Life with kids.

We have been busy these past few months.  Time goes too fast.  I can't believe my boy is 8 months old already!   He is so wonderful for me at church, it has been said in reference to Brig by several couples in our ward--expecting, and not yet expecting babies, "I want one of those."  He is a gem, what can I say.


We got a swing set!!  And within the week Anne finally figured out how to pump all by herself, and Ruby made some major improvement!  (hooray for me!)


The girls will preform his every command.  Or at least they compete to be his favorite jester.  Anything to make this guy laugh!


We went to Philadelphia to meet Uncle Cory and Aunt Jill.  It was so fun to see them!  It has been too long.  


Had to get a picture at the Rocky statue, even if it isn't very good.


And here's an Easter picture that snuck in there.
We had an awesome activity at church!!


At home, Lucy kept asking me why the doorbell was broken.  It wasn't until I was going through pictures later that I realized what she was talking about.


Campfires are the best!  It took Lucy a while to cook her hot dog, holding it way up there.


Did you know you can reach farther in the splits?  Well, at least Brigham can.




We had a passover dinner with some friends leading up to Easter.  It was fun to think more about the symbolism as we remembered the sacrifice of our Savior.



We are excited for the fruits of our garden!





One happy baby.



Hayride at Milburn Orchards.


To celebrate finishing The Book of Mormon as a family, we had a party.  Here are our bows and arrows that were not broken. 
 But some of them lost their spring.



Anne was chosen as a "Young Ambassador" again this year.  We are so proud of her hard work in school and her good citizenship.  
Would you believe those girls are in the same grade?
Anne had a great growth spurt this year too!
I guess she takes after me more than I thought.
