...Kyle has 4 loose teeth and they are taking forever to come out.
...Kyle will be in the advanced learning class next year based on his test scores. I'm proud of him and grateful that he has this opportunity.
...I got to go with Kyle to the zoo for his 1st grade field trip. It was great to hang out with him and see him interact with his friends. He is a friendly, out going boy. I'm glad he doesn't have my shyness.

Kyle and his cool teacher, Miss Farley

...I had a nice Mothers Day with my husband and kids presenting me with this sweet gift. (Kyle's idea :) Adam took care of the grandmother gifts too and lunch with his Mom and the salad for my Mom's dinner. I have wonderful children and husband. Too bad a was so darn hormonal that day! :) Oh and I also got to lead the primary kids in "Mother, I Love You" during sacrament. I love my calling.

...We celebrates Adi's first birthday with her this week. She did a great job decorating herself with chocolate frosting.

...I had my monthly appointment with my OB, Dr. Froerer. Everything is looking beautiful. Baby girl is active and growing well. Now if we could just settle on a name...

Dawn Dawn Got Married

The happy couple!

I made these for her reception. Kinda cute!

Dawn and Robert met online and have been joined at the hip ever since.  Dawn is happy and that makes me happy.  Keep it up, Robert!!


P.S. This was the best part of the night. Noah somehow found out that people kiss at weddings and told me on a few occasions that he didn't want to see Dawn Dawn and Robert kiss. Well, the picture below is his reaction to the big, much worried about event.  What a funny kid he is.

Happy Birthday Dear Meggie!

Oh my sweet little Meggie.  What a fun little turkey butt she is.  Look in those big brown eyes of hers; you can see both sweetness and turkey butt all at the same time! This is why we love her.  She is so full of life and happiness and bossiness and ... and...and...and...and (quoting Megs here :)... BEAUTY! I am literally obsessed with this child.

We have LOVED watching Megan grow. She is different from her mellow brothers. She bosses them around. She mothers them. She coos at them and strokes their hair when they cry. She smacks or bites them when they have something she wants. We love her.

She knows most of her ABC's and counts to 10+.  She is talking up a storm but still gets frustrated when she can't communicate exactly what she wants.
I love the way she nestles her little head in my neck when she wants to snuggle. I love how she strokes my arm while she sucks her thumb. I love that she lets me do her hair without fussing. I'm a novice so this is very helpful. I love all the chattering she does. I love that she mimics her big brothers. "Oh yeah, oh yeah."   I miss that she recently stopped doing her senorita cry. No more rolling her R's.  She want's to do everything on her own ("My turn. My turn!"). I love seeing that determination.  I love seeing the girliness come out despite the fact that she has two big brothers who shun all that is girly (oh except for the pink camera). I love that she loves dresses.

We celebrated Meggie's birthday as a family this year.  We really didn't know what Megan would like to do so... we went bowling. She loved it and even played a whole two rounds.  We took a bunch of pictures but I can't find them. (Frustration!)
She got an automatic bubble blower, a Little Mermaid micropone that she loves to yell into and a big pink camera (her brothers love it too).

....The weather has been spectacular this week. I love me some 80 degree heat.

....Kyle is diligently watering an apple seed out in the planter boxes. What a sweet boy he is.  He has been off track for the last week and a half and I've loved it.

....The kiddies got their pictures taken last week. Here's a sneak peek.

....I, apparently, am finally looking pregnant.  I am 22 weeks and people are finally willing to admit that I look pregnant.  It's funny because I am on my 4th kid and it's taken me longer to look pregnant with this baby girl than the last.  With Megan I was looking the part at more like 19 weeks.

....I hosted Bunco at my house last night. I have a lot of fun hanging out with these girls.  It was a little weirded out when I thought about the fact I'd been in this Bunco group for about 3 1/2 years!! Wow. That was quick.

.

My beautiful babies.

Dang. I may be biased about the utter beauty of these children but... I don't think so.

Oh my gosh. Look at that sweet face and the Mater teeth! Looooove.

Megan was extremely fun to watch because she is such a poser! The camera guy would tell her to put her hands and feet a certain way and if she forgot she immediately put them back in position.  There was no difficulty in getting her to smile and flirt with the camera.  My boys were also really good at smiling and just doing what was asked.

My favorite.

This kid is just getting too too big. What a handsome boy he is turning out to be.

Precious.
