Zoe Sitting, Bouncing and Giggling

This picture of Zoe was taken February 23rd. She is a 6 months and 6 days old. Her fluffy chick hair is so soft and smells sooo sweet.

Grandpa Harry Takes the Kiddos to a Movie

My Dad came over today and took all the kids to a movie. It is amazingly quiet. My homeschoolers heart is having an argument with my head that it could be so almost everyday, at least for a little while...

My heart always wins that I would miss all these gorgeous smiles
if they were gone from me most of the day.

Sweet things my baby boy has said or done in the last few weeks:
While counting... one-teen (11) or tooty-two (22) alway makes him break out in giggles when I point out his funny mistake.
His happy sigh when we get to the end of "Are You My Mother?" when the baby bird finds his Mother at the end of the story.

Primary Thank You

David gave the prayer in Primary and his Primary President sent him a sweet little thank-you card with a piece of gum inside. David was thrilled to get something in the mail and was super happy when he found his piece of gum.

Zoe Finds Her Toes!

Cami sent these pictures a few weeks back of when Zoe started playing with her toes; so adorable is all this Grandma has to say!

December 22, 2005

I've been trying to organize my pictures better on my computer and I came across this video of Jared giving Rachel and Julia horsey-rides on his back. It was taken a few days before Christmas in 2005, David is just about 4 months old. I didn't think I had any video of David as a baby because my computer and camera at the time were so lame my computer would freeze up anytime I would try to upload video to the computer so I just didn't take many videos. So sweet to see them all so little again.

Awww...David's chubby cheeks and Rachel's little voice brought tears to my eyes.

Thanksgiving 2010

My blogging has come to a halt and it's all this smilebox's fault...It takes too long to view and there are too many pictures. Homeschooling four children this year has left me little time to spend on smileboxes and blogging.
Fun time at the Gidleys this last year for Thanksgiving though.
