First Day of School

I love the first day of school!

Laina will be starting the 3rd grade.

Alexis will be starting the 1st grade.

Lexie Lost Her First Tooth

It finally happened. We thought this day would never come.

4th of July

We went to Flagstaff to visit with Aunt Sessie for the 4th of July weekend. While we were there we took the ski lift to the top of the mountain.

I don't know if you can read the sign above the door, but this is the highest bathroom in Arizona.

Laina's Baptism

Laina Banks was baptised on June 13th 2009.

Laina was so excited and there was a great spirit there. My whole family came and Glenn gave the best spiritual thought after the blessing. After the baptism we all went to our house for lunch. What a great day for our whole family.

Lovin the presents.

"We all had a super time." Laina

Baby Horse

On our last trip to the ranch, we were lucky enough to see the birth of a baby horse. He was born in the early morning and we spent all day with him.

The girls were so taken by this baby horse that they named blue eyes.

Here is the very first picture of our forth child. This is a picture of his face....

but more importantly, here is a picture of ... well ... you know.

That's right. IT'S A BOY!

Alexis turned 6!For Lexie's birthday we had a water party at our house.

We also made home made pizza and ate cake.

By far, the kids favorite activity of the night was the "catch the button" game.

Here is a cute video of it.

Playing with Easter gifts

I love this. Haley got a little chick with bunny ears on it that cheeps when you hold it in your hand. She loved it and, much to our dismay, carried it around for days making it cheep.

The girls made good use of their bubble wands. They were very good at them and had lots of fun until their little sister dumped all of the bubble solution in the grass. What a party popper.

Easter Morning

Well, it looks like the Easter bunny found us again.

Laina and her basket.

Alexis loved hers.

Haley is not even fully awake yet.
