Sandbox...the new hit!

We have some boxes in our backyard. I think they may be for gardening or something...but we all know that will never ever happen, so I had Rob fill one with Sand! Yeah...happy dirty kids!!! Playgroup was so fun today, the girls spent 45 minutes playing out here!

Isnt it sad that this was after I had wiped her nose...like seconds after, and look at it!

Someone was happy to be outside! I think tree branches and a blanket is the best play gym!

Sleeping Beauty...

Well we are at a solid 7 hours between feedings at night! She goes straight back to sleep after so i dont mind a bit!
She has been sleeping through movies at the theater the past couple nights...Thank you Jane!

Robbie's Pirate Party

Finally, after months of getting him ready for it...we had his pirate party!!! I think he had so much fun, and I have to admit I am kind of glad it's over! for complete party details and pictures click here

elle loved it too...and had to be just as much a part of the party as anyone else!


Rob worked very hard on the cake...and look how cool it turned out! I baked 4 sheet cakes and he cut them all apart and put it into a boat shape...He did the entire thing!

Here are most of the kids in most of their gear!

Taking turns with Janie

Dress ups with Ellie

I LOVE to see Ellie when we come in town. This time was extra special because she taught Robbie how to play dress ups!

As you can see...he needs some practice!

I love these girls! It was so fun to get together, even for a little bit with ALL of our kids! by the way, I cant believe I put this picture up..yes, I really did look this bad that day! AHHHH!

Jungle Jims

On Robbie's birthday, since we were still in Utah, we went to Jungle Jims for a couple of hours.

Elle loved it and played happily by herself the whole time! She was not afraid of anything!

Beckham came to play with Robbie...they had a great time!

Grandpa & Dorothy with kids

Grandpa & Dorothy came to see the new baby. I think Elle really loved Dorothy's pink pants!
