After running errands we stopped by joghurt. Yummy.

I spy with my little eye . . . Gentry found picture frames in the corner of the living room and I couldn't find her.

Tuesday May 25th 2010

Tuesday evening eating out at the Beach Pit BBQ. The kids love to run around and play with their friends. Needless to say, we take baths when we get home.

Gentry's nine-month appt. There is nothing like entertaining three little ones in a doctor's office for 25 minutes.

Sunday May 23rd 2010

Bedtime - Hadley and Vincent. (Hadley was merely under orders to lay in bed until her brother was asleep until she could come out and stay up a little later) - that didn't take long.

Saturday May 22nd 2010

Saturday afternoon I got to take Hadley and Vincent to our church's Stake production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The kids love the movie and soundtrack so it was a lot of fun to take them to a live production.

Lauren - taking a nap.

Caption: From the Inside Looking Out
(Gentry watching Vincent play tee ball longingly)
I love the big picture window that she can stand out and watch outside. Vincent enjoyed having an audience and would come up to the glass to give her kisses.

Gentry - almost exactly 9 months old. This little gal loves to be held by me so I snapped a quick picture in the morning.

Tuesday May 18th 2010

Just another typical morning breakfast - trying to keep the baby entertained and out of the way long enough to start the dishwasher.


Monday May 17th 2010

My best attempt to read library books when the baby is awake. I love reading books to the kids but I don't love being interrupted and having to fend off my lap.

Sunday May 16th 2010

I think I was more excited than anyone else about our first ripened strawberry from our garden. Actually, Gentry was pretty excited about it too, as you can see.

Saturday May 15th 2010

Lauren looking cute and ready to go. Miss Independent, she likes to dress herself and put on her own shoes - a huge feat compared to her older sister who would be content to let you dress and feed her till she's twenty.

When Chris got home from work he joined us for a walk to see the bunnies at the local elementary school. Vincent loves to ride his scooter, Lauren rides her tricycle and Hadley is happy to walk and look for treasures. Gentry is in the stroller and our friend Hallie just began her four-day stay with us while her parents were out of town.

Aunt Molly crafting with the kids at her house. The kids always beg to do crafts with her and she set up a table in the office for them. Of course, she fully participates as well. I must admit that I have learned to enjoy coloring with my kids (but only with new crayons).

Don't be fooled by this picture of Lauren. She was really sick and laid here on the couch ALL day going in and out of sleeping. She came across her sunglasses and microphone and for some reason it must have made her feel better to wear them for a bit while watching cartoons.

Here goes nothing . . .

This is my experiment to try and document our day-to-day life for a year. My hope is to have a real picture of our lives to remember this time as well as a reason to capture the mundane events that I hope to never forget about my children's lives.

I'm not quite sure how this will impact my family blog or my other personal journaling blog but figured I'd give this a try . . .
