Walgreens Passport Photos .. Way better than Sears Photo Studio!

If I didn't have an awesome photographer friend (www.lyndseylewphotography.com), I may have had to start using Walgreens to take photos of the kids!

We Love You Daddy!

My first attempt at using the timer feature on my camera - it was Ella's idea ... definitely not mine! I hate being photographed - especially before I get a chance to brush my hair :)

Raking Anyone?

A few of the leaves have started to change color and fall.




Just in case you've forgotten what we get to do every year, take a look at these links:

He's So Big!

Wasn't he just born ???? He's getting close to being 6 months already.

Ella's First** Day of School

**We're homeschooling her .. but she has a supplemental kindergarten program through the public schools 1 day per week. She was so excited!

Ezra Loves Ella Too

There isn't a single person that can make Ezra laugh like his sister can!

A Few of My Favorite Photos

A lot of time has passed since my last post .. and a lot has happened. Adlai turned 3, Ella turned 5, we spent 2 weeks in Texas and Ella was baptized at church. I'm not even going to try to give the details, but I will share some of my favorite photos from the last two months.









Ezra loves looking at himself in the mirror, Adlai is crazy about Spiderman (this week I'm trying to convince him that no one offers Spiderman gymnastics classes - it only took a couple of weeks to convince him that Wal-mart doesn't sell Spiderman makeup) and Ella has started kindergarten.

Picnic at City Park

A couple of weeks ago we decided to take the opportunity to enjoy a picnic at the park. We've forgotten that we don't need to go far from home to enjoy Colorado.


Great photo opportunity, but it was so bright, that it was hard to get a good shot of both of the kids looking at the picture.


The kids enjoyed feeding the ducks their lunch (just the crusts of their sandwiches, of course). This view is from the middle of our city!

Have I Mentioned that Ella Loves Her New Brother?

Ella would hold Ezra all day if we let her. She told me that she wants two more brothers and two sisters. Oh my!!!

Ezra is 3 Months Old!

I may be a bit biased, but this has to be the cutest smile in the whole world ...

Please ignore the goofy mama's voice on the video :)

Ella Loves Her Brother!

Horsetooth Hike

Last weekend our family took a hike on a popular trail in Fort Collins. But, our family didn't make it very far! But, I have to say, Adlai was a trooper. Our little guy wanted to do it all by himself. He only spent some time on Case's shoulders when we forced him up there. Here are several pictures from our excursion. I've even included a shot of Samson.

The Faith of a Child

I caught this picture of Case praying with the kids. Ella fell asleep, but Adlai sure was praying hard!

Case Has a New Co-worker!

Working from home definitely has its perks!

10 Weeks Old

Ezra is a chubby, happy baby! We are enjoying every moment with him.

Brothers

Absolutely precious!

Cousins

We recently made a trip to Wisconsin to visit my family. My sister, Jill, had a little girl (Braelee)exactly one week after Ezra was born. Here's a picture of our three and Jill's two little girls:

"Mattea, this is how you kiss a baby."

"Is this right?"

I'm 5 Weeks Old!

Ezra looks so little in this picture .. but he really isn't. He's growing & gaining weight fast! Just four weeks ago he was drowning in his 0-3 month clothes. Now they barely fit him!

Everyone has told me how much Ezra looks like his big brother Adlai. However, I think that he resembles his big sister even more. Check out these photos (the first one is Ella, the second is Ezra):

Bedtime!

Ella and Adlai love hanging out with their baby brother.
