Through the Eyes of a Three Year Old

Riley likes to climb on chairs and get things she's not supposed to like the camera. Here are some of the pictures she took.

She was playing with the settings on this one.

Happy Birthday Riley!

It's hard to believe that Riley is already three! Here are some pics from her birthday!

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!!! We had a great day and got tons of candy!!! Quinn was a Clone Trooper, Will was Darth Vader, Aiden was Spider-man, and Riley was Tinkerbell.

I Love to See the Temple

They are few and far between, so I wanted to share a successful Family Home Evening that we had tonight. We talked about temples and about being sealed as a family. We then looked at pictures of temples that are significant to our families - the ones we (or other family members) were married in, went to for the first time, etc. For the activity, we built temples out of LEGO blocks and took pictures. The kids had a lot of fun and mommy and daddy were happy because there wasn't much arguing!

Mommy and Riley built a temple for the zoo keeper and his tiger.

Aiden built a slide on his so that Bob could have fun.

Will had a chair for his people to sit in.

Quinn's temple is under construction - they are putting the angel Moroni on!

I liked the lighting on this one!

Sleepytime

These are some pictures we took the other night of the kids asleep. Aiden and Will are both hanging out of their beds. Riley is in bed with Quinn. We've been trying to get her to sleep in her toddler bed. We know when she's stopped crying that she has gotten into Quinn's bed. Doug actually woke up one night after she had fallen asleep in her bed, to check on her and she wasn't in her bed. She had gotten in bed with Quinn in the middle of the night and we never heard her get up. We were a little panicked when she wasn't in her bed! In the picture she has on some of Will and Aiden's pjs. I sent the boys to their room to get changed and she followed and helped herself to some mismatched pjs.

Happy Birthday Will and Aiden

It's hard to believe that Will and Aiden are 5 today! Here are some pics from previous birthdays.

This is the first time the boys were together after they were born. They are 4 days old.

Sleeping after the birthday festivities.

2nd birthday

This was their train birthday. The cakes are made out of pre-made pound cake and they tasted horrible. Quinn still talks about how bad they tasted.

The boys always watch each other open their presents. It's kind of funny to watch.

Quinn is 7!

It's hard to believe that Quinn is 7! It seems like he was just born. Here are some pictures from birth through 6 years old.
