Walking!

Travis has learned that walking is fun. He spends his days walking up and down the hallways following me and the kids around the house. He is so proud of his new found talent. He makes sure you are there to clap for him while he is walking. He giggles most of the time when he laughs. He put his arms up when he walks. We think he looks like frakenstien. His granny says we should call him frank. Lets not forget to mention his 'helper' that is always there to make sure he is doing it right. I think he will be running by next week.

Family Pictures

We took family pictures up on Diamond where we use to go camping every summer as kids. My grandma and grandpa were there along with all of their children grandchildren and great grandchildren. It was fun to go and get pictures with everybody. I will have to post more pictures of the group shots when I get them. Here are a few that I have for now.

Peaches!

We went to an orchard in Neola and picked peaches to can. The kids had fun. Reagan said "mom I didn't know it was so much work to get the peaches in the jar" It was a good learning experience.

AFTER

Potty Training

I thought that it was finally time to potty train Trevor. While we were in South Dakota he was showing some interest. So when we got home I thought we could give it a try. After 3 days of staying home and me trying to be dedicated to the process. I walked into the room to find him putting his diaper on himself. He had had enough. He said "me diaper back on" Okay I guess we can try later!

By the way we had a great time in South Dakota. We drove and took our campers on a road trip for 9 days with my 2 aunts and uncles and some of my cousins. I will post pictures soon!

It's a good thing...

It's a good thing there are moments like these...

To make moments like these....worth it!

There is NEVER a dull moment around here, boxes (yes I said boxes) of cerial, knives (yes they are put up higher now), movies, playdough, any thing you can think of to make a mess out of, my kids figure out how. For those of you that are thinking where is the mother when all of this is going on. Well the laundry and house has to be cleaned somtime my eyes can't ALWAYS be on all 3 of them!

Tired

Trevor: He is starting to think that he is much to big for naps. He just couldn't quite make it this day. He fell asleep right in the middle of Reagans toys.

Travis: This poor little guy was fussing one minute and the next he was quiet. I was trying to hurry and put in a load of laundry before I put him down for a nap and by the time I was finished he had fallen asleep.

Reagan: She is a night owl. She fights going to sleep just about every night. She usually falls asleep with a book over her face. At least she is keeping up on her scripture reading :)

Perfection

Here is some shots from an attempt to get the 'perfect picture' of my children. Okay I realize that it is not going to happen so I tried to make the best of it. These pictures remind me that we are not perfect and that's okay. I can try my best and wake up tomorrow to try harder!

"Try a little harder to be a little better" Gordon B. Hinkley

I am so thankful for this time in my life right now. Someday I will go through the day without getting boogers and ketchup all over me. But for now I wouldn't have it anyother way.

I am so thankful for my life, just the way it is! Besides perfection would be boring don't you think?
