Not sure what was going on with this getup but it was cute March 2009  Eyasu giving the thumbs up
February 24, 2009.  This is Princess Nala, my new baby girl.  Brent got her for me for our 15th wedding anniversary/birthday.  Isn't she sweet.  Just one pound

Princess Nala

Kristen Lynn Brianna "Bree" Michelle
Eyasu trying on daddy's pajama pants All the kiddos...all FIVE of them.  Seriously it is always a circus, but it is fun

Eyasu LOVES hooking his self up in the car set.  Not sure why? I know I probably should not post this but my gosh it was too funny!  He had to take his directions into the bathroom with him to read as he went pee...one of the girls came running in the kitchen to tell me what he was doing...he has a BAD habit of not shutting the door
Februauy 2009.  For Conners birthday we took him to Toys R Us and told him he could pick out a gift. We let Eyasu do the same since he does not understand birthdays yet and did not want him to get any wrong impressions over Conner getting something and him being left out.  Well, Conner chose the faithful Transformer, his favorite and Eyasu chose Spider Man  The boy is obsessed with SpiderMan...we could have offered him anything else in the store and he would not have anything else.  Notice his pose for the picture
This was our entire evening after watching Kung Fu Panda, one of Eyasu's FAVORITE movies February 2009 Conner can sleep anywhere, which is a good thing because Eyasu wears him out
Kristen getting knocked down in the snow...glad she took it so well

Not sure what Bree is wearing

Madi showing off her popsicle...they likes eating them The boys did not even weigh enough to leave foot prints in the snow because it was so hard from the thick layer of ice covering it.
January 27th 2009.  The Big Ice Storm.  The boys did not care how cold or wet it was out there, they had cabin fever and wanted out to play.
Feruaury 2009 Eyasu and Conner flexing their muscles...I know by the look of Conners ribs you would think I was not feeding him.  These boys could not get along any better.  They are so sweet and protective of eachother.
Conner  December 18th 2008.  Using Brents laptop and Zune January 2009 Here is a picture of Conner after he sucked on the marker...note the black around his mouth : )
November 4, 2008 All Madi wants for Christmas this year is her two front teeth. Eyasu having some fun at the orphanage home waiting for his daddy to fly over and get him!  We're coming buddy!
October 31st at Church.  Conner was Optimus Prime, Madi was a High School Musical cheerleader and Bree was Sharpey from High School Musical.  We had a nice time November 4th, 2008.  Conner's favorite thing to do, play with his LEGOS.  He is so sweet, he cant wait for his brother to get here
August 2008 This is one game of hide-n-seek none of us won but Brianna October 31, 2008 Halloween at church Brent trying on Conner's mask.  We will by you your own next year sweetie
We have been taking numerous pictures in preparation for a photo album we are putting together for their new brother Eyasu, so he can familiarize himself with his new family Only Brianna is limber enough to bend herself into the dog carrier.  This was not child abuse just Brianna finding the best hiding spot :)
 September 2008 Conner...Is this good enough for you?! The girls posing for a picture.  They have been very sweet to let me snap numerous pictures of them.
August 2008 Madi posing in her school uniform. She is having a ball with school , loving every minute of it.  This is a forced smile.  This was the beginning of a long road, Brianna hated school.  She is tolerating it now but is still not happy to be getting up early, wearing a uniform and spending the day doing work and then having homework....she would rather be homeschooled :)
August 2008 Brianna and Madi on their first day of school. They have always been homeschooled so this was a new experience for them!  August 2008 Daddy and Conner when we went to the zoo with our Sunday School class

July 4th 2008.  We took the kiddos to the Zoo today before a night of watching everyone light off their fire works.

The older girls get tired of us making them get their pictures taken.  Conner and Madi love it though....look at those faces :)
