"My life is good, REAL good" - Nacho Libre

Luke ties himself up.
 Tallest Sugar pine in the world, located East of Tiller OR.  Spencer took this picture while out of the office for work.
 Spencer helped the kids make a fort in their room.  They slept in it the whole week.
 Lila and Andrew riding IN the lawnmower.
Luke posing like a super model.
Ah, sweet. 
This is Andrew's super hero pose.  He did this before all of his jumps.  We used the table for a puppet show for Family Home evening one night. Naturally if there is a table in the room you have to jump off of it...repeatedly...while the parents take pictures.
I caught Benjamin in mid air pulling a Peter Pan.
 For a different family home evening Spencer made a shadow puppet stage.  He and Luke performed the story of Ammon.  Those right angles in the air are not birds, but are arms.  A little violent for FHE.
 Spencer found these spider cars while out for work near Wolf Creek.
 Benny before he lost his first tooth...
 and after.
 Andrew showing Spencer that he finished his dinner.
 Lila's blanket was falling apart so we went to the fabric store and Lila chose some fabric she liked.  I covered her blanket in the fabric, using the old tattered blanket as the batting.  In this picture Spencer is cutting the fabric for her blanket.
 We saw this car in the parking lot at Albertsons.  Luke said, "that is what makes America awesome."
 Oops.  Out of order.  Here is Luke's jumping off the table, mid-air shot. He looks like a humming bird.
 Lila
 Andrew
 Spencer
 Lila and her cute friend Alli.  It is easy to get these two mixed up when they play together.
 We got the best parking spot in the whole Costco parking lot.  We like to document the high notes of our lives.
(Notice how Andrew is shunning the family and I am in the middle of putting pants on the baby before we go into the store.)
 We joined about 20 families in our ward for a marshmallow war one Monday evening.  It was mass chaos/fun.
 Spencer went with Luke on his class field trip. They hiked to the top of Lower Table Rock.  They are now the only two in our whole family to have done it...and we have lived here 8 years.
 Tickling Charlie
 Andrew dressed himself in these over-sized shirt and hat.  I love that smile.
 A bird pooped in my hair.  Nice.
 Our yard is at its pinnacle of beauty in the spring. Too bad it doesn't last all year long.
 Spencer went snow shoeing at Crater Lake for work.  Rough job right?

After fixing Lila's tutu, Spencer tried it on.  Such grace.

Great, great photos.

I've seen that car around town-- the new paint job is pretty fantastic. It makes every day seem like a parade.

So many great pictures, where do I begin? Luke makes me laugh so hard - tying himself up and posing like a model. Andrew is too cute, doing his poses before every jump! Spencer goes to a lot of cool places. Aaron was going to go snowshoeing at Crater lake for the first time a couple weeks ago - he was so excited, but that is the day Samuel woke up unable to walk, so he decided he had better not leave me and a house full of sickies. The jumping shots are awesome. How sad about bird poop, I hope you were at home and could shower.
