Catch up

I thought I’d do a catch up post of some things that have been going on in our family recently.

Sammie designed and decorated these desserts for a friend’s baby shower.  I thought she did a great job.

Dad joined me and the kids on a weekend trip to Kansas City to go through the new LDS temple there.  They held an open house to the public.  It is so beautiful.  Spencer came too, but was camera shy.

We had to say goodbye to these cute kids the day we headed out to Kansas City.  So sad to see the Gase family move to Dallas.  We will miss them so much!

I snapped this from inside the house- through a window.  I wanted to document Spencer outside on the trampoline.  He has not had energy for much jumping or playing of any kind until pretty recently.  Here are a few more:

Wacky Tacky Day

The kids got to dress up like crazy people for wacky tacky day earlier this month.  They send in a $1 for charity and get to dress funny.  Tyler chickened out on the swimsuit over his pants, but still looked pretty wacky. 

Tyler thought of wearing one church shoe and one tennis shoe.  Very creative!

Ella liked Sammie rubbing her nose. 

Spencer and Grandpa lounging.

Tyler and the blur.

 

I think Tyler knew that Parker was about to get into trouble for standing on the chair.

He was trying to hug Parker, but Parker just wanted to run.  Either that or he was tired of Tyler trying to strangle him. 

Besides Spencer’s deer in the headlights look (right before he started sobbing that he didn’t want his picture taken anymore) I think this picture is pretty good.  Too bad we can’t see Ella’s face.

The baskets.

Tyler was excited about his $1 bill.  Almost as excited for that as the chocolate bunny!

Other than we all look angry because we were facing the sun- this is a pretty good one by our standards.  No one is running away screaming anyway.

We had an egg hunt both days, but I only got pictures of the Atkins one.  I was busy helping Spencer with the Burnett hunt.  Thomas got quite a few pictures with his iphone so I’ll put those on the blog when we get them downloaded.

The cool kids.
