A Day Off

These pictures are from President's Day. Connor took the picture of the flag. The kids always love it when we have a flag in our front yard. Connor always thinks we have to have a party or something. It's funny.
I gave the kids permission to use the camera this time, and these are the shots they got:They got some fun pictures of each other. I guess Connor was the one with the camera the whole time since there aren't any of him.They were having a lot of fun playing with these tents, and the boys actually set them up all by themselves. It's so nice that they are growing up, and I don't have to help with all their projects. I guess it's a little sad too . . .So much for the "Don't play on the furniture" rule . . .
Here is Bradley's take-off:And here is the landing:

From a Child's Perspective

Someone has been a little obsessed with our camera. I have found a lot of pictures that I don't remember taking. It seems we have a little photographer who wants to be like Aunt Cristi.

This section is entitled Lighting is Everything.

Light Through a Window

Elmo!

And here we have the lovely pieces in the collection Looking Up.

The Light and Smoke Detector

The Thermostat

And of course, The Savior.

These pieces come from a rare collection capturing the details of a messy home.

Home Is Where the Mess Is

The Counter Top

The Lone Shoe

And last, but not least, we have some photos that will reveal the artist's identity.

The Little One

Dallin is growing up so fast. Here are a few pictures I've taken over the last week or so that show his personality, and believe me, he has got a strong one!!

"What's up Mom?"

He has really started talking. Even today he learned a few new words: "Barbie" (he took the leg off of one of Halley's and said, "Uh-oh baw-bie."), "home," and "glasses."

His favorite words by far are "ball," "B"-which means balloon, and "aw-wee." It took me a long time to figure that last one out, but I am pretty sure he is either saying "water" or "a drink."

He LOVES to drink anything! Anytime he sees a cup or anything resembling a drink we hear, "aw-wee, aw-wee, aw-wee!!!"
He loves to put on clothes, hats, necklaces, and anything else he can get a hold of. He really loves shoes! It's funny. When we had been stuck in the house for so long with sick kids he started bringing me his shoes and saying, "Ooo, Ooo," like he wanted me to put his "oooos" on and take him somewhere!

He is our little runner. Most of the other kids kind of enjoyed staying at least in sight of mom, not this one.

He wants to go!

Even if he can't see where he's going!

Peek-a-Boo!

And here's a random one of Bradley because he felt left out! :)
