Summer is HERE!!!

Noah is taking to rock climbing much more this summer!!!

Owen jumped into the pool. It looks like he's going to be a dare-devil, were pretty excited about that.

Proud Owen with his harness on.

The kids favorite part about climbing, the Hammock

Owen woke up with balloons and happy brothers and sisters, it was a good morning.

Emma Graduated, she's so grown up. (I think I'm going to cry)

Noah and his class made robots out of material that can be recycled. See, here in Idaho we don't recycle we take stuff that can be recycled add tape and staples and other things to it, then we throw that in the trash.

Emma all ready for crazy hair day.

Owen's Birthday

Owen's Birthday lockness monster cake

Owen insisted on eating the head.

Owen and Noah love nature, so he was pretty excited to have a book for Noah to read him.

A shirt from Grandma that made him pretty happy.

Zoo fun, Thanks Christina and Benson

The girls were pretty excited to pet the goats, but Emma was very disappointed that she couldn't pet the Lions and Tigers. I told her they could eat her, but she insisted that they wouldn't do that to her.

The kids did got to ride the tiger so that was exciting.

There was a bird migration game that the kids got to play it was fun, and sad... poor Noah didn't make it.

Owen got to make a bird he was pretty excited.

Happy Mothers Day!

I can't take credit for this, Nate (my brother sent it) but It's pretty funny.

Let's go fly a kite!

We are starting a chihuahua farm. In a few more months they'll be mature for milking, and then in 3 more years they'll be full grown and ready to be sent off to the butcher. (hopefully by then we'll have gotten at least a gallon of milk produced, and we can all have 3 oz steaks to enjoy with that milk.)

These are our adorable kids all playing together. They do so good mixing cars, legos, and littlest petshop toys and coming up with a game they all enjoy. Well usually enjoy, sometimes Noah gets a bit excited and starts running over the littlest petshop animals, then Owen pretends to eat the carcasses then Emma and Libbie start getting upset and saying, "thats not how we play the game that doesn't count etc !!! "

Heres the kids at the constructions site. They all had so many questions about how things work and what things do and why they do what they do. We've got a handful of geniuses on our hands

Just a bit of what we've been up to! (according to Matt)

Libbie has learned to ride a two wheeler (no training wheels anymore)

And right behind her is her big sis Emma (Say goodbye to training wheels)

Lindsays big on craft time so while it was not snowing, for the first time, she took craft time outside)

Two different crafts on two different days, rocks on one day, and little statues on day 2.

Owen was pretty excited that Lindsay found Baby Drum Sticks, although that just means he has to eat 2 little ones instead of 1 big one.

Easter!! (libbie dipped her hair along with the eggs on accident, now she has punk rocker hair on one side, it's cute)

Emma and Libbie were pretty excited when there Awesome Aunt Regan and Aaron came through with huge chocolate Bunnies and other sweets for easter.

Owen and Noah were equally excited. They knew when mom told them who the package was from it was going to be good.

Lindsay makes everything cute even there cheese snacks.

Owen and Hannah both had rough days so they decided to take a quick nap.

Libbie has a weird growth coming out of her neck, were debating on taking her to the Dr. or Vet?

It's tough when your wife makes snacks look so good, you feel guilty eating them, but they taste so good you get over the guilt before it really sets in. (Lindsay made me thank Lisa for telling her about the great deal on the glass tray at costco)

The slaves (I mean kids) getting stuff ready for President Lindsay's Young Women

It's tradition we catch the Easter bunny every year, and then eat him. (the kids always fight over his eyes and nose)

Emma finally got a real job, she joined the Chubbuck Fire Dept. We lied and said she was 18, they hired her on the spot.

Here was some on the job training. She was actually teaching the new recruit there how to hold the hose.

Out of all these applicants for the job Emma took the cake. We are so proud!

Pine wood Derby and more!

Noahs sweet hummer pinewood derby car, (although it is an SUV it is very environmentally friendly)

Noah didn't come out on top but he wasn't last either so thats good.

Lindsay's amazing crafts (this was for her slacker husband to take to a home teaching family that had a baby girl)

Noah bowling with an audience of his biggest fans!!

No pictures...lame!

Well I don't have any pictures on this computer, so I am going to just give a fast update and then (I hope) I can put some on here this weekend.
We have been having a blast at our house over this last month or two since I posted! Matt and I feel like the kids have grown up over night. It seems to always happen that way. You put them to bed and then they come down stairs in the morning a year older. It makes us want to cry! They are so much fun and we just love spending time with them.
Matt found out his rotations for his last year of school!!!!! We have been praying that they would be easy for the last 5 weeks. There are some really hard ones out there, but we are so blessed and he really got an amazing selection! The reason that we have been praying so hard is that I was called to be the young women president. Crazy I know. It has been a really amazing experience so far. Matt is still the Executive Secretary so we have been really busy, but we have been so amazingly blessed.
So check back in a few days (I hope) and Matt and i will get some pictures on here.
PS... Nate and Katie we only have one year left we need to start planning where to live ;o)
