Happy Halloween!

Ready to Pop!

So for those who have never met her, this is my sister Raquel. She and her husband are living with us and, as you can see, they are expecting a baby. She is about due any day now (11/02/08 or before). Anyway, I took this pictures because my mom asked me to. It turns out that she's never seen her daughters pregnant giving the fact that she lives in Honduras and we live here. So, these are for you mami!

Dance Lessons (What NOT to do)

Lesson learned this day? Next time, don't dance with a rolling pin in the middle of the dance floor!

Hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.

Happy 28th Birthday Ben!

So I realized that it has been a whole month since I last posted on our blog. I have been a slacker, but I have also been VERY busy with huge projects around the house, sick kids and husband, my sister and her husband and dog living with us, trips to Portland and Spokane, church calling, etc., etc., and more etc.'s that I have not had the time or the desire to do it. I am not justifying it or looking for sympathy. I am just confessing that I procrastinate when it comes to blogging.

Anyway, I did make the time to celebrate Ben's birthday. Actually, we celebrated it when we went to Portland the weekend of the 11th for John and Melissa's annual Halloween party (which was so much fun), and last week when we had a few of his co-workers and friends over for dinner and games. It was probably a good thing that we celebrated his birthday earlier because the poor guy has been at home sick for this entire week. On his actual birthday, of course, he had breakfast in bed, went to work and came back three hours later because he was feeling really crummy. The only fun thing we could do for him, besides opening gifts, was going to the movies that night. We watched "Eagle Eye" which we thought was pretty good. Even though he was sick, I think he enjoyed his birthday. We are just waiting for him to get better so things can get kind of back to normal. So, Happy Birthday Ben! We LOVE you!

Nursery! Nursery! Nursery!

Since the day McKay become mobile, we counted the days so she could be in Nursery, and it's finally here! She is in nursery! It happened two weeks ago, and she loved it!. Their teachers said she was a pro. She liked being with her sister a lot, and I think Taylor didn't mind having her there either. They didn't even fight! Hooray for Nursery!

Sweet Dance Moves!

This video is a little over a minute long, but it'll show you some of Taylor's and McKay's sweet dance moves! So bear with me and enjoy!

We are back!

So, we are back for real! With sadness I had to say bye bye to the Olympics, but just for another four years. It was good while it lasted. Now we are back to normal schedule. Here are some pictures of Taylor and McKay at Ella's birthday party. It was supposed to be a pool birthday party, but it rained on us that day (Crazy weather we are having right now!), so they ended up changing the party theme. It was still lots of fun for everyone. Taylor and McKay got the chance to decorate their own princess crowns and cupcakes, and played games with huge balloons. They had a good time. Happy Birthday Ella!
