The big 1!

Isaac is 3!

Whoa! Can our oldest baby be 3 already??! Here are pictures from our last four October 19th's! Isaac it's been a great 3 years, we can't wait for more...We love you Little Bit!

An Actual Lawn!

So we've been living with a big dirt patch/dust bowl all summer...aaaugh! But we finally got sod! Hallelujah for instant lawn, we love it!

Tater's First Four Months...

Oh our little baby dog is growing up! Haha. Not big enough to not still do acrobatics and still get through the fence though...Here are some pictures for Auntie Sarah again...she has a special interest since she's the one who so strongly influenced me to "just go look at the puppies!" when she was here last ;) Way to go Sarah, we love our doggie!

A short moment of stillness/not getting into something...note the word short
"Do you want me to type?"
Ever helpful with projects
Go Tater!
This is actually Tuley's bed but Tater decided he needed the room to sprawl...

I LOVE paint!

Last week was a painting week! Hallelujah for the stuff, where would I be without it??!!My beat-up 3 dollar nightstand that I bought at a yard sale this weekend...
now our DVD/stereo cabinet!
The tacky 70's rocking chair ($20 yard sale find!) into...
shiny white cuteness for the nursery at church!
And my favorite...our tacky, cracked, dirty, Wal-mart vinyl tile in our mud room into...
cheerful black-and-cream-look-like-new floors! Woo-hoo for paint! But now I'm sick of painting...

Partain-Haechrel FUN FUN FUN!

Brooke and Chris and the kiddos came for Labor Day and we had a blast! Thanks for a great visit you guys!Drew and Sy try to stay out of the way of the other 3 wild things...
Me and Mitchy...every morning he'd come up to our room and give me a big hug and say "I wuv you TT! I missed you!" I miss you Mitchy! (TT is their auntie nickname for me)
Amelia...perfectly content for like 2 hours with paper and a bunch of stickers ;)
I don't think that many keys have ever been played on that piano at once
Drew and Chris trying to stay awake after our very sleep deprived weekend

This is for you Auntie Sarah...

Whoa we're SO behind on the blogging...

But since Auntie Sarah has been pestering us we're FINALLY back on the wagon. In the last month we've been...Sipping a delicious creamy frappucinno at Starbucks in Park City
Enjoying the roseola virus and trying not to give it to everyone in Park City (zoom the picture and check out Sy's nasty whole body rash!)
Going on tractor ride's with Grampa (whatta guy...strapped an old baby seat to the back of the tractor so that Isaac could tote along...we love Grampa!)
Going wild with giggles as Yammie "getsya-getsya-getya!"s
Being SO impressed with the "2 weal tigews!" at the zoo that one month later this is still the big news that we share with everyone we meet, every day, at least five times...
