Cooking Lesson!

Pete gave the kids a lesson on how to make waffles! They were very serious students, and were intrigued by everything Pete was doing. And they all had to have a turn helping!

Zach & Elora's conversation while waiting for the waffles to cook;

Zach: "Dad, look at Elora's bottom and look at my bottom."

Elora: "Mine is way bigger then Zach's!"

At this point I'm busting up in the other room (I can't see them, I can only hear them).

Pete was laughing too, but he could see that they were talking about their little pumpkins that are sitting on the counter.

After dinner I tried to take a pic of Xanders cute smile, but this was as close as I got. It is a cute little smile, but it's nothing compared to his big open mouth smile!

Happy B-Day Danika!

Danika is 3 yrs old now!
She got an Octopus for her b-day! Everyone had to "try" it on!

Danika also got stitches for her b-day. This actually happened the day before her party. She walked into a sheet of metal that was laying on the ground and it sliced right through all her layers of skin. So Pete took her to the hospital to get stitched up. She is the first one to get stitches out of all our kids!

She has a nice white bandage mark. If you think this is gross you should be thankful that I didn't think of taking a picture of it before the stitches! hehe!

Umm, are those My kids!?

Xander is 6 weeks old now! Danika loves him sooo much (too much sometimes)!

I know everyone's fighting the urge to yawn!!

He's just a little cross-eyed in this pic.

Yesterday Xander started smiling at us(on purpose)! So now all Elora and Danika want to do is try to make him smile! It's so funny to watch them.

Emery's Baptism

We went to Emery's baptism this last weekend. She wanted to hold Xander so bad! He wasn't so excited about it.

Fun Times!

My Mom & Amy came to visit and meet the newest addition to our family(Alexander).

I had so much fun while they were here!

We went up to Mt. St. Helens and hiked around. It was so beautiful!
Danika found this rock and decided it was a good stage, so she was singing away! You can see part of the Mt. behind her.

We also went to the Lewis & Clark state park and hiked around.

First Day of School!

Elora started Kindergarten today and Zach started 2nd grade!

Elora was soooooooo excited! She has been counting down the days since last week and she couldn't sleep last night. I think she was just as excited about using her new Tinkerbell lunch bag as she was about starting school though.

And proud sister Danika had to be in the picture too!
