KID PICS

My attempt to get a picture of all six children. With everyone looking and no funny faces. Not an easy task my friends. Enjoy!






Finally on the very last shot I got everyone looking at me. Just imagine a smile on Lucas's face and we have a perfect picture.

Happy Birthday Lucas!

Lucas had a birthday on March 16th and entered into the terrible two's. He is such a cute little boy but he has definatly learned how to throw a tantrum. If he doesn't get what he wants he drops to the floor and crys. When he is happy he loves to play with his brothers and sisters. He loves to give kisses. And he loves to read books. He was super excited about this dinosaur that my mom gave him. He also got a remote control car and a Sit and Spin. Rachel got on this first and started spinning. When Lucas got on and couldn't figured it out he just got mad and started crying. Once he got it figured out he had a good time with it.
I must be the lamest Mom ever. I didn't even have any eggs to make a birthday cake so he got rice crispy treats instead. He didn't mind too much. All he ever eats anyway is the ice cream. I think he weighs 22 lbs which is hardly on the chart but that's kind of how my kids are. He can be such a sweet little guy and we love him so much. Happy Birthday Lukey Bug!!

ZACKERY'S BIRTHDAY!

Oh what do I say about Zack? He is our little sassy pants. He's got attitude. If he doesn't want to do something or doesn't like something he will let you know. Zack definatly keeps life interesting for us. He loves that he has green eyes and so does Lucas. He always has something funny to say and makes us laugh every day. He has so much energy. From the second he wakes up until he finally crashes at night he is just go go go. He hardly ever sleeps through the night. We always find him in front of the tv during the night or in the morning. Sometimes awake and sometimes asleep. We love our Zack Attack! Happy Happy Birthday! He was so excited about this game. And now a month later all the kids do is fight about it. Silly kids.
If brother has one then he's got to have one.

This got the best reaction out of anything. He was so excited he went jumping and screaming all around the house as he showed all of his cousins.

And this is the look we get from Zack most of the time. And yes this is the same cake that Preston had. But we did add one more candle to it so that he could be seven. Love you Zacky!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESTON!

Preston decided he wanted to have another birthday so that he could be six. I keep trying to tell him to stay little but he won't listen to me. I love his bright blue eyes and his super blond hair. He is such a good big brother to Lucas and Molly. Not so much with Rachel but we are working on it. He loves to play with his older brothers and wants to do everything they do. We are grateful to have him in our family. Happy Happy Birthday Preston!!


He shoots all of the nerf darts at the wall and tries to make a smiley face with them. He actually does a pretty good job.

This is about as fancy as I get with a birthday cakes.

MOLLY'S BLESSING

On January 2, 2011 we blessed Molly. Dave gave her a wonderful blessing. Everyone from both of our family's were able to make it. We are very blessed to have such wonderul family's. Here are a few pictures from her special day and a few that were taken on another day. My mom crocheted her blessing dress and it was absolutely beautiful.
The thumb.

The binki.
She doesn't really prefer one over the other as long as she has something.

So cute!

The full dress. It is absolutely beautiful.
My mom also crocheted the bonnett and booties.

This is one of my favorite pictures. She looks like a little doll.

These little booties are so cute but the darn things wouldn't stay on. We were frantically trying to put one back on before Dave took her up to the front.

Daddy and his little girl.

We are so grateful to have Molly in our family. We love her lots and lots!!

4 MONTHS

Molly turned 4 months old on Feb. 8th. She weighs 12 lbs 12 oz (30%) and is 24 and 1/2 inches long (60%). Her head is still small coming in at the 23%. Her brothers and sister love to play with her and hold her. We love to see her smile and hear her laugh. We don't so much enjoy the crying every night but we love her just the same. She is an angel during the day. She eats fabulously and takes wonderful naps. Molly is most happy when she is being held and she likes to talk to whoever is holding her. She gets to start eating solids (if you can even call it that) now so hopefully she will catch on quickly. We love our little Molly Lolly!
Rachel is the one that put the glasses and crown on Molly.
She only likes tummy time for a little bit but she does such a good job holding her head up when she is on her tummy.

SCHOOL PROJECTS

I love to see all of the fun projects that the kids make at school. The only problem is what to do with them after. I decided to start taking pictures of their projects and then I don't feel quite as guilty when I throw it in the garbage. And then they don't mind either because they can look at the picture anytime. Haunted house for Halloween.

Volcano

Indian writing

Math box activity that Preston did at home.

Salt dough map of Utah with rivers, lakes, mountains and deserts.

Santa Clause
