Alex WALKS at 14 MONTHS(MAY)!!!

Here is our cute little guy walking...he may have been slow to start, but now he is running and so...cute at it!!!Our 2 younger kids have been late walkers, I think it is because we weren't in any hurry for them to walk and their siblings always pick them up...oh well...we like to stay little just a little longer...I don't want them to grow up...love them so...little!!!=-)
Our CUTE ALEX BOY walking w/his pacifier in his mouth! LOVE HIM!!=-)

CUTE GIRLS= FOAM ROLLERS AND CURLS!=-)

Here are my cute girls in their foam rollers...they beg me almost every night to put foam rollers in their hair...I don't do it every night, but we do it quite a bit!!! They love it as you can tell... The Posing, Silly Cuties...Kate loves to keep that tongue out!

Look at the what foam rollers can do to a little girl's hair, make it pretty curly, can't see Kate's as well, but by looking at Taylor's, you can see it can get pretty curly!!! This often reminds me of when I was a little girl, my mom used to put foam rollers in my hair quite often...I even put foam rollers in my hair the night before I got married because the curl stays so...well!!! I love thinking up fun things to do to their hair...FUN! FUN!=-)

Bosom Buddies....

These 2 love to play together....they are like sisters, if ya know what I mean, they even share eachothers clothes sometimes!!! Here they are trying to swing both of their huge dolls in the same swing, funny girls!
Bosom Buddies sharing lunch together!!! Good friends are fun to have!!!

Diabetes Walk...

This is our 2nd year walking for our niece/cousin...MADISON, who was diagnosed when she was 7 ( I think). We get the whole family, young and old together and go on a 5k walk (3.2 miles). We have a wonderful time walking as we raise money for Diabetes awareness, a great cause!=-) We are in the purple shirts..."MADDIE AND COMPANY"
Look at these kids walking hard!!!=-)

I think Alex was ready to be done...we are on the home stretch!=-)

Garett's 2nd Annual PineWood Derby...HE'S OUR STAR!

Here is our fine Bear Scout displaying his cool car, "LIGHTNING MCQUEEN"Love the Arrow! Garett designed this himself...great job!
Happy Garett...waiting for his car to win the race!!!=-)

Garett won for his age category in our ward...not overall, but he was happy nonetheless (can you tell!!! I'm glad I was able to come and watch him this year...WAY TO GO GARETT!!=-)

Taylor's Insect Night Open House....

Here is Taylor proudly displaying her Insect Book...look at that smile again! I love it!!!=-)Taylor w/her wonderful 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Hand....Taylor just loved having her...she put learning into everything they did, even when lining up to go outside....love that!!!=-)

Playground Pals

Both Garett and Taylor got to be Playground Pals last May at school at the same time!!! I thought that was wonderful that they were both picked at the same time. They were chosen by their teachers because they exemplified good behavior both in the classroom and on the playground and they got to catch others doing good, kind deeds on the playground. Great Job Kiddos! Love you BOTH!!!!=-) (sorry for the blurriness...I'm not the best photographer!)

My Cute Blue-Eyed Boy w/ His Cute Teeth

Just had to add a cute boy to all of my updating!!!! This was back in April...he has had 2 teeth for so...long!!! I just love his blue eyes too....love him!!!=-)

The Tulip Festival ( I know it's September) ...trying to get caught up!!=-)

The last time we went to the Tulip Festival was when Garett was a baby, it has been way too long....I have to admit there used to be more tulips...now there is only tulips in a specific designated area and you have to pay a little bit to park to go and tour them...I don't remember paying back in 2001...I guess times have changed in the last 9 years! Anywho, they are still wonderfully vibrant and I love all the array of colors they have...I asked the kids to pick their favorite colors and I would take their pictures by them....Here they are!!! By the way, we waited in a line of cars for about 45 minutes to an hour to see these...worth the wait!!!=-) I love these pretty pink tulips!!!

Taylor chose light pink...love her smile!!!


Cute Kate chose the pink ones too...must be the girl in them!!!

Cool Garett liked the Maroon colored ones!

Alex liked the yellow ones, I think, but I couldn't get him to stay all by himself, so I had Taylor hold him down!!!! Cute Kids!!!

The Last 5 Months in a Nutshell...

It looks like I have not posted since April...so, here goes....we have been BUSY!!! One thing after another, it feels like. In April, we (the kids and I minus Dad) went to the Vancouver Temple Open House with some fun friends....also stopped by the Tulip Festival on the way home...we had a fabulous time other than me being sick and waiting for hours to get to the Tulip Festival (opening weekend, what did we know)...all in all...we all came home in one piece (barely), so that was good...Next time...we'd love for our daddy to come along...

Look at this group of Kids that we took all by ourselves!!! One wild, good-looking group!!!=-)

The Beautiful Vancouver Temple
