Heather is a Yellow Crayon.

***You Are a Yellow Crayon***
Your world is colored with happy, warm, fun colors.You have a thoughtful and wise way about you. Some people might even consider you a genius.Charming and eloquent, you are able to get people to do things your way.While you seem spontaneous and free wheeling, you are calculating to the extreme.
Your color wheel opposite is purple. You both are charismatic leaders, but purple people act like you have no depth.
What Color Crayon Are You?http://www.blogthings.com/whatcolorcrayonareyouquiz/

do you ever ask your children, "What did you do today?" They usually answer by saying, "I don't know." We decided to post pictures of some of our favorite things to do. The one above is Sierra holding her bunny.

swim (taken in mid-September)

Dallin is often seen playing (destroying) the
computer


Matthew's imagination is still alive
and well. This is a picture of him
being a cowboy - just because.



Scott is one tough five year old


Scotty fell and broke his arm while playing with friends at Sierra's soccer game. He had to start school with a bright blue cast. He is such a brave boy. He hardly cried, and never complained about having to wear a cast. He learned quickly that a cast makes a great sword, and he never lost! He (luckily) was able to swim with the cast on, so it didn't get dirty or itchy. We were happy to have his arm back after 4 weeks.

This picture was taken before his first day of kindergarten.

Halloween 2007
















Halloween is such a fun holiday! At our family Halloween party, Sierra and NIcole dressed up as pirates, Matthew was the Grim Reaper, Scotty was a vampire, and Dallin was Superman. By Halloween night, they changed their minds and Nicole became a tiger and Dallin was the Incredible Hulk. I'll post pictures as soon as my camera is charged.

Father / Son "Sleep out"

Matt and Matthew had a special father / son campout on the tramp in our back yard. They set up a tv and watched Indiana Jones. I took this picture about 30 minutes into the movie. Like father, like son. They both fall asleep during action films!



Matthew was so excited to have some alone time with Dad. His smile says it all.

We spent the last day on this beach in Antigua. It was a perfect way to end the cruise.

Scotty's 5th Birthday




Scotty is 5! It's hard to believe he is already so old. We had a Space theme for his birthday.


The boys all had flashlights to scare away the aliens and made spae helmets. Here they are practicing with their flashlights.



Scotty is waiting for takeoff in the space ship. Don't worry - they all wore their seatbelts.

This picture says it all. Matthew has such twinkly eyes when he's being a tease!
