A day late...

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the person I love more than anything! You are off the wall and that makes me laugh. You are sarcastic which I find amusing. You are a good man, honest and very trustworthy. Love you, Babe! Happy 32!


Chris as a baby

Stuck on the potty

Look how cute he was!

So wholesome...

Always loved football...

Sporting the flat-top

There are no words. Caleb insisted I add this saying, "This is the FUNNIEST picture of dad that I have ever seen. No, it's the funniest picture out of anyone that I've ever seen!"

Chris's butt...love it.

Chris tormenting my kitties. I love this picture. When I think of Chris, I think of the person in this picture. (look at Maizy's ears)

Ahh, true love!

Funny kids

In October, Jonah was pondering life as he often does and said in a thoughtful way, "Mom, I think I know what a boy witch is called. A Bitch."

Saturday we were at Target and passed a man wearing a Utah Utes shirt. I pointed it out to Abram and he said, "Uh-oh, Utah Utes...", then he leaned into Chris and whispered, "He must be a bad guy."

Flashback Friday

One of my favorite pictures...


This is Isabelle at almost exactly the same age as Clara. They kind of look alike, don't they? Oh, how I wish I still had those pants for little Clara to wear!

Sneaky!

So this happens on a daily basis. She parks herself in front of the shelf for a good half hour at a time. In fact, quite often she just climbs INTO the bottom shelf and makes herself cozy. It makes Clara very happy, so I must admit that I usually a turn a blind eye to cereal sneaking.

Sharing with the dog (naughty, naughty)...


Could she have possibly fit more in that mouth of hers?!

Flashback Friday

So I'm flashing-back about two weeks :) This picture makes me smile.

Halloween

I think the kids had a blast trick-or-treating with their cousins!! Here the kids are in all their glory. I am sad to say that after this year the doggy costume (Abram) will be laid to rest. Every single boy in our family has been the dog, and a few of them twice! We certainly got our $20 out of it, eh? Poor Abram will never be anything cool or new. Not with all the Halloween hand-me-downs I've got stashed away.


Oh, how original of Caleb, right? Well, he thoroughly enjoyed trick-or-treating for nearly THREE hours with one of his best friends from school and his best friend cousin. He got home, ate two pieces of candy, and immediately threw up. It was his turn with the flu. I'd say he timed that pretty perfectly.


My princess wanted to try a witch this year. I guess that means she's growing up.



Jonah...yes, we've all seen this costume a time or two, too! I think Caleb has been our phantom for the past three years or something.



Eli finally grew into the skeleton costume. Last year we tried it and it was HUGE on him. THis boy LOOOVED trick-or-treating. He couldn't get enough! Chris brought all of the other kids home, but took Eli and Belle out on their own to keep ravaging the neighborhood.


Abram...the dog. Cute as ever.


Clara...this is what ISabelle was when she was Clara's age. EIGHT years ago, can you believe that?!

idog saves the day

So my blogging hiatus was not of my choice. The blasted dog chewed through my camera cord...and what's a blog entry with no cute photos? Well, come to find out the little cord that came with our i-dogs works perfectly with my camera. Who knew?!
