Halloween 2010

Olivia the bunny, Belle the chef, Eliza the cowgirl & Alexus the lion. The twins are already asking how long til they can go "Halloweening" again and get lots of candy. They were really impressed with this holiday!

Happy Birthday Isabelle Su!

That's a 6 on her cake. Can you believe it? Belle brings so much fun and spunk to our house. We're so thankful for her. She's doing excellent in Kindergarten and she's starting to be more aware of others and their feelings. Although today she told her Sunday school teacher that she has "a little fur" on her upper lip. So glad the teacher thought it was cute and was not offended.

Off to School

These three were so excited for the first day of school. They were ready 30 minutes before the bus came. Chablis, Eliza and Belle all passed the first day with flying colors:-)

Already halfway through Summer?

Alexus & Olivia turned three June 15. They are so cute, most of the time. Family gave them some wonderful presents and memories. If you can't tell from the picture, Olivia is in pink with hair down and Alexus in purple with hair pulled back.

Look what Erik brought home yesterday. Another girl (chocolate lab). We haven't named her yet.

Grandma Shari & Aunt Bre came over for the 4th of July. We wore matching shirts to the fireworks. Good times!

School's Out for Summer

With Friday being the last day of school we decided to mix in a little family fishing trip amongst the parties and graduation this weekend. We loaded up the crew and headed to our "secret" lake and every body caught at least one fish. Belle caught 3 and lost a fourth and the twins got a double. It was a nice official kickoff to our summer of 2010.

Baseball Season Ends

Erik coached the baseball team this spring. They made it into the regional playoffs, so all the team sported mohawks. They lost yesterday to ACH, so the season is over and hopefully Erik will let me cut his hair now.

Mother's Day

The girls and Dad woke up early on Mother's Day and made heart-shaped donuts with chocolate icing and sprinkles for breakfast! It was a good day.

Twins still wear us out

One night we could not get the twins to fall asleep (long naps earlier in the day), so we were just happy that they stayed in their room and let us go to bed. This was the scene the next morning. They have tucked themselves in to their collapsible clothes hampers for beds after staying up to destroy the bedroom all night. This will be cute later right?

Eliza's Birthday

Eliza turned 7 on April 26th! She asked for a "wedding cake" that was pink with white roses. It was fun for us to make. She received lots of fun presents and exclaimed, "I got a bill!" After she opened a card with birthday money in it. :-) Hopefully she'll understand the difference between the two before she gets too much older.

Happy Easter 2010!!

Easter morn we arose to find these four bunnies huddled near the harth seeking chocolate, jelly beans and other bunny treats. Needless to say the Easter Bunny didn't disappoint and all were sick by 8:09am.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Belle (in the pink plaid dress) did wonderfully in the school's Winter Program. They rang and sang "Jingle Bells" as a preschool class.

Eliza (in the black and white dress) also sang in the program with her 1st grade class. They have been learning to speak Spanish and did all of their songs in Spanish.

Christmas Eve we got to open presents at Grandma Rita's house. We met cousin Madelynn for the first time and enjoyed having Lilli to play with.

Here's the twins on Great Grandpa Lyman's couch Christmas afternoon. They had a wonderful Christmas morning and we all had a delicious dinner followed by fireworks! New year's we were out at Grandpa Lynn's cabin on Priest Lake with cousins Jaden and Kale. It was a very busy season for us. We are very blessed. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
