Our singers

Here is Ariel singing a song by Adele.

Here is Alice singing like Ariel.  I made them step outside for better lighting.

Dr. Seuss's Birthday, and playing around with the camera

 We went to a Dr. Seuss celebration and the kids got these cool hats.

Kinda like these ones that Ariel and Adriana got at a similar celebration back in 2004 when Dr. Seuss turned 100.

Annika was setting Alice up for her ideal pose.  She even made her cross her legs.

Live long and prosper!!

Dallin just got this Lego Ninjago and he ad to have me take a picture with it.

I had fun playing with the focus.

Annika just loving the pose.

Annika sold Girls Scout cookies for the first time, so I thought these would be fun pictures.

Adriana is always ready to smile for the camera

Grandma and Grandpa's farewell

Alice and I flew out to Wisconsin for Mom and Dad's mission farewell.  Here is a picture of the whole crew after church.

Alice had so much fun with all her cousins.  She kept exclaiming, "My cousins!"  And was just delighted with them.

I thought Ruby and Hannah looked so picturesque in the snow.

Alice daring to pet Ruby while Grandpa is holding her.

With the chickens.

Alice cuddled up with Grandpa while the rest of us were playing games, and they both conked out.

Alice's 2nd Birthday and Annika's 100th day of school

Alice made her own cake this year. 

 Everyone was SO excited about Alice's presents it was hard to get them to let her open them by herself.

Those are one hundred buttons tat we glued with fabric glue onto her shirt in the shape of a 100 like she wanted.  It was one of those good mommy moments for me.
