David

1st Day of Preschool

Now that we are well into the school year, I should talk about what David is doing. He is doing one more year of preschool this year. His teacher is Miss Renay and he is loving it. Laura had her too, so they like to talk about it together.

David is an absolute sweetheart! I have called him my little sweetheart ever since he was a little toddler. Every night before bed I would always say goodnight sweetheart and if I forgot to say it, he would say "hee heart". Anyway, he just loves and adores little Jared. He's always willing to help with the baby.

This picture makes me laugh, because he is constantly sneaking into every picture I try to take of Jared.

First Day of School

First day of 1st grade!

Now that we're a few weeks into school Laura is doing really well. It took a few weeks for her to adjust to ALL DAY first grade instead of half day kindergarten. There was alot of complaining about it being so long and so hot and missing mom. I don't blame her for feeling that way because it really is a big change from what the summer was. She is definitely alot more positive when she talks about school now. She really is growing up so fast. Where does the time go?

Oh my goodness, I have 4 kids and it's crazy!

I think one of my favorite things to do is to get all the kids on the couch and see if I can get them all to look and smile at the same time

Time for an update

Jared was about 2 weeks old in these pictures. I clearly haven't gotten around to updating my blog since he is now 3 months. Anyway, I love these pictures! This really great lady in my ward took them. Thanks Debe

Welcome Baby Jared!

Happy Birthday David!

David turned 4 on December 9th! I can't believe the big boy that he is growing up to be. I'm not suprised though, we know he got his great-grandpa Gardner's genes. He will always be my little sweet heart though.

There is quite a crew when all the cousins get together. This really isn't even all of them. They have a great time together.

The hightlight was his new bike!

Halloween Fun!

Halloween was so much fun this year. My mother-in-law Nancy and I had so much fun putting Laura and David's costumes together. Ever since David was a baby, Laura has loved the movie Mary Poppins. As a little 2 year old she would sing and dance around as she watched it. It was so much fun to watch her because Mary Poppins was one of my favorite movies to watch when I was growing up. As they have gotten older David has really enjoyed watching it too. So when they were trying to decide what to be for Halloween, I threw out the idea of Mary Poppins & Bert (as the chimney sweep). They were so excited. So all through Ocotber we were constantly quoting lines from the movie and singing the songs. We all had so much fun.

Jacob's face lights up every time we sit down to read a Winnie the Pooh book, so I thought that was the perfect costume for him. Looks like Winnie the Pooh had too much honey that night.

This year we went to the pumpkin patch at night, which was much cooler. The kids had a great time as always.

One of David's favorite things is tractors, so he really loves getting to sit on a REAL one. I love how excited he gets

And of course it doesn't seem like Halloween until you've made a jack-o-lantern.

Happy Birthday Jacob!

My baby turned 1 on Sept. 25! What a year it's been. This age is so fun to watch his little personality grow. Especially watching him become more independent. I love to watch him play trucks and trains on the floor with Laura and David. He'll push a car along in each hand while he crawls around and makes a motor sound with his mouth. So funny. It's all the little things that make motherhood such a joy.

My sweet baby boy.

Mommy made a homemade carrot cake. Super yummy!

He looks like he's not so sure of it. He got into it eventually.

I think all the siblings and cousins have more fun opening presents at a 1 year olds party, because the 1 year old doesn't know what's going on and that everyone else is taking off to go play with their new toys.
