jacob's birthday

jacob's birthday is on saturday and i've been asking the kids what we should do for daddy on his special day. audrey's reply, for the past month, as been, "daddy wants a cake with strawberries and bananas." jack's response when i asked him what we should get daddy for a birthday presents- "ummm...ME!":)

our growing family- one more to go!

we finally took a family picture! here's our family, so far, with only four weeks left before richard's due date!

sammy

sammy's just cute:) he had such a fun time with nana ou, who pretty much videotaped her entire week with the kids:) here's a glimpse of what sammy's been up to lately...

on the fire truck ride on- he could only sit on it backwards for the first few days we had it:)

he's stuck:)

sammy's finally big enough to crawl onto the couch!

yea! a family photo! at least the kids are all sitting for this one:)

jack

jack LOVED having nana ou here. he asked about her everyday- "where nana go?" here's some of the stuff he did while nana was visiting...

modeling his buzz hat

pushing nana on his new "bike"- it's a fire truck ride on that he just loves

eating dinner with nana. jack insisted on sitting next to nana

showing luigi super mario bros. wii on the ipod. we took the kids to a toy store and told them the could each pick one toy. jack chose a larger luigi:)

audrey:)

audrey's our goofy little three and a half year old:) here are some of her modeling her new clothes and toys that nana ou so generously bought her:)


making funny faces

this was the outfit she chose to wear on father's day and for her primary talk:) she really liked her new ruffle socks:)

riding her new bike! she's been talking about this "purple bike and purple helmet" for weeks!

wearing her new earrings- there's a matching tiara and necklace, too, but she hid them from "the boys"

her tutu!

sammy's new bed!

we moved sammy to a big boy bed today! i know it seems a bit early, but sammy's the size of an 18 month old and he was always climbing on and off audrey's and jack's beds and driving them bonkers. we weren't going to have him sleep in it yet, just let him crawl around, but once we put the bed into sammy's room, we couldn't get him off. he even got a book, crawled into bed, and started reading:) jack really liked sammy's bed, too:) audrey was just excited to "help" put it together:)

sammy loves his new bed and wall decals


reading in his bed




jack really likes sammy's new bed:)
