Spring Finally Came

We waited a really long time for spring to come to Cascade. The kids anxiously anticipated .the arrival of our tulips and dandilions. Don't they look beautiful

Skater Boy

Rodney and Jolinda had a little debate about whether he was a skater or not so Rodney took us all the the half pipe in Cascade to show us his stuff.

Besides the unusual gear (notice baseball mitts for hand protection) he was amazing!

Actually this is what really happened.

Rodney made a comment that he had stood at the top of a half pipe before just never went down. This time he had the guts to go down he just never made it back up the other side. At least he tried and got a few great battle scars to prove it.

Mother's Treasures

My three greatest treasures: Jack, Gracie and Samuel. Mother's Day 2008

Me and my Girl!

Diaper Boys

It was just a coincidence that Samuel and Lincoln ended up in just a diaper at the same time this day. We thought they looked so cute we had to take a picture.

Newest Family Member

If you haven't already heard we are going to add another little person to 11 already living in our house. Even bakers dozen we thought would balance things out well. The due date is November 16, 2008. We are looking forward to this new addition.

Cooking with Uncle Troy

Samuel has found something he really loves to do.

During spring break when Jolinda and her kids were gone Uncle Troy cooked Sunday dinner. He got all the the kids involved and they enjoyed every minute of it. Samuel cooked the veggies, Jack did the noodles, and Gracie cooked the sauce.

Crazy Girl

This is a picture I took about a month ago but I really liked it. It shows Gracie's personality so well. She is always goofy and dressed in some weird thing. I have not taken pictures lately because life has been so crazy. We are praying things will slow down a little.
