Just a fun day with the girls!

This was a video taken on October 1st. I can't tell you how much fun my kids are! Poor Adeline's hair!! She was having a tough hair day. But, she was being so cute, I still have to post it!

Adeline's hang'n out

Adeline saw the posts of Beatrice and she insisted that we do one all about her. NOW! So, here are a few pictures she chose to post. Enjoy! We sure enjoy her.

Just one of her fantastic outfits!















Adeline thinks this picture looks better upside down.






















Addy and her "cousin" Lauren.

















After cutting roses she had to pose with these roses all set with her roses cutting gloves.















Our first day of snow!





















Addy and her friend Tara.

















We had to cut bangs because someone cut her braid off awhile ago.








But, she totally loves it!

I love to see you smile!

This is Beatrice in her true colors! Amazing isn't she!

Da Fun Buns

Okay! My childhood friend, Chelsea (Jansson) Watts and I email each other quite often. She told me about these Fun Buns to make. My kids had so much fun, we had to take pictures and just share. Thanks Chelsea.

Parker/Phillips Reunion

Well! We had an amazing Family Reunion. It was a very full week! I (Leslie) come from a "mine, yours and ours" family so we have a big group. We all actually really like each other too! haha! The reunion was at my dad's farm in Alsea, Oregon! He's got 75 acers and lots on it!

Ok, so the kids had lots of fun with tons of cousins, I had a great time with all the sisters and moms and Chris had a great time doing whatever it is that guys do! hehe! We had a really fun water fight, a day to play The Semi-Great Race, they canoed on the pond and went to the creek. All this on The Farm! Ok, so we did go to the beach one day and had lots of fun! I have a slide show here of Beatrice, Linda's amazing bubbles, the water fight, singing on the hay ride, more of Beatrice, my kids playing, lots of cousins, the race, even more of Beatrice, and I even got Chris in there laughing to tears over a joke my nephew told him. I wish I could have more photos in there, but my limit is 50. Dang! I am behind the camera at my house. I'll have to think about that the next time we are on a vacation! For now, here it is!!

my first time

A BLOG first timmer!

I just had a lesson on journal writing and I thought this might be a good way to start again. A BLOG! I have been wanting to share lots of photos and stories from our life and don't think plain old email is going to cut it. Ha! I talk to much and I have too many photos to attach!

For my first time, I don't have a ton of time as I am sitting with Beatrice, my 2month old baby at my side. I just wanted to get something going! The kids totally keep me busy, but I still love to do what I love to do. HA! Beatrice is our fourth baby. She was born at HOME on December 15th, 2007. Isabel has been the "emergency babysitter". Chris has a song that goes along with it and everything. "Emergency Babysitter, where is she NOW?" totally fun!
