You know me! I do several at a time so check them all out!!

Andrew's talent

Andrew's class did a talent show. He wasn't sure

what to do for it. I said he could pass gas or burp

as he's really good at those, but he didn't like those

ideas. I wonder why. He came up with this and it

was very cute and original. Jeremy also tried it when

Andrew was practicing before school and couldn't quite

make it to his mouth, but was pretty proud that he

could scratch his head.

Since I didn't get a chance to set up the camera

to a closer shot I thought I should tell you that

is a grape he sticks between his toes. Enjoy!!

Lilly 10 mo

Here is my girl at 10mo.
I've decided to start
letting her eat more of
her own cereal. I'm really
not looking forward to food
being thrown everywhere
and so far she's done
pretty good with it.

She is such a ham for
the camera. Most of
the time she has one
pointed at her she gets
a big smile on her face.
It's just tricky getting the
picture timed right. I did
alright on this one.


Lilly found this monster
truck and had a blast
playing with it and Mundy
thought it was cute and
took several pictures of it.
My girl is getting so big.
She crawls all over the place,


gets into the cupboards and
makes a pretty good mess.
She makes a cute little 'mwaa'
sound when we do the blow a
kiss to her. She's just so much
fun and all of us are so
appreciative to have her in our
family. Mundy and I just

celebrated our anniversary so
we did a picnic on our trampoline
with all the kids. And as we were
sitting there we discussed our
nightly discussion on our good
deed for the day as well as why
each of us were happy to be a
family. All the boys mentioned
how they wouldn't have a sister
if we weren't. It was pretty darn cute.

Science Fair project 2010

This year I slacked off

majorly. For some

reason I didn't get any

pics of Andrew at the

science fair nor of the

completed project.

Help!

All you bloggers out there. How is the best way to deal with
verticle shots? Everytime I put on on my blog it's causes
major problems in how it appears on the page and I can't
seem to figure out to fix them the way I want to. Suggestions???

Jeremy's first and Andrew's last Derby

Here are the boys'

cars this year. Jeremy,

ever into sharks,

decided he wanted a

hammerhead shark.

Andrew went for the

sleek and fast style.

Here is Andrew with his

before the races began.

This was his last year

to participate so he was

hoping to take first place.

He'd done so the year

before and hopes were

high. But mostly he was

just very excited.

Here is Jeremy with his car.

He's so excited for this race

as it's his first year in the

pine wood Derby. He was

a little nervous too because

he had broken off half the

hammerhead in his excitment

to start sanding without dad

around. Luckily dad was able

to fix it. Although he did break

it again after the races were

over.

Jeremy was so very excited

as he made first place out of

everybody. It's kind of dis-

appointing that our ward didn't

get the derby done earlier in

the year because he could

have gone to the Scout Expo

and raced against the other

winners. I'm curious how he

would have done. Andrew

took second. He won the

first race he was in and then

one race against Jeremy.

He was pretty excited too.

Admittedly, Mundy did help

them quite a bit with their cars.

He's not comfortable with handing them a dremal. He knew

of a kid that cut a finger off with one once so he's waiting until

they get older before he will let them attempt that. And we

procrastinated a little bit on getting them started and then

found out a week before when the race was going to be and

the boys' were at their mom's that weekend so Mundy got

nearly everything ready and they helped with the final sanding

and painting the last couple of evenings before the races.

All in all they had fun!

Easter 2010

Easter! I'm finally

getting this one done.

There is alway so

much to do and so

little time I find it

easy to put off the blog.

Well today is catch up

day! Here are the kids

before the hunt. They

are not at all excited.

And here they are

checking out the goodies.

This is Justin and Zane

with Jeremy and Aunt

Cindy in the background.

The boys are all cousins.

Here is Jimmy and

Andrew checking out

their goodies. This is

their last year to part-

icipate as they are now

or soon to be 11 yrs old.

Here is Mike with Paige.

And again with Mundy.

Apparently he was trying

to take a pic of me while

I took a pic of them. Good

thing I'm behind the

camera!!



Here is Vance and

Anne with Paige.

And anytime our sweet

neice, MyKenna,

is around she is

usually holding Lilly.

I do have pics of the actual hunt but the kids

didn't cooperate and always had their back

to me or the sun darkened their face to much

so I decided not to add any of those!
