Missed one...

Aubrey's hair is long enough for french braids... they didn't stay in well, but there they are.. I need some practice getting them even... and on a wiggly head. I learned to braid hair on dolls... they didn't wiggle so much!!

Nana, this will be expected while you are here...

Just teasing!!!

Major Download....

I am needing to clean off my disks so that I have PLENTY of room for photos from Maui...so here is a bunch of random photos...

This is why Carson is so skinny....plays with his food instead of eating it. But when he saw the mini pudding pies for dessert he managed to finish off his ring of asparagus and the rest of his "crab la holy" (la Jolla) crepes...

We took supper to Ralph and Ellens last week and Danny told Carson to get himself dressed... I thought he was quite creative.. He loves that tie... and really any tie...it is his favorite part of Sunday...wearing a tie. Anyway... Hope he isn't color blind....
Have dirt...will play...
This is the sand to weigh down the back of the truck on slick roads...
We have had some warm sunny calm weather... and have been playing in dirt... The kids really miss dirt!


Danny playing with the kids on Saturday morning.. Aubrey was good at staying up there.. Carson was a bit afraid... and don't mind the messy house... that is normal.

Stomping in the mud till her face was muddy!

Aubrey finally got up the nerve to try out a mustache....

She loves anything sweet... loved helping me make frosting for a cake...

I did a valentines tea for the kids... and Caleb thorougly enjoyed his first tea party.. I know cuz he told me so! =-)

Noah, on the other hand, wasn't so thrilled...

The big girls...

And Carson, Bethany and Dawson.

Almond bark inside candycane hearts....

Aubrey loves eggs and is starting to love to fix her own..

Auntie Jamie made the cutest doll and doll blanket for Aubrey's birthday! Thanks... Even with red hair and blue eyes! Adorable!

Treasure Hunt!!

We had Owen and Emily over for a treasure hunt today.

I found some sticky mustaches and Emily modeled one, but Aubrey wouldn't get close to them!

The 2 Famous Dectives "Sam and Dudley"

In their disguises...
I made the clues such that they had to work together to read them. I was amazed at what Carson could read! The boys worked together really well... The first clue was to the sandbox...

Then to the wood bucket...

decipering the clue... to Carson's bed...

Oops didn't get a picture of that one.. or the next one "cat food". but they ended up in the "bath tub"... where the treasure chest was!

Checking out the loot, there was even stuff for Aubrey and Emily!

Sam and Dudley save the day again!

Aubrey thought this was the greatest treasure... holding Emily.

What a handsome guy!

Misc. Winter Stuff

I discovered a crack in Aubrey's beloved bug boots... they might have to disappear soon! =-(

Love is in the air...
Carson dressed himself this day... "But I like it that way"
Makes it hard to tell if he is coming or going!

Cleaning out Daddy's truck.

Little cutie!
