Chris turns 30!

Chris had an interview in Eugene on his 30th birthday, so we were able to help celebrate. Andrea made the cake!

Group Picture......Adorable!

Next time we try to take group pictures I'm going to try to remember to have someone taking video at the same time just to document everything that goes on behind the scenes when we are trying to get all the kids to look at the camera at the same time. Just imagine (which isn't hard because you have probably experienced this before) all of the adults arranging kids, fixing clothes and then running behind the camera and making noises and clapping hands trying to get all the kids to look at them, keep their hands off of their faces and smile.....all at the same time. Janae was great, she was ready for every click of the camera. The funniest part of these pictures was when Andrea stepped in to move Cooper closer to the girls (for a more balanced picture)and as soon as she backed up Cooper started scooting away (no girl germs for him) so this was the best we could do. After every one of these "photo shoots" I tell myself I need to take a photography class so that even if the kids don't cooperate (wiggle, giggle and move) the pictures will still turn out.

Decorating Easter Cookies

We decorated cookies during the morning session of General Conference to help keep us quiet while we listened to the speakers.

Egg Hunt

It started to sprinkle just as the egg hunt started but the kids still had lots of fun.

A beautiful Spring day in Vancouver!

Saturday Morning Donuts!

A couple of weeks ago while up in Vancouver I took the kids to Krispy Kreme Donuts. We had lots of fun watching them make donuts and then picking one out to eat!

January and February in Review!

This past couple of months have gone by almost faster than I can keep up, but we have had lots of fun. So here are a few pictures of some of the things that we have been doing.

Cooper's first "tea party" with his cousins, Janae and Kiera.

The girls had fun showing Cooper what it was all about.

Cooper caught on right away, especially when they started passing out the cookies.

Hannah with her first sucker.....

....and enjoying the swing.

Sunday after church.
