Blinkie thing at the bottom.

Hey Di, I thought of you when I saw the Twilight thing and I just had to include it!

Our Tay-Tay

Tayler is growing up way too quickly. She sure is a doll. I can't believe that she will be in 7th grade next year! She has not decided yet what she wants to be when she grows up but we are sure that she will be the boss. She is practices her bossing skills every day!

Family pictures with Elly

For some reason, this is one of my favorites with Lowell looking at Lucas.

My friend Candi called this one our "Jon and Kate plus 8" picture. Mom said there was too much barn. I cut a little of the barn out for you mom!

I love you Elly! www.ellybryantphotography.com

My sweet family

My favorite boys! Aren't they cute??

Sariah to mom,"Some day's they are so cute, I could just eat them up. Then other days...I wish I had."

I think we had to make booger references or something to get Tayler to crack up. I just love it when she crinkles up her nose.

I am bummed that we didn't get Lowell with all the kids. "Elly, we need a re-do!"

Lots of Lucas!

Man, with a haircut and a clean shirt, he sure is handsome! Poor guy, I kept telling him to show his teeth when he smiled. Then when it came time to pick my favorites, take note of how often you see his teeth!

Kelsey's Pictures with Elly

I am going to try to post some pictures from our photo shoot with Elly. We went up to Exeter to her Grandma's ranch. We had so much fun. There are sooo many pictures to go through! This may take a while to get some up here. (Plus it is waaaay past my bed time!) Anyway, Here goes Kelsey!

Getting ready for bed

Here are the kids tonight. I told Tayler I loved this picture and she said she was going to delete it. I had to hurry and get it on the computer before it was too late!! You snooze, you loose baby!

Typical Lucas here, dirty and sprawled out on the floor. At least I got a smile out of him and I only had to take it 3 times!

Kelsey had a "bath and a movie" night. We put the portable TV on the counter and turned on Nemo while she soaked. She enjoyed it until her water turned cold! Notice how it is winter and she still has a tan! No fair says the pale faced momma!

New Baby

Here is the best I can give you on the newest baby. We were watching TV and I thought this was a sweet picture of him and Lowell.

Christmas Morning

I love those Christmas morning - barely awake pictures! Notice that there are none of me!

Before Christmas

Here are the kids working on their Christmas cookies. Man were they yummy!!

January Update

Well, I guess it is obvious that I am terrible at keeping anyone updates on our crazy lives! It has been a busy January so far. We had a great time in Tahoe and did not freeze. I just knew I was going to fall victim to the icy driveway and break something but that did not even happen. See, miracles are around us every day! The kids had great fun playing all around the condo; there was plenty of snow on the ground for us. I think somewhere around 4 feet or so. Their Uncle Kevin made a sledding ramp off of the back porch at his house and the kids had a lot of fun on that. It was cute watching Jordan and Noah slide down that too.

Kelsey went back to regular school after Christmas break and it has been a difficult adjustment. She has a wonderful teacher so we are hoping that things will start to look up for her and that she can adjust. My poor baby. I wish I knew how to fix her fears. She has such a hard time going, and then a hard time when Lucas drops her off at her class. But after she calms down (it takes 30 min. to 1 hour I hear) she enjoys the day and always comes home happy. I am sure by the end of the school year, her and the principal will be good buddies ; -) We did have one good day this week, and it took us by surprise. We are encouraged by it so hopefully next week we will see more progress.

We have a new foster baby and we think he is pretty great. He is 4 weeks and has blond curly hair. In my book that means he is cute stuff! He does not cry too much and is pretty content to suck away on his pacifier. Yep, he is a keeper!
