Jacob making a boomerang

Jacob woke up the other morning while we were all in bed and made his own video for youtube on how to make a paper boomerang. It was so fun to watch it. I smiled the whole time watching it because he is so cute in it. He makes paper boomerangs all the time. We have them all over the house. He wants everybody to watch it so he can have tons of hits on youtube.

Kids Playing

The weather has been so nice outside that the kids have been playing for hours outside each day.  It has been so nice for everybody.  Averien and Kaelen have really been enjoying being outside.  Averien loves playing on her swing and jumping on the trampoline.   

While outside I brought all the kids out and took pictures of them all.  I don't have any pictures of Averien in my room or on the family room wall downstairs and the pictures of the other kids are very outdated.  I took a bunch of pictures.  Rachel's turned out beautifully, Jacob's were harder to get.  While getting Jacob's pictures, Kaelen kept throwing a ball at his head.  It was pretty funny.  I took over 50 pictures of Jacob and I think I have one or two to pick from.   I love all of these pictures of my kids.  They are all so cute and funny.

 Averien is such a sweet little girl.  She is so fun to watch.  She loves playing and is always so happy.

 The picture that says 'digitally imposed head' looks like we took Jacob's head and put it on another body.  It looks so funny. 

 Kaelen was so funny with his big smile and squinty eye's.  If you notice in a picture on the slide his bum crack.  He has no bum and so his pants are always falling down and seeing his bum crack is a normal thing everyday.  It is so funny. 

Rachel is so beautiful.  She is so photogenic.  

Averien in the tub

Averien loves taking a bath.  She is so fun to watch.  In these video's she is playing peek a boo but instead of saying boo she says "hi".  She is getting so big.   

I absolutely love the pictures of her in the tub as well.  She is such a beautiful little girl with such a great smile. 

Rachel's Ballroom Dance

Rachel is on the Sandcreek Middle school ballroom dance team.  Her coach is the high schools ballroom dance coach.  The high school wins national ballroom competitions every year.  The coach decided this year to do a team at the middle school to help them get ready for the high school team and help introduce ballroom to them.  Rachel has loved doing ballroom dance this year.  

Rachel is really good at it.  This semester she is learning 3 dances that they will perform at the end of the year with the high school ballroom dance team.  On the 23rd Rachel did a show for the retirement center near us.  The entire high school team was there as well dancing.   Rachel danced the charleston from the 1920's.  She did a really great job and looked so cute.  She usually wears high heels but because of the carpet they all had to wear flats.
