Happy Days

Few things make me happier than to see Bryan loving his kids. He loves to read to them, so as they were reading Amelia Bedelia, I had to capture it. Quentin has also discovered the wonderful world of dress-up. Due to a huge lack of boy dress-up, he is forced to look like a lady (and how lovely he is).

Hula Hooper

Avery came racing in as proud as can be and yelled, "I hula hooped 13 times before it fell." I told Bryan to grab the camera. This is what we saw.

I like big bums...

Just a few new pics of the kids. The boys had fun this past week. Cole drew his first picture of a person this week. He said, "Mommy, it's you, and I drew a big bum." Oh I love him.

Fresno Zoo

Saturday Melissa and Elijah (& EJ), their friends Emily and Aaron (& Madi, Kate, Abby, Levi), and I with my brood went to the zoo. The animals were awake and playful. The kids had fun. Every time we go the favorite thing is the elephants (especially seeing the gross elephant pool where Bryan and Melissa swam as kids), and this time was no exception. We also fed the giraffes and watched the seal feeding. The goofy pic of Quentin is his newest face for pictures.

EJ and Q

Tub Time

Some cute tub shots I snapped.

Christmas Fun

Every year, we look back on the Christmas celebrations, and wish they weren't over, but are relieved to not be so busy. This year, I tried to slow it down for the kids. Each day we added a magnet to our Nativity scene and read a piece of the story. Avery and Cole looked forward to that time each day. Of course, the presents were fun, too. Christmas Eve was spent at the Mullins house, followed by Christmas morning at our house (the first time in our marriage) , and dinner back at my parents'. Bryan loved his coffee quilt, and had no idea I'd been working on it- since September.
