I have been so busy lately...but I wanted to post this picture of us with ALL the grandkids on Isaac's blessing day. Seems nearly impossible to get everyone looking at the same place at the same time...Aren't they a beautiful bunch?
And of course we had to get a goofy pose......
We did some big group pictures at the church with LaDena's camera.... I'm sure Jenny will post as soon as she gets them.

It's About Time!!

On our trip to Utah over spring break Jenny and I walked to the park with the kids while the the men went to General Conference Priesthood meeting. It was a beautiful evening....Sadie had so much fun and so did Grandma!!She quickly made a little friend and had fun going down the slides.....

Jenny and Isaac got in on the fun...Isaac really liked swinging (well at least I can say he did...I think he was sleeping)

One night Logan looked behind the couch and there was Sadie sitting in a pot on the kitchen floor....I quickly handed him the camera so he could shoot this picture.


This was a recurring pose....Josh pacing the floor with Isaac...he had "the touch" at calming Isaac down.



Sadie loves shoes....especially uncle Josh's BIG ones.


Can you tell which ones are Sadies Mommy's shoes??

Stay tuned for more of our adventure....and the special blessing day of baby Isaac!

Christmas (Part 3)

WE had a wonderful Christmas season...it went by way to fast!! I've broken it up into 3 parts, though it isn't in any particular order. It started with Josh picking out and cutting down our tree in early December....we tell the kids this is our last trip to Thorntons, but you never know.....
At least the ground was dry......
Really now....texting?? Okay...in his defense, he was texting Richard who was meeting us there with the truck after he got off work.
Christmas morning before church.....
Here we all are after the festivities and a yummy ham dinner.....
Sadie was adorable opening presents...see the Christmas bags I decorated?
Jon is now a Cardinals fan....but he's still true to the Mariners.....
Josh opening a present...wondering what it is.....
.....tickets to see The Mythbusters in person when they come to Portland next month. He is a HUGE fan!
Jon and his girlfriend...yes I said it....Brittany...while we played games.
My beautiful girl....it was a bit of a challenge bending down to wrap presents.....
Good thing we kept some of our baby toys....they have really come in handy. Grandpa playing with Sadie:)
My favorite time snuggling with Sadie....although she was sick at the time....she was a little cuddle bug!

Christmas (Part 2)

We had a grand time going to see Santa at the mall....going to Zoo lights at the Oregon Zoo....and playing games at home. Sadie was our entertainment most of the time.It was a pretty cold night and there were alot of lines at the zoo....Sadie was a trooper! She loved all the lights!
Daddy was her main man that night....she wouldn't go to anybody but daddy....that's okay...he's a pretty great guy!!
It was Uncle Jon's first time at Zoo Lights too!
We have these wooden soldiers I painted years ago....Sadie kept trying to kiss them. They were just her size:)
Sadie was Grandmas helper when we played games....
It was good to see the boys together again....bantering back and forth as usual ha ha!!
Peek a boo with Grandma...Sadie is such a cut up!
Playing blocks with Uncle Josh....these blocks have been around a LONG time....they're from Great Grandma Drew's house.
