Avalanche game

Aaron and I went to a professional hockey game Saturday night.

We sat so close that we could smell when they opened up the locker room for the opposing team to walk in and out of. A small room full of 20 sweaty guys? Yeah, you can imagine the stench.

No fights. Just some good hockey-besides the fact that they lost.

Homework Project

Caroline had to disguise her Kindergarten Thanksgiving feast guest: a turkey. This is what she turned it in to...

An angry bird.

Henry also had to play, so he disguised his dinosaur into this...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ooops

Aaron apparently got dressed in the dark today because he put on one brown and one black shoe and went to work!

>chuckle<

Missing Summer?

Henry is pretending to go under water and swim (in the dirt). 

Afternoon at the Park

Oliver in the swing!

Sunday Afternoon Fort

I was taking a picture against the sun, but I couldn't resist. My sweet family decided to create a fort in which we watched a movie from. How was your Sunday Afternoon?

And 6 Months Later...

My three beautiful kids

A happy ER visit #4

ER visit number 3 was a false alarm. Just a bad sprain. (Thank goodness.)

I've decided that taking a picture with your phone and texting it- is a whole lot faster than blogging it. (Please excuse the poor quality of pictures. They are taken with my phone for the reason stated above.) There. There is my excuse. I just couldn't not share with everyone else (other than my siblings or parents) about what the stork brought home!

 Oliver. Not even hours old. Not a family name. Just loved it! Jacob is Aaron's brother's name. I have always wanted to use it... Henry Aaron was almost Henry Jacob. Jacob also happens to be my great grandpa's name.

 Opened my bathroom door to this one morning!

 Caught him smiling

Need white noise to put keep baby asleep? There is an AP for that!

This sweet girl...

is loving dance and preschool!

This good looking kid is obssessed with dinosaurs!

Carrying his basket of dinosaurs and eggs... like a baby doll and a Moses basket.

Hope all is well with you. Life is good with a precious newborn and a loving family; immediate and extended!

Caroline's First Day of Preschool

And she loved it!

Second ER Visit

Happy (late) 4th of July!

We went to Utah for the fourth and was able to stay with my Mom. We just so happened to see my sister's family and brother's family.

We went to a Water Park on the Fourth and had a blast! Henry was... mad that we left.

Caroline and I on the train ride to the Baseball game.

Caroline at the Baseball game.  We watched an awesome firework show. We were so close that the firework pieces actually fell on us. 

Caroline with her "New" smile. Notice anything different from the last picture? She and Henry ran into each other going full speed. I didn't really notice it before, but Henry's top of his head is the same height as Caroline's mouth. It was a weekend night after 8 o'clock (again). Her teeth were knocked back and crooked. They were extracted that night. It has been about a month now. We have had our ups and downs, but she is used to it. We went to the dentist 2 weeks ago for a check-up and her Dentist said that it looks like she may lose her front two bottom teeth by spring!! Poor girl 4 missing teeth?? She won't get her top teeth for another couple of years. Three is my guess. Henry's head? Bruised, but fine!

Showing off her new smile with her sweet cousin Avery

We went to the Dinosaur Museum earlier in the week. I seem to treasure those pictures with her teeth!

Our most recent family picture. Had to add it. Beautiful huh? In front of a shark.

Baby 3 on the way. It's a boy. 3 hospital visits in a year. Hopefully no more unscheduled ones. 2 ER visits in one month was a killer. Thanks shark. You probably jinxed us.
