Aunt Carly gave my kids a couple of dress up dresses and it has brought tons of fun to our house. Thanks Carly. Linden really wanted to be in a dress also in this picture, but I only had three. He is around too many girls.

One Saturday morning while Nate and Erin were here, Ryan and I were tending six kids. We had a great time. I love my nieces and nephews.

Isn't he just cute. He has the most kissable cheeks. He was playing with rocks.

The twins loved riding in the jeep. These two crack me up. The call each other Maggie Doodle and Sarah Babe. They are a week apart and act a lot a like and that is why we call them the twins.

Aunt Kaye came over and brought some new books for the kids. They all love reading books.

Kaye's lap wasn't big enough so we recruited Kacy to read to the boys.


Linden asked Elise to read him a book. She did a very good job and afterward told me that she had to imagine some of it. She is getting so grown up.


We went to Yellowstone last weekend with Ryan's family. It was great fun. I will probably post more pictures later, but here are the pictures with their cousins.

Here they were told to do thumbs up. I actually have several pictures of Linden attempting it and finally getting it, but this was a cute picture of all of them.
