Tyler got into the pool toys and Briggs has been sportin' this gettup for the last couple of days!

Is Spring coming?

With a warm weekend we got out in the yard to prune for spring. Mike was busy all weekend trimming trees.

Bye Bye Cherry Tree


Suckers galore!

Solitude

Mike, David, Brent, Amy and Tyler spent the day up at Solitude

Tyler's third broken window

I was standing in the kitchen when I heard glass shatter. I look out to the front and see Tyler with a golf club and a suprised look on his face. I looked down on the laundry room floor and saw the pink golf ball.

Tyler is only 4 years old and this is the THIRD window he has broken! The first one was in Maitland when he hit the girl's window with a piece of wood. The window stayed broken for over a year. The second was his own bedroom window in Maitland when he hit it because he was mad he was in time out. I replaced it quickly because I knew how. Now this window I can't replace because it is a leaded window with individual panes.
This post his for history's sake when his son does this to his house.

Katelyn's Baptism

February 28,2009 was a special day for us. Katelyn was baptized and received the gift of Holy Ghost. She had lots of family and friends attend to share this special day with her. After her baptism Katelyn said,"I feel good and clean".

Wild Wednesday at the Hogle Zoo

You know how much I love free stuff! The zoo was free admission all day Wednesday so we went for a couple of hours before Amy had to go to Kindergarden.
Things were a little sparce because of the winter season. There were no shows and the only exhibit going on was an animal art show. Signs everywhere saying the animals were inside for the winter. It was a short and sweet visit- the kind I like.








On our way home I was saying we should make sure Katelyn can come with us next time and Amy told me that we should not go back until summer time when there was more to see.

Getting Ready for the New Baby

So I have been going through the baby clothes and getting things washed and ready for the new baby girl. Katelyn and Briggy were helping me go through some things and Brigham had to try on all the headbands...at once. Notice his pinched ear turning purple.

Katelyn's Eighth Birthday

We had a great night with Katelyn on her birthday. She requested a jell-o birthday cake and it was easy and yummy!

This pic is of Amy when she was 4 years old. I had a good friend in Maitland, FL that was a talented photographer and she was wanting to take more kid photos for her portfolio. She we headed to Lake Lilly park and the kids played around on a historic home while she snapped some pics. I look at this picture and miss Amy's curly ringlets she had when she was little.

It is great to be 8!!!!

Happy Birthday Katelyn! Eight GREAT years! We can't believe our oldest is 8 years old. You were a cute baby and you have grown to be a beautiful girl. You always add so much spice to our lives and your siblings love playing with you. You are a huge help to mom and I don't know what I would do without you.
