Sean's going to Snow!


My baby mammoth brother Sean is going to play football for Snow College! We are so excited for him! Do us proud Sean!

Aidan is breaking our arms...


Our little fella isn't so little anymore. He honestly weighs 100 pounds. Okay, not honestly. But, he is very close to 20 pounds. (He weighed 18 lbs. a month ago at his 4 month check.) Cambree likes to carry him around, but he gets a little heavy and so this is how she ends up toting him around. We are going to have massive biceps before this boy can walk. He also has learned a delightful new trick of pushing backwards with his legs. Which, makes him slightly mobile and oh so proud of himself. He likes to pull this trick while I am changing his diaper and then I have to rope him down and try again. Fun...

Our little feathered friends...



We made a wonderful little bird feeder because my friend Kathryn had made one and blogged it on her blog. So, we took the idea and built the little feeder that has been blowing in the wind ever since. Well, we have a little family of yellow birds that come to visit regularly now and this is one of the birds. We haven't identified it yet so if anyone knows what it is, let us know. We think it is beautiful and the girls and Mike have named him "Petey". (Dumb and Dumber--blind boy's bird).

A funny story...


Cambree lost her 2nd tooth 3 days after she lost her 1st tooth. We tried really hard to pull it before we left for church on Sunday and couldn't get it. But, wouldn't you know it? Mike snagged it a little during the passing of the sacrament and it was hanging by a thread. So, after the sacrament was passed, they got up and went into the hall and finished the job. She is so proud and has to show EVERYONE her missing teeth. The tooth fairy brought her a golden dollar this time, so who knows what that crazy fairy will bring for the 3rd and 4th. Maybe a stick of gum to pull out all the rest or maybe a big crunchy apple.

Happy Birthday "dear" Andy!



Today is Andy's 29th birthday and the girls are excited for him. They would be more thrilled if we were there to help blow out candles and open presents. Do you still get to do that when you are a 29 year old? I don't know. A couple of these pictures are of the girls at Sean's graduation. Cambree convinced Andy to buy her a drink of Sprite and Brinlee was pouty because she didn't get to go and get one too. So, there you go. Happy Birthday old man! We sure love you and the many tricks/secrets you have taught us. Have a great day!

The Tooth Fairy Came...


The tooth fairy came and wouldn't you know it, she left a fortune under Cambree's pillow. It isn't the billion dollars that she left her friend Taybree from school, but it was a cool $2 bill. What a lucky, lucky girl!!

She is THRILLED to see what the tooth fairy leaves her...We'll keep you posted. THANKS MICHELLE--You're our hero!
