My trip to Az in January.

Sisters. What can I say....They are the best!

Cute nephews that I miss! I was sick so I didn't get to snuggle them that much (sigh).

Jonathan took us to the Mexican border. Very interesting to see. We felt like we were on the job with him (sort of). Maybe I was just imaging I was a border control agent.

Me jumping in the 40 degree pool. We got a lot of wierd looks.

Grace by the pool.

Jonah and Kayla acting like dogs at the dog park. Leah, Should we be worried?

Adney and Grace soaking in some sun on a turtle sculpture.

My 21/2 yr old! Gracie!

My sister Miriam took these pictures while we were in Arizona. She did a very good job! Grace will turn 3 June 17th! I can't believe it.

goodbye 4 runner

I have been wanting to get a van for a while. Jacob wanted to keep this 4 runner until it died. I disagreed and posted it on craig's list and immediately started getting calls about it. It was sold within a week. Don't get me wrong, I loved my Toyota. But, it was time to move on. We got a honda odyssey. Nothing fancy, but it is a lot easier with kids. Thanks for the memories 4 runner.

Gracie (the almost 2 yr old)

My darling Grace turns 2 yrs old on Thursday! She is such a little lady. She is obsessed with shoes, purses, makeup, jewelry, dresses, doggies, kitties, chocolate, and last but definately not least babies. She also has to keep up with her 2 older brothers so she has a hidden tough side. I am so thankful to have this spunky blue eyed gal in my life!

Isaac graduates preschool

My buddy Isaac just finished preschool and is on to bigger more exciting things (aka kindergarten). I am glad he had good experiences in preschool. It has been nice to have him home with me. What a great kid he is! During the day he would help me do the dishes, visit with me while we grocery shop, help me in the garden, and help watch Grace. Whoever his new Kindergarten teacher is (You are very lucky to have Isaac in your class, and you better take good care of my litte guy).

I luv Italy!

Oh My Grace!

I have been doing a lot of fix ups in our house (painting). Grace manuevered to the open can of white paint before I did and dumped it all over the kitchen floor and herself. She didn't seem to mind the paint on her body and loved the texture in between her fingers. Thank goodness no lead. She bought herself a bath in the kitchen sink (she loved it of course).
