I love School Pictures!

Has there ever been a cuter Kindergarten picture?

This one's pretty cute too, except for the wet spot on his shirt

                                            We've got the school picture hairdo down!

                                    It's always fun to unwind to a mess like this after church

Go Swees-Dog! On the podium again after another great Special Olympics swim.          Remember the awesome bomb dog Cinco?

Lydia in her classic sleeping position, on the ground with her head wrapped up in a sheet. Weird.

Maria's first day of Timpview Tots. She loves going to school and especially wearing her backpack!

Nailed it!

6 months pregnant with little... Rosie? Elizabeth? Ruby? hmmm...

And now for some great pictures of Vera. Let's start with getting into vaseline in her "hoot" (swimsuit).

Pretty do-do!!!! Vera says this word over a thousand times a day, no kidding. Dress ups all day for this girl.

                                                       

Yaya's Wedding!

The ring bearer and flower girl. Ahh!

Oh que pretty!

On our way to church :)

Bug is in heaven with his bacon bomb from Slater's 50/50. What a fun rehearsal dinner!

This was on Memorial day at the Sand Hill with the Sorensens. They were so good to us!

Vera lived in this floaty and water wings for the entire week we were in California.

The last of the summer pictures. That was the best tube ever, even Vera rode on it!

My baby doll.

It Was a Short Summer Charlie Brown

Have you ever read that book? It's not that great, but we have read it many o times!

                                     First day of school for Lyd, Bug and Max! Summer is over, but we made some good memories right? Do you remember...

                                                                The 4th of July?

                                           The 24th of July  primary parade? We had a great double dutch contest and mean tug of war. 

                        Don't forget 100 degree Hogle Zoo! That was a sweet bird show.

                                            Vera's 2nd birthday! What a great day, except for when we lost Vera for an hour and she was at Edgemont naked in the front office. We'll never forget that!!

And we will for sure never forget the fit Vera threw in the ShopKo parking lot. She was very particular in picking out an umbrella and "pretty do-do" for her birthday. 

Let's not forget Maria! It was a great 4th birthday full of treats and more treats!

Another great birthday by the pool in California. That Aunt Arleen sure knows how to take care of us!

The Beach! Max was the man, so was Buggy and Lyd, they loved it! Vera hated it and so did Maria. She kept saying, "This is so boring!"

Oh, my sweet Lyd. She could have fun staring at a wall.

She is a gem.

Dodger Game! Those 2 boys are in HEAVEN. I mean look at Bug?

If only you could see the city in the background, beautiful!

My Slippery Fish!!!

Snugglin' Parties

 Ahh... Those were the days huh guys? 4 kids in one bed, laughing, crying, fighting, kicking and peeing. The hand holding really pulled at the ol' heart strings.

I looked through our pictures and found all I could of those snuggly nights.

One night I found this little hut the kiddies must have constructed during their sleep, this is what I found inside:

Bug, remember you slept in there 2 nights in a row and couldn't feel your legs in the morning?

Nothing like a squishy diaper for a pillow. I love this picture.

Comfy Max.

 Couldn't help myself... let's just say that was a classic day.

Every morning for the past, well, YEARS, we have heard the mickey song when our toast was done. Can you hear it now kids? Too bad it stopped working, I get sad every time our new boring toaster just pops.

Saturday we had a family vote of what we wanted to do and suprise trip won. Where did we end up? Vernal! Remember the flowers, temple, swimming, closed dinosaur museum and snake? I bet you don't remember the screaming and bathroom breaks.

It is always a fight for this spot.

Peas and carrots

Honey and her first attempt at something behind the boat!

 This was the day before the 4th of July and we went to shop-ko and bought this sweet pool, got popscicles and water babies at the grocery store and stayed in the back for hours. One of the best days ever.
