Newest Project

I am always looking for a good project to do and this one caught my eye. I made each of the girls a little blankey out of this way cute pattern and LOVE the way they turned out!!! The girls love to cuddle in them which makes me so happy especially with all the time and work (and neglect) it took to get them done!!

Macall

I couldn't get her to look at me because she was to busy watching Dora.Aves

Love it!

Naughty Boys!

As of right now the boys are yelling back and forth to each other from different rooms were they are being punished. When ever I am taking care of the girls they always find something to get into. I can put all the pens, pencils, and markers away and they will find them.

This mornings mess...

Then again they can be so cute!

They were sitting in the laundry basket watching Max and Ruby together, not fighting.

At breakfast Taylor said to me

"Mom, the light is out. You go get some batteries."

Brax and Macall Macall is always full of smiles.

Whoops Mom!

Yesterday before church the boys were playing with their 4-wheelers (monster trucks). I asked Brax if the books were jumps and he said "No mom, they whoops!" If any of you don't know that is a motocross term for lots of little jumps in a row. Funny!

The other night when we were putting the boys to bed Justin needed to run downstairs for something so he laid Macall down with Taylor. He was in heaven! He loves his little sister and thought it was so cool that she was in his bed.Braton decided he wanted a turn too so I laid Avri down and grabbed my camera.

Love these kids!This afternoon was some what warm so the boys went out to play soccer. It was actually pretty cold so we didn't last long but they loved it. I need to find a soccer league for them because they love soccer.BraxTaylor

Happy Chinese New Year!

Tonight we went to Uncle Phil's house to celebrate with some yummie chinese food. Justin jumped right in to help gut the fish! Yuck!Ok, that looks a little better

The kids pulled out some legos and had a great time. Braxton even told us it was what he wanted for his birthday. Guess that goes on the birthday list :-)

Thanks Phil and Lisa!

Oh dear

This is what like potty training was like today!

EXHAUSTING!

Island Park

Over the weekend we went to Island Park with the Hatch's and had a great time. We went snow mobiling, sledding, and Dan and Callie even made a snow cave for the kiddos to play in. I think they enjoyed it more then the kids did :-)

Here is Chris giving Julie and I a push down the hill. This sled was not a good one so we didn't even make it down the hill! Sure made us laugh though.
Justin took Brax out on the snowmobile. He loved it!Brax in the snow cave

Taylor surprised us all and LOVED the snowmobile. He cried when it was time to go inside because he wanted to keep riding!This would be why we were surprised he rode the snowmobile. He cried the whole time we were playing outside on the piles (mountain) of snow!Playing with daddyAvri and Macall even got all bundled up to come and play outside! It was too cold so they had to go back in after a few minutes and some pictures.

Macall and Avri

We had a great time! Thanks to all!!

Thursday

Last week before we went home we hit up the Classic Fun Center one more time. The kids have a blast there! Braxton is fearless and goes where ever he wants alone!! Taylor on the other hand wouldn't leave my side! All the older kiddos, except Mak who was being a bit of a bum... see :-) Playing ski ball. They still couldn't get the ball to go in. Tydon has this thing with peace in all the pictures and my boys caught on! Braxton can't do it so he holds his fingers with the other hand. Taylor wouldn't get in the bouncer. Just sat outside watching with a ball.

Brax

My crazy boys! They wouldn't put on their pants the other day and then decided it was time for boops and hats. Yes they still call the boots "boops" and I love it so I don't correct them! They will grow up thinking they are called boops forever.

Taylor

My hat boys!

These two love hats! They kept asking me the other day to get Justin's hats down so I let them wear one for a while. They loved it! They got some money from Grandma and Papa and are getting new monster truck hats! If I ever ask them if they want to wear a hat or do their hair it is always HATS!!

Blessing Day

Today was such a great day! We blessed the girls and had a great luncheon after. The girls were amazing at church and Justin did a great job. We love having our familes so close and here to support us! We took up 6 rows in the chapel!

My girls are so great and I could just eat them up! My beautiful girls
Sisters Just can't get enough of these two!
