A Little Bit of Sun

Thanks for your comments and prayers.  We finally got some sunshine!  We all went outside and played in the front yard the other day.  It was so nice to go out without having to put snow suits on everyone!  I am so excited for summer to finally be here.

Alyssa loves helping in the garden!

Maddox thinks he is helping....!

Shilah is just worried about her little play phone.

Rylee is always up to something!

and Lexie is always smiling!

Crazy Weather

 Our computer is back up and running.  Thank goodness.  Its amazing how much I really rely on my computer.  

Okay so I don't mean to complain, but the weather here just stinks.  It has been such a long winter with keeping the babies inside and away from people (because we were scared about them catching RSV and ending up in the hospital).  I was hoping by April or May we could start going out and enjoying the nice weather and fresh air.  That has yet to happen and it is the middle of June.  We have had snow, wind, and days of endless rain.

This picture was taken in the middle of May!

This picture was taken at the first of June.  (Notice the babies are wearing their snow suits)

This picture was taken last week on the back of my porch!  Yes that is really a Tornado. 

 VERY SCARY!!!

So, needless to say, we are so tired of the weather and have been cooped up in our house for a whole year.  I think it is about time that the babies, and the girls and I  see that there is a whole world that really does exist somewhere.  So please pray for good weather for us so we can actually go outside!

Computer Update

Yesturday a computer technician drove over here and looked at our computer. It seems as though he fixed it but when we hooked the keyboard up it didn't work. So I have a computer that works but no keyboard to go with it. So I am still working off our old computer. I still have to call Apple to get them to send us a new keyboard, but with all the "free time" I have that hasn't happened yet. Its amazing I even find time to blog. Any way, hopefully we will be up and running soon. Sorry everyone has to wait to see more pictures of our beautiful kiddos.

Computer Crash

Well, our new computer just stopped working a couple of days ago. I went to work on it and it wouldn't even turn on. We had to hook our old computer up but, all my pics and things are on the other computer. This stinks. I am suppose to be getting it fixed this week, but the closest service place is 2 hours away. So, I can't just jump in the car and go hopefully they will send a technician out. Any way, I will try to post as much as I can without our other computer. Pray that my hard drive didn't crash and all my info is still on there. (Yes, I am stupid and I didn't back every thing up..... needless to say I have learned my lesson!)

Brooklynn's Song

Not a lot has gone on this past week.  My mom came up to visit and help with the little ones.  It is always nice to have her here.  I wish she could come more often.  Brooklynn was in a talent show at school.  Her and a boy named Victor sang a song called "Jimmey Picks Boogers"!  

Nice, right...?  That's my girl, making mommy and daddy proud.  Any way they did an awesome job and all the kids laughed at their song.   I was proud of her getting up in front of the whole school.  What a cutie!  (by the way it was Hawaiian day) 

Before my mom left the babies were being so cute.  We had to take a picture of them.  They love crawling up by my fire place (don't worry, its impossible for them to turn it on) and standing up.  They get in trouble all the time.  That's probably why they do it.  Any way, they were so cute so we had to take some pics.  Love the diapers.

Alyssa cracks me up.  Here is a funny picture of her.  I love her so much!

So, it hasn't been that eventful here, (except for baby stuff that would probably bore everyone)  but I wanted to post and let everyone know we are still alive. 

 Oh, and by the way.  For those of you who know of the General Primary President Sister Lant, she is coming to my house tomorrow!!!!!  I know its crazy.  I am so nervous and excited.  I can hardly wait.  Any way I will tell you all the details later.  

Trip to the Fire Station

The weekend of the babies birthday we had a lot of family here and we thought it would be fun to take the kids down to the fire station.  Matt and I have a really good friend that works there.  He agreed to give us a tour and show us all the fire trucks.  The kids had a blast.  Thanks Dale & LuAnne!!!

We wanted to get a picture of all the babies on the fire truck.  It was so funny, while we were getting this shot the alarms went of and all of a sudden a bunch of firefighters showed up and they were called to a fire.  Within minutes this truck and another truck were gone to fight a fire.  It kind of scared us all but the kids thought it was cool to see all the trucks and the lights and sirens go off.  We watched all the firemen get in the trucks and off to fight the fire!

Brooklynn and Dale's hat.  The hats are heavier than I even thought they would be.

Stop.........!! Its not what you think.  It really is a fireman's pole!  (HA HA)

Morgan (my niece) with the fireman's hat on!

Maybe we have some future firefighters in the bunch.  These are my kids and my nieces and nephews!

1st Hair Cuts!!!(don't forget to vote------------------>)

April 19th

Today is the day of the babies 1st Hair Cuts.  I am so sad to be cutting off their baby hair, it means they are growing up.  Aunt Melanie is a hair stylist so we drove over to Buffalo to have her do the job!  She wanted to give the babies their 1st cuts.  

Maddox

Ya I know, the Ladies are gonna love me!

Gotta keep smiling, even if Aunt Mel is taking a blade to my head!  It's all for the ladies!

Oh ya, I'm lookin sharp with my new look!  I'm ready to go out on the town.  

Ladies here I come!

Rylee

Rylee didn't really need a hair cut.  But, she amused us and was really good!

Oh sure, cuddle up before you take the scissors to my head!

(This is Aunt Melanie with Rylee)

I'll keep my eyes closed, its too scary!

Whew, its all over!  I guess it wasn't that bad.  Thanks Aunt Melanie.

Shilah

Okay, now its Shilahs turn.  She had some crazy hair going on.  Some pieces grew really long by her ears.  It really did look kind of funny. 

This is cool.  We are finally out of the house.  I don't know what I am doing, but I guess I'll smile pretty.

Okay, I'm not so sure about this.  What is Aunt Melanie doing with a sharp object?

I survived, but I'm still not so sure about all of this.

Lexie

Lexie probably needed a hair cut the most out of all the girls.  She had some funky pieces of hair growing at all different lengths.  

What are we doing?  I just woke up from a nap.  Let me go back to sleep you crazy people!

When will this be over.  I have beauty sleep I need to get back to!

If I give you a smile can I go back to sleep?

We got everyones hair cut, and I survived.  I have this thing with hair.  I am very attached to my children's hair for some reason.  I don't like cutting it so this was a huge step for me!  (I know Melanie is laughing right now as she reads this, but it is a known fact about me)!  The kids definitely look better and Maddox is so handsome!  I love his new cut.  Thanks Mel!
