A round of "firsts"...

Everyone is getting big too fast...

Josh...priesthood, first time to pass the sacrament, first YM activity, first lawn job, first time to babysit, first time to teach a YM lesson...

Hy just finished his second pinewood derby with a 2nd place...next stop, Weeblos...

This little guy does not believe he is little. He wants training wheels on a real bike and he really likes to express his feelings :)

And let us not get started on this one...her first food, her first time sleeping through the night, her first rolls from front to back and back to front (she's a rolling machine), sitting up, her first experience with the jewelry section of the store (she loved it :). Again, I have been in tears this week putting up her smaller clothes...why do they have to get big??

A sweet story...

Well, this picture sequence may not be quite as cool as the last post but fortunately the subject is just as cute...

A Sammer Sequence

*I love this picture

FHE

BYU Conf Center for the science fair, BYU Creamery for the treat, and the giant hill at the BYU Conference Center for the fun...

Batter Splatter

Making Jdog's cake and the beater slipped...

Some were happier about the splatter...

Three Rocks

The three rocks are pretty much an institution in our house and a premiere walk destination.

Eating grass...a right of passage...

Vitamin D

It has been a nice winter but spring is on the way. Although we've had a few nice days the last 2 months, today was extra beautiful. So...we had a impromptu picnic and soaked up our vitamin D! Plus my camera was not out of batteries like I thought so here you go...

Hy climbs...

Stella, the cutest one year old on the planet...

Dallan as "spider"

Lizzy Beth loves being outside...

Paula led the way up the dirt mountain...

Ultimate...

Seth in cattail seeds...

Finishing up...

Hair

Beppy sometimes has some fun hair. It is especially bad when John combs it because he thinks it is great to stick it standing straight up but unfortunately you have to totally dunk her hair again to fix it. This night John had combed it the wrong way. Then I was flipping her on the bed and the static was creating extra special hair...

I call this one, "The 70's were bad for everyone."

And this one, "Teenage angst" because it looks like that crazy way all the teenage boys like to do their hair.

3 kiddos fasting + 3 more kiddos + church + talk in RS + NO daddy = mildly easy day

For your viewing pleasure, a little taste of how Bep likes to listen to music...little Bep is a huge Bach fan!! John isn't just making that up to make himself feel good, she loves it. However, she is also a big alphaville fan so...she has refined taste :)

Swoon...

Our little bippity Beppity boo...

Sorry for the picture overload but really...how could I resist with these sitting on my camera and don't pretend she isn't one of the absolute cutest things you have ever seen. Plus grandmas really like picture overloads :)

Science pays...

Well, it is a sad/happy day when Josh has made more money on his original research than his biochemist father has made on his original research. The district handed out cash prizes for awards!! Josh was pretty excited...

Explaining his project to Gpa...

Seth...being him...

Sam standing in front of my old locker. I can't remember exactly which one it was but it is one of them right around him...different color now. It is always strange going back to your high school...at least I can see they got rid of stud wall :)
