Are You Ready???

Are you ready for a picture overload??? We have been pretty busy over the last couple weeks...
First of all, my sister came up with her hubby and 4 kids for a whole week!!! Bria was the oldest:o) So, we basically had 4 sets of twins...and they had A LOT of fun!!!

The kids put on a super cute play for us where they were all in a burning home, and Kale came to the rescue as the firefighter, and Terryn was the dog...go figure:o) Then, they somehow ended up in the jungle...it was cute!

We had to have dinner "picnic style" cuz there were SO many little ones. Blythe and I just laughed cuz it was sooooo loud!!! We "shhhhhushed" them all dinner:o)
We enjoyed the perfect snow storm...Tons of snow that we built a snowman with, made a sledding hill, ate, and played in briefly Then...it melted away...
Bria, Micah and Peyton thought it was a really good idea to go in the waterfall water nastyness in their snowsuits, then jump on the tramp.
For Micah...it was only fun until he started to freeze:o)

We all played on the Wii...

Cuddled Josiah...

And went to the Children's Museum...

The one super windy day, I helped Teryn fly a kite...
Here I am with my cute sister, Blythe...right before they left. Booooo! Come back soon:o)

Then, it was birthday time. We took the kids over to CPK for Damon's mom's birthday.
Do you love the HUGE cupcake? Happy Birthday Jennifer!!!

Last Sunday, Damon took the kids for a walk, and little Josiah fell asleep in the stroller. Isn't he adorable?!?!

And for some reason, he broke out with a heat rash on Monday...poor thing! I really wish Mother Nature would make up her mind!!!

Monday was also an evenful day for Colton. He got his big cast off!!! WOO HOO! The doctor almost let him come home without another one on, but when Colton wouldn't put pressure on his foot, we all thought a smaller one would be a great idea!
Thank goodness we got this one off because it was getting all torn up on the bottom! It was ripping up carpet and scratching up our furniture...just look at it...

Here he is getting the cast off...He was laughing the whole time cuz "it tickles"!!!

All done! Colton mentioned that he's is "growing up into a daddy because he has a hairy leg":o) It took him forever to be able to bend his knee!

Getting a smaller cast on...and he chose red!!!
I love this picture of him in his new cast...

One more week and we'll be cast free!
Here are some more pictures of Josiah at his 6 month mark...

In his first hat on a beautiful day, spent at the Nelsons...thanks Amy!

Soccer Saturday came and went...Micah's game was first and I got a shot of him shooting a goal:o) Way to go Micah!

Here are our soccer stars...makes me happy!!!

The Soccer-watching posse... Grandma Carmen, Jennifer and Cass...Oh Grandma...I could watch and listen to you forever and be completely entertained!!!

After soccer, we had an indoor picnic at our place. It was great to spend some time with Grandma Carmen before she headed back to California! Even though this picture is blurry, I LOVE it!!!

Here's Josiah with Papa Cass and Grandma Jenny...
And all the kids with Grandma Carmen...
This was cute...Grandma was teaching Colton how to blow bubbles "really slow"...
Bria ran into me and said, "Mom...Colton and Grandma are blowing bubbles in the house!" Grandma told her, "Bria, we're not in the house, we're in the garden. Would you like to blow bubbles with us in the garden???" (we're growing plants in the window sill) She also kept telling us that she was gonna go "sit in the garden"...It was so funny!
Oh how we love company! We miss you all!!!

I love the garden comments- what a fun grandma! Oh how we all love company. Glad to hear it went well!

PHEW! That was a lot of fun stuff. You are always so good at letting everyone come and party with you guys. You are the BEST hostess because you just love all over everyone and never seem stressed out. I can't wait to come visit again soon.

The red cast is ROCKIN'!

Looks like so much fun! SO funny about grandma and the garden!! Can we be your company in a couple weeks? Can't wait to see you all!!

Fun stuff! Can you believe that we haven't seen Colton's cast? (We need to get together sometime.)Poor Josiah, that rash looks very irritating. When did Blythe come down? We were either lazy or in California, but we still saw them while we were in California!

We had a blast!! You need to send me all the pictures, since my camera apparently DID NOT WORK!!:o(
We needed to take more of me and you though, because if that was the best picture you had-it is pretty sad.
Your blog makes me wanna have ablog to keep track of everything we do as a family and funny stages the kids are at...maybe one day!
Love Ya!
