We got the sun back for the afternoon!! This time of year these kinds of days are starting to be few and far between so you learn to take advantage of them.

Kaden got his first taste of "real" food the other day. As you can see, HE LOVED IT!! And who wouldn't? "Kaden's Glop" (as Bailey refers to it) is what every hungry person is wishing for! I figure this is what they make you eat so that the strained squash you get a few weeks later will seem like heaven.

All the kids in their festive outfits. I LOVE this time of year!

I have been trying to give Steve the benefit of the doubt and let him use the "busy" excuse but 3 months is a little excessive!! (And I, personally, have to take issue with that anyway. I mean come on! How busy can you be when someone else is doing all the homeschool, preschool, diapers, feeding, bathing, cooking, cleaning, laundry, bills, activities, shopping, scheduling, and, apparently, corresponding, for you!) So, I figured it was time to save our honor and put something up here. Here you go.

The girls new, twirly, church dresses.
This next one is Emily's choice for her birthday BREAKFAST!! (pasta)
I always said I was going to be like my mom and make everyone these elaborately decorated cakes that look like trains or bears, (in my case I once ordered the BYU logo - mountain and all) but I tried that for a couple years and found out it makes me tired! So, we do cupcakes and plastic figures a lot! Can't believe she's 4 already!

No explanation required - although I should say that you are supposed to look at Kaden in this one since this is NOT Bailey's best picture!

OK--So Steve IS busy. He just finished his first volleyball season as Head Coach and will be starting basketball up in about a week. He's about halfway through the semester at WSU and, of course, there are those high school kids every day which I wouldn't wish on ANYONE. (I STILL say I win though!)
