Potpourri

I’m back for another rousing round of potpourri.

Here we have Spencer playing with a princess castle:

Here we have a grumpy Caroline who didn’t want to go to bed:

Spencer thinks this rug is his parking lot.  Could there be a worse place for lawn mowers and strollers to constantly be than right in front of the kitchen sink and oven?  The answer is no.

The preciousness of a sleeping baby:

The silliness of a girl with a pot on her head:

Brooke being creative on her school paper yet again:

We visited Temple Square with some friends:

We had a lovely Thanksgiving with Dallas’s family:

We had our first snow day.  The girls experienced the joy of playing in the snow.  I experienced the joy of having a fenced backyard meaning I didn’t have to go out with them:

I had to smile a few days later when the snow melted and I saw the remains of the snowmen they built:

I also had to smile at this:

That’s our backyard!  It almost looks like it has grass!  We got some rain for several days and then the snow, and when the snow melted our yard was green.  It gives me hope that next year we may actually be able to grow grass.  Hallelujah!

(Just a reminder of what the yard looked like before:)

The girls posed with their bears:

And of course Brooke insisted that I take a picture of my fourth child:

Turns out I have a lot of pictures saved up that I’ve been meaning to post to the blog.  Here’s the first installment.

Brooke and Caroline have really taken a liking to coloring.  This explains why we are using reams of paper and print cartridges up like you wouldn’t believe.  Also, I’m pretty sure Caroline’s going to be a lefty:

Bear had to have a minor operation to fix a falling-off arm.  Here he is with all his friends getting ready for surgery.  Don’t worry — everything went well during the operation and Bear has made a full recovery:

What kept Spencer glued to the window for over thirty minutes one morning?  The landscaping crew across the street that had no less than three big lawn mowers going at one time:

Dallas’s shadow:

Our fire station had an open house that we went to.  Spencer loved seeing the trucks and getting his own fire hat:

The girls got hats also:

I can’t help it.  I think Spencer is so cute with his hat:

I’m forced to include multiple pictures:

Oh no!  Now Dallas has joined Spencer!  Time for more pictures of my two cute guys:

Getting in a basket is fun:

So fun that sister had to join in:

We’ll call that good for today.  Part two will be coming up shortly.
