Future musician!

Gabie has already started playing the piano at ten months. We're so proud.

Three Beautiful Cousins

Kierstie, Ashlynn, and Emily were watching Barbie-12 Dancing Princesses together. They all sat there, singing the theme song in unison. They are such good friends, it's so cute to watch them play together.

Slide Rock

We had a blast visiting Sedona and Slide Rock for Mommy's birthday.

First Day of School

Kara loves kindergarten and Ashlynn loves joy school.

The Many faces of Baby Gabe!

He's growing so fast! At six months he is in the 80th percentile in height and weight, and proud. He has started to scoot around, but hasn't quite mastered a full crawling technique yet. I call him my chunky monkey!

We've Started Our Summer With A Bang!

First, Ashlynn chipped her teeth after falling off of the trampoline and the next day, Mason chipped his tooth after falling head first on Jonah's bed. The next day, Ashlynn was biting on a rope that Gabe was fixing things outside with and she yanked her tooth all the way out! She's still cute, but she's going to have a tooth missing for about 3 more years.

December Dance Recital

Kara is the best tapper in her class! Here she is showing off her moves from "Old Straw Hat" and "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer". She is a spunky little girl who loves to be the center of attention. (Maybe a little too much like her Mommy was!)

She loves to dance

Ashlynn's rockin' out. At only 3, she has all the right moves! She has now started dance class and just finished a recital in May. We think she's going to have a succesful career in performing arts.

The Math Bee

Mason was in the first math bee held at his elementary school. He was one of the few 3rd graders to participate.
Not only is he smart, but his real love is sports. You name it, and he'll play it!


This picture was before his last haircut, as you can see.

His favorite past time!

This is how you will normally catch Jonah around the house. Playing the wii!!

He also likes to build legos, and play chess. We were pleasantly surprised when he placed second in his first chess tournament ever. He was up against other 6th graders, as well as 7th and 8th graders. He's a young Bobbie Fisher.
