don't blink

just like that you're 6 years old and you take a nap
wake up and your 25 and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife.
don't blink.
you just might miss your babies growing like mine did. turning in to moms and dads....


ethan enters sunbeams and loves it. finally, he's big now....and man can that child sing!!! he knows songs i haven't even heard of before and he's on pitch too! we had a minor injustice/meltdown before church thus explaining the puffy eyes

a Child of God crown makes it all better...

he really is a goofball

a somewhat genuine smile from caleb

with grandpa being so sick this last month my boys were glad to get to see their grandpa more often. they loved it even if it was not for fun reasons.

ethan has mad hair skills. you know you wish yours was as cool

can't resist the boys in the tub

especially since its not too long before someone starts splashing and they all get taken out to save the bathroom floor.

day hike up the mountain. we are so excited to go back this month when all the cactus start to bloom. we've had a wet winter so i'm sure it will be gorgeous--nothing like the desert when it blooms. stay tuned for those pics...maybe early april

little ones went around, caleb and i went over the mountain. here's us on top with my mad picture taking skills.

ethan is the slowest eater alive. he has barely started when everyone else is done. then he is busy watching us all and won't eat. jeremy introduced the chair of shame. where he gets put when he has to finish eating...ethan is not a fan, can you tell?

garet is our little tsunami. the kid is crazy nuts!!! he dumped part of a bag of flour on the floor. when i told him to clean it up, this is what he came up with.

how can you get mad, he's so cute!!??

here's my original family, aren't we cute?!?

here's us now. amazing how we've grown

we were fortunate with grandpa's services to get to have a lot of company over a lot. it was so fun to get to spend time with everyone. of course, we didn't take the camera out for most of that fun, but it was great. here is grandma taking the kid's orders

and here is our new project. looks good huh?

yum yum!!!

if you're gonna work so hard, at least you should get to play hard afterwards
rock on

and a day in these boy's lives leaves them knocked out pretty easily. they are so sweet when they sleep...




best start putting the first things first.
cause when your hour glass runs out of sand, you can't flip it over start again.
take every breath God gives you for what its worth and
don't blink...
trust me friend 100 years goes faster than you think, so
don't blink
life goes faster than you think
DON'T BLINK!
