Kennin's tools

Kennin takes this sword & flashlight everywhere. If he doesn't have pockets he puts a belt on and hangs the sword & flashlight on them.

Sienna's hair

Sienna has so much hair!! It grows so fast and there is so much of it! These are her first pigtails with all of her hair.

Visit from Giffords

We had so much fun with the Gifford's at our house. To our delight they even stayed an extra day!! Jake is adorable! The boys took were so nice to him and took good care of him (Kennin especially). Jake is getting sooo big. The best part of our visit was knowing that the Giffords will be back in less than 3 months to visit again!! I tried to get a picture with all of the kids, but they didn't want to sit still. It was pretty funny.

Crazy Hat Day

Bridger got all kinds of attention for the craziest hat! He was excited because at the spirit assembly he was featured in the slide show. Being able to twist balloons has come in handy in all kinds of ways! Who knew it would make Bridger a superstar?

Crazy Hair Day

This week is spirit week at Bridger's school. Because he wears a uniform it's a big deal when they get t o "dress up" or alter that. Today was crazy hair day. So we skipped the much needed haircut this week and made his hair truly crazy. He asked me if he could dye it green! I think he is a teenager in disguise!

Happy first Birthday Sienna!

Sienna liked the ice cream cake I made her, but was very feminine and dainty when she ate it. There was no smearing it through her hair, she just enjoyed the good stuff!

the boys were so disappointed when she was sick because she couldn't eat her cake. They kept saying "not on her birthday...oh man...not on her birthday". No one has a better fan club that Sienna!!

The boys decorated wrapping paper for her. It had several spaceships with battleguns on it. It's hard to see the details because when the battle started it blew up the bad guys. What was the secret weapon you ask? Pink & black markers!


We decided to celebrate our "leapling's" birthday on the 28th. It didn't turn out to be much of a birthday because she got the stomach flu. She felt like opening one present, but that was it!
Thanks for the ABC book Grandma and Grandpa Jones!!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is my favorite Holiday! I had this great idea to dress the kids up and take pictures to send out to everyone. The idea was good, but the pictures didn't quite turn out how I wanted. Here is the end result. We will try again next year. Maybe the kids will be ready then for their Valentine's debut!
