Green tea frap, please

Ok, so it's been quite a while since I updated the blog. I guess nothing has been happening - ha! Anyway, here is a pic of Julia the other day - I got a green tea frap from Starbucks and let her try a few sips. She LOVED it.

Monkey bars

Our neighbors have a swing set that the kids and I use quite a bit. For the past couple of weeks, Grant has been trying the monkey bars but makes sure that I stay right next to him. Well last night, I guess he decided he was ready to do them alone. I was pushing Julia on the baby swing and looked over to see him go across by himself. Who would have quessed his boney arms were so strong?!?! He was so proud of himself - he kept going back and forth. After about 15 mintues, I finally got the camera so I could record it. Now all he wants to play at are playgrounds with monkey bars, which unfortunately aren't that easy to find! The three within jogging distance of our house don't have them. Guess we'll be driving to more parks.

Christmas in CF

Here are some pics from Christmas with my fam in CF. Unfortunately Lyn, Darci and I were only there for 1 day together. Or maybe that's a good thing since there are so many kids/babies now :) I can't believe I didn't get any pictures of mom and dad with the kids! We are going home again in 2 weeks - I'll be sure to get some then.

Look - all 6 grandkids in a shot! What a nice pose.

Drew and Julia playing a quiet, beautiful song.

Julia and Joel - yes, he is always this smiley!

Grant and Drew had the same pjs. They thought that was pretty neat, but saw no need to pose for a photo. Boys.

Christmas time pics

I guess I haven't posted anything since Thanksgiving! I blame it on the holiday shopping, the kids, and of course being in the first trimester. Anyway, here are some pictures from December. Grant and I made a gingerbread house - he LOVES doing that sort of thing. He did most of it himself. Also a pic of Julia with her babies. Oh how she can love on her babies, and then just as quickly throw them to the ground and step on them as she walks over. Let's hope that changes before August!
