Hannah's bday!

Hannah is so excited!! She is now 5! She is so excited to go to kindergarten this fall.

Puppy-dog Emily. She'll sometimes shove a blanket or toy in her mouth and let it hang. Funny kid.

Ashley looks like shes practicing for her birthday by taking huge breaths.

Emily loved her mini ice cream cone. She was sucking as quickly as she could.

March

Cute Emily in doggy-ears! Megan took this picture.

The girls got tennis rackets and balls for Christmas, so we went to the high school today to play (attempt to play at least :-) ). I forgot my camera, and my phone died right after we got there, so we took pictures when we got back. It was a lot of fun. Nicole looked like she was trying to catch butterflies and Hannah reminded me of a ballerina with her cute pirouette serves.

More February

Happy Birthday Jess!! I'm surprised I had enough candles.

He blew them all out in one breath.

We bundled Emily up (notice the sock on her hand :-) ) and went for a walk around the golf course trail.

Jess and Megan off to go skiing.

After Megan's school performance. Her class demonstrated the phases of the moon. Megan danced in black lights as stars.

Megan took these pictures of Emily. This was her first pony-tail.

Big girl is sitting up. She does pretty well, but sometimes gets distracted, so I like to either sit behind her or put blankets behind her just in case.

Megan and Emily.

February

The girls are collecting snow for their snow ball fight.

New Olympic sport--snow tennis.

Making Valentine boxes for school.

Hang on Emily!! (Jess has her on his back).

We walked to the H.S. track.

The girls with their cousins posing.

Emily peacefully fell asleep on Jess.

Megan went skiing!! Jess took her to Sundance. They both had a lot of fun.

January

Ashley sledding.

Megan and Hannah.

Sweet Emily slept while we sledded. Nyssa, Ashley and I rolled down the hill. So fun!! I was laughing so hard and was dizzy so I couldn't get up. Megan and Hannah took that opportunity to try to run me over with the green sled. :-)

Nyssa tackling Nicole.

Nyssa's influence :-)

Emily's 1st solid food. Yummy, runny rice cereal.

October Part II

We went to the park and took a lot of pictures (over 180!).

Halloween!!

My Aunt Barbara and Uncle Mike came to visit from Oklahoma. Barbara made the Raggety-Ann and Andy costumes. She has also sewn a doll for each of the girls--they are so cute, I'll have to post a picture sometime.
