Emily striking a pose!

This is how Jessica plays 'peek-a-boo'. With her dress. Look at those rolls on her legs!!

This is Emily with Mrs. Hough (Huff) her Kindermusik teacher. She is wonderful!! Notice Emily's tongue. This is what she does when shes embarrassed!! Funny girl!

This is for you, mom. Jessica in the BYU shirt that grandma bought for her.

Emily running back from bowling her ball. Her ball went so slow, she could run back to us & back to the lane & it still hadn't hit the pins yet. It was pretty funny!

Happy 12th Birthday Eric!

Eric turned 12 on May 6th. We had a great party with friends & family. We sure love Eric! He adds so much to our family. We are so blessed to have him be a part of our family!! I can't believe he's 12!!

Here is Eric with his new ipod from Uncle Chad. This is his pride & joy!!

Random things

I found this picture I thought you'd like to see it. It's kind of a dark pic of Emily & Eric. We almost did get snowed in!! Look at how high up the door the snow was! And the wind doesn't even blow that way!

Baby Chicks & a Haircut

Well, a neighbor of ours has chickens & offered us some little chicks to keep. So, we went to their house to check them out. We'll get them when they're a little older. Aren't they cute? He has a little coop for us and everything. We're just hoping they aren't all roosters. The kids asked what we would do if they were all roosters. I told them we would name 2 of them Shishka & Bob. LOL They didn't think that was as funny as I thought it was!!

Emily needed a haircut pretty bad. So, we just decided to do cut it one day. This is how long her hair was!!

Now this is what it looks like! I thought it turned out cute. Especially for my first time 'really' cutting hair other than just a trim. She loves it. She spent the rest of the day staring at herself in the mirror saying ' I love my hair'!! I love this girl!! She is so sweet!

Update

I always forget to 'get' anybody for April Fools until about 9:00 that night, so I dished up some 'ice cream' for the kids & poured chocolate sauce on top. The 'ice cream' was really garlic mashed potatoes!! Emily had a friend over to spend the night & his reaction was so funny! Eric got mad at me for 'making' him eat it & Emily kept taking bites. I think she ate 5 or 6 bites of it!!! She kept saying "that's yucky!", but kept eating it. She was licking the spoon!! Silly girl. Here's a pic of the 'ice cream'

Jessica enjoying her peas. LOVES peas!!!

Adam got up from the breakfast table the other morning & started doing the dishes!! Without me asking him!!! This is so rare, it was picture worthy!!! You can tell he's not thrilled about my reaction. I thought it was great!!

Ok, this picture was taken at the Zoo with some friends of Emily. Do you see her all nuzzled up to the little boy? That is Justus. They have already told us that they are getting married & they call each other boyfriend & girlfriend. Doesn't this picture look like an engagement photo? Oh, brother!!Already!!The other little girls couldn't care less. LOL

We've been bowling a few times lately. We have a great time! We're actually getting pretty good. NO, you DO NOT see bumpers up on our lane!! Ok, so maybe we're only good with the bumpers up, so what!!
