I found some pictures on our memory card from before our trip. I thought I would document those before I move on to our trip to Utah and Sacramento.
Above: Benny sports Lil' Spence's golf clubs before we head out for a family outing to the driving range. Below: Lila dawning her spring line of infant-ware.
Spencer's birthday was at the end of February. I made the Higginson's traditional sour cream chocolate cake. I failed to get 30 candles that would have made a torch-of-a-cake, so I improvised with the slim count of candles that I had on hand, and a cookie. Happy birthday Spencer!
what a bunch of cutie pies. i never seem to have candles in the house on a birthday. i have improvised many times (never with a cookie though). i'll have to remember that.
we miss you guys so much. so, when are you moving here? :) we still need to exchange photos from your trip here. i will email you the photos i took. i didn't take a ton... just a few of your kids in the tree and such. so i will email those today hopefully. well, love you guys and tell your kids we miss you all.

Quotes from the Kids...
*Lila: "Can we have cake for dinner?"

Lila: "Why it's so fun?"
*"Smokin'" is Lila's new favorite adjective. "You got me smokin' wet." or "Whoa, that was smokin' cold."
*Benny: "I said a prayer about where I would go on my mission, and I kind of heard a little voice, or maybe I was just thinking it. I heard a voice that maybe I will go to Japanese, but maybe I just thought it."
*Benny: "I'm bigger than four now because I ate blockery." 'Blockery' translated is 'broccoli'.
*Kristi: "Benny, why are you washing your apple?" Benny: "To make it juicy!" Spencer: "Benny, that only works with gum!"
*Benny:"One time I had a fever and mom feeled it and it was warm." Spencer:"Did she give you medicine?" Benny:"Yeah, but I thinked I could keep it because it was warm."

*It is a sure sign that we don't get a lot of snow where we live when Lila see's snow falling in a picture and calls it popcorn.
*Benny: "Mom, who made dogs? Kristi: "Jesus." Benny: "Why didn't he make us one?"
*"I'm glad Jesus created Bakugans." - Luke
*To the tune of BINGO Benny sang, "B-Y-U-N-G-O." It didn't flow so well.
*"Mom, what's wrong with your face? It looks like a crepe...a burned one." - one of Spencer's kind compliments.
*Luke said he was full so Kristi said, "I guess you don't want any cookies." Luke responded, "Cookies can melt the full."

*"Mom, I like to wiggle." - Luke
*"I want to punch 'Telly Bye-Bye' in the face". - Luke expressing his sadness that Telletubbies was over.
