A day at the Park

We had a picnic at the park with Aunt Stacey, Aunt Sarah, and Aunt Jenny and all the cousins! What a blast! Aunt Sarah and Uncle Travis were in town from Maryland. We always love to see them.

The Post

Ah, just look at the joy on Tanner's face! This was Tanner's first time out at The Post. Our dear sweet children have learned that if they so feel the desire to waste time and argue with their siblings they get to visit The Post. They can take out all their anger and frustration on The Post as they build up to the footage that has been assigned to them. When they finally reach their mark they get to smooth it out for the next lucky visitor. Because we live on a sand hill this task isn't quite as easy as it looks...just ask the kids!

Alexis' Science Fair

Alexis had her science fair yesterday at school. She chose to see if the most expensive popcorn really was the best! Sure enough, it was. Ask her how much popcorn she ate?! She had a great time getting it ready...with a little help from Sammy!

Ashton's Birthday

We celebrated Ashton's 6th birthday yesterday. He had such a fun time playing with all of his cousins, opening presents, and eating "white birthday cake with green frosting." I think the kid is part Hulk! He also shared the in the festivities with his Grandpa Owens, who turned...well we won't mention any ages here.

Samantha's 1st Birthday!

Samantha had so much fun with her birthday cake! She thought the frosting was the best part. She went to town on her cake and when she had enough I asked her if she was all done. Oh, how forgetful we are at times. When she is all done instead of putting her hands in the air she puts her hands on her ears! As you can see, that was a messy mistake.

As for the presents...who needs them when you have tissue paper!

Tanner's Baptism

What a special day! Tanner was baptized by his dad in January. He is getting so big and growing up so fast. I think he wants to pass his big brother up. (I give him 10 years or so!)

It is always nice to have family together. It was a great ending to our wonderful Christmas holiday that we were able to have with all of the kids.

I Love My Sister!

Here is our little bit of sunshine that came into all of our lives last February. She is so adored by all five of her siblings! It is a constant battle to see who gets to play with her. This is a picture that I love of her and her biggest sister, Ryan. Ryan is such a great big sister that loves to play and take care of her baby sister.
