1st day back to school 08/2009

I love taking the first day school pics. The kids are always sooo different by the time the school year ends. They grow so much. Here is the latest. Drake is a middle schooler now SIGH, Alex is in 4th grade and Becca and Isaac are now 2nd graders. Two different schools with two different schedules. And it now begins..

7 mo Bella and Her cousin Porter

Porter and his Mommy were able to be at the kids birthday party. It was great to have the two baby cousins together. Bella didn't like her Daddy holding another baby but didn't care if I did...HMMMMMM. I don't know if Porter was liking the dominant chica thing, but it was cute to watch. Bella also turned 7 months in July. She is finally in size 2 diapers.

Becca and Isaac turn 7!!!

Isaac and Becca had a crazy chaotic birthday party AGAIN. I swore last year I wouldn't do "that" again...I did and next year they get baptized so it will be crazy and chaotic again, I'm sure. Becca lost her 2 front teeth both on her birthday.

Fathers Day 2009 and Park pics

Phillip is a wonderful Dad. He deserves so much. Phillip went to the park with the kids and his step dad Gordon.

Bella 6 months

Bella is growing so fast. At her check up she was 14 1/2 pounds (25%) and 27 1/2 inches (90%) She is such a joy to our family.Rachael took awesome pics as usual and you will be able to tell which ones I took. Bella got her ears pierced on her 6 mo bday too. She doesn't love them as much as I do yet.

Estes Park June 2009

We went to Estes Park in June and it was beautiful. We all had so much fun. We rode the Ariel trams and fed the chipmunks saw lots of Elk and visited the Stanley Hotel. We all voted to go back soon for a family vacation. It is close enough to home but far enough away to vacation. I can't wait to go back.

Drake's 5th grade graduation

Drake was so cute at his graduation. He even gave a "speech". He is growing up so fast.
