Hannah's new favorite thing...

Yes... That is Hannah sleeping while playing with Play dough. notice she is still holding the cutting toy :)

Hannah has discovered play dough the last week and can not get enough of it.. The hardest problems has been to keep it out of my clothing and furniture and at the table where it belongs!

I was sick this past week, Trent stayed home and took care of the children... he was doing some work at the computer and came back to little Hannah taking a nap with her play dough.. too cute!

Emy's 8th Birthday

Emeline wanted to celebrate her 8th birthday this year with a small slumber party with two friends. They had a great time!

Clearance at wal-mart... I love it! no where else would I have found three little girls pj kits for so little cost!! They loved that they were matching!

No cake, Emeline wanted ice cream Sundays and cookies... can you say sugar high?

I had to take a picture.. they crashed around 11 that night... they were all very tired I think.
Emeline is anxiously awaiting her baptism April 24th.

Make-up

One the neighbor girls got a HUGE assortment of make-up and nail polish for her birthday. The girls wanted to get "prettied" up so with a little help from mommy they picked colors and I put very little on... Hannah wanted to be in the picture but did not want make-up.. just her toes done. It was great fun and It reminded me how fun girls can be!!

SiCk

This time of year not many are surprised when I say that Hannah has gotten bronchitis again with pneumonia in the lower right lung. She is on a strong antibiotic and we are doing breathing treatments around the clock. What makes it even better is that Trent and I are also sick with nasty colds that have cause our sinus to get infected. I have to say I am thankful it is a weekend and hopefully by Monday our house is feeling much better.
Also, I was asked why it is Emeline is getting baptized one month after her birthday, it is simple her very best friend Maren is also turning 8 and they would like to have their baptisms together, Maren turns 8 April 17th. Also My nephew Cameron is getting married April 10th and is having a reception on the 16th.. so the month of April is rather busy in my family as well!
I hope to have pictures posted of the girls "make-up" party soon..

Weekend Trip to Oregon!!

I know these are not the clearest pictures but our normal camera was broken at home so we bought a disposable one... well at least you can see what we have been up to :)
We took a weekend trip to my brother's house in Camas and on our way home we stopped at Multnomah Falls in Oregon. Sadly this is the first time our children have seen a water fall of this size. Micah decided he should look cool...

Such a beautiful waterfall... thought I would get a picture with some one in it :) Trent's melon wins!

Hannah was not going to make the hike up to the bridge so Trent took the three older children up.. they loved it. Trent found this dead tree and decided it was a good place for a photo.. Micah is less then thrilled being squeezed between the two girls...

It was a very long weekend and what can I say, I was tired. Trent took this without my knowledge and I discovered it after having the film developed.
It was a great trip and I loved being able to see my Brother and his family. It has been awhile since we had seen them (about 2 years).
Not sure where our next adventure will be but we were able to find a nice older tent trailer that will meet the needs of Hannah and our family. We are excited to take it out for a spin as soon as it warms up a bit more.. 35 degrees does not work for me :) I am mostly excited to be able to go to my families favorite Ocean side campgrounds of Kalaloch, Wa. The end of this summer. As a baby my family would go to Kalaloch every year, It has been almost 4 years since I have been back due to babies and medical needs, so when I informed the children, they were more than excited!! (Micah and Emy are the only ones that remember it)
Love you all!!!
FYI, Emy's baptism will be at 3:30, Saturday, April 24th for all that would like to attend. I know of a few that are coming, but if you have not talked to me yet, please let me know so we can be accommodating!!

Several of you live in the areas around Utah and may have seen this article already. Baylee is a Truly amazing little girl!! She still has many hurdles in front of her but she is doing one heck of a job and her parents have been doing rather wonderful themselves with all this.
