MY LITTLE MEN DURING THE RAINY DAY!

He did an awesome job folding and putting away!
Nathan realized he was missing out on a ton o fun and decided to help!

Grant realized all on his own that the counter needed to be wiped off. That's my boy!
Yeah... He moved!
We ended up with a few less than we started with ;)
Grant followed me into the kitchen to help peel the bananas for freezing.
Nathan decided to veg out on the couch for a little bit.

What an awesome day! I LOVE days like this when it is raining outside and I am lucky enough to be a stay at home mom! I have been horrible about posting and have missed out on many opportunities to record memories. Hopefully that will change. Grant decided to play with his tools (for a few minutes) and then he was on to following me around to help with EVERYTHING!

Kami's Birthday! The BIG 6

Kami is totally growing up. I can't believe it... I do not have little girls anymore. She is such a joy to have in our family and is such an awesome help (especially with Grant). She is going to be a great mom! I bought her the shirt with a cupcake on it because she is all about the sweets! Since before Thanksgiving she had her birthday planned and it was going to be at her aunt Rebecca and uncle Matt's house. We did one on her birthday at home and then had a separate special party at there house for her. Uncle Matt made homemade pizza, we played the Wii, and had fun outside! She was spoiled this year with all of the parties she got and also went to Build-a-Bear a couple of time. What a blast!

SPRING GARDEN TIME!!!!

Wow... I have been horrible at keeping up on posting. Well here it goes! I love get ready for spring time. We always have such a blast (and a ton of work) getting the garden ready. The kids were easily entertained with the garbage can. Needless to say it was shower time right after! The chickens were also a help by eating the leftovers from the garden. ;)

CHRISTMAS TIME & GRADUATION DAY!!!

Aunt Shannon had puppies and we had to go see!

Grant was on a quest to juice the lemons!




Emily's Christmas concert. We missed a portion of it because Mom didn't go to the right place! So sorry Em!


Kami's Christmas concert!




The BEST Christmas present EVeR! Daddy graduated!

Daddy (Robert) finally graduated with HONORS on December 18th, 2009 with a Bachelors of Science in Engineering! All of the support and love we have had from our family and friends was priceless and made the journey so much easier. Thanks to all who attended and supported one way or another on this special day! After Robert's name was called, he walked over and they handed him his "Diploma", Emily said "Cool... Dad got a book". I couldn't help but laugh. We are so amazed at all of his hard work and could not be any more proud of his accompishment! Great job Daddy!

Hula Hoop Contest/Turkey Run-Thanksgiving Day-Turkey Waddle!

Thanksgiving at Grandma Dears!

Kids had a blast in the bouncer!

Turkey Waddle 2009 on Thanksgiving Day!
Emily has been into running lately so we decided to run in
the Turkey Waddle for our first race ever! It was a 5k (3.2 m?) and everyone was amazed at how well she did. She did not stop for more than 15 seconds at a time. She ran until about half way and then we started taking little breaks. There was over 400 runners and Rob estimated that we came in the first 20%! I am so proud of her for not giving up and finishing! She did say at one point that she wished she didn't have to finish but she did it! Great job Em! See you at London's Run in January! Check back soon as I will be posting pictures from the girls Turkey Run and Hula Hoop contest. Kami ran and Emily Hooped for an hour before they finally said you are a winner!
Rob and kids came to cheer us on!

We made it! Awesome job Em!

Over 400 people ran!
