Samuel

My friend Melanie made and sent these hats to Samuel, she also made this little baby cocoon. I'm afraid he may be a little too big for it. I'll put him into it anyway. She also made hand bound journals for Audrey and Hailey for their baptism. I'll take pictures of those later. But you'll be happy to know they have been writing in them every night. I think it is adorable. Now I just need to get them to remember to read their scriptures and pray every night. Thank you Mel.

Happy Birthday Kate, We love you.

Kate's birthday just happened to be the day before Audrey and Hailey were baptized February 5th. We were able to take her out to dinner which is always fun with 5 (now 6) kids. Also at the luncheon after the baptism we had a cake for her and had everyone sing to her. She even picked out her cake and #6 candle. Now I have a beautiful 6 year old. Happy Birthday Kate!

Cupcakes anyone?

Kate and Ruth have loved making cupcakes for everyone with this fun cup cake set.

Audrey and Hailey's Baptism

Saturday February 6th Audrey and Hailey were able to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. We got our house all ready, luncheon stuff ready and the day finally came. The program was sweet and simple, Audrey and Hailey picked their grandpas to give talks, Uncle Ben sang a beautiful song. The spirit was so strong. A lot of our family and friends were there to support the girls. What a wonderful family experience. Max keeps dreaming of getting baptized. Now all they need to do is get married in the temple and endure to the end, right? It sounds simpler than it is.

My Smiley Guy.

It still takes a lot to get him to smile and he has to be very full and happy but when he does he's adorable.

Baby blessing of Samuel

Saturday February 6th 2010, we blessed our beautiful baby boy. He did a really good job. No crying. I was impressed. We also baptized the twins (Audrey and Hailey) I'll post pictures of that soon.

Yummy yummy lunch!

Thanks to us watching Modern Marvels I made the yummiest omelet today for myself for lunch. Yum!

Finished Flooring. YEAH!!!

Here are photos of the finished floor. It is so nice to be able to walk around with no shoes on and not walk on nails or get slivers. It didn't last that long but it sure seemed like a long time. We had to make sure the kids wore shoes even with their pajamas on. Now that was a funny site. I'm glad it is done. We also put up a few photos before the baptism. It really feels like home now.

Under Construction.

We decided to put in our floor before we had Audrey and Hailey's baptism. We wanted to do a luncheon here and thought that it would be nicer to have the finished floor. Here are some photos of us pulling up the hall floor and kitchen tile and linoleum. It was a lot of work but we did it.

Christmas two months late

I haven't updated my blog in a long time. I think I must have been busy with a new baby. I just realized that I hadn't posted anything about Christmas. Here are a few pictures from Christmas. We had Grammy and Grandpa Bair over in the morning it was really fun. Chris and the girls made Max lightsabers, that is the photo with the kids playing with swords. Grandpa took our Christmas on the stairs photo, and the first time I saw that photo I thought, "We have a big family." I love my big family. I've never thought I had a big family before. I knew I had 5 kids, but I never thought it was big. Some how adding a 6th makes it seem so much bigger. Fun stuff.

Snow man!

Chris is such a good Daddy before the snow melted he took Max outside and started a snow man. when the girls heard what they were doing they all went to join in. One good thing about winter is playing in the snow. What a happy snowman. :)
