Randomness

 A day at the bowling alley.  Look at that form!  (Sienna usually didn't use the ball ramp... just happened to catch it on camera.  Colby usually DID throw the ball instead of roll it.)

This shower curtain village (drawn with colored sharpies) provided hours of entertainment soon after Paul was born so Mom could take a nap.

The Leaning Tower of Shepherds!

A book tunnel.  Sometimes we sacrifice cleanliness for happy kids.  Not sometimes.  Most of the time.

First tooth lost!  On the first day of first grade.  Memorable!

Cute brothers.

New Walkway

Since Bryan took some time off work after Paul was born, he decided to be extra productive and build a new walkway.

It was something we had wanted to do for a long time, since our old cement one was cracked, ugly, and led through bushes and trees that we couldn't keep up with the trimming.  So once Bryan found out that one of the young men from church does it for his summer job, we hired him to help do our new walkway.  It was very labor intensive, during one of the hottest times of the year.  They were out there with the jackhammer, shovels, wet saw, wheelbarrow, etc... downing the Gatorade and dripping with sweat... literally.  But now we have a beautiful new walkway.  We just need to figure out the rest of the landscaping.

Happy Birthday to Us!

My birthday and Bryan's are the 10th and 12th, and our friend Ellie's is the 13th.

We all love Paul

Paul fits right in with the other babies around here.

"I love you thiiiiiiiis much, Grandma."

 Double duty Daddy.

 Little brother becomes big brother.

 Little mommy.

 Ignore the pink bow, please. It was accessible.

No pics of Colby with Paul.  He doesn't hold still long enough.

It was time...

We've given Dallin a haircut in the back before, but the top has continued to grow since birth.  It was time.  Bryan procrastinated as long as he could.

Later in the day after his haircut, Dallin came running into the kitchen with this headband on, with a big "Roaarrrrr" and his claws stretched out.  We couldn't stop laughing.

Newborn Smile

Trying to capture the elusive newborn smile...

(Dallin was feeling left out, so he got a picture too.)
