Hallo-weeeeeeeeeeee-ners

Yum. Toes.

Mara is our first baby ever flexible enough to enjoy her toes as a little snack. I love all the little things that babies get away with. It's cute when they toot or belch or drool. If I walked into the room and saw any of my boys with their feet in their mouth I'm pretty sure I'd freak out.

Charlie's Baptism

Our sweet little boy is 8 and was baptised as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints today!

He is such a great kid. Smart. Friendly. Athletic. Protective. Focused. Creative. Silly. Love him.

One of his favorite things to do is to write things to do is to write things about other people using the letters of his name. He asked me to do one for him recently:



Chin dimples
Happy
Athletic
Ready to play
Long eyelashes
Intelligent
Eight

Builder of Legos
Awesome
Reader
Nice to his brothers and sister
Eldest
Sushi lover

Isaac was a little hilarious handful, as usual. Right after Charlie was baptised he yelled, "OK! My turn!" Luckily we had a lot of family in town to help out and to celebrate Charlie's special day.  I'm really hoping my wonderful sister took more pictures for me because apparently I spaced it and this is pretty much it!

First Hunt

Charlie and Jack each took turns joining Greg on his muzzleloader hunt. (Hmmmm... did I really space it and forget to take a picture of Jack with his dad?) Note charlie's little notebook he took along to journal observations.

A cropped story.

I took this sweet picture of Jack and Mara this morning.

And then I realized that I had cropped out the rest of the story.

The sweetest moments in life can be found 

even when there's a lot of poo.
