Bro Time

Brothers don't shake hands! Brothers HUG! These boys of mine our too cuddly!! I just love them. I hope they remember how much they love each other when they are all teenagers!

First attempt at feeding Ashton

We thought Ashton was ready for some real food but this attempt at feeding him turned into hours of gassy pain for our little precious! He has been back on the breast milk only diet since then. We have tried a few different foods but he hasn't taken to any yet so we will wait for a while longer.

Football 2009

Putters was a great spot for the award banquet to close out the 2009 football season. Every year has been more exciting than the last. We can't wait until next fall to see how much Alex has improved.

Allison in the Park 2009

Of course Allison loved having her picture taken (Diva!).

Alex at the Park 2009

Sharon came over earlier this summer and took pictures of all the kids. She always does such a great job. Alex was the least into the picture taking of all the cousins but Sharon was able to capture him and his personality perfectly. There are so many pictures I am making collages to get more on the blog a little easier. I love the mohawks for the summer. The appropriate school haircuts are back though just in time for school next week. Thanks Sharon for a great afternoon.

Family Picture Time 2009

We had another great photo session today! What a great surprise. Andrew lasted just long enough to get all the pictures I wanted. We have left other sessions with only one decent picture and Alex and Allison in tears when they were Drew's age. It was like striking gold two days in a row! I definately need to go back to that picture lady at Sear's the kids loved her. Enjoy the pictures. I have the CD so if anyone wants any let me know... of course I already bought ones for grandparents.

Ashton's 3 month pictures

Ashton was great for his first professional photo session. We took like 30 pictures....each one cuter than the last and it took only 10 minutes. Here are a few of the favorites. We are taking all the kids in today and I hope it goes as smoothly but somehow I think it will not!

Scandinavian Fest 2009

This was our first year going to the Scandinavian Festival in Junction City. We had a ton of fun. The kids got to learn some new dances and eat yummy food. We watched some Danish dancers and a rock'n men's choir. We enjoyed one of the town's museums too. This will definitely be on our agenda next year.
