I am oficially becoming the proverbial "taxi cab" or "soccer mom". We've just been going going going since school strarted along with everything else (hence my lack of blogging). And it's only going to get busier from here on out! It's amazing in retrospect how much can happen in a month -especially when you've got THREE to keep up with...
Who remembers sponge curlers?!!! I picked these up at "Sally's" and put them to good use the night before Lexi started 1st grade and FULL school days -sigh!
The "doo" turned out darling with the touch up help of a curling iron :).
Caela's first day of dance. She was so cute and excited!
This not so little anymore sweetie also started preschool this year 3 times a week. I realized belatedly that because she's an Oct. baby she'll get two years of preschool. Oh well, she's ready and loving it.
Guess who lost her first tooth and a second one since. I asked her how much she thought the tooth fairy would give her, and she said $6 because she was six years old. Sheeze! The tooth fairy is going to be broke by the time our kids loose all their teeth!
This precious little tyke had the audacity to turn six months old on me.
He is such a happy bug, and we all just love him to pieces. I'm not anxious for his babyhood to be over and it is passing far too quickly.
He now is quite the crawling pro, can pull himself up to things and stand, loves baby food, paper and bouncing, is cutting his first tooth (bottom right), laughs heartily (my favorite thing), entertains himself well but loves for Mama to hold him, has a bit of a shy streak, AND... (pause for effect) is sleeping through the night!!! His sisters took much longer (at least over a year) so this is such a welcome blessing. He'll seriously sleep from 9:30pm til I have to wake him to take Lexi to school in the morning! This is a beautiful thing!
We attended our ward camp out last weekend. I didn't intend to stay the night with Skylar, but then decided I would so we wouldn't have to drive two cars -BIG mistake! It was a freezing cold night and Sky and I kept eachother awake ALL NIGHT! I won't ever be doing that again, but we did enjoy a great breakfast followed by fun relay races.
~The three-legged race~
~The wheel barrel race~I keep trying to savor this fastly flying phase of our lives -keep wishing I could freeze moments here and there. I guess that's what a camera and a blog are for -eh? :)

Crazy how everyone grows up so fast! Sometimes it's just not right! Everyone looks great! (campouts with kids....not my favorite either!)
Sometimes don't you wish the warp drive would stop working? They certainly are adorable, all of them even if they do keep you "full throttle ahead."
Oh my gosh! I cannot believe how big ALL of your children are! Big new phases of life for all of them... how exciting:) I can't wait to see them all!
Aw!!! I love your posts! Your kids are just so adorable! Can't believe Lexi's in first grade, Micaela's started preschool, and Skylar's already getting so big and getting around on his own! You definitely have your hands full...in a great way, of course. :)
I love Lexi's cute curly hairdo for the 1st day of school...sponge curlers are the best for sleeping on. Already in 1st grade...sheesh! And our little Micaela...in dance class and pre-school...soo cute! And Skylar! Holy cow...crawling and pulling himself up to a standing position already...and sleeping through the night!! What a precious little guy...Thanksgiving can't come soon enough till we see you guys again! Love ya!
You have such a cute fam Ang! And you can get away with your absenteeism in the blog world, just as long as you keep the updated photos coming when you do post!
ok-LOVE the sponge curlers! I've tried it with my girls and they just get mad about how uncomforable they are to sleep on :)
I sent you an email-can you keep an eye out for it? want to make sure it doesn't go to junk.
hopefully we'll see you soon in utah!
Holy cow. I can't believe how big they're all getting!! I'm so sad that I'm so far away!! :( :( :( I wish we could be close enough for monthly family get-togethers like we had growing up. I want my kids to know your kids. ACK! SAD! But your pictures are so super cute. Sky is a DOLL! Can't wait to meet him at Christmas!!!
