Where or where could my little one have gone???
Samantha is my little escape artist!! I literally have had to put a lock on my front and garage doors that can only be opened with a key. But that still only keeps her in when it's locked. Today we were getting ready to leave to go to the girls tumbling class, she was in the car and Heather was trying to find her shoes. I went in for a minute, came out and was ready to leave when Heather said "Mom, where is Samantha?" I was sooooo mad. I have talked with her a trillion times about stranger danger and the buddy system and how it totally freaks me out when she runs off, but Samantha marches to the tune of her own drum. I yelled for her, ran back in side an called for her (which some of you know, sometimes she wont even answer. which is also scary because you have no idea if she is home or not... and time is of the essence!) I drove all around the neighborhood. I came back home not able to find her and saw her walking up the street sad because she thought I left her. HOLY COW!!! So today I got on the Internet and bought a tracking system that goes on the back of her pants (so she cant take it off ). It's suppose to tell me when she is out of range (better know as when she is running off!!) I can't even tell you how frustrating it is. I am so worried for her safety and I am doing all I know how, but I still keep loosing her. I just know she has angels working over time. They all have to take shifts because it is such a full time job keeping her safe!!! I am just grateful for a Heavenly Father that is mindful of her needs as well as mine. And I pray that even when she does get away she will ALWAYS be found.

Okl, I just bought a really nice camera and I am sooooooo excited. I can take good pictures like I have always wanted. So I am going a little crazy with it. I have taken pictures of Toby before but they just didn't capture his cuteness (is that a word? lol)
I love how they come up with there poses. They are the best!
Sammie was on the back of this dinosaur and the wind was blowing her hair and it looked like she was a model with a wind machine to blow her hair. It was so funny.
After a couple of hours of jumping they had a graduation ceremony. They talked to us about what they learned this year and they gave all the kids a graduation ring, cap and a year book. They went all out.
These are there teachers Mrs. Brittany and Mrs. Anno. They love there teachers so much. There really amazing people. I am glad that we will be with them for another year. Heather moves on to kindergarten but Sammie will go back next year. I can't believe how fast time flies by. Congratulations Heather and Sammie!

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
Jace and zak got a hold of the camera and went crazy pretending to be ninjas. lol
Look at my nose!
The kids laughed a ton wile taking these pictures. Kids will always find a way to make you laugh!!
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!!!
