Fun Fall

I'm sure most moms can relate to seeing this bowl of lucky charms with all the marshmallows gone.Dallin wanted to make an office so this is his computer and phone. He said "no yelling while I'm on the phone". I guess he's heard that before.
A friend had a B-day party with a bunch of bugs and snakes the kids could hold. Kaylee was brave to hold them. Yuck.

Lincoln now mows the whole lawn for us. He does a great job!

Friday night we had a special Whiting Family party. We had a treasure hunt, ate pizza in the guest bedroom (anything different makes it exciting) and did a family mad libs that made everyone laugh. We tried a few minute to win it games and hope to do some more soon. Lincoln spear-headed making this full room fort. He slept in it last night. There was a big thunder storm so the girls were afraid to.
Russ loves climbing up on the counters and getting into things.

Weddings

We had 3 weddings in 1 week. Todd's niece Chantelle, nephew Tyler and my sister Amy. It was so much fun.

Fun weekend

Today was Todd and my 12th anniversary. The girls decorated our room as a surprise.

Where did all these kids come from?

Here we are at 10pm making a cake while the boys were out camping. I love girls nights (with Russ).
Cuties.

summer fun

I've enjoyed having all the kids home from school. We made these marshmallow/toothpick creations (and there has been some wii playing as well)
The girls started dressing up the kitties. They will miss them- but they are going to new homes!

home from Texas

Here is a picture of Russell Ames (95) with little Russell Ames (16 mths)
Remember the Alamo!
Nice shades. The kids enjoyed being outside in the pool, fishing with Grandpa down at the creek, playing with cousins, eating ice cream out on the deck, making hairbows & bracelets with their Aunts, riding the golf-kart around and staying up late.
