 E4 had pretty well grown out of her newborn/small diapers before we left on our trip, so I decided it was time to sort out the basket. I can’t believe how fast the time has passed.

 E4 has been able to sit up without support for a couple of weeks now. She can’t stay up for more than a few minutes yet, but that time just keeps getting longer. I can’t believe I haven’t taken a picture of her sitting before now: I really have no excuse. The whole clan spent the afternoon at K’s parents’ house. […]

 After her bath E3 was just in a fun, silly mood, so I grabbed K’s camera. And this time she let me! I need to work with his camera a bit more- I was shooting without a flash, but forgot to change the ISO from when I was using it before, so the pictures were […]

 Sometimes when we get back from a trip or vacation, it seems like the entire trip comes down to the pile of luggage and things unloaded from the vehicle. I guess essentially that’s all it is, except for the memories of the experiences. This particular trip was full of those wonderful experiences and memories that the kids […]

 Before we left to head back home I wanted to get a good picture of Heart Mountain, which overlooks the valley. Heart Mountain always makes me first think of my childhood home, and then of my grandpa. I have memories of hearing about him hiking to the top of the mountain on the Fourth of July. I’m […]

 It’s always so exciting when a photo turns out just like you want. We celebrated my mom’s birthday early since we were going to be on the road: everybody came over for dinner, made by V. She also brought my mom a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, and I immediately thought, “Photo!” So I put them on some […]

 We had tried to go to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center on the fourth Friday evening when they had free admission, but decided not to because of the storm. So when my sister-in-law, V, had the day off, she suggested we go and take advantage of the quiet season special. We had so much fun! It has […]

 This trip I finally got to meet my newest nephew, X, in person. I loved getting to know this little whirlwind. Looking back through the photos of our visit, I realized I didn’t have very many of X. At lunch we were eating together, and he was just sleepy enough to be fairly still. I was trying […]

We could not have asked for better weather since we’ve been here. The kids have played outside several days; it’s been sunny and temperatures have been warmer than normal for February in Wyoming. This day, though, it was mid 30’s when the kids went out. Not very cold, but cold enough. I tried to convince […]

The kids played together all day and really seemed to have a great time. This scene is very unusual: E2 is almost always jumping around while he or someone else plays video games. They all just played so hard all day that he actually wore himself out.
