Fun?

Steve and I took the girls to a small carnival in our area. The pictures show that is was lots of fun and Whit and Belle had some pretty cool face paintings done. The reality is that I waited in line for an hour to get the girls some cotton candy and Steve waited in line for the same amount of time to get their face painted. I think they had fun... I had to take pictures to make the face painting last longer.

Here is a rare shot of Abby smiling. Not that she never smiles, but she doesn't have the patience to smile for the camera. The bottom picture is Tess. She is always happy! Just like my other children, she is still toothless and trying desperately to grow hair:)

Egg Hunting

Here are all the little ones finding Easter Eggs. We went camping out in the desert and it was still really cold, but they love being outside. Abby wore her hat the entire time and it was constantly covering one eye...funny!

Here are my girls being silly. All but Abby loves to get their picture taken. I'm not sure Tess knew what was going on. Anyhow, as you can see, Tess is quite a roly-poly, her legs are even better. She is the funnest little baby. The last picture is Whitney' Leprechaun trap that she made. She cut it and painted it all on her own. I love the fact that she misspelled "take".

Abigail's 2nd Birthday

This is the best picture I could get of her. She refused to pose for the camera. She is quite demanding... Here are some funny things about her:
-she will spend hours playing with baby dolls, just holding them
-her whisper box is broken...really...she is always loud!
-her first sentence was "open it"
-she is my most polite child: she always says thank you, sorry, and please
-she always checks her Care Bears or baby dolls to see of they're "poopy"
-she eats a lot...3 slices of pizza...2 whole hot dogs...1 1/2 sandwiches...on and on
-she knows what she wants and tries to be the boss
-you would never know she has congenital heart disease...always tough
-enjoys giving hugs and kisses

One Eye

Abs had a small eye infection and the doctor gave us some eye drops. This is what it looked like the next morning!! We drew a line around the infection to make sure it wasn't going to spread. The funny part is that she acted as though nothing was wrong and walked around smiling. I finally took her into the bathroom so she could see herself in the mirror. She said "eye, ouch!" To subdue the suspense, she is fine now...

Whitney's 7th Birthday

I know it's been 6 months since it was Whit's birthday, but at least I finally posted something. Anyhow, she wanted a Princess Dress-Up party. Here are some awesome qualities about her:
-she has lots of friends
-she is always the fastest runner in her grade at school
-she loves to paint and color (it was once her life...)
-she never hesitates to help get her sisters in the van
-she loves any holiday and creates her own way to celebrate
-she writes songs for FHE and usually has a lesson planned
-she has a great sense of humor
