January

Grandpa Carlos turned 91!  I love that everyone is actually looking at the camera, even Tippy was ready!
My little fashionistas.  Casey was going to the grocery store one day and the girls wanted to go with.  I was pretty hesitant to let them out the door looking quite so fabulous, but decided it didn't matter in the long run.  Taylor was getting her shoes on and could only find one.  I told her to just wear 2 different shoes.  She glared at me and said, "Come on mom.  I don't want people to think that I'm crazy."
I helped Caleb craft one Sunday afternoon.  He was quite frustrated while putting it together (muttering to himself, throwing his hands in the air, putting his head in his hands) but LOVED the end result!  My kids get so frustrated when they can't do something the first time.  Is it the 'instant gratification' world that they are already accustomed to?  Practice makes perfect...and sometimes you'll be practicing the same things over and over and over again and continue to learn!  I hope that they can realize this sooner rather than later.
I took my babies to Walmart one day and had to take their picture.  I love them.  I'm going to miss them when they start preschool this coming fall!
Griffen got a weekend job - so he has some extra time during the week.  He picked up old grist mill one afternoon and brought it over for lunchie.  Mother & son were taking little videos and pictures with their Starbucks.  They are addicted.
Casey loves camouflage and Mountain Dew.  Addiction at it's finest I guess.  And he is quite the selfie taker sometimes.
What??  A picture with sleeping little people??!!  That is so out of character for me.
We got Jenga for Christmas.  We've had some pretty intense games!
I always end up losing though.  One afternoon Brad & Mona were watching Casey & I play and Brad had to walk away because it was giving him to much anxiety.  It was funny.
My ladies had their winter recital.  They are all so fun to watch for so many different reasons.

Did I tell you mom had me find that picture on facebook and send it to her. She showed it to me on Thursday and told me she just loves this picute!
I love the wee littles pictures. They are so sweet! I love the joy on Caleb's face when he's done with his project. Rick would throw Jenga. We got a big chess set for Christmas and I keep beating Rick. Now he says it's to hard to concentrate and he doesn't want to play.
The dance picture is so cute. I wish I would of put Amber in dance. Hind sight... I wonder why I didn't?? Oh well.
Good job on another great blog!!

It is amazing that everyone is looking a the camera. Even the dumb dog! It would have been difficult for me to let the girls go to town in their fabulous outfits, but you're right. What difference does it make in the long run. Funny what Taylor said. :D I can just imagine Caleb's frustration doing that craft. Oh man! I love love how satisfied he is with the result. I hope he learned a little lesson. I love those littles. Such cute pictures. You will miss them terribly. :( They didn't stay little for very long. Jenga would drive me NUTS! Cute dance pic. You are so right - they are all so fun to watch for so many different reasons. I love the joy these kids bring me. Cute blog!
