Cute pictures



I just liked these pictures. I never get sick of taking pictures of my kids. I am grateful they are always willing to smile for their mom.

Gracie and Will

Gracie and Will have a really great relationship. She loves to carry him around the house so that he can be doing whatever she is doing. He is very tolerate of her attention and seems to prefer her over Jack or Samuel. One day when I got out of the shower I found that Gracie had tucked Will into my bed and given him a puppy to sleep with. He had fallen asleep just as happy as can be. I told Gracie "What am I going to do when you go to school and I don't have you to help me." She replied "Mom when I come home I will take care of you." Gracie is growing up so much and really has a motherly streak in her.


Skiing




Rodney spent a beautiful day skiing with his sister Yolanda. Tamarack ski resort which is about 25 minutes from us was closing early. A friend had given us some free ski passes but I wasn't feeling very well so Rodney took Yolanda on the last day the hill was open. Rodney borrowed some 3 oot skis from a friend and he had a blast doing 360 turns down the hill.


Gracie is growing up

What a cutie group of pink cousins.


Gracie finally mustered up enough courage to get her ears pierced.


Family Home Evening Painting







For family home evening we painted on canvas'. I ended up with some great art work.



Getting Caught Up

Here are pictures of all my kids at 3 months old. Who do you think look alike?
I got a new hair do. I am kindof a control freak and so this now my hair is a little our of control. I am trying to embrace it.







In February we went to McCall the annual ice sculpture festival. The weather had been a little warm and so some of the sculptures were melting. But we still had fun together.

Long Time No Post

Will at 3 months old
This is will checking out his high chair for the first time. He liked being up were he could see everyone.
I have a ton of fun pictures but my computer has been at the computer doctor for over a month and Some on the pictures are stuck on my camera until I get my computer back. I have my old computer but it is very slow when it comes to posting things on the internet. Here is a quick update. Will is getting bigger. He weighed 13 pounds at his 4 month visit. He is starting to giggle which is really fun. Samuel is finally potty trained which is great to only have to change one kids diapers again. Gracie has her first loose tooth and is very excited about it. She also got her ears pierced a week ago. Jack is spending some extra time reading. He wanted to earn a ticket to roaring springs and has to read 600 minutes for it. All is well in Cascade. We go 8 inches of snow yesturday which was a good thing because when it isn't snowing it is about 4 degrees outside. So we enjoy the lesser of two evils. Hopefully I will get the computer back soon and can post some fun pictures.
