Tay still loves George

I thought this was so cute. It took me back to an older picture, oh about two years ago. This just proves you can never get to old to cuddle with your stuffed pal.

Our Rides!

Check them out!
Here is Kyle's:

And here is Noah's:

Pure Rez Baseball!

How to Play:
Take any light ball, any stick, and WHACK at it the best you can!

Yeah, Mama's home!

The kids and I have created a little ritual were I give them tickle attacks when I first come home. Shawn captured one of our tickle times. I am grateful that he recorded this because I enjoy doing this (since I am gone all day long and miss them so much). Of course these are just a few of the many.

The Newest Entertainment of our Home

Okay, this is the good ol'entertainment many of us have enjoyed and since we bought a new appliance that supplied this wonderful empty box the boys naturally created their own fun with it. Tatum especially became the proudful owner of it by decorating it with many scribbles. It was a shock to him when his Dad (somewhat strict with the writing utensils) okayed him to draw on it. "Thanks Daddy!"

Brother Time!!

Our boys are sure growing and changing daily with their personalities. They sure have grown a bond amongst the three of them. Here are just a few pictures that show this new love with each other.


It's Tatum and Noah time.


It's Tatum and Kyle time.




This is pretty much what it looks like when they are watching Curious George. Don't turn that channel when it is on or you will hear the babies and their non-stop screaming. OUCH

Play time!

Here is Tatum climbing on a set of replica dinosaur bones. He loves to do this.

The First Monster Drawing

During one of the times Tatum joined me at the school, he wanted to use the dry erase markers to write on the white board. This is what he drew.



Afterward, Shawn and I asked him what it was and he said it was the green monster that goes (he sticks both his arms up into the air with hands curled and puts on a mean face) "rrrghhhh!" (crouches his body down a little and lifts his right leg up) "Like that!"

It was just cute to see him do it, but also this is the first time that he drew a whole body figure (well, at least a head with arms and legs coming out of it.) :) Kids are just so fun to watch grow up and add new skills.

A New Family Tradition

Now, that we have settled down into our new home in our new town we have been able to spend more time together as a family and do activities together. Our newest tradition is to go get ice cream after dinner down at the local gas station. Her are just some pictures we took to help us remember the time.

First boy with first black eye!

I never thought that our boys would get a black eye, but here is proof.



Kyle fell on top of one of his blankets on the floor and hit a toy that was covered under the blanket. He cried and that's all that dad thought happened to him, but we were wrong. He healed quickly though.

Ha, ha, ha!

Do these pictures remind you of anyone?




I laughed so hard when it happened!
I'm not going to say what I thought of. ;)

Pinecone hunting

This was the first time we went as a small family up into the mountains near Blanding. Since Neema Long likes pinecones we all went on a pinecone hunt. I would love to have this become an annual event, because although it was a bit cold it was super fun.

Cute faces

I love these pictures, because it just shows what boys/babies do when they experiement with dirt. The end result of being around dirt=dirt on the faces.

Dirt, Dirt, and more dirt

No, sand in the air.

Time in the Air

Both Shawn and I love to toss the boys up into the air. Lately, it has been Shawn because the boys are getting to big for me to toss anymore. The twins just love it and luckily I got some amazing pictures of Kyle going up into the air.

First take-



Take two-

Carhartt gear...

"Just what the boys needed," mommy says. And they put them to use right away by playing in them outside. Kyle playing with the ball. Tatum was preparing to climb the nearby tree.
