Christmas and Easter

I'm at work so my supply of pictures is limited.  This first picture is of the girls wearing jogging suits that they received for Christmas.

This picture was taken at our family Christmas dinner.  It was a good day.

 No we didn't color eggs for Christmas.  Skipping forward a few months, this picture was taken the evening before Easter.

 And this was the end result.

 Can you see the egg?

A few Pictures

So these next few posts may seem a little random.  Since it has been about six months since the last one, I confess that I'm putting a little less effort into trying to keep things organized while trying to get caught up on what has been going on.  This picture was taken of Westley at about three months.

 Here's Westley in the basinet.  He has been out of this for around five months now.

I just thought that this was a cute picture of Ambrey and Westley. 

I took this picture while I was waiting for Janna to show up to our Monopoly show down.  I waited, and waited, and waited.  She finally did show up... about two or three months later.  In case you're wondering who won lets just say that Janna went down in flames, but not before pieces of the game went flying in my direction.

Westley has Grown

Apryl, this is for you.  This post is all about Westley, and how much he has grown in the last few months.

Smiling for the camera.

Little man hands.

Westley with his older sisters getting ready to do what he loves most... eat.

How cute is that?

 Hanging out in his saucer.

 The little guy sleeping at one of the girls many softball games.  He looks huge in this picture!

Playing the piano.  It doesn't sound as good as it looks.

Beat up by a Basketball

Looks like someone had a rough day!  This is what I found when I picked up the girls from school this afternoon.

Apparently Alyssa was playing tether ball with a friend, when out of the blue somebody kicked a basketball over a fence in the school yard while she was out at recess.  The basketball then proceeded to pelt Alyssa in the face.  And this was the result.

Poor girl.  I can't wait to see what pretty shades of blue and yellow she dawns in the morning!

Halloween 2011

This is just a compilation of pictures from Halloween time this year.  The first two are from our ward's Trunk or Treat.  The picture above is of Ambrey, Alyssa, and two of Alyssa's friends.

This picture is of Anna, the nice kitty.

Obviously Ambrey was pretty stoked about cleaning out her pumpkin.

However, Anna and Alyssa seemed to enjoy it.

This is Ambrey, the dead ballerina.

And this is Anna, the dead panther.  She found out that Ambrey was going to be dead, so she wanted to kill her character too.

Alyssa chose not to follow the trend by going as a live witch.

Time for some tricks and treats!

Westley and Ambrey

We've said it before, it doesn't take much to get Ambrey to fall asleep.  She wanted to be close to Westley so she went over to him and laid down next to him.  Next thing you know she's out, and he's looking at her like: "what are you doing over there?"

Alyssa's Tenth Birthday

No Alyssa's birthday didn't just happen, but we are a bit behind again on what has gone on in our home.  So this is the cake that Janna made for her party.  Once again she out did herself, and this time she did while she was nine months pregnant.  Alyssa wanted a surfboard cake to go along with the theme of her party, so this is what she got.

 For those of you who were wondering, yes the cake was as good as it looked.  The rest of the party consisted of swimming, games, and a movie about some surfer girl who got eaten by a shark.

Oh yes, and birthday presents too.

Crazy girls.  What did we get ourselves into?

Westley Update

This is just a brief update on Westley.  The above picture was taken last Thursday as we were preparing to take him home from the hospital.  Since the time that we took him home he has eaten, slept, soiled his diapers, and kept us up at night.  That's about it.

This picture was taken this morning after he finished eating.  It's amazing to watch how he changes every single day.  The two videos that you see below are both short clips from the puppet show that Anna put on for us this morning.
