Seth's Decorating Tips...

Seth was so proud of his contribution to our Christmas tree this year... I kind of don't have the heart to tell him it is not an "approved method". ;)

Micah's bowtie

Micah's looking good and ready for church.

Caleb's concert

Caleb auditioned for and made it into his elementary school show choir this year, the Roaring Sensations. This year they have 92 kids! It is the biggest show choir in the school district. Here is one song from their last concert. It is a bit blurry, but the audio is still pretty good. Caleb is on the top row, on the end. (You can see how much fun he's having by all the bouncing and toe tapping he's doing!)

Micah's got a tooth!

About a week ago I noticed Micah was extra cranky and realized he had a tooth that had just ruptured through the gum. He is working on the tooth right next to the one he already has, so he is still a bit cranky. (Note to self... SELF: you should have remembered that babies don't especially like to have pictures of their emerging teeth taken- and they will bite!)

Seth is "Cheesy" ...

I love listening to Seth as he learns how to talk... and when he realizes we've got the camera on trying to record it. ;)

The Ft. Collins temple is coming along...

HALLOWEEN 2014

Kellie's Baptism and Birthday

Kellie

Unauthorized hair cut...

Levi: Why would you think I cut my hair, Mom?

General Conference Lounging

Seth has his General Conference lounge on...

Legacy Luncheon

I loved attending the Legacy Luncheon today, with both Levi and Kellie. (The Principal hosts a monthly luncheon for the students from each class who are working really hard at that month's behavior trait. This month was Active Listening.)
When Mr. Corey asked Kellie if it was easier to be a good listener at school or at home, she told him it was easier at school. 
He asked her why...
She responded that there were a lot of people at home, which made it harder. 
He said, "Now wait a minute... I'm pretty sure you have more people in your classroom than you do at home..."
Kellie's response: "Did you know I have FIVE brothers? It's noisier at home." 

Yikes! (I have a Teenager!) Aaron's 13th Birthday...

Daddy's Little Helper

Seth got his hammer to "help" daddy...

Levi, the Pig

Levi is very proud of his pig impersonation... silly boy!

Fishing for rocks...

Today Matt and my brother Jordan went fishing... 

...for rocks in our air intake for our furnace. 

Evidently the kids have witnessed little Seth dumping rocks- but didn't know they should tell us. We had to cut the pipe outside to get to the rocks and then when they realized that there even more rocks that they couldn't reach, they had to cut the pipe inside the house too. Several feet of rocks. It's a good thing Seth's cute... 

Maybe our furnace will start working and we can actually get some heat now. Not sure whether or not to be annoyed or amused. (Sigh.)

Micah is 12 weeks

The many moods of Micah...

Caleb is 10!

Levi is 5!

Levi turned 5 today!

 Caleb and Kellie made him a really sweet card. It is meant to look like a toolbox and they even made all the tools to go inside it.

 Thank you Grandma Carol and Grandpa Lane for the planes!

 Planes must have been popular this year... he got quite a few, and surprisingly, no duplicates!

 Cake!
