Brotherly Love

Annie has these boys of mine wrapped
around her little finger.
Between Preston and Wesley she is
smothered with hugs and kisses.






HaLloWeEn

From the design to grabbing the goop out of
the middle it was an experience.
Preston
Loves super heros.
He tried the costume on everyday.

Boba Fett
Wesley knew what he would be since last year.

He loves Starwars.

Ariel
Riley loved being Ariel.
Her favorite part was having red hair for two days.

The clown
Annie can't hold her own head up by herself ,
let alone this clown hat. She was the bobble head of the night

A bunch of characters.

Bumble

One Sunday the kids found the bumble chair
and wanted to see if Annie could sit up in it.
She really liked it the first time.
Group shot! With the wonder chair.
Annie is not crying and she is not being held.
The excitement has worn off after the 5th time.
Annie doesn't know if she loves it.

Now she hates it.

The love has gone!

Get me out of here!

And now we have 4


I just can not believe that we have four children. I count them everyday in disbelief. Time is moving so fast for me. My oldest is in fourth grade and the youngest is two months. Crazy!

I love them all! We have so many fun times together.

Pictures of ANNIE

I had the hardest time deciding which ones to show.
Here are a few. (A few too many maybe)
She is 5 weeks.





















Grandparents are so Special

Annie got to meet so many of her grandparents these past few weeks.
Everyone of them loved her and held her.
It is so special to be able to get pictures with them.
We love to visit them when we are in town. It is a highlight!
We love them so much and we owe everything to them.

Annie couldn't take her eyes off of Great-Grandma Madsen.
We learned on our visit that there is a distant aunt that is named Annie.
Grandma Madsen always has the kids one of her famous cookies
waiting in the cookie jar for them. After a hello kiss and hug they
go right for the cookie jar.

Great-Grandpa and Grandma Mower. Are so sweet to us!
There is always something new for the kids to explore on the far.
Grandma is always laughing and telling funny jokes.
Grandpa is such a sweet man.
The way he looks at Grandma with love and helps
her is the way that I hope I am treated after so many years of marriage.

Grandpa and Grandma Mortimer.
They are such great examples of unselfishness.
They are such wonderful people.
Growing up they gave of everything unconditionally.
Their example helped me gain a testimony that the
Lord will always be there for you if you just put your trust in him.

Grandma Madsen.
Grandpa Madsen had to leave too soon to get a picture.
I will get one though, and replace this one.
I promise. What an amazing couple!
They are hard working and very fun loving.

Annie's Blessing

Annie's Blessing was wonderful!
We blessed her on September 20.
We had so much support from our families.

Preston's First Day

Preston's first day of preschool.

He loves school. He is a character!

I would know because I am his teacher.

Little Helper

I came down the stairs and found Preston.
I asked him what he was doing and he said,
"I helping Mommy."



He sure did help, emptying a Windex bottle.
Too cute!

Look what is missing

Riley has lost her first tooth and she was so excited.
It only took her two months to pull it out.
Her hand was in her mouth constantly.
I am surprised that she never got sick
The tooth fairy visited and left some money.
In the morning she said, "look the tooth fairy found me."
Baby teeth are weird looking. The root was so long.
No wonder the tooth took two months to come out.

Best Friends

Best Friends, we all have them in our lives.
Preston is lucky to have found his so young.
These two are just the best of friends.
They both love cars and are just silly together.
They both bring out the crazy side of each other.





Everyone needs a buddy!
