Daddy and Berlynn go to Nascar!

Derek was lucky enough to have a friend get him tickets to the Nascar race. He decided to take Berlynn given her love of the movie Cars, which has turned into a love of race cars in general. She had so much fun with her daddy watching all the cars.

Kids being Kids!

These are pictures of before it got really hot and we could still actually play outside! They all love their "playground" and spend as much time on it as they can! Liam keeps trying take years off of my life by pulling typical boy stunts! But, it really is fun to see them all play!

Christmas Pics of the Family

Here are some more pictures another close friend of ours took for our Christmas card. I think we are do for another family portrait!

Some pics of the kids in October 08

These are pictures that a good friend of ours took of our kids. They turned out great!

I promise....

to be faithful in writing and posting pictures in here. For reals this time! I have made it a goal to post once a week and at least put the highlights of the week and post a few pictures. At least that will force me take more pictures, which my husband has been requesting for the last few months. But, I will post a few now to get caught up on some of the good ones I missed putting up. Then, I will continue...to be more consistant!

A Tip to Flagstaff

We have some friends who live up in Flagstaff which is a mere 3 hour drive from home. Derek was working for a few days straight and my friends husband was out of town so we decided to be "alone" together. We did lots of fun things while we were there, such as visit Santa!








Liam didn't really have much of an opinion of Santa. However, he throughly enjoyed the candy canes he was passing out!

One of the mornings we were there we woke up to a couple of inches of snow. The girls were overjoyed! Berlynn couldn't wipe the smile off of her face! Then of course, there is Liam and me.

The mountain behind their house. There is also one in front of their house, but for some reason I don't have a picture of it.

This picture cracks me up. Actually what comes to mind is Christmas Story. He really couldn't move let alone put his arms all the way down. It was funny watching him try to get around.

Yes, she loved the snow so much that she is swimming in it.

Alana loved the snow as well. She is just more dainty about it than Berlynn.

A boy and his balloon...

are not soon parted! He was so excited that he finally got a balloon of his own. He just kept looking at it and making it bounce up and down. When I went to get him out of the car....there he was. Sound asleep. With the balloon firmly clutched in his little hand. How cute?
