We found the camera!!!!
YAHOO!
Now be prepared for an obnoxious amount of pictures from the last couple of months :)
Vivian in the bathtub
Such a silly little girl :)
My 3 older kids love to watch her splash and play in the bath.
Korby with his 2 little girls.
For one of his Christmas presents we signed up Jackson for a Chess class. He has LOVED it! His last class was last night. Here he is playing with dad while enjoying a bowl of ice cream.
Tanner got to participate in the Scout's Pinewood Derby race this year. I had never been to one before~ it was so much more official than I thought it would be.
Here is Korby and Tanner making some last minute adjustments to his car before the racing started.
Here is Tanner with his finished car. I was impressed with how much work had to go into making his car and Korby had Tanner do most of the work himself!
Tanner with his car and his trophy! He got the award for Best Craftsmanship!
Waiting at the end of the track for his race to begin. Tanner LOVED the Pinewood Derby!!!
Here is what Jackson did during the Pinewood Derby~ wrestle on the floor with one of his friends.
Vivian LOVES to be included with the big kids! Here she is brushing her teeth with everyone else!
Here are the kids Valentine's Day boxes that they made. If you click on the picture you can see more of the detail. They all did monsters, but in their own unique way.
Here was our pink Valentine's Day dinner. As tradition~ we ate by candle light. We had pink heart shaped french toast with strawberries and whipped cream with bacon and pink eggs and cherry limeade soda!
The girls love bath time! They are just learning/ figuring out how to kick their legs and splash in the tub~ it is so cute!!!
(Naomi on the right, Colette on the left)
Jackson doesn't really like to "hold" the babies. He mostly just likes them to sit on his lap. I absolutely love this picture of them smiling and looking at each other.

Tanner had an 80's party and school and Korby was loving every second of it! It was a way to relive his glory days~ we were listening to 80's music for 3 days straight and all Korby could talk about was all the cool things about the 80's.
My kids were all pretty confused about what a walk-man was :)
For Red Ribbon Week one of the days was "Crazy Hair" day. Jackson did some crazy side mohawks and random spikes, Tanner had an afro, and Shayden did side braids with balloons on the ends (Thank you Pinterest!)
BOO!!! Who ever said you shouldn't cry over spilled milk never had to dump out over 1,000 ounces of breastmilk because your garage freezer went out without you knowing it and it all spoiled :(
A random picture from Christmas (I think~ I wasn't there). I'm still not sure what the whole fascination with mustaches is, but my girls look pretty silly/cute with them :)
Jackson LOVES to read! But for some reason, this is how he prefers to do it~ silly kid!
This was taken at some point in the last couple of months, not sure when or why.
Naomi's 5 month picture with her doll!
Colette's 5 month picture with her doll!
Here are the girls practicing tummy time with their boppys.
Same picture from the front~ they are getting so good at holding their heads up!
Here is Vivian playing Peek-a-Boo with the camera.
Tanner got the Go For The Gold Award last week in his class for working so hard on his multiplication facts!
Last night Shayden and I went to New Beginnings for her! YIKES!!! When did I get that old?!? If you were to ask me I would say~ "yea, it wasn't so long ago that I was in Young Women's"
Apparently I need a reality check because it was quite a while ago and I now have a daughter almost old enough to be in the program!
Here is Shayden at New Beginnings with 2 of her best friends that will also be Beehives this year!
A last (finally) picture of what I worked on for the last 2 days. If any of you were curious what a week and a half's worth of laundry for 8 people looked like~ here it is!
11 extra large loads~ and I didn't even do the bedding :)
Phew~ that was a LOT of pictures!!!
Things are very gradually and very slowly getting back to a new normal around here.
But overall things are actually (and kind of surprisingly) going pretty well!
For the first time in almost 12 years I am being a literal "stay at home" kind of stay at home mom and I am really loving it!

Oh I am so sad you had to throw away all that milk! I'm sure you were so mad and so sad. I know how hard it is to pump for not just one, but TWO babies. It's so much work. SUCH a bummer, so sorry! But either way, all the kids are so cute, and I seriously can't believe Shayden is turning 12 this year. Wow. I remember seeing Korby outside your apartment with her just a couple days after she was born. Doesn't seem like that long ago.
I relate to the laundry! I love being a literal stay at home mom too, so much. Who knew it would be so satisfying!? Those babies, all three of them, are such cutie pies-as cute as mine. Haha. Enjoyed all the pics!
The breast milk picture makes ME want to cry! So sad...all that work...
That's a lot of laundry! Shayden is looking so grown up. So is Vivian, for that matter. I'm sad for you that your freezer went out and you lost all that milk. I think I would cry too. I'm glad things are settling into a new normal.
BTW-You are so smart to avoid church. I can't number the times we've been sick this winter. Catie just caught something for the 2nd time this month and we have officially banned church for the rest of the winter!
