Clemente. I had bought these skinny jeans and pink shirt just for her. Most of her other cloths are hand me downs from Naomi. So I thought it would be nice to have some up to style jeans, and I couldn't resist the ballet pink shirt.

This is her crazy face. She pulls her lip down to the right and stiffens up. It's funny when she does it on que, or to just make people laugh at her cause she has realized it gets a rise out of us.


The Friday after her birthday, we threw her a bar-b-q party. Chris, Caroline and Dara were the only guests, but we didn't have a lot of time to plan, having come from the beach.

Naomi, Dara and Heidi.

Audrey's Cupcake Cake.
I tried so hard to get a picture of her with this b-day hat on, but she wasn't having it.

She loved the cupcake. Put her fingers right in and made a huge mess all over her face.
Nooooo don't take it away.!
Gifts! Opening a really cute dress from Caroline.

Pure Heaven!

I had my very tired girls lay on the couch and sit quietly while I read scriptures to them. As you can tell, they were very quiet. Even fell into a quiet slumber. SUCCESS!!! Never happens or has happened again. But this one night I felt such joy and peace. No struggle to get them in bed, and stay there. Just quiet slumber. I did have to move them, but it was worth it.

End of Summer Ice Cream Social and Family Theme for this School Year!

So we have a fun family in our ward who have fun ideas and are just fun to be around. They planned this fun back to school/end of summer ice cream social. I didn't get a chance to edit the photos, so I hope you enjoy them anyway. Let's not forget to mention that Dawn, the mom and wife is 8 months pregnant. She is super mom in so many ways. Seriously!

Family theme 2011!

I follow Stephanie Nielson's blog (http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/2011/08/back-to-school-feast-2011.html) and copied her theme for back to school/family life this year. She is so creative, and inspiring, with creative things for her kids. The theme is from the scripture Alma 37:6.

..." but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are
great things brought to pass "...

Our crowns are not as elaborate as her kids, but my girls had fun making them. They sit on to of our family room book shelf to hopefully remind them that they have the potential to become great.
