The Talent Runs Deep

Here are Emma and Jacob at the family reunion doing some of their talents: Emma did a great rendition of pat your head and rub your tummy, she also did a great little magic trick. Jacob made an awesome paper airplane that flew beautifully. We had so much fun at the first family reunion the kids played tons with all the cousins and had a blast at the amusement park. It was great to catch up with everyone from out of town and hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Toran and Erin (who organized the whole thing) did a faboo job despite all of us.

In Their Sunday Best

Here is an updated picture of the kids I took today before we left for church. Enjoy!

Jacob and the Haka

Our family attended a luau last night and Jacob was able to learn how to do the Haka with some other volunteers. It was quite entertaining and I have to say Jacob showed quite of bit of talent.

I Have Teeth!!!!

You can't see it from the photo (you can only see one) but I have 3 teeth and I'm very happy about it!

BIG NEWS

I will no longer be changing three bottoms a day, we have a graduate from the Potty Training Academy (the PTA for short, oh wait that's been taken. Oh well)! Whoahoooo! I can't tell you how excited I am about this latest chapter in my life, and that right there is very sad, that having a three year old finally go potty is the highlight of my life. I'll take what I can.

Max's Surgery

Well we made it through surgery in better condition than we first thought. The surgery itself only took about 30 minutes and the recovery at the hospital was about an hour. Wow! We are blessed. Max is doing great and is healing up nicely. Here are the photos we took that day and hope this will be the last time we have a kid go through surgery! (I know FAT CHANCE.) With Max this makes three surgeries so far and I know with 4 boys that we will most likely have nice hospital stays in the future.;(

Painting the Playroom

Here are some photos of the painting we are working on in the playroom. We are trying to make it more "magical" for all the kids. Emma, Jacob, Fran (my mom) have helped me make this project a lot of fun. It is a work in progress and we have to work on it when the younger kids are distracted or asleep;)
