Collection of Photos

I haven't posted in over a month, but I have some really cute pictures that I need to share with everyone! The kids are getting so big lately, especially the twins. So, enjoy and let me know what you think! (especially my family who never comment, but should!!)

Be warned:  there are a LOT of pictures, but they ARE cute!

The boys playing video games on Daddy's computer

While Grace waited for dinner, Ryland brought her a tray full of pretend food.  They both thought it was hilarious!

mmmmm.... yum yum

At the Children's museum...  my little Firemen.

Future President  (just kidding, I don't wish that on anyone)

Knight Kian (much better)

1 of the 2 toy organizers my dad built for us!  Isn't it wonderful??!

Your eyes don't deceive you... that IS Atari.  Yep, and Kian is playing Pong.  For anyone over 30 (at least), this may bring a rush of memories.  Look at those graphics!

My little sweetheart

Ryland's hair has gotten a lot lighter lately

Ry & Grace playing on the couch and being silly

Ok, ok... I just can't help taking pictures of those big blue eyes!!

Grace absolutely ADORES Tinkerbell, who she calls "Bell".  She has been wearing her fairy wings almost every day lately.  Then she says "I fy" (translation: I fly).  Its very sweet.

All 3 coloring in the kitchen.  They all love to color together.

Fun with Daddy before bedtime!

I hope you enjoyed all these pictures!!

After Santa came, the Eppersons came

My sister Colleen and bro-in-law Dan came to Utah right after Christmas to visit.  We had SO much fun just playing.  Kian followed Canaan (10) and Annelise (8) around, ALL DAY.  But they were great playing with their 4 year old cousin.  Also, there were FOUR 1-2 year olds in the house:  my twins, Zade (2), and Asher (1).  It was great seeing all of them and I miss them already!  Here are some pics of our time together.

Zade & Ryland playing in Grandmam's basement.  They played very well together.  While Zade can be a tough cookie with the older kids, he was a sweetheart with Ryland and Grace.

"Christmas" with the Epperson's.

They had to spend a little time together, on Chop's chair.

Canaan making silly faces.

Baby Asher isn't as much of a baby anymore.  He just turned ONE in early December.

Grace absolutely ADORES her Grandmam.  In fact, when she gets hurt at Grandmam's house, she runs to her for kisses.  She even ran past me once to get to Grandmam.  

HEY!  Its Hannah Montana!!  When did she grow her beard?  Oh wait, thats just Dan.  Ah, what a wonderful picture.  Maybe it was mean posting it, but I couldn't help myself.

Zade (aka "Bam-Bam")

Ryland liked putting on Mr. Potato Head's glasses.  He'd put them on to read books.

He is a cutie huh?

The twins liked climbing on the coffee table, which Grandmam didn't like so much.  ;)

My beautiful sister Colleen.

Annelise made these snowman in the backyard.  Aren't they cute?

Big smiles!!

Thanks for coming to see us Dan &  Colleen!  We love you guys!

Birthday Party & Christmas Day

I forgot to post a picture of Randy's birthday.  I made him a chocolate cake and they all enjoyed blowing out the many, many candles.

On December 24, the twins turned 2 years old!  I can't believe it!!  We had a birthday party with some friends and family.  It was a lot of fun!

Ryland got a police motorcyle toy, which he loved!

Grace and her cousin Elizabeth tried out the new baby stroller and shopping cart.

They loved their new kitchen!

mmmm...  lots of good food.

Then the next day was Christmas!!  We had to wake up the kids at 8:15am!  Kian was an old pro at opening gifts while the twins were a little slower.  But they all loved their new toys!  Thanks to everyone who helped make our Christmas extra special!

Absolute madness.

Ryland kissing Curious George.

Bibbity Bobbity Boo....  

Grace loves you!

Kiddie Kandid Pictures

Here are the latest Kiddie Kandid pictures of the kids!  Its been a year since we've had pictures done.  I tried in the Spring, but they wouldn't all look at the camera...   These turned out MUCH better.  So, enjoy!!  These are Ry & Grace's 2 year old pictures, since their birthday is on the 24th.  I can't believe my babies are almost 2!!

Funny story

So, we were sitting around watching "Bruce Almighty" while Kian was playing with toys.  We got to the point in the movie where Bruce pulls the moon closer and creates some extra stars.  Kian started watching the movie at that point and thought it was funny how he pulled the moon down.  For those of you that have seen the movie, the next part is the romance scene where there is a lot of kissing.  So, after a second of kissing, I quickly change the channel.  Then Kian said "Hey!  Put that back on!"  We say to Kian, "Why would you want to watch that?  Its just a bunch of kissing."  Then he says...    "I'm just a little CURIOUS."   

And so it begins....

Couple of my favorite pictures from November:

Star Wars Nerd Convention?

Or just Halloween at our house??

May I introduce (starting from the left) ...

Anakin (Taylor), Darth Vador (Ry), Luke (Kian), Obi Wan (Isaac), Chewbaca (Grace)

They had a blast trick-or-treating!  Grace wanted to pick candy out of our neighbors' bowls, Ryland pointed at every "scary" thing and laughed, and Kian was the expert trick-or-treater this year!   It was a great time.

Ry & Grace picked a spot in our house to sit next to each other, as they do all the time, but this time they ate candy out of these little pumpkins.  They just ate and "talked" to each other, it was very cute.

Big brother decided to join the fun!

I forgot to post some of our pics from the pumpkin patch, so here they are...

"This pumpkin is worth '1 million dollars'!"
