Will post finished pics when we get our candles in them. good weekend but it went too fast (as always). Hate that everyone goes back to school and work tomorrow.

We have celebrated Bill's birthday A LOT this year!

Cait wearing some dirt on her nose.

She insisted in having both babies in a 'sling'...one in back was her idea.

AFter being diaper-free for a few weeks Miss Cait decided she was done with that and she would like her diapers back. Oh well. She is so different than the boys.

Happy Saturday

John said "take my picture Mom!"

Zach

Owen showing cait how to do this.....

make a "rock angel".....no snow, now problem. We had rocks. I think the socks are ruined.

I forgot to mention we had 2 kids lose teeth this trip. John lost his second baby tooth the first night and Zach lost a tooth the last night. The tooth fairy was able to find us even in the mountains!

and yet still more.............

Cait and Daddy

look, no training wheels!

look, no clothes

A rare family picture.

Bill and Lori took the older kids on a bike ride one afternoon and Owen returned wearing his shoes, underpants, and shirt....no pants. He fell in the river. Wouldn't want to wear wet pants and ride your bike. I took his shirt off and started laughing at his backwards underwear and he went off to play in the fire pit. Love his UNinhibitedness (is that a word?).
Cait is up
