Just some pictures so you can see what our life is up to. We do not blog very much but like to post when we can. Ben and Eli are growing up so fast. Ben is now 5 and Eli is 1. Scott got a new car and Ben is getting ready for Kindergarten by writing his letters, we still do not know if he is left handed or right as half the letters are done by his left hand and the others done be his right.

Just wanted to post a few pictures of things going one in our house. First is Ben feeding Eli his first bowl of cereal, and as can be seen, Eli is not liking it so much. (neither did I) I have to say baby food is so bland and needs some salt and pepper, with a bit of bar b q sause.

Ben and Eli had a sleep over when we went on vacation to the "Vacation House" in St. George. The whloe family was there and we had a great time. I even went golfing and beat my self up just a bit.

When we were in St. George we also went to this place called a bouncie house, it is full of blow up slides and things to bounce on.

Eli is now 18 lbs and real sick with broncough (I made that up) He has not been sick till now, but that is part of life. Can not prevent it as Annalee and I have been sick as well with the same thing. Ben is still growing and his vocabulary is becomming very cute. He has a great intelect and is witty in what he says, it is funny.

Wow are things ever changing. Ben has been in school now for 3 months, Eli is sitting up and eating cereal, Scott is still talking to the dead, and Annalee is trying ever so hard to keep up with the boys. I have to say that she does a great job.

I don't post too often cause there is too much fun being had in our home.

Hello from the ones that don't blog that often,

We are just settling in the new house trying to grasp the reality of the payment. We were lucky to have had free rent in Washington. The job for Scott is going well and Annalee loves staying home with "The Ben". We are waiting for Ben's sisters to arrive sometime in the future, but not any news yet. Hope all is well with you.

MOVED AGAIN!!

2008-09-16T18:06:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to let you all know that we moved to Utah again. We searched long and hard to find a place in Washington but alas we were lead back to Utah. Family is here and the job is a great one. I work for Lindquist Mortuaries in Ogden, and it is working out well. We got a town house in Roy, it is close to work about ten minuets. We love it here and the kitchen, well it is why we got the house. We will post soon. Scott

Fun with cousins!

Ryland and Kiana came for a visit, and boy did we have fun! Ben was so excited to see them at the airport. We came home and had "sea-monsters" for dinner. We told them on the ride home that that was what we were having for dinner. Ryland put up a fight (who wouldn't?) but Kiana politely said, "I'll try it, but if I don't like it I would like something else to eat." Funny Funny! Well, much to their relief, "sea-monster" turned out to be hot dogs cut up like and octopus. They all had a fun time playing around. Especially jumping on the bed and hiding under the covers.....thus the picture of Ben up-side down. We also took a train ride up to Mt. Hood. We all really enjoyed that! The scenery was beautiful! It was sunny, but cold....as evidenced by Scott's picture. We had a great time anyway!

Things That Grow

2008-04-15T23:31:00.001-07:00

It was one thing I have always wanted to do, slosh in the mud. I do not think it was so much the mud that made this trip so fun as it was seeing the great inspiring eyes of Annalee. She glanced with that smile of pure gratitude that such flowers were created as though they were created just for her. It was an event that helped me to understand why she wants so many of the great Holland flowers everywhere in our yard, pending we have a house, and if not, then pots for the 100 bulbs we bought.

Parenting Moments

We went to the beach at Seaside, OR over spring break thinking that "The Beach, Warm!" HAHAHA! We were driving back from Seattle in a great snow storm. The snow was a freak thing this late in the season, and to our amazement it was snowing all the way from Seattle to the beach. Needless to say it was not warm in the slightest. Ben came over to us after running after the seagulls and said "...too cold go to Ben's' car get 'woime' (warm). Dad go to Ben's' house too cold..." and started to walk off. In the post prior I commented on how it takes thousands of pictures to get the one that you need, well this was one of the times when the picture came the first time, it captures the urgency of the situation. This has become my favorite picture of Ben as it reflects his need for my protection as his father.

Way Too Cute!!

Why does it take 300 pictures to get one that works? It is funny to hear Annalee say "Ben over here, no you silly say cheese, not that way right here at the camera...." Then we have all theese pictures that mean nothing to you, but mean the world to us. Good thing we have digital cameras now, could you imagine the cost of film?
