Walking the dog through the park.

Off to stop the bad guys.

Practicing my Lasso skills.

"Yee Haa!"

Brigham the Builder!

"Can he fix it?  YES HE CAN!"

Fighting the bad guy.

Just some silly ones.

The slinky.

"Brigham is out! Peace!"

Brigham at 6 months!

I can't believe this little guy is already so big!  He's 20 lbs, and off the charts, or atleast at the tippy-top for height, weight, head....  He's super healthy, and super cute.  You couldn't have a better baby.  He sleeps through the night, and doesn't need to be held all the time.  I guess he has plenty of brothers and sisters to keep him entertained.  He's rolling over, but no crawling yet.  I'm realizing that I better go back through and baby-proof the house.  What a blessing he is in our home.  We love you Brigham Micheal.

Hot Chocolate Anyone?

Josh's first Pine Wood Derby!

 Josh's car did awesome!!!  He won every race, but one at the end, so he came in officially at second place!  Pretty good for your first pine wood derby!  He was having a blast!  It was a lot of fun!

PREPERATIONS:  Jared helped, but Josh did have to do alot of the work to get his car ready.  I think that is part of the fun.

He named his car: "Thunderfield"!   I love it.  That kids is so creative.  Especially when it comes to naming things.  He had several other great ideas before settling on that one.  He could name race horses!  :) 
We love Josh, and we are happy that he had a fun time making and racing his car.  We will look forward to next year!

"Hello, Happy Happiness....."

Too Cute!

Too Happy!

"Like a Samurai, who makes PIE!"

After 10 years of marraige, I finally made Jared a PIE!  Apparently it was right around national "pi day"... go figure.  But that was not why I made the pie.  I made the pie, because we had some nieghborhood children come around selling pies for $15.  I didn't really like their "cause", and didn't think it would be responsible to spend $15 on a pie right now anyway.  But when I told Jared about it, he was like, "Pie...Yum...we should have bought one..."  So I decided it was time.  I would make him a pie.  It helped that the grocery store we visited that night, had the kind of apples that we needed to make a good pie (according to Linda.  Which would be ROME apples.)  So the next day... we had apple pie.  It wasn't that hard.  It is just that, while I do like pie, it is not my favorite dessert, and Linda was always making them anyway, so I just never made one.  I think I will be making them more often though now.  I would also like to experiment with some home made "pop-tart" type things.  Putting jams and stuff in them.  Yum!  

(And if you aren't a parent who's seen Backyardigans, which is the picture above, then: it is a super cute show that has an episode about samuri's who make pies.  It is one of our favorite episodes, and it has a really fun, catchy song about pies....which I was singing a lot while making the pie.  I guess I am a "pie master" now.)  I know it will make Jared happy!

"I love you!"

"Yes I do!"

Brighams first taste of FOOD!

Yum!  I just can't believe my baby is growing so big...SO FAST!

"We're going on a trip!"

I know.... Random.  But I thought this pic was funny.  It sort of captures the kind of play that goes on around here.  There's a My Little Pony, June (and Leo's in the back seat, but you can't see him), and Mario.  Awesome.

Field trip to the fire station.
