Family Photo Shoot

We've needed a new family for awhile and we finally got a round to doing it. Getting a family photo taken especially with Bryce, and it being at night, was no easy task. For most of the photos we were pinning Bryce down and Kelsey did at times look as if she might doze at any moment but aside from all that, they turned out really nice and maybe we can finally put a new family photo on the wall. 
Here are a few of my favorites!




















Happenings in May

For Mother's Day I got breakfast in bed. Jackson made his World famous, okay maybe it's only famous at our house, but at any rate he made me a bowl of his oatmeal. 
 I hadn't had a picture taken of me with all four of the kids so we snapped a few before church. Love these kiddos.
 The day after Mother's Day I got to join Jocey at the annual Mother's Day Tea.
Jackson played baseball this year. His team was the Rockies. 
They got rained out a lot but he had fun playing in the games that weren't. 


 Favorite picture of the season. 
 Here are the preschool co-op girls. They are like sisters and Kelsey 
is going to miss spending so much time with them, 
 Elly, Kelsey and Maren
 We got front row tickets to another Iron Pigs game. 
Couldn't miss out on that opportunity. 


 Every year the elementary school has a fun run. 
The kindergartners run 1/2 mile. We encouraged Jocey
 to not stop running during the race and to complete 
the whole thing. She did a wonderful job at doing both. 
 Here are Jocey's three little best friends from her class this year. 
I am not kidding when I say little because they were on the smaller 
size in the class and Jocelyn was on the exact opposite side of things. 
We just measured her and she is a little over 49 inches 
tall. She had grown about 1 1/2 inches since Christmas. 
 The first graders had to run 3/4 a mile. They ran the
 competitive run and then the fun run. 

 Jackson placed in the top ten for the competitive and 
1st by about 100 yards in the fun run. The kid likes to run. 

Easter 2012

Dying Easter eggs and some hands.  




Wearing their Easter best.
We didn't really go for a matching color scheme this year.
