Adelyn the climber.  So proud of herself!

 Signs of fun times!

 This sweet babe is SO sad when she has to come off the trampoline because the big kids want to jump.

 These boys left their Minecraft video game at Grandma's.  They were SO excited when Grandma mailed it back to them!!

 Sure love this place.  We put my phone in this box for the duration of our meal (easy for us!) and the whole family got free ice cream cones!!

 Eli asked if I had any good pictures of him and Reed.  I said I didn't think so and a few minutes later, Eli said, "Okay!  Take one, we're ready!" :D

 Adelyn has been a tough baby - sick lots and really fussy.  But when she's not fussy, she's cuddly and sweet.  Love her, we do!

 Gracen is a great little reader for a kindergartner!

 April Fool's Day Dinner - "cake" (meatloaf and mashed potatoes) for dinner, and "pizza" (cookies) for dinner!  So much work but SO fun!  The kids still talk about how fun it was. 

 Sweet babies!  The picture on the right was taken the night that Reed disappeared.  He went for a bike ride around the block with the big kids but he didn't come back.  We couldn't find him for the next 25 frantic minutes.  Finally I found him at the elementary school (1/2 mile away)!!  I was bawling when I found him!

 We kind of struggled to find pictures of my mom for her funeral, which made me wonder what pictures of me they would use if I were to go unexpectedly.  It'd probably have to be my Senior picture from high school :D so I'm trying to get a few more pictures of me in there.  Here's one snapped in the bathroom, right before church! :D

 Messy Addie Mae and her yogurt-loviness!

Reed went out of control on his bike going down into Rock Creek Park.  He banged up his face and hands really good.  Poor, sweet kid!

 Play group field trip to the Twin Falls airport turned out to be really cool!!

 Alden was totally spoiled by his friends on his birthday.  Everyone brought him a lego set, his favorite!!

 Eli is such a ham.  For years, cutting his hair was full of tears and crying.  Now it's full of goof.  

I'll take it!

 And now it's Reed's turn for years of harrowing haircuts.

 Sometimes we get adventurous at the grocery store.  I think trying new foods is a fun part of life.  We researched passionfruit after we bought this and figured out when and how to eat it.  Unfortunately, it wasn't sweet.

Our Twin Falls Neighborhood

We've found some fun spots in our neighborhood while we've lived here!

The dirt bike park.

 Eli doesn't come for me to comfort so much anymore so I snapped a pic quick pic of this opportunity. :)

 Running in Rock Creek Park!  Love this place.  And these pictures aren't even the beautiful half of the park!

We took a mini-family vacation to Boise one day.  We hit up a family fun center with bowling, go karts, laser tag, token games, and an indoor park.  The kids had a blast.  The boys especially loved the go-karts!  And this was the ONLY picture I took! :(

 Grandpa came to visit and brought Brooke with him!  Gracen had a blast with her.

 Looks like Grandpa and Reed wore each other out!

 One day it got quiet and I found this.  Reed had wrapped himself in a blanket, with a doll, and had fallen asleep on the floor. :)

 Momma in a picture!

 These two are freinemies.  They love to make each other cry.  But once in awhile...

 Reed fell asleep right next to Jaron while he was studying!  Reed refuses to nap so he falls asleep all over the house these days. :)

 Three little readers!!

 Green eggs and ham for Dr. Seuss' birthday.

 Gracen and her bestie from across the street, Soli, like to dress up in dance wear.  One day Reed didn't want to be left out. :D

 Adelyn's hair.  It's finally long enough to lay flat but we went through quite the stage there for awhile. :D

 Best Frienamies.  Love to play together.  Love to make each other cry.

 Waiting for the most anticipated day of the week: Garbage day.

 I have so much help in the kitchen that it's amazing I ever get anything done! :)

 One day at Fred Meyer I left the three oldest in charge of Reed in the toy aisles while I hurried to the other side of the store to get milk and eggs.  By the time I came back, Reed had opened and was playing with this sweet Lightning McQueen car. So I had to buy it. :( 

Lesson learned.

 Unfortunately this has been much of Adelyn's life.  It might be partly because she seems to have near-constant ear infections.  We just keep hoping she'll outgrow her orneriness as she grows away from babyhood!

 :)

 Adelyn is into all the girl stuff Gracen was never into.  She LOVES, loves, loves babies and stuffies. Soli, Gracen's buddy, has a lot of really nice doll stuff (her stroller is nicer than mine! :D), so Adelyn loves it when Soli comes over. 

 Reed. Naps a couple of times a week but NEVER in his bed! ("Reed, are you tired?" "Yeah, I tired." "Do you want me to put you in your bed?" "No, I no sleep!"

 For awhile there Adelyn had the cutest little habit of sitting at Jaron's feet as soon as he came through the door.  I don't know if she was trying to get him to pick her up or play or what but we thought it was funny.  Love her!
