Still in Denial--We have an 8 year old

Picture Regurgitation--the last few months

Holy Blog Neglect Batman!! We just got done celebrating Christmas on our blog. Here are a few pictures from the last few months. I posted them wrong too. The most recent are at the top (the one of Heidi below was last week) and the oldest ones are at the bottom.



The little ones love this. I have lots of pictures of all my kids sitting in this same position listening to Dad. Heidi likes to play percussion along with Dad by hitting the guitar while he is playing.

Part of Nicole's Science Fair project--I don't have a picture of her with her poster and her whole display this year. Curt was out of town for the whole week and . . . I could go on, but let's just say we were doing good to get her poster done, and all her stuff to school when it was supposed to be there.

Valentines Day

Some Valentines Day fun . . . Nicole's heart hair, SUPER yummy chocolate cookie and strawberry ice cream sandwiches, some heart garland, layered jello hearts (Thanks Sabrina for the idea and the molds) and some of the kids' Valentines this year.

I woke up to this one morning in my room

Ryan's been drawing lots of family portraits lately. (I paid him to draw me skinny like that, and yes Curt's head is that big.)

Nicole and Brynne at Brynne's Baptism in February. They sang "When I am Baptized" together for a special musical number.
