Catching up again...

Lena came to town and took me and the kiddos to the zoo!!

I don't think Emmitt gets the 'smile' idea. You'll see more of this painful face muscle exercise later.

He'll do anything for a laugh. Don't know why he didn't wait until he was IN the bathroom to drop trou.

Fun@ the cousin's house.

Aren't they adorable?!?!

Ruby and A. causing trouble in the court.

Long day w/o a car. Dad took the kids by bus and trax all over SLC.

Can't tell here, but he's terrified of the water. Tried as much as I could to fit in with the lower SES peeps @ gateway.

For those of you who aren't aware, Emmitt is obsessed with Lego Star Wars.

Who needs a fork or spoon to eat porn? (not a typo folks, that's how Ruby pronounces it)

'A whole bowl of porn just for me???'

Great friends!! Who else but best friends would show up and pay good money to a place that caters to little kids without their own? Love 'em!

Love his face here. Playing corn volleyball.

Not sure about this face, but I love it!

Inside a 'princess castle'. Eating every minute of it up!

Have you ever seen such an excited face?

Have you ever seen such a constipated face?

Love it at cornbelly's

Another painful smile face.

Couldn't decide which of these to put in here so I left all three.

What are you looking at?

Let's go get some candy!

Cool pumpkin tree.



Painful smile.

Can't see it at this distance, but I'd bet he's got a painful looking smile.

Tough to leave him on the first day.

What a great teacher!

Obligatory 'by the locker' picture.

Minnie Mouse and a farmer.

Disco superstar, Ironman, and MM.

Doing the quick and dirty way to get candy, at the shopping center.



Sexy mama!

Carb-loading for the trick or treating were about to do.



Pat's bbq, go there for your average bbq needs.

@ dad's house for the 4th of July.

Emmitt doing his Mario Kart thing with a ninja theme.

Long piggies.

Don't know if L. made more of a mess or Ruby, but it was a good time watching it all.

Ruby's b-day cake.

Don't know how she got in, but she did need help getting out.

Yes, this face was pulled on purpose.

Good times!


A little out of order, but a good cornbelly's advertisement.

Now this is a grandpa Dave face if I've ever seen one.

Hello Mom!!

Mom, you're about the only one to be seeing this blog since we've kind of let it go for a long while. We've decided that you are about the only one that we're going to be doing this for because you want to see the videos and pics of the grandkids and what we're up to. So in no particular order here's a bunch of stuff that you may not have seen in the last 7 months, enjoy...




Ruby actually got this can stuck on her head for a while.

She ran around in this laundry basket for days.

Graduation was fun. This has to be one of the best pics of us both together.

Ruby got a bucket stuck on her bum.

Love it when grandma comes to town.

About every time we leave her in the back seat unattended.

He would sleep in his ironman stuff if we let him.

We love our new water slide.

Arg, a pirate face from who knows where?


Ruby and her bf neighbor Tommy in the doors at church being irreverent.

Emmitt @ Heritage park.

Randomness.

Lorie and I got a kick out of our butch aviary trainer lady.

Watching the bird show. Pretty good shot w/o looking.

In here birds were able to fly all around and over us as we just watched them.

Reading the BofM upside down.

She was reading the funny part of the book.

We lounged all day every day.

Ruby missing the point of ladder golf.

Her favorite past time of reunion.

Thinking about getting in the pool.

Awesome Ironman cake for his 5th b-day.

Eating @ Village Inn on his b-day, furthering grandma Alexander's tradition.

I don't think he smiles a normal smile ever, always cheesy.

All gussied up for the Art City Ball.

Random night out w/o the kids.

We love our grandma Lynn.

A great day.

Kind of a normal smile for once.

That is a bunch of my classmates and me.
