Hello Headgear

Jude isn't happy about this at all. But he put it on all by himself and understands how important it is to do it every single night. So hopefully we won't drag this braces business out too long! Also, who sleeps like that? This kid either sleeps stiff-as-a-board straight on his back or with his feet straight up the wall or hanging over the side. . . he's a weird one.

Raptor Romp

Ahhh- the Raptor Romp. It really is a lot of fun. But it's also exhausting to take all the kids anywhere by myself. Lydia was bummed that she wasn't out there performing with all of her friend's from last year :( But she had fun watching and supporting (and taking pictures)
Julia! She's definitely one of the tinesier Kindergartners.
T and Kayla had a GOOD time.
Look at those moves!
And the end-all Chicken Dance.
Pure chaotic joy.

Happy Birthday Jude!!

Look at my not-so-little baby boy :)
Dad has decided that when you turn 8 you get a doughnut the size of your head. Jude was really close to finishing that thing too. And Lydia was a bit disappointed in her doughnut that was not quite as big as her head, but still massive. . .


Scouts! A new book, shirt, scriptures, everything he needs!

And new shoes. Size THREE! I truly can not believe he's already 8. Some days I miss my little boy, but mostly I just love having him around. He's such a sweet boy (when he wants to be) and so stinking smart that I just love talking with him. I do moon-walk away when he starts describing Pokemon though. . . that's what his friends are for.

Best Friends

Talia and Emily get along so well- when Talia isn't bonking Emily on the head! It's nice having a friend that understands T and loves her in spite of her :)

Floating Fun

The kids LOVE it when Dad takes them swimming.
Kayla is getting really good at floating and trusting and I can't wait until everyone knows how to swim and we can all just go and I won't have to worry about the babies out-numbering the grown-ups anymore. Jude and Lydia can reach everywhere, but Julia is still so tinesy she has to stay with the babies in the shallower end and she hates it. But sometimes I keep the babies home and Dad just takes the big kids and she gets to be more adventurous.
Poor baby, left all alone.

Talia Megan

This kid always cracks me up with her vibrancy. Never a dull moment.
