Keaka Jumping

So my sister in law and her two kids moved in to our house for a while. It has been a crazy wild house. The ages of the kids in our house now are 5,4,3,2,1. wow!!! It really has not been too bad we have had a good time. The kids have been really having a lot of fun together. here are some pictures of Keaka Jumping on the tramp and just loving it.

So I was sitting reading a book in my living room and I see Bradys head poke up from the stairs. Then his whole body and her is laughing so hard which of course make me laugh. He said "Mom i'm wearing a dress-up dress is that funny?" and I of course say of course that is funny. One minute later my Nephew who is living with us comes up stairs with his dress on. They danced around together for a while and then decided the dresses were itchy. (This message is for my brother I did not put this on him he did all by himself.)

Rosseans spa

Who needs a real spa when you can get a mud bath in the back yard. Lilly was outside playing so nice and quiet. Then she tried to come in the house and I heard yelling from the kids. I came to see what the yelling was about and I find her loving every minute of her mud bath. It only took two times washing her hair to get all the mud out. Boy I love that girl!!!

Strong Elbows

So, since Karl's surgery, he's had to switch some things around at the store so that he could still do them. One of the things was to put a pulley system on his ramp with a little hand crank that would allow him to lower and raise the ramp. Before, this was a pretty hard job. I really had to lean back to get the thing to go up and also to be able to drop it down without slamming it.



He and Matt are pretty smart, so they rigged up this system. It's so easy, even Brady can do it with his strong elbows. Observe.



For the record, it took a few minutes, but the ramp went all the way to the top under "Brady Power."

Walking to Church

We figured that with just a couple good weeks left before horrible winter, that we ought to try walking to church a couple of times. For living in Provo, right by BYU, our walk is terribly long. We pass the married stake center, the MTC and the Provo Temple to get there. If the kids keep moving, it takes about 15 minutes and it's a good excuse to get a little exercise on Sundays. We did learn that while walking to Church is fun for the kids, walking home is not, so we switch off driving. Anyway, we had a great photo moment two weeks ago with the kids, and I just happened to have the iPhone, so here you go.

How freaking cute are these kids?

Two Cute Little Fairies

Here are some pictures of our cute little matching faires on Halloween. Izzy and Lilly were quite adorable as they went trick or treating. These pictures are taken at Grandpa's store.

Lilly is obviously way more interested in her candy than taking a picture, but Isabel is always good for a pose.
