New years and 35!

On the way to Primary together

3rd trimester at long last

favorite stacking toy--costco toilet paper

She said, "hold" so he held it.

A bajillion kids counting down to midnight at 9 o'clock!

The woods by our house

"Show me your muscles!" 

We got Isaac a bathrobe cause he's always cold at breakfast. It has a Jedi feel to it and it's awesome.

Christmas and such

nativity reading with friends

Christmas Eve construction--laying out all of the pieces

done!

Pretty sunrise

a beautiful sight

Six-year-old with six donuts

working on the sewing craft kit

The set up for her birthday

If you look closely you will see Kit sitting in a very very expensive car

One of these things was born in 2011 and has 100K miles on it and one was born in 2013

the arcade at Great Wolf Lodge

merry christmas to meeeeee. I don't look like a planet from this angle

last day of nursery for this cutie!

learning the ways of Tim Tam slamming. Many Tim Tams were dropped in the hot chocolate

watching the snickerdoodles bake--yes both of their shirts are on backward

I gave the kids some Dr. Suess books and they are surprisingly popular with them

downstairs picnic watching "the grinch" which is pretty cute

Addy's birthday dinner--bacon and berry bliss crepes

lots of sugar was had this week

Would anyone like a Civic with 100K miles on it? Pickup in Libertyville

"crazy bus"

they are expanding one of the libraries we go to

petting a huge tortoise. He was really stinky

we liked this cool snake

and bearded dragon

this chameleon was so chill and awesome

Face paint--first time doing Isaac. He got a little ticklish at the end

half butterfly, half flower/rainbow for these girls

first ride--double decker carousel

We spent all day there, but failed to take more than 3 pictures. It was hot and fun! We can go back for free for labor day (except parking is $30) so we might do that. 

Just some simple pictures

Pretty sure this is Addy taking a picture of the new pillow which she loves, or maybe of Isaac waving goodbye to Dad in the morning.

Happy kids sharing the giant park swing.

Kit inside the window seat, trying to figure out why the slow close hinge not working.

Lovely day at a ward friend's pool.  Addy's getting mini-lessons from Jenny and making real progress with floating, getting her face in the water, etc.

Obligatory selection from Addy's 100+ selfies this week.

"And this shall be my animal shelf"  - Isaac

Dinner in front of the BYU/Wisconsin victory!!

Kids have discovered that once it's dark, then can see their reflection in neighbor Lenore's window.  They looooove waving to themselves.  Lenore must either think they are super friendly or watching her every move.

Any guesses on Isaac's favorite animal?
