Get your motor runnin...

...head out on the highway!

Looking for adventure... or whatever comes my way!

Born to be wild!

Shaw's Twin

This totally reminds me of Finding Nemo... the fish in the tank, Deb and her sister Flo : )

Safety first.

All in a day...

All of these pics were taken today.

Honestly how fun are my kids?

I love them. 

Es-cap-e !

Today the girls were playing outside and Shaw was sitting by the back door watching and playing with some toys.  I heard a sound and looked down to see this.

Yup… he is escaping out the doggie door to play with his sisters outside. 

“What mom? I just wanted to play outside.”

Notice his one knee is not on the ground… I think the concrete is a bit rough on his knees.

 I’ve been waiting for him to figure out the doggie door.  This was him a few days ago planning his escape. 

Ov-a-lows

Marinn likes to take her clothes off.  

Today she had taken off her pants.  

My mom says to Marinn, “Get your pants back on please.” 

Marinn says, “They are not pants Mar Mar…. they are ov-a-lows.” 

Here she is in her Ov-a-lows.  

Hold Your Horses

Jessica says, "Marinn you need to hold your horses"
Marinn, "Mom, we don't have any horses."
Jessica says, "It's a metaphor Marinn, it means you need to be patient."
Marinn pauses for a moment.
She says, "They are not coming out mom.  My horses are not coming out."
Jessica giggles.

Houston... we have a tooth!

Shaw has a little tooth that just started poking through today. 

You can barely see it there on the bottom right. 

Capturing this picture took my mom tickling him while I took about 30 pictures of him squirming around.  Needless to say it's a bit of a miracle we actually got one with his tooth showing that's in focus.  

: ) 

Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers

Sophie... she's given in. She allowed Tearony and Marinn to push her around in the mini Wal-Mart cart today. Sooo funny! 

I think it's hilarious that all of them are making a similar face... including Sophie.

Can anyone say, "Strike a pose!"

A fun surprise!

The girls got a fun gift in the mail yesterday from the lovely Debbie Weigland.

The cuteness is just in endless supply. 

Excuse the scraggly hair... they had just woken up from a nap after a day at the pool.

Shaw was excited about another toy to chew on : )

Our family is so blessed to have such sweet thoughtful friends.  Thanks Debbie!

Old friends making new friends.

Some family friends from years ago came through town this past weekend.  I haven't seen them in so long.  It was nice to see them again and the kids got to meet them for the first time.

Teri, Richard, & Colten Dorchuck

The kids loved Richard's dad... Ron.

Shaw made a new friend : )

Marinn and Taurin found a new jungle gym.

This picture cracks me up.

It was such a great time with old friends : ) 

Laundry Assistant

I think the pictures speak for themselves. 

Marinn is such a good helper.
