Babylicious!

At the drive in movie Lily was in such a fun mood.  Every time I pointed the camera at her, she posed it up!  I had to take advantage of the situation.  Here are my favorites.  I probably should have made these into a collage, but I like big pictures. Please excuse the juice face.


This girl Loves to be silly,


Being part of our family,





DANCING,
 has the softest skin (like Tanner),


 gives great kisses, and nosies,


talking and laughing,

 being VERY busy, (This is the "What, you didn't want me to that naughty thing I just did?" look.  I see it often.)


and making faces. This is one of my favorite silly faces she makes, second only to the fishy face.

I can't believe she isn't going to be my "baby" much longer.  She is growing up more all the time...what a shame! I wish my kids would quit doing that.

All in a Row

It just happened that way (okay, we added Lily in for the picture).  Aren't they cute?

Mom, will you take my picture?

Why sure little one!

Grandparents

My parents stopped by for a visit the other day and it was so great!  I love the quality time that they spend with our kids when it is just us and them.  They played Uno and Caraboo with the kids and after a short field trip to the garden, my dad and Eden colored together.  It was so fun.  Thanks for visiting M&P, come again REALLY soon!

Having 4 daughters, my dad has always loved kisses on the cheek from his girls and now his grand daughters.

Cute Daddy Moment

10 Second photo shoot

Well I didn't really even get 10 seconds.  I thought the girls looked so cute and matchy today. I tried anyway. Not what I had in mind, but they are still cute.

Spiderman

Tanner is quite a fan of Peter Parker these days. He loves to watch a cartoon called Spectacular Spiderman on Netflix.  He adopted these 3T pajamas from Carter which are way to small, but he loves them.  In fact he wears them ALL the time.  The only time I can get them off of him is when we are going somewhere or when they  are peed in need washed. One day when they were being washed, Tanner opted to wear Spiderman swim trunks instead.  Tanner is an expert web thrower with accompanying sound affects.  He loves to find any kind of string to make it even better. Slinkies work great too.  He makes his own action figures out of duplos every day and we almost have him convinced that Peter might actually be Peter Parker in real life, ha ha.

Sugar Baby

If I am not quick to clean up after an oatmeal breakfast, my expert climber will be there to discover the sugar shaker and dump the whole thing out.

And have a great time.


And a tasty time too.





But who could be mad at a cute little girl baby that just happened to be wearing a cute bow and who makes the most delicious fishy faces.

Oregon Marionberry Jam

This is what happens when one of your children makes themselves a PB&J and leaves everything out ON THE FLOOR! She was jammed up to her elbows!

And a little earlier that day I opened the fridge only to be surprised by an 18 count container of eggs fall out of the fridge onto the floor.  There were only a couple of survivors. Another little one had just gotten into the fridge and moved things around just right for the next person (me) to be greeted by falling eggs.

Guilty!

He's guilty.  I can see it on his face!

Family Photos

We had actual, real, professional family pictures taken for the first time ever!  Jen is just amazing considering what she had to work with.  You would think these kids were being cooperative or something!  Well a couple were maybe.  I was so nervous about everything but  I love how they turned out

 I had a major crush on Tanner's cuteness that day.

Dallin was working so hard to be good because we told them they could go to Safari Sam's afterward, with a big IF attached to it.   He is just so hard to get a natural smile, but she got some good ones.  And he earned his reward.

 Kinda sums up our life right here.  This is a "never forget" kind of picture for me. It is perfect:

Lily was so hyper when it was her turn.  She was having so much fun pulling up grass and getting muddy, but she was very happy: 

I could just pinch those little elbow dimples!

Seriously, I could die over this kid. He has my heart.

I don't think I have a favorite, but this one makes me go "awwwwe!" every time I see it:

I can't wait to get these printed and framed so I can feel all happy inside every time I look at them!

Angel Baby

So glad to have my camera back to life.  Yay!

(Lucy took this one!)

My Boys

These silly little guys are so cute.  They all have almost the exact same eye color and hair color. I can take credit for the eye color.  Everything else is all Peter.

I especially love how this little monkey's hair curls up around his hat! I can take credit for that too.

I can't wait for these little guys to ripen.  We have had some successes and some failures with our first garden this year, but this is what it all comes down to for me.  It is a totally different food than you can buy in a grocery story.  There is nothing like a fresh garden tomato.

Early Morning Snuggle

This was the last thing Dallin did before going to school the other day.  He sure loves his baby.

A little wrestling action

When I saw this going on, I had to grab my camera.

The hair is priceless

Body Slam!








Stick in mouth.  Can you feel the love?
