Misc. Pics

The last few nights Dandin and Ryland have fallen asleep together. It is cute to see them spend time together reading books and being pals.

Linnea is getting so big. She is rolling around everywhere. Got to love the chubbs.

Linnea's first time eating baby rice cereal. She liked it and is already a pro.

Fun In Phoenix

While we were in Phoenix we went swimming
at Joe and Ashley's club house. The kids loved it.

Linnea all cozy after getting out of the swimming pool.
It was her first time. She loved it.

Beautiful Tasia!

Dandin loves Daddy to put him up in the air.
It is his favorite thing in water and out.

Our cute family.

While in Phoenix we went to a place called Bounce Jungle. The kids loved it. It had all sorts of slides, tunnels, climbing and bounce things.

Ashley and her friend and their kids came with us. It was a lot of fun.

We also brought my nephew Anson with us. He really liked it to.

Even Linnea had fun!

Ryland, Anson, Dandin, Ethan, and Tasia.

Daddy holding his precious Linnea.

For those of you who don't know, Jeff has been working in Phoenix for the last couple of months and commuting every other weekend. He was supposed to come home for the weekend, but he ended up throwing his back out. So I took the kids down to visit him. Luckily it was the kids spring break. The whole week we were there, Jeff was on his back. The kids enjoyed cuddling and watching movies with Daddy and just spending time with him. They miss daddy lots.

Dandin loves to color.

Handsome Ryland

What a beautiful smile.

Linnea is such a happy baby. Always smiling.

Cute Pics

The kids had fun playing at the park by Aunt Kristin's house in Phoenix.
This is her cute son Anson.

Aunt Kristin and Linnea.

Linnea has found her thumb again. She lost it for a few weeks,
but she is back at it. She also loves to suck on blankets. It is so cute.

Having fun on a truck!

Handsome boy!

Linnea loves this toy. It is fun watching her try to
get all of the toys. She is growing up to fast.

Mini Jeff. I can't believe how much he looks like his daddy.

Ry absolutely loves to wear his pj's everywhere and all of the time.

Tasia is looking so grown up. She loves using the desk daddy made.

Little Princess. She loves her daddy.

Phoenix Zoo

This last Weekend we went down to Phoenix to visit Jeff while he worked. We decided to take the kids to the zoo. They loved it. It was fun to see what animals they liked. The Tiger scared Dandin, but he loved petting the goats. Ryland liked the Meerkats, and Tasia liked the Giraffes.

Sorry about the word proof throughout the picture. That is the only way to
get it, unless I wanted to pay a fortune on the pictures.

Christmas Morning 2008

Christmas morning our kids woke up at six and were very excited to open their presents. Ryland was the first to wake us up. He was so excited, he kept yelling "Santa came, Santa came." It was fun to watch the kids get excited about their presents. I love this picture, the kids are all waiting patiently. That is probably the only time they sat quietly.

Our little princess Linnea

A couple of days before Christmas, Ryland informed us that he wanted Santa to bring him his very own camping tent. Thank goodness Santa had time to add it to his list of presents. Ry absolutely loves it.

Tasia and Ryland had fun playing and taking a nap in the tent. Thanks Aunt Sara and Uncle Eric for the pj's. They love them. That is all the Ryland wants to wear now. All day, every day. It is like pulling teeth to get him in anything else. The pj's remind me of Dr. Suess.

Here's mini Jeff (Dandin). I can't believe how much he looks like Daddy. I loved to see the excitment on his face when he would open his presents. This age is so precious.

Tasia's special present from Santa. Her own drawing desk. She loves to draw and color, so Santa
(aka daddy) built a beautiful desk for her. He did an awesome job on it.

This is the boys special present from Santa (aka Daddy). He also built the rocking horse. For never building anything before, Jeff did great. They look very professional. He could sell the rocking horse.

Christmas Eve 2008

Baby Linnea is always smiling!

My smile here is from Dandin........ We were playing BINGO and he would eat the pieces when I wasn't looking!!!

We had some members of the ward build this for us!!! WOW!!! They did such a great job!

She fights everyday to get that thumb and....oh....oh....oh....she got it. Mmmmm that's good!

Here we all dressed up to tell the story of Christmas and baby Jesus. The kids love to dress up!
