Halloween Pics...in all their costumes!

Here she is, already learning the splits...before she even knew how to crawl yet.
This is the position she would take when she would try grabbing something that was out of her reach. I think she's trying to tell me she wants to be a dancer...

...because here she is trying to put on her big sister's ballet slippers after our morning class.

Silly Sleepers

I just can't help but grab the camera whenever I see my little ones sleeping so silly; or when they wake up and you can tell by their awesome bedhead, and their goofy little grin, that they're thinking, "I just had the sweetest nap." You know, the kind of slumber we all wish we could get more of.

How We Miss Camping

We haven't been camping since June. We took advantage of the guys' last free weekend before starting third year. It was fun.

Bonding with Grandma

Grandma loves to have her time chit chatting with the babies. I'm so glad I left the camera sitting close by when I left Kaitlyn with Grandma and her sister.






This wasn't even all of them...I had to choose my favorites, and I couldn't leave any of these out.

Abbi bonds with Dad

One of the first things Daniel did when he arrived to his parents was hop on his dad's new riding mower. Of course he was happy to help mow the lawn; all he had to do was drive. Abbi had fun too.

Playtime in Lava

Wrestling with the cousins.

Cuddling with Mommy Mindy and Kassie.

Learning how to skip with Aunt Holly and the girls.


Seeking adventures around the camp.


Chillin' with Aunt Holly while hiding out from the rain.

Swimming in Lava Hot Springs

We braved the weather and went swimming anyway. We had a good time in the pool with all the cousins. We only wished we got to spend more time in the water during the trip.

Kaitlyn Meets Grandpa Joe

This is a very sweet to me. This was the day after I got into town. I had been having a hard time getting her to fall asleep. When my dad came to pick me up, I handed Kaitlyn to him and he sat down and started talking to us while I finished getting my stuff ready to go. The next thing I knew she was asleep. When I saw her asleep, I remembered all the times as a little child when I loved to lay on his chest and fall asleep to him talking to people. I guess that was one of the things I used to do that made me such a Daddy's Girl!

Easter pics

Here are some pics of easter. Kaitlyn is wearing her dress from Mommy Mindy. She baught the girls matching dresses for easter.

One Last Snowman

Here is Abbi's last snowman this year. I had promised her that I would help her build a snowman, then the snow melted. I must have forgotten where we lived when I worried that the snow was gone. No fear...one more snowfall should do the trick. This snow was from one snowfall.

Special Visitors

Mommy Mindy came for Spring Break. What a fun time we had. This is the visit where Mindy (Little Miss Sunshine) dubbed Abbi as Little Miss Chatterbox. And Kaitlyn was named Little Miss Giggles.







Grandma and Grandpa came in January. They were here for Kaitlyn's blessing. We wish they could have stayed longer, but we were so happy to have them come.
