DECEMBER 2006

Okay, so I know its mid February of 2007....but we have been busy! With what? Four children...enough said right?! But we love (almost) every minute of it!!! Enjoy our Christmas pics...and we will try to get our pics from Jan/Feb posted soon! :)

November 2006

William finds his toes! He is 5 months old and so so cute....


Isaac at the park with Dad


Gene went to Austin's and Audrey's school classrooms and taught the kids how to make gingerbread houses...then they gave it to their teachers...Gene does it every year...needless to say the kids love it...and so do their teachers!


Sweet William!

Fall 2006

Audrey went to a "fairy-princess" birthday party...and had too much fun! She is ALL girl...and then some! :)


Backyard Camping...its the best!


Austin runs for office...and "tied" with a classmate...they re-voted and he lost by only 3 votes!


HALLOWEEN! Audrey is a "fairy princess" and the boys are "mad scientists"...but neither Austin or Isaac would let Mom and Dad make them look a little more "freaky/mad." But they enjoyed scaring the little girls with the toy rats and frogs they had in their lab coat pockets!

End of Summer 2006

Sweet William is becoming quite the "talker" he loves to have anyone talk to him and he just gurgles and coos right back...all while his entire body wiggles with excitment....too cute!




Austin and Audrey go back to school!

WILLIAM SMILES

William is 2 months old! And he loves to smile and coo! His brothers and sister love it that he will "give them a smile" when they talk to him...and they now fight for his attention.... :)

AUDREY LOST HER FIRST TOOTH!!

Audrey was so excited she lost her first tooth that she carried it around the entire day in a ziplock baggy...and she lost it early in the morning! Silly girl! :)

Our Sweet William--Born June 14th--Weight: 8lbs 6oz--Length: 21 inches

Sheri finally gets to hold baby William after coming out of recovery...Gene got him all to himself in the nursery for the first 2 hours! :)

Baby William snoozing at home! Any thoughts on who he looks like??? :) We can't tell...we just think he's cute!

Pool Time!!!

Audrey and Isaac making their way into a chilly pool...because it rained the night before and the sun hasn't had time to warm it up yet!




Isaac is already swimming like a fish without his swim vest...even though he is seen here with it on. Pretty good for a 3 year old!




Austin is on the Hampton Ridge Otters Swim Team this year and doing really well...and loving it!




Austin at his first swim meet...he is in the center lane...he came in second for the back stroke!

End of School Year

Audrey with her teacher Miss Golding and the teacher's aide Mrs. Schmidt on the last day of school...she had fun in Kindergarten!




Austin received several awards this year...best 3rd grade singer, best advanced reader in the whole school, and the one we were most proud of is the award that only 2 children from the entire school receive each year... for being a good example, showing respect and kindness to teachers and peers etc. etc. What a great boy we have! :)

Happy Birthday AUDREY!!

Audrey and Austin both have birthdays in Februrary...so LUCKY Daddy gets to make TWO birthday cakes! And of course Audrey's is a "Pokemon" themed cake as well! (Just don't ask Mom or Dad what all the fuss is about Pokemon...we don't know!)
CUTIE GIRL AUDREY ALL IN PINK...AND BRAIDS TOO!




Audrey got purple (her fav color) roller blades for her birthday! Next picture we post will have to be of her with the roller blades on! (Been spending too much time making sure she doesn't crash too hard...instead of picture taking!)

Happy Birthday AUSTIN!!

Austin, Mom (5 mo pregnant), Audrey and Isaac on Austin's birthday!




Daddy made another great "Pokemon" cake for Austin....chocolate OF COURSE!




Everybody say "CHOCOLATE CAKE!"
