Nighttime Routine

Here are some pictures when we were getting the kids ready to go to bed. They have had their bath, their teeth brushed and are now sitting down for story and sing time. We sing a song, read a book, read a verse of scripture, say prayer and then put them in their beds. Gracie and Morgan now share a bed and usually stay in bed. Joshua and Jaxen are now in toddler beds and tend to cry and fight going to bed. In fact, tonight Jaxen has fallen asleep in front of his door where he was crying to come out and play. I don't like hearing him cry, but if I let him stay up then they all want to stay up and I need that nighttime quiet time.

Swim Goggles aren't just for Swimming

We have two pair of goggles that we have found and someone might have left behind? Actually, I'm not sure how we got them. Ryan probably does. Anyway, they love to wear them around the house and are always fighting over them. Here are pictures of the kids showing off their wonderful goggles.

Computer Problems again.

I have been trying to update our blog for a couple of weeks, but for some reason my computer will not let me log on to upload pictures. So I gave up and used Ryan's laptop computer from work. Here are some pictures of the kids cheesing it up for the camera. Whenever the camera comes out, they all want their picture taken.

Kids in Quadruplicate

Here are some pictures of Morgan, Jaxen Joshua and Gracie. Quadruple the trouble.


The kids playing in Rachel's room. Jaxen and Gracie thought it would be fun to sit on the little end table that usually holds diapers and wipes.


The triplets sitting in timeout after coloring on a few items around the house.


Here is a picture of the garbage can they decided to color on.


The kids love to look out the window when it is open and see what is going on outside.

Princess Rachel

Here are some random pictures of Rachel. She is just too cute.


Rachel can now see out the window when standing up. She loves to watch for Daddy and gets upset when he leaves, but runs to the window to say goodbye.


After church last sunday, Rachel fell asleep while eating. I think this is the first time I've had a baby fall asleep in their booster chair. Ryan couldn't resist taking these pictures.




Here is Rachel with her first set of piggy tails. She just had to show off.

First Day Of School

Today was the first day of school for Morgan. Joshua and Gracie had toddler group which started yesterday. Here are the photos of them dressed in school clothes. It has been a little chilly here the last few days, so they got to wear warmer clothes.


Morgan in front of our house. She was closing her eyes because the sun was too brite.

Our 1 Year Old Princess

Rachel had a fun 1st Birthday. Zach and Lori's family, the Gotschall's, Bob and Jessie Mortensen, and the Thompsons all came over to celebrate. She had fun opening gifts and eating cake. Jaxen and Joshua loved it too. They tried to eat the whole cake themselves.


Rachel in her #1 princess shirt mommy bought her to wear on her special day.

Gracie loves books and she really loved the books Rachel got for her birthday.


Jaxen wanted Rachel's play phone and just couldn't put it down.
