Hold On....

So we had our "scrapbook convention" with all my sisters this past week. But do you think I scrapbooked? Uh, no. Not even one page. BUT I did get something very important done. A music video. Yes. If you'd like to view our version of Wilson Philips "Hold On" you can click on the link to the right that says "OUR GREATEST HOME VIDEO YET". You will not be dissapointed...well maybe you will.

Naked Friends

Tanner's best friend in the whole world is Maci. They LOVE eachother. They're both really small for their ages, and have the cutest little voices. So they always get into some kind of trouble at my house. Today, they decided to get naked. It was hillarious. The were swinging naked, sliding on the slide, naked. ha ha!

So I decided to take off the naked picture...there are crazies out there you know. =)

Madeline lost her 1st tooth!

Maddie's tooth has been loose for a while now...it fell out yesterday while I was doing a photoshoot, so she called me. She was SO excited! then a few min. later I talk to Jasper....he had been washing it for her and it fell down the sink =(. So sad. But she didn't seem to care near as much as I did.
Last night she thought we should write the Tooth Fairy a note. It said : "My Dad lost my tooth in the sink it the kitchen." I should take a picture of the note...It's so adorable.

Good job! & Tanner's photography

It's so cute...everytime I say "good job" or "yeah!" Tae starts clapping. It's so sweet.


Tanner loves to steal my camera and take pictures. He's always saying "one more!" hmmm, who does that sound like? So this is his latest work. I thought it was actually kind of cute. Especially Tanners toes in the bottom right hand corner. Hee hee!

Super Tan

Enough said.

Super Jay

This may be one of the first times I didn't have to drag Jay in front of the camera. He was extremely willing to show me his huge muscles. He asks all of the time if whatever activity he may be doing makes him "stwong". My favorite is when he said "Is the making me flexible or stwong?"
I heard him tonight as the kids were going to sleep saying "I'm the man of the house, I'm in charge". (Jasper tells him this when he goes out of town). Needless to say, the others weren't too thrilled about his proclamation. But I quite enjoyed it.

The phone

Tae is constantly wanting to pick up the phone and say hi. It's so cute, she says "ha". Then eats the phone.
The rest are her playing....she looked so cute in her green pants...aahhh. If only I had green pants. =) The last one is my very very favorite of the day. I just can't get over her eyes.

On our way...

We are SO not the people who stop and take our time when we travel. So this time, we did. We even stopped so our kids could use the bathroom...I kid. We stopped at Marble Canyon to look at the cool cool rocks. During this adventure Jaren wants to go in this small rock house where Native Americans are selling things. I say, "no Jay, that's where they live, plus we don't have time.." He says "but Mom! Indians don't live in houses, they live in tents!" I say, "no, they live in houses now, see, their they are right now.." "But Mom, Indains are MEAN! I saw them on Peter Pan." It was so funny. Needless to say, I explained that they are actually very nice. He he.

Easter Weekend

This dog is a Laboodle. Yes, I'm serious. A Lab/Poodle mix. He's still a baby and HUGE! She adores dogs. Too bad she'll never get one...=)

Coloring Easter eggs at Nene's.


OOOOHHHH, do you see those adorable teeth. When she smiles really big, she looks so much like Uncle Ramsey....so so cute!




this was a miracle we got them to look at the camera at the same time. We looked a little rediculous screaming and making faces for them to look at us. but worth it right?


Tanner's moto seems to be " Pee anywhere" We were all in the kitchen when lo and behold, Tanner has his pants down and is peeing through the fence onto the rocks. We laughed pretty hard. i will use this as bribe one day.

Bed time...

Jay and Tae...too too cute!

Wupatki....did I spell that right?

We just returned from Flagstaff where we spent the Easter holiday. It was SOOOOO nice to get away. Thanks Mom & Mom in law for all the good cookin! The kids had a blast. They even got see their dear little cousin Emma. So the day before Easter we went to these Indian Ruins. It was actually really fascinating. Thanks to Kimi for a few of these pics! =)



Is Dad REALLY trying to get cell coverage out here??? Tanner was quite amuzed.


Three of mine, one of Jana's. I told them I wanted to get a photo, so Madeline is so my little poser...she helped them to pose so cute! Well done Madsie!


This was SO cool! This was a natural blowhole in the earth. This extremely forceful wind comes up from the center of the earth. It felt just like a swamp cooler.


Awww, how tender. The sisters. Well some of them...

The Office

Just watch...need I say more?

Flying

Madeline watched Cherise and Mike (cherise's man) practicing their swing moves. Madeline & Tanner saw this and wanted to participate in the "flying" portion. They thought it was the best!



The very best part about this picture is that you can see that his pants are on backwards....this is a DAILY occurance. It's so funny, I'll help him get dressed in the morning, but by the first time he's gone to the bathroom....his underware and pants are backwards. I'll tell him they're not on the right way but he argues to no avail. So, he goes everywhere like that. Yes, even to the store. He's so cute, he gets away with a lot.

YUMO

I gave Tae a sucker the other day to make her hush for a bit while a finished a shoot. It was her first taste of anything like that, she was in heaven. So you can imagine what it was like to rip it away from her very fingers! She wasn't very happy about it. She's such a marvelous baby. So good. I feel so blessed to have her as my #4. Plus, she's so dang cute, I can't get enough of her! She's so squishy...and she loves to cuddle. What more could I want??



And those eyes- deep pools of semi dark chocolate.
