Peek a boo

I don't know why it is, but babies playing peeka boo are some of the funniest things to watch...of course I am biased as a mother.

Creativity

Here is what Aaron was working on today after church...he has gotten very good with legos.









We've also rearranged the sleeping areas, again:) The kids are now back in the larger room, but Emma wanted her own space. So we threw up a rope and some blankets to seperate the room. Very makeshift, but Emma loved it:) Hopefully by this time next year, we'll actually have our addition added on with our real rooms:)

Another day's hard work

Ok, yesterday was Jacob's first birthday and as soon as Brent gets the video downloaded, I'll put that on here. Other than that here's some pictures of my day..first off Emma who has become an avid reading..
Now on to the fun stuff! Here is my pile of dishes half way through the day...
And my clothes to fold...on my bed...
in my dryer...
And at the end of the day....

Notice though that the clothes are folded on top of the dryer, and there are new clothes in the dryer...and...the dishes are not the same ones...so another ending to another day with five children who we are blessed to have enough food for and plenty of clothes:) Ta, ta for now. I'm going to sleep:)

Dallin's little quirks

Ok, so Dallin is my child that has to have everything in a particular order, or he can't deal with it. Today, he was playing with puzzles, and absolutely did not want to pick them up. He had to keep them with him, only because he decided that he had to have his puzzles with him. So, he tried to stuff as much as he could here....
He really tried to get as much as he could in his pocket:)


On another quirky note...Jacob is loving little spaces...I don't think he is claustaphobic...

Joseph framed

This is Joseph hanging out in our doorway. He was watching me try and get Brent's picture for his new business website that he is working on. I think it was a little amuzing because I was trying to chase Jacob at the same time.

Jacob's little adventure

After completely emptying the drawer....

Jacob decided to explore a little further.

Home Improvements

Ok, so I finally decided to start a blog about just our family:) We have blogs about other things, (who knew I would become such a blogger:), but not just the goings on in our family. So, this past month we finally laid down our bamboo floor, and I love it. We also got a fan for the living room and painted and tiled the doorway. It was a busy couple of weeks, but after all, we had been living on sub floor for 3 months.Here's our subfloor before the new floor was put in.
Our new fan and you can see our walls here are no longer aqua:)
My beautiful plant that hopefully doesn't get destroyed by little fingers
My window with curtains made by Cathy for us.
We tiled by the door and put bamboo floor in (pretend the toys aren't all over). We still need to put trim in.

I do want to put some posts on of the kids, but my camera's battery ran out...so next time.
