I mean really...what can be said about this picture?

Our church has a harvest festival every year on October 31st as an alternative to Haloween. Melanie dressed up as a doctor. Mainly because she had to leave shortly after the festival started to go to work.

The girls had a blast on this slide.

Ethan had fun in the bouncing castle.

Ethan and Daddy on the hay ride.

You just have to love hearing this boy laugh and make noises.

The girls are showing off their dresses from Yap.

We took the kids to the State Fair on Thursday after we got back from Yap. This is the girls on their favorite ride, the swings.

This is Ethan under the influence of cotton candy.

Anna, Mommy & cotton candy.

Ashlyn, Mommy & cotton candy.

This was Ethan's last ride of the night. Contrary to his expression, he was having fun.

This is Anna and Ashlyn's first day at K-4. Anna seems to be taking it well. I think Ashlyn was a little embarrassed that we were taking pictures.

Anna & Ashlyn's first day of school.

Ethan said he wanted to use the big boy swing.

"Ethan, say cheese!"

Ashlyn ice skating with mommy.

So, Anna...Are you getting the hang of ice skating?

Great Grandmother Hooker.

Seeing double?

Now...that's better.

Something seems wrong here...

Our new home.

Did someone say chicken stuffed croissants?

The kids daycare had their annual "Spring Fling." The theme was Walt Disney. The girls were toy soldiers. Anna is on the right and by default Ashlyn is on the left.

I'm too cool! Those are Puma shoes that someone at church bought me. Thanks Micah & Ashley.

Sunday March the 22nd marked a year that Papa went to be with Jesus. "We miss you Papa!"

Ah...now this is comfortable.

Who has who wrapped?

Riverdance watch out!

Ethan's 1st birthday party.

Four days before Ethan turned 1, he realized that he could walk more than 3 steps at a time.

The girls were having fun while Ethan was sound asleep.

Ethan said that birthdays just wear him out. This was at the mall the night of his birthday. We had planned on letting him ride the carousel at the mall, but he was not going to have any of that.

Ethan enjoyed the girls' B-day party.

Girls' birthday party. The big 4!
