Books

Just got done reading this series. Thanks, Dantzel for sharing them with me.

White Water

Rhet and I slept in. The kids have been going to bed late and waking up later than normal- so yeah for us. After picking up a little, Rhet (not the spontaneous one, by far) says, "Let's go to the water park." So around 10 we get our bathing suits on, throw some snacks in the car, and drive to Atlanta to go to White Water Six Flags Waterpark. We stayed till it closed and got home at 11pm. I love these kind of crazy days!

Nauvoo

What do you get when you have:
- a 15 passenger bus
- 8 kids eight and under
- two families
- a week off from work
A GREAT TRIP TO NAUVOO!

We went to the Nauvoo temple

We saw the Parthenon in Nashville. We saw the Arch in St. Louis:

Thanks Ruth and David!

Good times, good times.

Boredom

I just wanted everyone to realize just how bored I can get in the day.

No more snarls, girls!

Another use for painters tape

Rolls

Pictured here is the price I paid for having a nice, peaceful time making dinner.

Ben's dinner

Instead of getting upset, comparing, reading another parenting book, or calling Supernanny...

I decided to see the humor in our tri-daily attempt to get Ben to eat normal food.

The sad thing is- this is the before AND after picture.

McDonalds Playland

It reads "Teenagers may not enter the playland".

It doesn't say anything about 31 year-olds acting like they are teenagers.

Date night

This is what a cakeball looks like when Dantzel makes it.

This is whata cakeball looks like when Adam makes it.

Regardless, we had a great double date with delicious treats and games.
Man, is it nice having family close by.

SNOW?

The snowball fort.
No, this isn't a Utah visit- it's our backyard!

Prima donnas

Tiffani made some beautiful tutu's for our beautiful princesses.

Brooke (cousin), Mara (cousin), Daisy, Alexis, and Rachel (cousin)

Lights of the South

We went to Lights of the South in December before Nicole (our exchange student) left. It was freezing but we had a great time. I took all the pictures of the family, and none of the lights. Oops.

Nicole by the lollipop Three kids having fun in the tubes.

Hayride time.
Waiting in line...again.
No, this isn't a double stroller.

Yuck.

The "boys" decided to have an egg nog show down. Ryan (Rhet's brother) won hands down!
Sick. Just plain sick.

Christmas Recorder Concert

The girls were in a Christmas Recorder concert. Just lovely, ladies. Notice the socks.
Thanks for the roses, dad.

Just having fun.

Most of these were taken by Ben-Man. Great job, Benjamin!
