Blue Jean Baby

Kyle loves Olivia in this outfit because he thinks she looks like such a BABY. I have to agree, nothing like jean overalls on those pudgy legs.

Baby It's Cold Outside

Brrr, when the rain comes we have to go out and play!!

Benda-what?

My kids are so dang creative!!! I'm really trying to have fun with them on nights that Dustin is at Church. Which is starting to feel like every night. It definitely makes me grateful that he works from home and we don't lose commute time.

Narcissism

Olivia loves the mirror. I would too if I looked that cute all the time.

Toy Store

During the Quarter, Nate earned "Liberty Bucks" for good behavior/school work that he got to spend at the classroom toy store. He came home SO dang happy. Look at that cute face!! Thank you awesome Kindergarten teacher for all the great work you do with Nate!

What you looking at?

The world's cutest naked baby! With a bubbly goatee...

Ball Boy

Luke is very helpful at tennis. And it is STILL dang hot outside.

Standing

Olivia is pulling up on everything. On this particular day she pulled up on her toy bins and was walking from one to the other, holding on of course. She was pretty proud of herself, until she got wedged between the two.

p.s. This is called, "Daddy dressed me!" The shirt is a size 2-4T...

Soaking in Summer

Soon it's going to be cold. WAAAAAAH!

What's Under There?

Can you guess what the kids are doing??

If you guessed "Kiss Attacking Luke," you're right!

Sleeping Beauty

Sadie Saying

We got a Veggie Tales movie from the Library. Sadie told me, "Mom, I wish I was a food in Veggie Tales."

Crawling

(another cell phone shot) ... and climbing.

Sweet Ellie

Ellie threw up at school on Thursday, so she had to stay home Friday. I took Luke and Sadie to playgroup and left Ellie here to watch TV and read (Dustin was working from home) while we were gone. When we came home she had made lunch for Sadie -- her favorite sandwich (pickles and turkey) in the shape of a pumpkin and tomatoes. I don't think I've ever made her a lunch that fancy.

Cousin Lovin

(via my cell phone) Apologies for the terrible quality.

Backpack! Backpack!

He wore that thing allllll day. He was pretty upset when I made him take it off for nap time.

Concentration

My favorite part of this evening was not the cuteness exuding from Sadie and Nate sharing and helping each other while they colored. . .
but Nate's face when he's concentrating.

Blue Wig

Kristine bought Olivia this blue, crazy BYU wig when she was here. Olivia seems to think it is some kind of pet. It really makes her go wild. Whatever floats your boat, baby.

Minute to Win It

I bribed my kids with this show. And sometimes I make them live it. One day they had to do Minute To Win It clean up their rooms with their legs tied together. It may have taken more than a minute.

Wind in my hair

Olivia loves getting that wild hair blown around.

Tennis

Do you think Chloe and Ellie planned their outfits? If you guessed YES, you're right! Tennis is as much about the cute clothes as it is about the sport.

Pretty Girl Goes to the Park

She's gorgeous. And I love her.

Helpful

Olivia likes to help Kyle with his assignments.

"My Dad's the new Bishop"

What the Bishop's kids do on a Sunday while they wait for Daddy to come home! It's a loooong wait.

Art project gone wrong...

You live, you learn, you don't let babies around paint...

Cousins

My kids love their cousins and I'm slightly jealous. I didn't really have any cousins to grow up with :( At least they do!

Don't we all feel like this...

... When aunt Kristine is around?

Trouble

Luke can squeeze himself into the pantry and get anything he wants. Currently he wants granola bars. I'm pretty sure it's because they're so darn messy.

Will these teeth ever come through?

Still sickly. My poor little thing.

Sometimes I'm just plain aweseome

I got my kids doughnuts for breakfast on my way home from the gym. They all love me today!

Revenge of the wink smile!
