Bunk Bed Craze

Tarin and Raegan are so excited for the new addition...no baby yet...for bunk beds! They couldn't sleep the first night, and got up super early the next morning. Lucky us. Anyone that comes over, they have to show it off.

Tarin is on the top and Raegan on the bottom. But they enjoy the top together. Thanks to daddy for the assembly and Gpa and uncle Troy for the lifting (daddy went to Tues. church).

Grandpa In Town

Gpa W. came for an evening and endulged us with pizza and games. Even though Gpa didn't stack the game, him winning saved a lot of "that's not fair".

Dress Up Time

Last week, the kids had no school. Rian invited Riley to play, and they rallied all the kids to put on a play "The Nutcracker". Jarom was a trooper and played a small part in the dance. Very sweet.

"Jump 2 It"

With school out for a week, I needed to find something to keep kids busy. On top of it all, it's raining for a few days. So I asked a family with same age kids and had Rian invite a friend and we went to this indoor jumping place. The kids love it...Our family is a regular customer.

Rian and Riley (from school).

Daredevil!!

"Can't find me!"

Rian Gets a Hair Cut

After a few cheesy smiles, I finally got a piture of Rian with her hair about 3 inches shorter. It's always so sad to see all that hair fall to the ground. But she loves it.

Princess Rae

Our little princess decending the staircase. Dress up clothes have become a favorite passtime during quiet time.

Domestic Rian

Rian is helping mom to grind wheat into flour. Mom is getting better at making bread and other things, and maybe someday Rian can do it for mom.

Rian is a great helper. Good thing, because there is a whole week off of school.

Big Sister Rian

Raegan is a book worm. She's always asking for someone to read to her. Lucky for mom, Rian loves to read to Raegan. Mom has read these books over and over to Raegan already.

Rian has been a big helper and loves to be with little sister Rae.

Crazy Tarin

Tarin decided that she wanted to fly. This was her attempt on her back. She says she can fly on her back and on her front.

This is her flying on her front. She really is a spaz when you see her do it live. I kept asking her if she was swimming...but she insisted it was flying.

Game Night With Aunt Missy

Aunt Missy is here for a few weeks and we have had a blast. The kids find every opportunity to play games and help Missy. Tarin has gotten better at "Guess Who".

Different games are going on at once. Missy and Tarin at Guess Who and Rian and Jarom playing Uno. Then they all switch around so they can all get a piece of Missy.

Friendly Game of Uno

Uno is the game we all love to play. The other day I caught Rian and Tarin playing. They truly are sweet to watch. Tarin is getting pretty good.

Snack Time

After school, it is snacktime. Tarin decided to sit in the middle of the kitchen floor. Raegan misses Tarin all day and basically follows Tarin's every move...so she joined in. They are so cute, until they notice I'm taking a picture of them...deer-in-headlights.

"My" Little Pancakes

Saturdays are pancake mornings. For the last few days, Raegan has been requesting little pancakes. As you can see by the grin, she is very satisfied.

You can also figure she wanted to do everything herself.

Tired Tarin

Last night I had to get this picture. Every night she has to snuggle up with her sheet really tight. I think she was thinking of sweet valentine's.

Tonight she just told me, "I like to hold on my sheets so I don't fall out of bed." She's never had a problem falling out, but if it makes her happy.

Taking Notes

A few days ago, Raegan helped me to make some bread. She found her journal and decided to make her own entry.
