Naptime

Excavatin'

The boys went out today and cleared some of the trees that fell down in the last wind storm.

Pretty soon Rylan will be driving that thing all by himself!

Emily's Cool New Do

The other day Emily disappeared into my bathroom for quite awhile and came out with this new look. What do you think?

Christmas 2009

We had a lovely trip to Nampa, Idaho where we spent time with friends and family for Christmas.

These are all shots of the kids opening their presents when we got back home.

The girls in their Christmas jammies.

Rylan didn't want to get his picture taken.

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Getting their Nails Done

It was beauty salon time at Grandma Far Away's house.

All three of the girls got their nails done.

They discovered it is hard to zip up zippers and do buttons with such long nails!

Playing School

The other day I came into the front room to find my 2 youngest students hard at work at their "desk".

They had many assignments to complete.

Practice makes perfect!

Concentration is the key. Notice the cell phone is close in case he gets any calls.

Taking Pictures with Daddy

I was trying to get a shot of Lila and Rylan together and Daddy noticed the "cheeses" just weren't happening - at least on Rylan's side.

So he joined the photo shoot. As you can see Rylan wasn't budging.

Oh, starting to see a little smirk there, Rylan . . .

Daddy knows how to get his kids to smile!
