Oh the 4th child:)



So, by the time you have the 4th child, you give them just about anything to play with. I had given McKay markers to play with before. In fact, he loved gnawing on them. But this time, he somehow got the lid off. It just made me laugh!

Do The Puyallup!








Yes, we did it. It took 2 hours to get down there, but we had a lot of fun. My favorite part is unknown to me. Dave's favorite part...the pygmy goats, and the kids favorite part...well, I'll give you one guess!!

Visiting Cousins


The kids were really excited when their cousins Ryan, Avery and Sophie came to visit. We all went to the zoo and the kids played and played. Then, of course, what is a visit without a shared bubble bath?!?!? So fun!

First Day of School!



My babies continue to grow and get older and progress in school. Kiya is now in 2nd grade and Cooper started Kindergarten. Amazing!! I miss having them around all the time, as it was during the summer. Lincoln, McKay and I get to have some quality time doing younger kid things now though. I think Lincoln is starting to really enjoy that part, although he almost looks forward to his naps knowing that when he wakes up we get to go pick up Kiya and Cooper from school.

Mohawkin'



Dave Finally Did It!!! He had been threatening to give Lincoln a mohawk and finally followed through. Lincoln actually likes it much to the demise of myself. He gets looks from everbody. Mostly people smile at him.
This was almost as bad as when Dave gave Cooper a mullet however I have to admit it was pretty cute. I gave it a week and buzzed it off.



See What I mean!


Prince McKay


Kiya is always making things for McKay. One time she put a sticker right in the middle of his forehead and made me keep it there all day. This picture shows a crown she made for him, making him wear it as long as possible. He didn't seem to mind...but had no idea what would follow later.

Summer days at the park



Gotta love Seattle in the Summer!

Fun in Africa!



We got really lucky seeing the lions up so close this day at the zoo. Lincoln didn't care so much about the animals as he did about playing though!

To the beach with a broken leg.

So, we had a play date at the beach just after Lincoln broke his leg. I wasn't sure how to keep his cast dry and clean. So, I tried to cover it up with a sock. He scooted around the whole time with a track in the sand following him. At the end of the day, the cast survived with very little moisture or sand. I felt successful.

I love these boys!!


Look at how cute, sweet, ,and innocent these two look....looks can be deceiving!

First Haircut!


This is a picture of McKay's 1st haircut. I didn't really want Dave to cut it, but Dave insisted. Not much was taken off, but I have to admit that it looks better. It's just always so sad to see your baby grow up:(
