So Much Catching Up to DO!!!!!

Just a few more of Cali... surfing, skim boarding, skating, exploring, and just have such a wonderful time together! I love vacationing with my kids!

Sunny Southern California...

Great memories... swimming, skim boarding, surfing, kayaking, picnicking, swimming, digging, sand castle building, skateboarding, sea lion watching, crab catching.... fun times!

4 years old..... Celebrating in Cali!

4 years and still spunky, funny, happy, and wonderful! We love this lil' thing and we hope her wild streak runs out by her 16th B-day!

My lil' man....

So somehow this kid is the age of ten and thinks like a 40 year old. He is dad #2 in our house, leader of the "D crew" pack. I love this boy and though he hates pictures I got a few to share. Kip and I often tear up to think we only have a few more years before this kids takes off.... he'll be a hard one to keep up with with how creative and active he is!

Father's day....

Mom's birthday...Wild Safari ...

Wild Safari ...

"It's a Hellibration!"

.... word's from my 3 yr. olds mouth. Of course she is meaning "Celebration." Usually here Hellibration involves her changing into a new outfit, food storage items from my pantry, a little bit of junk food and a bit mess of books or toys... Today it was:

•  3 outfits
• Chili Fritos
• canned tomato sauce
• all the trash cans in the house
• around 50 books 
• and some jewelry

I decided here celebrations were truly what she was calling it but I have to laugh, remind myself that she is creating, exploring, and imagining. I love letting kids be kids, and it will all be gone in the blink of an eye!

Another Baby...hmmm?

So of course we are done having kids right? 3 Sunday's ago I got a strong feeling there may be one more baby waiting to come down? It was a strong and overwhelming feeling I had during Sacrament meeting at Church, ...out of the blue. But since then, I've been thinking I must have be hallucinating or something... Tonight I've concluded that is was just my laptop that had died.... "corrosion in the logic board" who decided 7 months later to come back alive. Crazy I know but it is my baby... My Macbook Pro. No diapers, feeding, etc. I even got to pick it's gender... it's a boy!

... really did have those feelings... I guess we'll forego the planned, soon to be scheduled procedures and give it some time and prayer?

Ashtyn's Photo-shoot....

Ashtyn, my lil' helper and 2nd mother to the babies. She is always thinking of others, super helpful, mild and sweet. On the other hand... she can "carry her own" when it comes to mountain biking, motor-cross, catching critters, skateboarding, and just keeping up with her brothers.  Love this lil' angel!

Renn's turn....

Trying to single out my kids and get them being themselves... first Sky... now Renn. This lil' guy... "although he's visited the principles office more times than less," ... is SO wonderful. He loves to snuggle, sneak kisses, love on his baby sister, and just be a BOY! The past few day's he's wanted to go help our elderly neighbors, finds me randomly through the day to see if I need help. etc. I don't know if he's been hit with a rock by one of his siblings or if all the family night's and scriptures discussions are sinking in.... I'll take either!....

FHE with the Reynolds....

    My good friend Kat from Timanogos High School and her darling family drove from Florida to Va. We were so excited to get to spend some time visiting with them and letting our kids play,,, " 11 all together." Tin-foil dinners, smoore's, and the great outdoors, "our kids were in heaven!".  My kids are already anxious to make the trek down to Fl. to visit their new friends.  Such fun!

Kat and I were the least boy crazy in High School and the first to get married... who'd a thought?

Hugs to the Reynolds...they kids can't wait to see you again. What a fun family!!!!
