Pregnancy Photos

So I finally did these, it was a chaotic morning to get these photos taken, Alexis and Spencer thought the backdrop was a carnival fishing game. And they all wanted to take photos with the camera. I really wanted some better light but it just didn't happen this morning. So here we have it documented, the pregnancy of baby number four and boy two! Due June 7 2008, we are hoping for a week early!

Homemade Ice Cream

We made homemade ice cream last sunday, and we are making it again tomorrow. I think it is the best ice cream they have ever had!

Girls racing at the NAU track

So Arden and Alexis ran a race at the NAU track for a fundraiser for Big Brother, Big Sisters. They were really great racers!

Kids eating fish

Dave took Alexis and Spencer fishing a few Saturdays ago. They caught 11 fish. My kids love to eat fish, the eat at least two a piece. I just think it is so funny how they love it so much. They are going to make the best backpackers ever!

Hiking

We came how with 3 lizards after this hike and have kept them for 3 week. Last night Alexis and Spencer finally decided to let their lizards go in the forest so that they would be happy. Arden says she will let hers go after she takes her lizard to school for show and tell.

Arden gets ready!

Arden getting ready for "Book Charactor Day." This was no morning to take lightly, Arden was serious about being "sleeping beauty" even though she has never seen the movie! She got to wear make-up to school, how fun in that for her!

More Mud

Alexis drawing!

Job Jar

Here is my job jar I learned from my book, every consequence is a chore! I love it. They get to pick it out of this cute little jar!

I am reading this book and love it for discipline!

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was so wonderful. The kids slept in and it was really relaxing. We have a tradition to take a family picture before church, so here it is. Its just a tripod pic, something to document the holiday and what the kids were wearing. I think they looked amazing!

My new plates

My new plates came on tuesday and I just hung them today (sat), I really like them, it is something different and bright!

Alexis without Training Wheels!

So Arden and I were on a date last night and Dave calls my cell phone as Arden is shopping for a neckless. Dave says Alexis is riding without training wheels and that we need to come home fast. I tell Arden all about it in my most animated voice, Arden is so excited to see Alexis ride without training wheels that she hurries and picks out a neckless and is rushing to the checkout so she can end her date with me early and go see her little sister ride a bike without training wheels. What a great sister!

Alexis is so excited about the whole thing that she can bearly talk about it, she gets right out of breath full of animation and excitment! She is really brave and even rides Arden's bigger bike. She is very proud of herself! Spencer is just plain frustrated with being the little brother who can't quit do it yet!

Easter on Saturday

Our new tradition! Why celebrate the Easter Bunny on Sunday when you can do it on saturday? Now our kids won't be all hyper at church tomorrow! We had a huge easter egg hunt in the house. The kids will be opening plastic eggs for weeks! And tomorrow we will really talk about our Savior Jesus Christ and what Easter is really about!

Crand Canyon Good Friday!

Dave didn't have to work on Good Friday so we went hiking in the Grand Canyon, it was muddy and icy, but the kids loved it. They love riding the bus to Hermits Landing!

Decorating Easter Eggs

This got really messy! The kids were really into it!
