Some recent pictures

We cleaned up in the yard recently and it looks a lot nicer. Forrest trimmed some of the spruce tree branches, and pulled out the Oregon grape. Hooray!

The boys playing catch with Daddy.

Daddy playing catch...and it looks like maybe texting too :-)
Right after Forrest got back from his business trip. Both he and Anastasia were ready for a nap.

Thanks to Holly and Bryan, we are big fans of the game Fluxx and have gotten our friends hooked on it too. :-)















































































Watching the super bowl.











This is such a classic Noelle picture! She's so full of life and bounciness!














Anastasia, sporting one of her new eye patches.

Watch This!!

A visit to Grandma Betty's

All four kids having a ride on Daddy.


















At the rest stop on the way to Grandma Betty's.




















































The kids & me with Grandma Betty :-)













Timothy took this picture.











Grandma Betty had this little plastic raccoon that Anastasia just loved...she toted it around, and she talked to it like it was a real animal.













































Grandma Betty getting to hold Anastasia on her lap.













David & Noelle on the coffee table.


















Anastasia tries to lick the camera.

















This is how you get in the rocking chair. First, you push your sister out...


















...then you climb in over the arm...


















And, Ta-da!
