Mom can we take our raft out in the reservoir???

Addler was reading Mark Twain's Tom sawyer and decided he would build a raft.  I though it was great until they all go involved and then thought they needed to try it out.  I asked myself can they not see the snow on the banks??  Oh, well they had so much and it didn't last for only a day!  They claim the water was warm!!??  Boys will be boys.

Addler, Ruxton, and Maestin and their...raft??  Looks like it could have used some "back to the table" work.

More rafting in teped waters.

The three trouble makers!

They always seem to figure out how to have fun!

Holdan really wanted to join the "fun"!

Unhappy little brother...mom said no not until he swims a little bit better!

Silly little Taggert

TAGGERT

This silly little boy found the stair rails and started playing games.  He thought it was so funny...well and so did we!  

crawling everywhere and getting into everything as he discovers his world!

Valentines Day

The boys all got a set of sweatpants for Valentines day.  I love these boys so much, and I love to share a day of showing just how much we love each other.

Taggert is really getting around and crawling a lot now.

Austin's Birthday

Another birthday has come for the favorite man of the house.  And anther giant cheese cake gone.  The only thing that he ever wants is cheese cake.  He loves it.  He is loved in this family, and we are grateful for him and all that he does for us.  He is a great example of kindness and giving.  Happy Birthday babe I love you more than words can describe you are a great father and an amazing husband.

Austin and Taggert

My boys have the best dad.  He is loveing and caring and really never looses patience, or gets tired of them crawling all over him.  He has unconditional love for them.  He is also fun, they start to realize that time with dad is outside workig and exploring the world.  These are just some fun pictures of Austin and Taggert.  The evenings are usually the time we get to spend one on one time with our babies, and Austin and I love this time with them.

First time for a shoulder ride he thought it was pretty fun.

Taggert checking out dads head.

Getting excited.

Austin enjoying Taggert.

Holdan and Taggert

These two were so funny this day.  Holdan was snacking on left over waffles, when Taggert decided he needed some.  Holdan gladly consented to sharing, they started giggling and just having fun.  So fun to see them begin to play...what will the future bring for these two.

Ruxton Baptisam

Our Ruxton is growing up and made a good choice in choosing to be baptized.  He was very thoughtful and a bit emotional about the whole process.  It was neat to seem him keep to himself and quietly contemplate what it means.  When he came up our of the water he had a big grin on his face!  He is a tough boy that wears his heart on his shoulder.  We love his personality in our home.  He keeps us on our toes.  He is a tease and always game for anythings.  His brothers loves to play with him.
