Family Movie Night

About a month ago we decided that it would be fun to start doing a weekly Family Movie Night. The kids have had such a good time, and look forward to every Friday. We choose a movie, (not always what Jared and I would choose, but it's for the kids!! =) pop some popcorn and settle in to watch the movie together. This last week Kaitlin really got into it, and wanted to make a poster to hang on the door to remind everyone. It's been a blast and the kids love it!!! This is a fun family activity that I would love to continue for a long time!

Here is Kailtin's poster! She told me what she wanted it to say, and I typed it. Then, of course it had to be PINK!!

First Tooth!!

I put down Gavin for his afternoon nap and when I went to get him up he had a surprise for me....a TOOTH!! I could not believe it considering this morning he did not have one! He has been chewing on everything under the sun lately, but has not been unusually fussy, so I was completely surprised!! Enjoy the picture...it's a little blurry, but he is always smiling and sticking out his tongue! It's too cute. I sure love this little guy!

Fond Memories...

We found these videos today while looking through old files, and it was too cute to pass up posting.

My Babies!!

My very talented sister Michelle is here visiting, and took some amazing pictures of my kids. Here are some of them! Sorry there are so many, but I love them all, and I just couldn't choose! Thank you so much Michelle for putting up with four crazy kids in the 90 degree heat, and capturing these wonderful shots of the loves of my life....my children!! On a side note....Michelle has started her own photography business and has such a creative eye when taking pictures! Check out her blog michelletandyphotography.blogspot.com to view more pictures of her amazing work!! Love it!! =)

Kiss, Kiss!!

When I walked in my room to check on Gavin during his nap, this is what I found......

Look at those lips! So kissable!! If it wasn't for the fact that he is the lightest sleeper in the world, I would have jumped at the chance to give him a big, fat kiss!!

It's hot, hot, hot!

Today the temperature reached 113 degrees!! What the heck!! Here are some pictures of the kiddos cooling off a couple weeks ago in Nana and Papa's pool.

Just Because...

...he's so darn CUTE!! You can't completely read his shirt, but it says "Chick Magnet" You know he is!!

Happy Birthday Kaitlin!!

Happy Birthday to our princess Kaitlin!! Today she turns 6 years old! I can't believe it. Here she is enjoying her birthday breakfast in bed. Kaitlin is such an amazing girl, and I'm proud to be her mother. She loves to learn and is very smart. She has developed my love for reading, and also loves to draw. It's been very fun to watch her grow over the past year and to see new talents develop. We are so blessed to have her in our family! Happy Birthday Kaitlin, we love you!

Smiley Boy!

I love it when babies reach this milestone, and can give you a true smile. Gavin brings me so much joy when he looks at me with his sweet little face and then breaks out in a big toothless grin. He has the cutest smile, and the cheeks are an added bonus. It just can't get any better than this.

I was playing with Gavin on the couch and Jayden wanted to take a picture! I was amazed at how great it turned out. I love it!

I just had to post one more. All the late night feedings, all the spit up and the fussiness is all worth it when I see this angel face!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!!

This past weekend Kaitlin and I had mom and daughter date night, and went to see Clovis North production of "Bye Bye Birdie" My mom played the Mayor's Wife, and looked so cute! It was great being able to spend one on one time with Kaitlin, and leave all the boys at home!
