First Steps

 He is on the move.

Writing the invitations for her valentines party.

Sometimes you just need some watermelon.

Eating a cookie so mom can weed outside.

Another box arrived. Giving those rose bushes a good soak before planting.

Having a sad moment.

Playing with Steve's childhood pirate lego ship .

Having a good laugh about something.

Playing in the rain

This never gets old.

We were so excited to get rain.

Evan loves still loves to wear  his shirts backwards.

Steve and my parents bought me 6  English roses for Christmas.

This is dormant season so they just  shipped  and came bare root. 

I am so excited to grow these:

First Time Crawling

So now that James has been standing by himself for a whole week, and is working on walking, he decides to try out crawling.

James Standing

Here's James standing on his own for the first time.  This boy just wants to walk; it seems he's given up on the whole crawling thing.

Bring on the cheese

Playing games at the park.

My sister Gillian was so kind and helped Hailey work on her peacock diorama.

Hailey was so excited she was the first to do her presentation.

Reading is the best!

Steve parents got me this wonderful marble board for Christmas.

Steve wanted to watch Sherlock  together after the kids went to bed.....and I said....only if I can have some good french cheese.

Lego San Diego Temple

Just a little Sunday afternoon building.

I know we love this Temple.

A dose of real life.

In case you didn't hear Hailey walking up and down the street yelling at the Fed-Ex truck.  He was 4 days late delivering Kit. Hailey had a lot to say about that. 

Back from the doll hospital at last!

  

Hanging out before bedtime.
