Oops--Zane before Callum

I don't know what I was thinking--but I skipped Callum (#4 child) so he will be out of order :)
Zane is our "middle" child. Actually, he is #3 of 6. But has all the middle child syndromes.

Race day!


Who won, who won??? (Zane won most of his races)


"Fastest looking Car" award.


Lay-up practice at Little Bobcat basketball.



Nice shot!



Science experiment time! Baking soda and vinegar :)


Cool!


What if I use more baking soda?




Eruption!!


watching a movie in mom & dad's room



The boys wanted to play outside in the rain--it was one of our warmest days so far (high 50's) so we dug out the rain ponchos.

Nice!





Lay-up contest. Zane took 5th place overall.



Free-throw contest.


Swoosh!

Zane likes to play outside and is very active!

All Emmalee

Emmalee is wonderful when she is good, and a huge handful when she isn't :)
She loves to take care of Benjamin!

Sister Brienna, Emmalee, and cousin Jennica

Traveling in the van.



Time with Uncle Ken


I'm not sure what she is doing--just that she doesn't like to wear her pants very often.


After bath--in her princess jammies.


Bath time--first bath with Benjamin. She was excited to be able to take a bath with him!



Emmalee's first experience with a lemon.



She ate it for about 10 minutes, and then decided that she didn't like it.



And she drank and drank a lot of water, ate some crackers, and still had that "yellow" taste in her mouth :)



Playing outside in a hole the boys dug.



She loves to play in the dirt with the boys.


And she doesn't care how much dirt and mud she brings in the house. That is, until she has cleaned the floors. Then she will throw a fit if any dirt comes in!



So cute :) She will play outside (with the boys) until we drag them inside.



Watching a movie on Mom & Dad's bed.


Playing with play dough (that Brienna made). Notice the red cheeks--she had a cold.


Playing with her dominoes (while the rest of us played Mexican train with Brienna's dominoes).


Poor Emmalee had a runny, runny nose for a few days.



She didn't want this picture taken.
We love our Emmalee!

All Benjamin

I'm going to try to post lots and lots of pictures of my children--starting with the youngest.
Benjamin--almost 5 months old.


He's starting to push way up on his arms. And sometimes on his knees--but never at the same time.

His Superman pose.



All those push-ups tired me out :)


First time in the big bathtub. He had a death-grip on the bath ring for the first 10 minutes. But overall, he enjoyed it.


I couldn't get him to smile for me, though. He sure looks adorable!!!



Freedom after the bath!!

Benjamin loves to be sitting up--and doesn't like to be on the ground for more than 15 minutes or so.

Aunt Pamela













Such a happy baby!
