Cool cameras take cool pictures.

Brent & I got a new digital SLR camera for Mothers Day/Fathers Day (and our birthdays, too, I guess!) We're sure having fun learning how to use this thing. Here are some of our first shots. Above, Owen's hand while he naps on the couch. Below, one of my last tulips this spring.

Above, flowers in Brent's parents yard. Below, his dad's shed out back.

Above, Winter in May (in our front yard). Below, the stream in Grove Creek Canyon, Pleasant Grove.

A typical Owen story.

"Oh, no! She found me. What's she going to do?"

"I knew this was naughty, but I thought if I was really quiet about it I might get away with it. Shoot."

Mom surveys the damage and tries to decide whether to cry or laugh.

"Come on, Mom, I'm a sweet boy. And this wasn't as bad as the flour bucket I dumped all over the kitchen, played in, and tracked all over the house last week. It's only ONE tube of toothpaste and I had the good sense enough to do it in the tub instead of on your bed!"

Mom bursts into laughter, gets her camera, and then makes Owen help her clean it all up!

Grandma's Easter Egg Hunt!

Grandma brought her Easter Egg Hunt to our house this year. It wasn't warm, but the kids didn't care. We are having one sugar-filled weekend, that's for sure!

HAPPY EASTER!

We invited the Easter Bunny a day early this year. Here are some just-woke-up kids hunting for eggs around the house. Needless to say, they had eggs for breakfast (the chocolate kind) ... and eventually some cereal.

Birthday Boys!

Owen turned TWO in February (and he is definitely acting his age lately!) He's a big, busy boy who couldn't wait 'til the end of "Happy Birthday" to blow out his candles ... he blew them out as we all sang the very first note of the song.

Sam turned FOUR in March, and had an amazing birthday. He took some of his best buddies to McDonalds for lunch, got lots of great toys, and had another party with the whole family that night (and of course, more toys) ... what more could a 4-year old want? His smile says it.

Christmas (excuse the 3-month late post)

Nathan & Brent and their new foosball table.

Becca and her "Rebecca" doll.

Owen in his snowman jammies.

And a whole bunch of other stuff.

The happiest place on earth ...

We had an amazing trip to Disneyland in October. Don't let Owen fool you in this picture ... he had a great time. His only problem was that he couldn't just run wherever he wanted to. Who wants to be held or in a stroller at Disneyland?

The longest line at Disneyland ...

Are these pictures worth the hour and a half line I waited in? They better be. Sheesh.

Disneyland!!!

We love it here.

They haven't stopped talking about it since.

Beach Babies

The kids had a fantastic time at Newport Beach ... thanks to Michelle for conveniently living right next door.
