Another picture day

I like experimenting with my camera, and who better than to experiment with, than my kids??

Another Dance Recital

Last week, Emma had another dance recital. She did so good again!! She has such good rhythm, and when the other girls would mess up, she stayed right on beat. I was so pleased with how she did. My nieces also performed, and they are all so talented. They have been dancing their whole lives. I hope my girls keep it up! :)

This is Sarah, the oldest niece:
Sarah again...

Emma looking so adorable up there on stage:

She pointed right in my direction, but I don't think she knew where we were sitting.

And this is Shelley. I got some pictures of Laura, but they all turned out blurry. I feel so bad.

Bumbo

We got this bumbo chair for Rebekah, and she loves it! She loves being able to sit up and watch everyone....

Look at those fat little legs!!!

Our little visitor

The other day, Randy went in the kitchen and found this little humming bird on our counter. He flew around our house for quite a while because he couldn't find his way out. The kids had a blast watching him!

I am thankful for moments like these....

In a wierd way, I am thankful for crazy moments like these. In the moment, I was bawling, crying, yelling, and saying "why me??!". But it's times like this that make everything else not seem so bad. Overflowing the tub, using all the soap, emptying drawers, eating in the living room, running outside constantly, and all the other everyday adventures seem so little after this:

For some reason, there are bad shadows at the top of this picture....

This is AFTER thier bath: (sorry about the nakedness)

Happy Birthday Naomi!!

Naomi wanted a pink horse:

And of course, she LOVES the make up that Aunt Bea gave her!!

She also wanted a chocolate cake with pink frosting. It didn't work out right, but she didn't care! That's what I love about kids.

Our little Naomi turned 4!! I can't believe how fast all of my girls are growing. Naomi loves pink. She is a happy little girl that loves to discover and make big messes. She can be my biggest helper! She likes to clean off the table and set it at meal time. She loves her sisters and her daddy very much!! She is a great little singer and dancer, and loves to draw and color. We love you, Naomi!! We are so blessed to have our beautiful little girl in our family!!

I LOVE SPRING!!

The past few days the weather has been so nice, and so beautiful outside. I just love the feeling Spring time gives me. I am so grateful for this beautiful earth that the Lord has created for us. We are so blessed!!

Rebekah

Rebekah is such a sweet baby! She is always so happy, and SO patient!!

I just love her so much!!

She was in a deep conversation in this picture:

Trouble....

Izzy and Nomi....need I say more?? This is one of the many adventures they have together!

Tinkerbell all tuckered out...

Natalie loves to wear dress up. She will wear it every day if she can. The other day she layed down by the fireplace and fell asleep....she looked so comfy!

Spring Break

Let's just say that it wasn't what we were expecting, but the kids still loved it!!

Happy Birthday Randy!!!

On March 6th it was Randy's birthday. His family all came over, and his mom made him his favorite "cake". It was a lot of fun! I have a bunch of number candles, but I don't have any 3's. I just picked the ones that were closest to his age. He is actually 33, but we got a good laugh out of it anyway.

These are pies that Randy's mom makes, and they are absolutely divine!! :)

A few baby pictures...

Little baby Rebekah is such a joy in our lives!! We are so blessed to have her in our home. She is such a good baby!! I absolutely love being a mom! I have all these beautiful girls that make every day an adventure...

Fun at the ranch!!

Saturday Randy went to work in Moapa, so I decided to ride down with him and go to my parent's house. Ammon and Lisa, Rachel and Richard, and Bailey and Josh were all there too! The kids all had a blast playing together.


Naomi and Bowen were best buds...

Stetsy saddled the horse and gave all the kids rides. She is such a good aunt!

Emma, Natalie, and Halle were all best buds too...

Little miss Maddie:

And Brinklee too! She had a blast with the ashes from the fire place. I guess Maddie did the same thing the day before.

We had a good time visiting with each other. I am glad we were able to go down there.

Naomi

Little Naomi is such a character! She is so full of energy, and keeps us very busy every day. She is such a joy in our lives; I don't know what we would do without her. She loves to sing and dance, and do the fun things her sisters are doing. She absolutely loves her baby sisters and can't get enough hugs and kisses from them. This is her Valentine hair-do. She loved it! I am just happy that her hair is finally long enough (again) to do something cute with it...
