What other kids?

O.K., so since there was no love for my other angles in the last post, I've got to give them a shout out in this one. (can you tell I just got home from b-ball? Just a little ghettoooooo!)


Here's my princess Bell, defending herself against the boys:
Grandmama' sent Max's birthday present in a big ole' birthday box. Included in the box was a St. Patricks day bow. We figured it wasn't for Max, so he let Isabel have it. Here's a picture of the little angel sleeping. She fell asleep on the way home from dropping Max at school.

O.K. now here's little Joe. While at the park riding bikes, he was feeling a little left out, so he got to wear Max's helmut for a while. Oh my.
Here's a picture of him passed out. The poor boy had crazy allergies. (allergies that turned into a double ear infection by the way. Ouchie)

And here's my favorite boy...my sweet Maurice, holding our little Jo-Jo. I like this picture (Reece your hot!) but it looks like both are taking some type of drugs. Poor Jo-Jo, so sick.I just have to say....I love my family!

MAXIMUS turns 6

Well, i'm a few days late on this post, but that's o.k....right? March 17th, the day our first born entered the world. What a blessing this little boy is in our lives! I can feel my sweet baby slipping away as he grows and matures each day.
Max is a wrestling maniac. He loves to go Nacho style, and pin his dad when ever he gets the chance. Max share's a birthday with St. Patrick. So he always has to wear green on his birthday. He loves it. This year Max got to choose 2 friends from school that he would like to invite over for food and fun. He chose Micha, and Jordan from school. They couldn't come over on his actual birthday, so we had a little party on Wednesday.
Here's the cake. I tried.

Among the gifts Max received for his birthday were these:
A really cool tool set up , (Joe took advantage of Max being at school, and helped himself.)
Some cool cars pin-ups,
And a spider man bike.
Max had lots of phone calls, and cards and other cool gifts. In fact, too much to post everything. Maximus is a special boy, and he loves his family. He knows and loves his heavenly father, and we're very proud of the choices he makes. Love you bud!

St. Patricks day parade in Henderson.

Wow, what a beautiful day. Still winter here, and the sun was beating down on us. We've lived here for 3 years now and not yet attended this annual parade. Today we had nothing else better to do, so we decided to go. It was fun. Not anything like the Provo 4th of July parade, but interesting, and fun for the kids. Here are a few pictures:

Of course the carnival rides, so the parents can spend lots of money :0)

Here's my cuties, cheezin' for a photo opp.

There were several older men dressed as clowns, and doing fun stuff
This was a group of Celtic dancers (all girls)
Little Joe was content the whole hour that we were there. Just watching in amazement.
Here's a classic Isabel shot. She is always covering her ears. This time she had good reason. There were a group of Harley's that kept reving their engines. Cool but loud.

There were a few people in the parade that we know, first, the guy in the kilt is the kids doctor. Second the mayor of Henderson who is in our ward. Kinda cool for the kids to see their doctor in a skirt.












We had a good time, and now all the kids are taking a little nap so we can go to the park later. Happy St. Pati's early.

New clothes

Well Max and Isabel decided they needed some new clothes this morning. Here are a few pictures of their choices:

Isabel got dressed first... (nice hair, right???)
Max followed her lead...
And now together...
But wait there's more,

here's my absolute favorite...

...these are a pair of Reece's Jeans, they walked out like this. Hilarious!



Also, I do have pictures of Joseph, but be advised he's missing something...


...his HAIR. Joe got his first big boy hair cut today, and he was a champ, not one tear. I held his head still while Reece went at it with the clippers. I think it turned out great! The only thing is that he no longer looks like my sweet little baby.

"Oh, how sad!"

Hello!

Super cute! I wanted to take some pictures of Joseph this morning and could not get him to sit still. I was looking for something for him to play with and the best I could do was our cordless phone. He was so cute with it, he knew exactly what to do. I'll stop writing and just show you the pictures.









Hello Da-Da!














I hope you'll agree that he is the cutest telemarketer in the business!

I also took a few shots of Max and Iz yesterday, here's a few:


























Here's the two nerdy birds:
That's all folks!
