Baby William @ 7 months

This little guy is seriously the best baby ever!! He continues to sleep through the night, and is content & happy during the day, and doesn't ever cry except for when he's hungry.

He finally can sit up without falling over. He can grab his binki and put it into his mouth. He can do multiple roll overs. He makes my day when he sees me from across the room and lights ups with the biggest smile. He still prefers me over everyone else, I am sure that will change soon because of his two older sidekicks. He has skipped the whole baby food stage and went straight to solids :) I have tried every type of baby food and he wouldn't eat anything. I think it might be a texture issue with him. However, he loves graham crackers and baby vegetable puffs. He is our little joy that completes our family.

Family Night Bowling

A family birthday party for Brady! This was our first time EVER bowling as a family; and one we won't forget.

Some of the highlights were:

1. Brett pushing his ball down the ball ramp, and as time went on he wanted to be a "big boy" and bowl like everyone else without the ramp. Making it a long night with his super slow moving ball.
2. Anamarie's constant victory dances and poses before, after and during every time she bowled.
3. Maddy's disappointment with her gutter balls, so we put the bumpers up for her :)
4. Taylor's awesome spares
5. Mom trash talking about taking first place.
6. Brady's crying about taking 2nd place.
7. Baby William just content in his car seat the entire time.
8. Taking 2 hours to bowl 1 game.

Final Scores were:

• 1st Place: Sarah 127
• 2nd Place: Brady 125
• 3rd Place: Anamarie 100
• 4th Place: Brett 98
• 5th Place: Maddy 95
• 6th Place: Taylor 94

 Notice that Brett & Anamarie beat Taylor & Madison :

It was a great family night!

After days of constant crying and feeling uncomfortable, little William finally cut his first 2 teeth. The first one came through on the 14th of January and the second one the following day on his daddies birthday; the 15th.

Family Photos

We had the opportunity to get some great family photos done with Emily Lesher Photographer. She is a neighbor of ours who is very artistic with her photography, so I thought I would give her a try, and I was totally impressed!! Everyone was happy and easy to photograph, except for our little grumpy clingon boy, Brett. He would not smile in any of the pictures. In fact, she couldn't even get an individual picture of him, he had to sit on his dad's shoulders while she took pix of him. She captured the most amazing photos of all the kids and some great ones of the entire family too.

Brady embarrasses Taylor & McKay :0

Brady has a bad habit of embarrasing Taylor & McKay as he takes them to school in the mornings. I feel so sorry for the many times he has harrassed them. Picture this...you're in 8th grade, your dad rolls down all the windows in the car and blast the book of mormon on the stereo, drops you off at the very front of the school, then get's out of the car chasing you to give him "kisses". Yeah, Brady is a DORK!!
