Alex, Our Little Rock Band Star!

I just had a few videos to share of Alex playing Rock Band.

Scouting - A Family Affair

Wednesday evenings are big and highly anticipated at our house - at least for the boys! Quint does a great job involving and teaching boys of all ages :-)

Emeline's Baby Blessing

Quint gave Emeline a name & a blessing at church on Sunday, November 7th. He did a wonderful job and thank you to all the family there to support her. We stayed for our meetings and then had dinner back at our home. Corwin, Luke & Alex were very excited to have cousins join them for primary; they could hardly stay in their seats.

Halloween

They said they were scary, but I think Corwin, Luke & Alex were some of the cutest skeletons I've ever seen!

Quint & Emily Family Pictures

On our 18th anniversary, October 16, we went up to the church quarry for new family pictures.

Luke in Preschool

Luke goes to preschool Monday - Thursday from 12:30 - 3:30 and he loves it. We volunteer in the classroom on occasion. I went to help on October 4th and Luke was the chart caller. There are 4 groups of 4 children and this involves calling out which group goes where when they separate for centers or rotate centers. He did this about 4 times during the day and each time 2 of the groups get to choose between about 4 activities. After he would call out a group that could choose, he would turn to them and kindly pointing his finger would say "So be thinking about it". It was so cute how he would mimic how the teachers do the chart calling. There were about 5 adults in the room and we'd all stop what we were doing to watch him do the chart calling and after he would do this, we'll all smile and laugh a little. I'm so glad I got to go watch him that day.

I also wanted to post this picture of Luke getting a stuffed moose from Julie for his birthday. It's his new sleeping buddy :-)

Pictures of Emeline

I can't believe that it has been so long since I updated the blog. I don't even have pictures of Emeline - what kind of person am I. . . :-)

She is such a good little girl. All of the boys love her and love to take care of her. Corwin is very quick to help out if she cries and wants to hold her daily. Alex likes to help feed her and give her a pacifier too, but he usually tries when she's sleeping :0

Dan's Birthday

As always, your welcome to come and stay for as long as you like. Starting around 2pm we'll be playing games; Starcraft 2, Rockband 3, boardgames, whatever your ilk may be. Sandwiches at 5pm with cookies and ice cream afterward. After 7pm Toy Story 3 will be playing upstairs and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World will be screening in the home theater. My brother and his family as well as Sho, Jason & Danielle from daycare have also been invited. I have a couple books listed on Amazon.com. I'd like the Wrath of Lich King expansion for World of Warcraft. Clothes are always accepted. Or just money for some upgrades on one of my PC's. Thanks for reading this, hope you can make it. :)

Return of the Red-faced Indian!

I want to issue a blog challenge!  We had spaghetti this week and seeing Wyatt's little tomato sauce-covered face made me want to snap a few pictures.  I thought it would be fun if sometime in the next week or so, everyone made spaghetti and then took pictures of their little red-faced Indians.  Here's ours:

 

Happy Halloween!

At Wyatt's school, they had a fall carnival and made masks in art class instead of dressing up in costumes.  Wyatt decorated a dog mask.

Here is my first forray into homemade costumes.  I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out.  Wyatt won't wear socks lately and definitely won't wear a mask or gloves, but the look is pretty good.  "The Dash likes!"
