Standing Alone

My boy has started standing without help and doesn't realize he is doing it.  He was holding to this sheep, but started playing with this feather and was able stand unassisted.  Such a cute little stink!

Playing in the Kitchen

Hendrix boy loves to play with the toy kitchen and doing his pretend play.  I love it!

Swimsuit Malfunction

Grace is pretty independent and likes to do things on her own.  We were going to the JCC to go swimming and Grace wanted to put her swimsuit on herself, but she had a bit of trouble getting it on.

Kevin and I car pool on Tuesdays, the day I work because he drops the kids off at his mom's house since she lives close to his work.  As I was waiting to be picked up one day, this adorable little bird came begging for pieces of my apple.  The bird was a bit nervous at first, but gained enough confidence and was able to take the apple from my hand. So cute!

Bye Bye Birdie

We have a big, beautiful window above our front door.  I love it because I can look across the street at the field as I go down the stairs. But this window also has a dark side...it's bird killer!  A few lovely birds have flown into the window, into their utter demise.  It makes me feel so terribly bad.  I am considering using a window covering...

Sleeping Beautry

I don't know why, but I love pictures of the kids when they are sleeping.  They look so angelic and innocent...and they're not being saucy and churlish! Grace has such a sweet face!!

Josslyn's 4-wheelin'

We gave this little 4-wheeler to Josslyn and she seems to like riding it.  This, I'm sure, is great for Jono as he cannot get enough of 4-wheeling and to have his kid get into it would be his ultimate goal!

Stick-less Suckers

Puppy Boy

I love when my sweet puppy boy is asleep because his face is so angelic and adorable!

Playroom Time

I absolutely LOVE watching the kids play.  Especially when they are completely engaged in play and getting along! It's so fun!!!  One of the best ways to do that is give them some modeling clay and they become completely absorbed in the activity.

Play Room

Snapped some random shots of the kids playing in the play room with some clay. Wish they played like this more often...no fighting, lots of cooperating!

Cinderella Romance

Cinderella and Ken doll are getting hot and heavy...Grace says he his giving Cinderella a kiss!

"Foot Wrist"

Team Work

Marley and Grace are polar opposite in personalities.  They tend to have disagreements quite often, but I did find them cooperating pretty well together.  However, I'm not sure I like that they decided to carry the toy shopping cart up the stairs while Marley wore dress-up heels...seems like an accident waiting to happen.

Throw Back to Hawaii

I love this picture of us!  This was back in September of 2011 when we took Marley, Grace and my little bro, Seth to Kauai, Hawaii.  Such good times!!

Flaming Gorge with Ackroyd's in July

The drive home from Flaming Gorge was a tad intense.  The hail was coming down quite loudly and fiercely.  I tried to take some pictures of it, but the pictures don't really convey the storm's intensity!
