Kid worthy pictures.

 Don't you just hate it when you find you camera in the hand of one of your children only to find about a hundred shots of randomness?  Then you feel the pressure to look through all of them to see if there are any worth keeping.  The only good that comes from this is a good laugh and perhaps an interesting post on your blog, and then it is the final delete and everyone is happy again.  Thank goodness for digital... huh?

Mother's day at my house!

 We hosted the Mother's Day celebration at my house this year.  Dustin made the spaghetti, and everyone else contributed to the meal.  We don't do this very often anymore, so it was nice to have everyone together.  We had performances by the Sellers' children which always makes for a good time.  We wish everyone could have been here!

Everyone watching the children perform.

My Dad and Preslee playing her cello. 

It is always during a holiday like Mother's Day that my husband asks me, "why are you so weird?"  I gotta say that I am not a huge fan of this holiday, not because I don't feel incredibly loved, it just because I don't need a special day to know I'm important.  "Every kiss (should not) begin with Kay"  And chocolate does not make me feel as good as a nice walk.  And what is with this holiday being on a Sunday?  It should be on a MONDAY!  So my husband and I got a good chuckle when I told him that because he didn't get me flowers and buy me a diamond bracelet with a box of chocolates I could not possibly feel satisfied with this day and he was failing miserably.  Then he let me help in the kitchen while I let him cook because it was after all mother's day and I wouldn't feel motherly if I wasn't in the kitchen, and Dustin wouldn't feel right to not be in the kitchen too.... We are a good team!!!!  My kids made me the cutest little cards and poems which make all the hub bub about this day darn worth it...  So next year I'll try not to be so weird and just enjoy my bacon in bed.

Easter Fun!

Who knew they liked this?
Preslee the artist.



Aren't they fabulous?
Londyn LOVED it!
 Saturday morning was jam packed for us, but the afternoon was pure leisure, so we dyed our eggs at home and had a WONDERFUL time.  I think I may do it this way from now on.   Easter dinner on Sunday was at the Seller's this year.  The kids were loud and hyped on candy, or they were just really happy to see one another.....  But they all got along and they are making wonderful memories with their cousins.

You might be an Oregonian if...............

The first sunny day of the year and you are pulling off your shirt, rolling up your jeans and laying outside hoping for some sort of tan.

The New Park

I failed to take pictures of the new park... but here are a few of my cute kids playing at it. 

My girls....
My boys who made friends with four 12-13 year old girls.  You should have heard those girls giggle and squeel at each thing my little boys had to say.
The boys pushing those girls on some big spinning thing.  This is a spinning park.  One could make themselves sick here!

Mommy and the baby.... Momma needs some SUN!

Happy New Year's Birthday!

 What can I say... we know how to party!  This was our Birthday Party/New Years Eve Party for Baby Girl.  I will never need another party on this day of the year again because now we will be throwing the parties!  Yay! for fun birthdays!  We made eggrolls, orange chicken, and california rolls for the occasion.  My Uncle Don wanted to get Londyn an ice cream cake, otherwise it would have been cupcakes.  Thanks Uncle Don for making our celebration more special.
