Family Pics minus Jordan

A friend of my sister who has recently started up a photography business wanted to have some experience with taking pictures of those who have darker skin, so she wanted to take some pictures of my my family while I have been here in Boise. Jordan is not her with us, so I was sad he couldn't be in the photos, however, we got some awesome pictures of our kids. Thanks so much Jaime! Her business is called Swan Falls Photography.

May 2010

My kids love being outside and had a lot of fun playing in the water this month.

This is them trying to drink the water


Ava kills me, she loves being splashed and having the water fall
all over her face. She is a dare devil compared to the boys. When we go to the splash parks, she just runs all through it, Ayden and Gavin are still just getting use to it. Hopefully they will learn from her!



Easton has had a lot of fun in the water. The first time I tried, he wasn't interested, but a few days later it happened to be on a cooler day and the water was cold, and that happened to be the day he decided he liked splashing and has loved it ever since.


The boys love playing the the hose, they have learned to share and hold it together, but it doesn't always last too long


Ava has become quit the book reader along with our Ayden and Gavin. Whenever we have a book in our hands the we are reading to the boys, Ava runs over and wants to join in. She knows she is the princess and has to be the one sitting on our lap.




There is a school right behind our house which is great, it makes for a great play ground we can go to that is walking distance, these days it is a lot of work to get to a park with all my young kids by myself.




I swear the wagon is Aydens favorite toy. He crams it full of toys, and not the little ones, the big ones (scooters, his lawn mower, the little sit push bikes for Ava, etc.) and hauls it out front. When anyone wants a ride, he will gladly push, or pull!



I swear it feels like the "having two babies at the same time stage" will never end! But aren't they cute!


Eating popsicles and walking up and down the block is their favorite event.


My multi talented boys brushing their teeth and cleaning windows, who would have thought?!


Gavin has more calm moments than Ayden and loves to color and show us how great he did. Ayden will always join in for a moment or two so he can chew off the tops of markers, color on anything other than a coloring book, or to eat some tasty crayons, oh and throwing them everywhere is also fun for him as well!


Eastons very sad, but cute face. He usually does not make this face in the tub, it just happens when he gets out.


Ayden and Gavin love Easton and do a great job of making him laugh, especially in the car. They try really hard to play with him, it will be fun to see them all interact as they all get older.



We have to get a "sling picture" of all of our kids. They all practically lived in it at one time or another!

Some cute videos of my kids and their awesome dance skills




So, this is mothers day. How sad that I had no pictures with my kids. This was taken late at night so we had a little bit of a remembrance of this mothers day, this was the gift I got, I love it!! I needed this for my car!
