our hole

does this make it official? it sort of feels like it...and i'm so excited (and still a little bit sad...)


preschool par-tay

jack had his end of the year preschool program on tuesday. it was fun to see him sing, dance and interact with all the kids from his class. he LOVED his teacher - miss denice. she gave all the kids a little memory book with pictures taken during the year - he's been carrying it around with him ever since...

happy birthday mom!!!

we had a surprise 60th birthday party for my mom last weekend. it turned out to be really fun and she was totally surprised!!!
we tried to have a hawaiian theme...
since it is the hawaii reunion this year...
i thought i took a bunch of cute pictures, but when i loaded them onto the computer i realized i didn't really have ANY good ones.
this one isn't bad though...
at least it shows some of the group.
so fun!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!
WE LOVE YOU!




samuel the lamanite...

have i ever posted pictures of our little samuel...? david had him dress up one night for FHE and he sort of fell in love with this "costume"... (so wierd!) but he LOVES wearing it. if it looks familiar - this may have been where you saw it...i even caught him painting himself... (i don't know...did samuel the lamanite wear war paint?)

sort of looks likes he's becoming more lamanite and less samuel...

my little girl is growing up!

jane is turning one this week (on sunday) and i can't believe it!!!
for so long -11 months - she didn't roll over, she didn't crawl, she didn't scoot, she'd just sit and be sooooo content, so easy, and sooooo stinkin cute!!!
just look at her...
well, a couple weeks ago, she started sitting like this....


...and i knew things were about to change, but i still thought it was sooooo cute - when i started telling david why i love her in this pose so much, he made fun of me so i wont post about it, but just know that i LOVE this picture and the way her legs are positioned...

well, the pose led to the crawl position, the rock, and last week - the crawl. can't leave her anywhere any more! and i've already caught her getting into the plant, into the drawers, pulling down the curtains, and of course with little toys in her mouth!
...but she's still so stinkin' cute!!!

the good, the bad, and the ugly...

THE GOOD...

a big thank you to grammy and papa for finding doggie! i still cant believe that diggie showed up on their doorstep in TEXAS! christian was sooooo happy and has hardly let him out of his sight since the happy reunion... (and christian doesn't seem to mind at all that on his way to texas, diggie seemed to have gained some fluff and somehow cleaned himself up.)


THE BAD...

jackson climbed onto the roof yesterday. at first i was so proud of him for climbing this tree in our front yard, but then i turned my back for a few minutes and this is what i saw...

...stretching his leg to reach the roof...

...and then, on the roof...
now, he thinks its so fun to climb up there whenever he wants. especially since he can stay up there for as long as he want without me reaching him and thus avoiding time-out for as long as he wants. (guess i need a new punishment since to him, his little stints on the roof seem to be worth the few minutes he sits in time-out!)



THE UGLY...

the little bugs that are eating all my ferns...


and the huge pile of yard waste that has been sitting on the lawn for 2 weeks! (thank you david for trying to move it yesterday.)
