We have a 4 year old in the house!

Kea is such a sweet, fun, thoughtful, silly, outgoing, talented little girl. She loves the color purple, playing house, ponies, doggies, and to dance, swim, and sing. She loves people, and a soft place in her heart for babies. She is a peacemaker in our family, and is good with sharing and making others happy. Always honest, Kea will often tell-it-like-it-is, so be prepared. She has dreams of being a singer, a baker, a mommy, and a doctor. We love her so much!

Our birthday outing was miniature golfing... something Kea has planned on for a whole year!

The Goofy golfers...

Kea was a great golfer...and even got a hole in one!

We also played arcade games... a family favorite. We earned enough tickets to get poppers!

Mommy and the three little girls.

Cake time!

( Once again, we have too much fun on birthdays for me to make the beautiful cakes I always dream of. No complaints from the kids though!)

This may feel like Dejavu...but Kea wanted her video on as well. Check out Samara's face as Tino lights the candle...Ha!

Cake wish granted...She wanted a dog, and she got two of them!

Happy Birthday Kea!!!!!

It's Autumn Time!!!

October is here and we have already had such an eventful month!

With General Conference came the Southwick family and lots of cousin fun. We picked berries, made jam, watched conference, cruised the mall, and had a nice dinner all together. I was too busy having fun to take pictures though... so you will just have to believe me!

Brenna and Nani realized they had matching shirts and went twin crazy! These to were having so much fun together... everywhere they went was a party!!!

A quick family picture taken at my brothers home.

Sherelda and I got together to can applesauce and pie filling for the second year in a row. It is so fun to create something so pretty, tasty, and useful.

Samara got into the action and was so good at pulling the leftover pulp out of the machine. (This is what your kids look like when you are canning all day!

The best part...Eating it!

The Applesause Aftermath!!!

Well... I put all my girls to work and made quick work of the living room, I conquered the table that night, and Tino helped me with the kitchen on SUNDAY! I still need to mop the floor, but it was all worth it!

Enough talk... lets see some action!

Louis and Tino finally built our garage shelves, and it was surprisingly cheap and easy! Anybody want to hire them???

Sondra had baby #5... and girl #1!

It is so fun to be an Aunty and hold these sweet little ones! In fact I like it so much that I am looking into returning to school and becoming a labor/delivery/nursery nurse!

No name yet... but I will keep you posted!

The Panty Fairy Comes to Town.

Diapers are a thing of the past around here...(except for night time of course), thanks to a visit from the cutest Panty Fairy around. Good Job Samara!
