Big Squeeze

I think that Rachel took this picture of herself with Natalie.

Sparing Gear

Joseph got sparing gear for Tae Kwon Do. The gear is required once he makes green belt, so they start teaching the kids to use it after they get their yellow belt.

Kiss the Cook

Don't you just want to kiss this face. Bailey helped me mix the dry ingredients for pumpkin cookies. She loves to help me cook.

Fridge Watching

We are going to be in trouble when she figures out how to get it open.

Natalie amazes us every day!

As far as we know, Natalie has not seen anyone put on a pair of gloves this year, unless she's seen that at school. We were all amazed that she knew exactly where a glove went.

Bailey & Natalie get warm together

Bailey and Natalie were snuggling up together under this nice warm blanket this morning after breakfast by Daddy. Joe made a fabulous breakfast of blueberry pancakes and sausage links. Yum!!!

Photo by Rachel

This picture was taken my our budding photographer, Rachel.

A sequence of events

Hmm - I wonder what's up here?

Hey - What's this?

Mom - Look what I found?

Mom - Can I have this for a snack?

Father - Daughter Dance

Joe and Mallory acting cool!!!

Rachel the Blowfish

Taylor's picture is missing because I didn't get a good one during this photo shoot.

Joseph was happy about something

 

Bailey reads a book

 

Natalie behind the wheel

 

Busch Gardens

We took the kids to Busch Gardens today. We rented a wheel chair for Rachel since she's still on crutches. Everyone had a great time. We will try to go once more before the park closes for the year.

Natalie loved this ride

Natalie loved this ride. She rode it again and again at least 5 times in a row. She seemed to really like the steering wheel.

Sister 4 Sale

Joseph had one person take him up on his offer to sell a sister. Only 4 more sisters to go.

Pooped!!!

Two down on the way home, only four more to go. Joseph and Taylor were playing on the Game Cube.

Hamburgler?

Natalie must have still been hungry after we finished eating. She got a hold of the plate of leftover hamburger patties as I was clearing the table. Yum!!!

More Xrays!

Mallory hurt her hand today at volleyball practice and Joe ended up taken her to the urgent care center for xrays. They said it doesn't look broken, but we should hear more in the next two days after the radiologist takes a look at the films. Joe will be calling on Monday if we haven't heard anything. We will not have another incident like Rachel's fiasco.

Rachel & Natalie

Rachel borrows my camera all the time. She usually takes some great pictures of herself and the other kids.

Time for a Haircut?

I think it's time for Natalie to get another haircut!

Tasty Toes!

Natalie seems to love her toes.

Natalie and her Cool Cap!

Joe found Natalie sitting on the steps wearing this hat. She is such a smart little girl to actually be able to get a knit cap on her head.
