Finally new pictures!

Easter egg hunt at my cousin Whitley's house! As you can see, her yard is gorgeous and the perfect picturesque place for a proper hunt. Collin truly felt like an explorer looking for treasure!

Isabelle's 'Easter Dress.'
As it was conference on Easter this year I just made a sundress for her. I was trying to imitate Shabby Apple! I love the clothes, but can't justify spending the money on them. I am pretty happy with my result! I have since made her 3 more and her summer wardrobe is complete (she only likes to wear dresses and skirts)!

Yay! My sweet Mason turned 1!!!
This past year went way to fast. Kids grow up way to fast! I really liked the cake (thanks to Suzy for the cupcake pan), but in contrast to the first baby's birthday - I spent 2 days decorating a completely homemade cake for Collin. Third baby - I happened to have all the stuff in the cupboard so completely store bought cake mix and frosting! No piping necessary! Due to personality (not to my baking skills I hope) Mason enjoyed his cake a whole lot more!

No forcing him to eat!! Daddy was only him get it in at a disrable pace. It is fun to have such an eater!

Any thing but Christmas Picutres!

Mike's birthday cake. How can looking at this much chocolate make you anything but happy?

Look at those chompers!

Our Valentine's Day gingerbread house (Of course it was, I mean wasn't, left over from Christmas)!

Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!

Yay! Christmas in January!

Ok, so it really isn't January in these pictures but I am slow about the blogging. Here are some Christmas pictures of the kids!

FB aka Facebook

Well, I joined the world of Facebook. It is crazy! It was a good thing, I got pictures of Music Man and so far have 40+ friends but it feels quite strange to see everything that everyone talks about, I feel like I have nothing interesting to contribute and then I read about someone putting a roast in. Do people really want to know what I am cooking for dinner? Do I really feel like I am connecting with people? Am I on there to brag about myself, I don't think so but I did have Mike crop a good looking picture so that I would feel that I was being represented as I would like to be (make-up, jewelry) instead of pony-tail mom who just walked home from school. Do I really feel like I have had some contact and conversation with someone over the age of 6? I dunno. So far I have only dipped my toe in the water so we will just have to see how things are when I get in up to my knees (I think a cannonball is out of the question at this point)!

Getting Caught Up!

Happy Halloween! This is my third Chili Pepper (courtesy of fabulous Auntie Heather). He is soooo cute!

Indiana Jones and lost idol.

Isabelle's baby pumpkin. If you say the word 'baby' she is on board!

The kids at Collin's school parade.

Just trying to get caught up with some blogging and pictures.

Isabelle Pondering Creation

Isabelle: Mommy, why are we peach?

Mommy: Because Heavenly Father made us that way.

Isabelle: I want to be colored.

Mommy: Colored? What color do you want to be?

Isabelle: Purple.

Collin's First Day of First Grade!!

I can't believe that he started 1st grade! Well actually he started a month ago but here are the pictures!
Mason just couldn't handle all the excitement! We actually started walking to school this year and I really enjoy it! No hassle with parking, unbuckling, getting out the stroller, buckling, dodging all the other cars trying to get home... you get the picture. I don't mind burning a few calories in the process either.

The kids together with their new backpacks. I think Isabelle's had kitty in it but it was still fun!
