Finally caught a smile from Sylvie. It's with my phone, so it's not super clear...still cute, though.

Love her!

My mother-in-law and I took the kids to "The Lion King". I remember seeing it in the theater when I was younger. My kids had never seen it.



They sure enjoyed the movie. Hudson and Delaney were both 2 years old when they went to their 1st movie in the theater. Sylvie is a little spoiled. She was 5 weeks old at her 1st movie. :)

I came across this image today and totally agree with what it says. Andy and I may not travel much, drive expensive vehicles or buy everything we want...and that's okay with us. We have amazing kids.

happy girl

Little Sylvie is starting to smile!
Daddy has gotten a few little crooked smiles by tickling her.
Today, I got 3 mouth wide open, nose wrinkled up smiles.
She's growing up so quickly!.
Haven't gotten a picture of a smile yet...hopefully soon.

once again.

Ok. I am once again caught up with blog posts. I get so irritated with myself for neglecting this, but I continue to slack. I started this blog to document our lives so one day we can look back and remember these crazy, busy times in our life. I know I don't have time to scrapbook now, so this is serving that purpose. Hopefully one day I will have albums full of memories to flip through and laugh, but right now we are busy making memories, changing diapers and doing laundry! :) So, I once again will say that I hope to keep up to date with posting. We'll see...I may be too busy changing diapers.

I flew out to visit my mom. We saw so many fun things, ate a lot of yummy food and walked about a million miles! Great time!!

T-ball season was cut in half this summer because of the flood. Hudson had a great season!

August 2011 :: 1-16

Hudson was old enough to go to Vacation Bible School this year. During their performance, Hudson and another little boy laughed, wrestled and did everything but sing. Stinkers!!








Because of the flood in Minot, we haven't had much of a summer. One Saturday, we drove to Bismarck to go to the zoo. The zebras and gibbon apes from our zoo were there...the kids thought that was neat. We had a fun day!














The observation station for the prairie dogs was cool!!




This picture of Delaney cracks me up!!










Still hard to believe Hudson is going to preschool and will start Kindergarten next fall!
