We are still alive!!!

Yes we are still alive and doing well. School has started and life is looking up. I am sorry I haven't posted in a while but life has been a tad bit crazy. But I have now gotten you all up to date with the happenings here.

And he is off....

Here he is taking his almost very first steps. The first didn't make it on camera. I can't lie though I am a little sad that he is starting to walk. I am not ready for my baby to grow up yet. I was hoping he would wait just a little longer before he started. However he still prefers to crawl over walking so maybe I will get what I want after all.

Axel's first haircut

Here is Axel's first haircut. As you can see he looked totally happy. Actually he cried through most of it but every time I would say to Axel, "say cheese" he would smile at the camera, it was great. He hated getting his haircut. But he did look handsome.







No he is not abusing him. In fact he wasn't crying here at all. I wish you could see the video of this but it wouldn't download.













Oh how cute!!!















And just to prove that he loved his daddy still he posed for this cute picture afterwards.

Lego Land

We promised the boys we would take them to Lego Land after we moved to California. So here we are. Now they can't say we don't keep our promises. They were in heaven and could have stayed forever but we had to leave because JJ had a couple of dental emergencies he had to take care of that evening. But they had a fun filled day while there.

















Here is Jorden and mom driving the boats. Thank goodness for the bumpers around the track. Jorden did fabulous at driving.













Michael and Gunnar being eaten by Jaws!!

























Axel getting friendly with the pirate.























Dad and Jorden flying an airplane. Don't they both look so happy!!!?

Our last weeks of Summer

We spent our last few weeks of Summer playing at the beach. All my boys were hesitant to go but have realized how much they love it. (It is a good thing too!!!)


This is Michael, Gunnar, and their cousin Brynnly. She just wanted to do what ever they did even though the waves kept knocking her over.






Here is Jorden, he loved racing the waves back into shore.














Jorden took up a new sport of boogie boarding. I thought at first he would be too scared to try it but he did and loved it.













Gunnar did too. Michael not so much but he will learn.














Here is Axel, he just loved eating food!!!

Elliot Lauren

Here is my little girl. Since I can't make one of these, I have to live vicariously through my sister's girls. Isn't she adorable.
