Here we find my pretty little princes dancing with her "hansun pance" which after much work in translation we figured out was her handsome prince. We had made a fort out of blankets and chairs. As I was putting away the chairs she was getting very upset. I finally figure out that I was putting away all the handsome princes. The imagination on this little one. A chair is now a prince go figure.
This is a picture of my little monkey celebrating when it we told her it was June 1st. We have a lot of family coming in June and she has been waiting for June to start her official count down.
And here we see Spencer teaching Kiersten how to be a Transformer. Little else exists in "Spencer Land" than Transformers. Kiersten is such a good sport. A dancing princess one minute and a transformer the next. She is very fun. Sometimes Spencer will even take a break and pretend to be the handsome prince. He always changes back into a transformer for the pictures. I have yet to catch the prince with my camera.
This was just so cute! One of my favorite things about living in the country is that it tends to force the kids to play together and not with friends. Kiersten in always talking about her "Best friend Shannon and her Best friend Spencer". They play so well together. They all take turns being the leader even. I am so blessed!
This is my handsome Spencer on a nice Sunday morning. Isn't he sweet!
Kiersten is such a little precious. As soon as I started taking pictures the wind picked up ofcourse and so we see the hair all over but she is still darling.
I tried putting Shannon under the swing set to block some of the wind but then the wind found us there too.
Just when the wind finally slowed down I decided to try one group photo. Cute pose but the sun was in their eyes. I was just not supposed to take pictures this day I guess.
Shannon and Kiersten and I have been very faithful followers of Dancing with the Stars. My little guilty pleasure. I found them all dressed up in their easter dresses one day praciting the things we see on the show. It was sooooo cute.
More dancing.
The Hanna Montana wig strikes again. This time turning Garrett into a star. When I first saw him with this wig he was jumping on our trampolin with the kids. I went to grab the camera and came out side just in time to see the kids jumping on him and trying to pull the wig off his head. I heard Garrett in a VERY folsetto voice saying "Ah , my hair! You're pulling my hair!". I was laughing so hard I could barely take the picture. He is such a good sport. The kids really do love their Uncle Garrett.
Here is a cute picture of Jake and Kiersten dancing. You can't see her face because she has a baby blanket on her head like a veil and she was pretending to be a bride. Oh my goodness the imagination on the one! What a good Daddy to play a long!
I put this one in twice apparently and I can't figure out how to delete it!
Kiersten was trying to get Jake to take a nap with her but she couldn't sleep through his snoring!
Just a couple of cute pictures of the kids.
I went on a field trip to the zoo with Shannon's class. We had a blast! Shannon wanted to wrestle every dangerous animal she found and bring all the cute ones home to be her pets.
Here she is wrestling a stuffed Boa in a very cute hands on section of the zoo.
We had this crazy day. The sun was shining on half the yard and raining pretty hard on the other half. Idaho weather can be so crazy! The girls decided to go play in the sunny/rainy yard and had a blast!
Spencer is watching one of our several little Transformer movies and acting it out as it goes. It cracks me up when he does this.
Look how strong Optimus is!
Spencer's favorite qoute from the real movie Transformers is "Left Cheak! Left Cheak! Left Cheak!" He was running around the house one day saying this and we couldn't figure out what is was saying. Then we watched the movie again and about laughed ourself to stitches. We have this great dvd player called "Clear Play" and I am so glad we do. It edits the movies for us and it is so fun. I am glad that we have it so that Spencer could see this movie. It is so cute watching him act it out.
Jake was laying some gravel and Spencer decided to help. I was very impressed he helped for more than an hour. Apparentally spreading gravel is great fun! We got him his very own shovel and I think that helps!
Kiersten wanted to join in the fun too!
"What's gona work? Team work!"
Fruitland did a parade. All of the first graders were Horton from "Horton hears a who?" All the different grades took a Dr. Seuss character. I may be biased but I thought the Horton's were by far the cutest.
My sweet nephey Riley came to visit and he was quite proud of all his missing teeth. I couldn't resist taking a picture of that cute crooked smile. He is such a sweet little bug.
Shortley after Shannon lost a tooth also. Look how happy she is. It is such a joy when the Tooth Fairy comes.
Jake pulled the tooth for her. He really has a good system. She doesn't even cry!
When Jake, Spencer, Cline and Garrett went to the Father's and Son's campout we decided that us girls were going to have our very own campout. Eilleen and LaNae came over to roast hotdogs and make smores.
What a yummy mess! LaNae even slept with the girls out side in the tent. I was going to and I lasted oh maybe ten minutes. I didn't put up the airmattress thinking I would be fine on the ground for one night. HA! Not even close. My bed felt especially good that night!
Spencer graduated from Preschool this year. Here he is with his teacher. He was in a Special-Ed preschool and totally did great! He has come soooooo far. He is entering Kindergarden with observation days but no special classes. We are thrilled with the school!
This is Shannon and her teacher Mrs. Beutler. Shannon absolutely loved her. She wishes that Mrs. Beutler would teach 2nd grade next year.
Here is my usual fuzzy picture. Shannonis the second one on the left. She is recieving a special award for being on of the top AR readers in her class. She loves to read and I am so proud of her. I love to see her reading except when she's supposed to be cleaning her room or taking ten minutes to set the table because she is trying to read while she set the table. Silly Goose.
