The Wheels on the Bus

Kody rode the bus to school for the first time today. I shed a few tears, but he loved it! waiting for the bus

Kody and his girlfriends

home again, what a day!

She Talks!

It's official, Madi is definitely my daughter! She found her voice not too long ago, and hasn't stopped talking since! It's so fun to hear her talk, I thought I'd share a little video:

Li'l Lego Champ

Our local library had a lego building contest, so we thought it would be fun for Kody to enter one of his creations in the preschool category.

He made some Transformers and a Star Wars spaceship. He was the only one to use Mega Blocks.

And he won a gold medal for "Coolest Robot" in his age group! We are so proud of him!

I Heart My Kids

I know that on my other blog I complain a little here and there about my kids, but I want you to know that I really do love each of them very much and I'm so happy they came to live with us! Today I was holding a screaming baby, with the 2 others downstairs fighting and I started to think about why I love them so much (I admit I was doing this to keep my composure). Here's what I came up with:

I love Kody Because
he has the best imagination
he tells me he loves me (and I know he means it)
he reminds me that we are an eternal family
he has a great sense of humor
he remembers everything






I love Mollie because
she can be so sweet
she likes "the boom"
she is so beautiful
she named her doll Kim
she can go from sad to happy in the blink of an eye.


I love Madeline because
she has the best smile, ever
SHE SLEEPS!
she knew I needed her
she hardly ever poops
she is super snuggly

More Fun

Here are a few more pictures of those cute little Cubs that I miss so much:ready for church (note Kody's cool 'hawk)

Little Gymnasts

Here's what the cubs have been up to with Auntie B. so far:

Mid-winter Break!

Daddy had a break from school a few weeks ago, so we took advantage and had some fun! We asked Mom & Dad if we could go to this fun placed that Auntie B took us to while she was with us. It's called the Castaway Cafe and claims to be Michigan's largest indoor play structure - we had so much fun! Daddy even climbed around with us!

A Day at the Races

We had the ward Pinewood Derby last weekend, and since there isn't a cub scout troop it was open to everyone for participation.Kody wanted his car to be Lightning McQueen. Mommy & Daddy helped him build and decorate the car,

and then he actually took 3rd place!

While the Parents are Away...

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

While Mom & Dad were off exploring Roman ruins and old buildings in Spain, we did some exploring of our own here at home! Auntie B came to stay with us, and she had a new activity for us every day! We did all kinds of fun things, and she was even nice enough to take some pictures so that we could share them with you! We had so much fun, and got very spoiled - isn't that what Aunts do when they come to visit?! Mom & Dad called us on the computer every night so we knew they still loved us, but we were having too much fun to be sad that they were gone. We only hope that they will take us with them the next time they go!
