I Love Laundry!

I do laundry, and mostly laundry for this baby! so first...

The many beautiful faces of Aspen...

I love taking pictures of this girl, but she will almost never look at the camera, in fact she'll never look at me if she is sitting up. She's always studying something else to the left or right. It's become a competitive game between Josh and I to try to get Aspen to look us in the eyes while we hold her up... I'm winning.




I'm so excited to have washer AND a dryer again! And my first personally owned too.

I've never been so excited to do laundry in all my life! They need a little work, but I think we got a good deal. I didn't know I could bargain until Josh refused to talk to the seller. So I had to!

A Very Kenzie Post

 It has been so cold! The college canceled school two days in a row, so we had daddy home all day! 

This is what happens when the spicket is on drip all night

At long last, we have finally put Kenzie's name on the wall!!   (It only took us 8 months...and big beds...and work being canceled for two days...)

 She decorated it this time with part of her birthday present, she insisted that the flowers be near the matching letters.

She was so happy and impressed with herself, "I got to decorate my name!", she said

(she wears the tutu every day)

To celebrate, we did a work out on our yoga mats (I completely faked working out). Kenzie has a candy cane in her mouth (found under the couch, still good!). She didn't want to set it down, so it stayed in her mouth while she got her workout on!

Sometime, I hope to post a video of Kenzie and Grant dancing to the Wii, but I'm not that blogger savvy... yet!

Big BIG Beds!

The kids were very excited to set up their big BIG beds, as Kenzie calls them. They helped, some, mostly dumped out the washers over and over. Grant was fascinated by all the tools and gizmos! It took a better part of a Saturday, but Joshua (with minimal help from me) put a bunk bed in their room.

McKenzie was very, very excited to have a "princess bed". She felt so grown up and trusted!

My fourth child had to climb up there too, you know, to test the strength of the bed...

Grant's favorite thing to do is to hang on Kenzie's bed at night and say DD, right back!! You can tell he is so comfortable on his new bed, he even got a pillow!!

I just found these pictures of Joshua and Grant, they were taken from a front door one year apart, almost to the day!

How funny is that?!?

I love how close Josh and Grant have come the past couple weeks, Grant loved having his daddy home for 3 weeks during Christmas break.
