Lately

We took the kids swimming at an indoor pool at a Rec Center in Denver.  It was really cool and had tubing slides, an indoor playland, and even a rock climbing wall.  We didn't get any pictures there, but here's a picture of Arabelle in her cute swimsuit and cover up.  It was actually super warm that day, even tho there is snow on the ground.




Brittney gave us a bunch of cute clothes and the kids wanted to look at them when he got home.  They started pulling them out and wanting to play dress up with the fun new clothes.  
Charlotte kept bringing us clothing and making us layer it on her.




She wanted this one on top of everything else.  With her arms pinned down she had no balance and kept falling down.  So funny!

I call this "Profile of Courage".  I think Arabelle took this picture.

Family Home Evening--we learned about our bodies and drew pictures of ourselves as part of the lesson.
Jeffrey took special care designing his t-shirt.
Jeffrey's wound up kind of weird looking because Arabelle scribbled on his face with a green crayon, so we had to give him green glasses.  Jeffrey picked all the other colors.

Trimming the bushes with scissors.  This has been one of Jeffrey's favorite pastimes for years, and I have encouraged it.



Charlotte has been enjoying playing in the dirt.

  1. Fun times. I want to comment on all of them. Darling swimming suit and cover up in the snow, fabulous robot pictures, Arabelle's coloring is very intriguing, I love Charlotte's layering, and it's so clever of you to have the kids trim the bushes!

  2. Also clever of you to turn the Arabelle scribble into green glasses. I'm really impressed by Jeffrey's robot shirt. And as Mom and Stel have both mentioned, Arabelle's coloring does have something to it.
    Charlotte looks sort of like a fairy tale garden witch in her multi-layered getup. Or maybe a mob boss (in the family tradition)

  3. Great post! Arabelle always has the best swimsuits! The layering brings back a Phil memory and I love Charlotte's smile. I think that I am going to have to get the kids trimming bushes. They would love it! I am just dying to see your kids in person!!!
