My darlings

In their Easter finest.

Haircuts!

Liz and I took our kids to get their hair cut. They all love to sit in the fun chairs, but Thomas and Joseph both are a bit nervous about actually getting their hair cut. They both looked happy enough in their pictures.


The five kids all beautiful. (Matthew didn't get a haircut but probably wanted to.)

Sarah rides her bike!

Mike took the training wheels off the girls' bikes today. Sarah figured it out right away. You can see her big, proud grin on her face as she rode past me. She was so pleased with herself and loved that I was taking her picture.

"I'm not ready for this!" Megan was just not quite ready to let Mike let go of her yet. She just needs a little more time to think about it and I am sure she will be cruising right along with Sarah soon. He was so mad at me, because I had my foot holding his car back so I could try to take a picture.

Ski day #2

Yesterday we took the girls up for their second ski lesson with Mike. Here they are...ready to go. They're UP!
And they're down!Riding the magic carpet. They did so well at this. The beautiful view across the valley from where we were on the hill.

Mike's famous ski hat. He has taken it out of commission, so I decided to wear it that day for the sake of Chandra.
If I worked for a ski magazine this would be my "mood" shot for the day. "I'm tolddd!" I took Thomas in to warm up and eat a snack while Mike finished up with the girls. All in all, it was a great ski day for the girls. They improved a ton compared to the first day. Mike and I were both a little worried that it could take a while to teach them, but they proved us both wrong. Good job Megan and Sarah! And Thomas!

Funny sleep position

I went in to cover the girls before I went to bed and this is how I found Sarah. She was sleeping standing up, and hugging her bunny. Cracks me up.

Rainy day fun

I always like taking pictures during/right after rain storms. Sarah is on the top and Megan is on the bottom.
