Good Morning Sunshine...

The Earth says, "Hello."

This is what my house looks like right now, which is why I am on my computer... I do have two little boys crawling around me, but they're staying busy pulling fabric out of my sewing drawers.

Apparently I'm not very good at this blogging thing... or at least not great. :) I figured since I haven't updated in a while that I'd just post a few of the pictures that I've taken since I last posted... apparently, I've taken over 300 pictures in the two months since I wrote anything of value on here. :) Since I'm sure you don't want to see all 300 of those pictures, I've narrowed it down to 25 for you (including the pic above)... here are the highlights:

Park Day:

Dave wants to let everyone know that he does not endorse this picture, and never wants his boys dressed like little girls again... but the girls had so much fun putting headbands on them, I just had to share.

My kids are weird... And yes, C is asleep behind D... inside the couch.

Boys
Our Kohl's shopping trip. This is why it's always important to carry your camera in your purse.

Um... seriously? Our little drama queen.

Boys doing what boys are supposed to do.. playing with trucks and eating dirt.

(Insert trip to Oregon... those pics will be coming in a separate post)

Rub-a-dub-dub... 5 kids in a tub

This is what happens when K insists on staying up late with us.

Grocery shopping with 5 kids is always fun... especially when there's a sale on tortilla chips.
(Insert portrait session... K is 5 years! D is 4 years! C is 2 1/2! J1 & J2 are 9 months!... again, those pics will be in a different post)

C & D waiting for Elder "Uncle David" to arrive at the airport.

Elder Arrington (Uncle David) and D waiting for luggage.

Saying goodbye for 2 years! We got to take my brother to the MTC! Of course my kids were SOOO cooperative. (Hence the tongues sticking out & the hair covered faces.) :)

J1 didn't much like swimming at the neighbors... he wanted to stay close to mom.

J2 wanted to jump right in... which is eventually what he did. This pic was about 30 seconds before he toppled over the edge. He was just fine... a little cold, but he apparently held his breath because he didn't choke or cough at all when we pulled him out (he was only in the pool for about 10 seconds).

Jam session. Dave on the piano surrounded by his older sister and younger brothers. Jami, we miss you!!

There's just something super special about sleeping kids... especially when they fall asleep cuddling with each other.

And now we end... all my kids have awakened, and Dave even crawled out of bed and into the shower while I typed this... time to start the day. :)
