Everett Soccer

This boy LOVES soccer. I think he will make a great goalie, he likes to hang on the outskirts and keep the ball out of the goal. But he is good when he get in the game as well.

Of course he has to stop and give Calvin attention, as always

Do you think this guy is a proud big brother? Nah, not at all (LOL!)

Calvin is getting Big

Well in the last two weeks Calvin has gotten 2 teeth, started rolling, and sitting up by himself. You forget just how quick these things go with babies. He is so fun and very adored around here.

Everett is such a good helper. If only Calvin were slightly lighter he would be held a lot more, I guess thats a good thing then

The many faces of Simon

This kid is such a crack up, he make the cutest faces in the world. There is something to be said about two year olds, they are tough but man are they the cutest things EVER! I think Heavenly Father made them that way so they would survive adolescence.

I just want to kiss him!

Random fun

Yea! I'm updating. We have been have some fun at our house. My mom gave me this great idea, for easter we gave the boys shaving cream. No, we aren't preparing for shaving we are having good CLEAN fun. I must say our kitchen table smelled and felt smooth and fresh after this. Also the boys LOOOVED it!

I call this picture "Learning from the masters" I think its funny how the older two are doing the arm toots and the younger two are watching intently, while the "middle" child just laughs. How could I resist posting such a funny picture

I had to show off my chubby baby. I can't leave all this cute cub alone, who could. Don't you just want to eat him up, so nummy!

PICTURES!!!!

We got our annual family pictures done last month and I think they turned out really well. A huge thanks to my friend Tara who took them. You can see more of them here. The boys get a little crazy with pictures so thankfully Tara knows my boys are wasn't annoyed by it (Thanks Tara). Hope you enjoy them, we had fun.

Parker 8 1/2

Everett 7

Mason 5

Simon 2

Calvin 5 1/2 months

We had an "all boys" shot (but they were to dark), so I jokingly said "well are we going to have an all girls shot then?" so we did. How often do you get a pretty picture of your self when your a mom of lots of little ones? Especially when your "ready" for a picture, that was fun.

New Callings

Well a month or so back our stake did a realigning of our ward boundaries. We went from 4 wards to 5. So, with that Phil and I both got new callings. Phil went from the Assistant Varsity Coach to the 1st counselor in the Young Mens Presidency. I went from being the Bear den leader to the 1st Counselor in the Primary presidency. Phil is still working with the same boys, minus a few that went to the other ward and some added responsibilities. I am, should I say waaay out of my comfort zone. I am excited about the new experiences and things that I will learn. I am excited about the blessings that this calling will bring to me and my family. Also the many thing I will learn and grow from being here that will help me in other areas of my life. I thank the lord every day for all my blessings and trials. I hope to be able to do a good job. I will extremely miss my cub scouts (I LOVED that calling) but I still get to see the boys and interact with them so I won't miss them to much. Here's to new things!

A Few Firsts

I decided to try some solid foods with Calvin this week. He didn't like the bib but did't mind the food. Sorry about the blurry pictures I needed help from Everett and he doesn't quite understand my camera and focusing.

****Warning****

***funny naked shots of a toddler***

I figured if Pioneer Woman (scroll down, its there) can post a picture of her naked toddler on a 4 wheeler, I can post these of Simon, I have Waaaaay less readers than she does.

This is why you don't do three things:

1 - Get Simon out of the bath and NOT get his dress RIGHT AWAY!

2 - Leave the door TO the Garage open.

3 - Leave you car unlocked

Luckily he didn't leave me a present in there at all. If your wondering he is looking for gum, sneaky little guy.
