What they look like today

A few pictures after church.

Eliza blue eyes is now 14 months.

 Adam- the hockey player.

Miss Dimples - Grace.

Merry, Merry - not contrary.

Jacob- foosball master.

 Eliza and Merry, they are so cute together.  I am afraid Eliza is going to be very spoiled by her older siblings.

 Or scarred for life.  I am not sure which.

Pinewood derby

Checking in his car.  It was a little heavy so we had to remove a weight. 

and the army man.  We were able to duct tape the army man back in.

Nothing says pinewood derby like a little duct tape on the car.

Awaiting the racing.

Jacob won first place with his duct tape car.  

Good job Jacob.

Eliza entertained herself by shoving strawberries in her mouth.

Yep the whole thing fits.

My Valentines

My sweet Valentines, ready for school.  

By the end of the day this is what they look like.

I love that Eliza props her feet up on the edge of tray while she eats.

Daddy Daughter Dance

The annual Daddy Daughter Dance at the elementary school.  

Even Eliza got to go.  

Happy Birthday Brian

 Nothing says happy birthday like a flame thrower.

Or watching soccer games.  

While outside taking pictures of Brian, I could not help but notice that all the kids knees looked like this.  Actually, most days they look like this.

Then I noticed Adam looking in a tunnel in the brush.

It seems that Harbor the dog made a nice tunnel so he could chase the kittens around in the brush.

Side story on Harbor- we took him to the vet and he had a microchip but the owner's # had been changed.  So I had to Facebook stalk the guy who previously owned the dog.  I could tell it was him because he had an album dedicated to this dog whose previous name was Schmitty (we had to stick with Harbor because Adam has a lisp and Schmitty and a lisp do not mix).

Any who the guy was in the military and must have got rid of the dog when he got deployed.  Grace is sure that he is a great guard dog because he used to belong to a knight (some people get knight and soldier mixed up).  The guy never answered my Facebook message so I guess Harbor ne'e Schmitty is here to stay.

All of the kids were climbing down the tunnel into the brush.

This is what is at the end of the tunnel.  A small glade of saplings- how awesome.

And some vines to pull on.

I am sure you were wondering if I climbed down the tunnel too.  I thought about it, then realized I would not fit, so I walk around to the backside through the blackberry briars.

All of the crazies.

Now you understand why bath time is at night.
