Cutie

Kate is trying out softball this year. She is on the team "Cuties". She's cute out there but I don't see a softball career in her future.

Sunday Best

Luke loves looking nice. On Sunday's he's always excited about picking out his tie and hat. He's such a funny little guy.

2015 Theme

Our family theme this year is to get Scripture Strong. We are excited to gain a deeper understanding of the scriptures and develop a more personal relationship with Christ. It is going to be a great year.

Dinner is Served

Steve has been gone a lot the past few months. I hate cooking dinner when he's not around. The kids don't appreciate the effort it takes. So tonight I got them a dinner they would appreciate, ice cream! There was no complaining and no dishes to clean! Everyone was happy.

Rachel's Naughty Spot

When Rachel wants to do something naughty this is where she does it.

In the closet in the dirty laundry basket hiding behind Kate's dresses. I caught her painting her toes in there today. Look at that face. 

Jason's 5

Jason turned 5.  He is so fun and kind.  He is our family peacemaker.  He is full of enthusiasm and energy.  Our world is better and brighter because of him.  We love you Jason.

Girly Girl

Nothing makes Rachel happier than a lot of lipstick!

And a lot of jewelry. 

And princess clothes. 

Perfection

They are so cute I can't handle it.

Valentine's Day

Steve had to work a 24 hour shift on Valentine's Day, so I spent the day with the minions. We decided to go to the beach. It was the perfect day. I love the beach. I love my kids. I love my life. Hope your Valentine's Day was filled doing things you love with the ones you love.

Less is More

The other day I had an idea. What if at breakfast time I served the kids their smoothie in 1 cup with 3 straws. They loved it! And I only had to wash one cup!

A Breakout

Rachel broke out in a pink flowery rash today. It started on her hands and quickly spread to the rest of her body. Luckily it doesn't itch or irritate her. In fact it has the opposite effect. It appears to induce happiness. She's crazy. I love her! 

The Zoo

I took my little monkeys to the zoo to see the real monkeys. I love going to the zoo in the spring. Baby monkeys and their mamas are pretty much the cutest thing ever.

Then we checked out the reptile house. 

We said hi to the gorillas. 

And Rachel's favorite, the pretty pink birds!
