It's beggining to look a lot like Christmas!!

We have been getting snow off and on in the past week, and it's been a lot of fun for the kids! I took them to the park the other day, and though they didn't have gloves, they had a good time running around and plopping all over the snow.

At first they didn't know what to think about it all...

Here they are starting to like the idea

Don't you just love their "get-ups"? (snow isn't a common thing around here)

Emma and Natalie are little posers, they both picked their pose.

I think they turned out pretty good

Naomi HAD to wear this outfit.

Briallen had a blast once she figured that the cold stuff was okay.

HELP!!!

Before:
After:

...... Need I say more???

Look how long it was! :(

What do I do? I don't want to have to buz it; I don't know how to fix this! Please give me suggestions.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches!!

......And all of your lovely decorations. (my kids had such a good time decorating the tree, and Briallen had a blast undecorating the tree. It is a daily routine around here.)

My beautiful babies

I was going through some of my pictures, which I do all the time, and I was just thinking about how greatful I am to have 4 beautiful little girls. I am so blessed! They are all so smart and healthy, and fun. I LOVE being a mom! I wouldn't trade any part of it for anything in the world!

Fun pictures

After having family pictures, Randy's sister, Margie took some pictures of Randy and I. We had a lot of fun, and I actually think we got a couple of good ones. Here are a few of them:

Haha! I thought this one was fun. Just dorky, that's all.

Hare Family pictures

The other day we got our Hare family pictures taken. We had Randy's sister take some pictures of our little family just for the fun of it. As you can see, it wasn't easy. (and these are just a few) We could not get all the children to look at the camera and smile at the same time! Oh well, it's still fun.

This is a picture of all of the grandchildren in the family. Randy just stood behind the photographer and snapped a few. He got a couple of good pictures.

Emma goes to the dentist

Emma had a cavity and had to go to the dentist. She was so scared that she wouldn't open her mouth at all. We tried for 30 minutes untill finally Dr. Robinson said to bring her back another day. We prepared her pretty well, so that when we went in there the next week, she opened right up. (the pictures are in the wrong order)

Why do they have to grow so fast??

Briallen is already walking!!! I am not ready for her to grow up. I wanted her to be a tiny baby for longer than 2 minutes, but she has different ideas. She has been on the go since she was born. I would post pictures, but since my computer crashed AGAIN, that wont be happening.

Jeopardy!!!

Jeopardy seems to be a big hit in our home lately. Randy loves to watch it, and the kids picked up on it fast. They LOVE the theme song. They will sit and watch it, and as soon as the theme song comes on, they all jump up and dance. It's really cute. Well, I didn't realize that Briallen feels the same way. Today she was sleeping on my lap, and as soon as the song came on, she sat up and started to dance. Randy stopped it to start it over for the other kids, so she laid back down. When the song started again, she sat right back up, and danced to the whole song. As soon as it was over, she laid back down and went back to sleeping as if nothing had happened. Randy and I were laughing so hard! I wondered if she was dancing in her sleep, because usually as soon as her eyes open, there is no hope for her to go back to sleep. She is a very light sleeper. Haha! Kids do the cutest things!

I've been tagged!!

Here are some of my CRAZY quirks:

1) If I see a cupboard or a drawer open, anywhere, I have to shut it. It bugs me if I don't.
2) I LOVE people to play with my hair. I beg people to do it. It relaxes me so much!!!
3) I always play with my ears....weird, I know. I have done it for as long as I can remember (I remember playing with them in elementary).
4) Okay, so I play with my toes too. Yeah, I don't know why.
5) I always bite the insides of my cheeks. It feels good to me.
6) I would rather sing than clean. I can be in the kitchen, or any room, "cleaning" while I am dancing around, and singing to the top of my lungs (it does get clean eventually, it just takes a lot longer).

The funny thing: I have ALWAYS had these quirks. My whole life. I don't remember not having them. Pretty bad, I know.

Here are some of the rules: List 6 of your quirks. Tag 6 people. Let the person know you've tagged them.
I tag: Lisa, Molly, Chalise, Merrilee, Angie, and Danielle.

Asleep on the job

A lot of times when I am cleaning I will put Briallen in her high chair with some snacks to entertain her. The other day, she threw her snacks on the floor, and fell asleep. I think it's so cute when they fall asleep in the high chair.

Family Rides

Lately we go on family bike rides, especially since Emma can ride her bike on her own. She is always wanting to go. I love going; It feels so good to ride bikes, and I love doing something together as a family.

Natalie rode in the trailer with her daddy.
Emma rode next to me with Naomi and Briallen. She did so awesome!!

Naomi and Briallen havin' fun riding in the trailer.

Big Girl bike!!!

Yesterday Randy bought a bike at D.I. for Emma. One without training wheels!!! We went down to the park, and Randy worked on teaching her how to ride it. She did so good. She could actually go pretty far before she would tip over, she has really good balance. She'll be a pro in no time!

"I'm doing it!!!"
I don't know if you can see this picture, but she is concentrating really hard.
Natalie rode around on her bike a little too.

The other kids and I hung out at the play ground while Randy taught Emma.


I just like this picture because you can see her first tooth. :)

Farewell Dahlen!!!

Dahlen, our nephew, is leaving to go to the MTC on September 3rd. He is going to Portugal. Dahlen has such a great testimony, and we know that he will be an awesome missionary. Thank you for being such a great example; We hope you have a wonderful 2 years!!! Love ya Dahlen!!!

Dave Bundy Reunion

The fun slide!!!
All of the kids had such a blast going down this slide. They went over and over and over again. McKay helped them go down to make sure that nobody fell in the pond that was at the end of the slide. They loved him going with them (thanks McKay)!




The itsy bitsy children played in the water spout!
The water spout was the fun attraction that all of the little ones played in. You can't keep them away from it. All that matters is that they were being good, and loving life!

Four wheelers are always a good babysitter. The kids can play on those for hours.

These are just a few miscellaneous pictures. I'm a slacker, and didn't get any of Briallen...
