Ok, I think this is really funny! I gave Toby a bath and he hates baths. He tries to get away any second he thinks he can. He is getting better but I don't think he will ever really love them. It is so funny when he gets wet. he is half his size and he looks so different than he does when he is dry.









I took a few pictures of him after the fact. He hates being wet and he shakes like he is scared to death. He isn't but that is what it looks like. Don says he looks like a drown rat. LOL he kind of does.





Something happens when I turn on the blow drier though, He turns into a crazed lunatic. The first little wile he hides his head, but soon he starts freaking out biting at the air. It is hard to brush him when he gets like that but it is really funny. It drives him nuts to get blown in the face but I have to to dry him off. I probably would do it anyway even if I didn't have to because it is just to funny. My last dog Candy was so mean she would bite me when I would give her a bath. So it is really nice to have a sweet dog who has never bitten or growled at anyone ever! I love my sweet little Toby!

Ok, this is a tribute to Jace! For those who don't know him what you see is what you get. He is a clown. You rarely get a picture of him without him pulling some face or doing something funny. If I want a serious picture I have to ask him to just smile please!! But he will only accommodate me sometimes. So I take it knowing he is going to laugh at himself someday. And no matter what, I love the picture. I love his fun loving nature.

Jace loves movies, Baukugauns (a small ball toy that opens up when the magnate on the bottom comes in contact with metal. They come from a game but all the kids his age just collect them and trade) He loves to cuddle with me and loooooves to be tucked in by mom at night. He wont go to sleep otherwise. He had his two front teeth pulled out 3 years ago and is finally getting the back. He is excited because now he can eat hambergers with the pickle in it. His favorite collor is red and he loves body parts. We think he will be a doctor someday if he can get over getting grossed out over blood. Which is funny because drawing pictures of gory things is his favorite thing to do. But if he watches the medical chanel with Zachary he will cover his eyes.


Jace loves to read and learn. He is so good at being a big brother and even a little one. We were riding in the car once and Zak fell asleep Jace put his hand under his head and held it up so he would be comfortable. Sooooooo cute! It's one of those moments that you just love being a parent. He loves playing with the girls and it is fun to see what they come up with. The girls play barbie and Jace will play with his action figures and they mix girl play with boy play. The barbies get shot and the action figures help fix the barbies. It's really intertaining. Jace will be 7 on April 9th and has told me for a year every night what he is getting for his birthday. I just love his emagination. Jace loooooooves motorcycles and cool cars. He is the first to notice them and says "someday I will have one mom!!" I don't doubt that he will. Last summer we were driving down the road with our windows down and a motorcycle was parked next to it. He was so excited and started talking to the guy next to us and telling him that he loved his bike. The light turned green and he was off Jace said with a kind of admaration that was so supprising to me "Mom I just love that sound" I am so greatful to be his Mom. I love you Jace!!

Aunt Heather and little Heather after her recital.

Heather dancing to it's a marshmellow world.

Heather was sooooo brave. She is a bit shy and I was wondering if she would dance or not, but she was awsome!! She did the whole thing perfect!! She was so proud of herself.

Heather may be a little shy but put her in front of a camera with her sister or alone and you will get the most amazing poses!!

I can't wait to see there next costumes and watch them dance again. I don't remember having more fun!

Samantha dancing suzie snow flake.

Samantha danced basically all by her self. She was by far the most excited to be the center of attention. like zak, she will half listen and get it all. In class she looses herself in the mirror so I wondered how much she was listening to. But apparently she was getting it ALL.

You can kindof see on the side that the other girls were watching her dance. She stole the show!!

Kids will be kids

Kids will be kids
Jace and zak got a hold of the camera and went crazy pretending to be ninjas. lol

Our little baby girl!

Our little baby girl!
I first saw mango about 6 months ago. When I saw here I just new she would make a fun addition to our family. She loves to squawk loudly if she is feeling ignored. The kids love to rub her and try to get her to talk. She dosen't talk but she will scream just like our girls, wich is really funny.

she loves to kiss!!!

Aren't they all sooooooo cute! Where is Sammie?

Oh, there she is!!!
