Way too many pictures to choose from...
I'm sorry, overload on the new pictures, but I couldn't help it. Here are a few more that weren't on Emily's blog that I want to share. I love this first one because you can see the horse's nose in the picture with Weston. All the pictures Em took at Grandpa's barn, she was surrounded by about four horses nuzzling her. I wished I had had a camera to take a shot of her taking pictures of us. She was a trooper, expecially when Weston and Paige got the hang of it and started showing off to get her to take their pictures, "Emily take a picture of this!" I have so many good ones of Paige, she is so photogenic. Anna was having kind of a bad day, but we got a few good ones of her. Oh, and the last one is of Tyler's butt. He didn't know that I had stuck that flower in there for him to hold and we got a big kick out of that.

One-Year-Old!
Owen and Anna turned one yesterday, but we had such a crazy day I had to post today. Weston and Paige got to have a party in the afternoon because they really deserved it for all the help they have been in the last year. They got to invite friends and cousins over for a swimming, sliding, and snow cone party, so by the end of the day the babies were worn out and their birthday cake and presents went about like the pictures show. They wouldn't even sit by each other and look at me for a picture let alone smile! I will post about the party when my sister gets me the pictures because she was my photographer for the day.
Here are some pictures to remember what our lives were like one year ago, everyone said that if we could get through the first year, then life got easier. I think it is true because Anna and Owen are really starting to be show their different personalities and are so much fun. Anna still hates to eat and drink, unless someone has a pop. On the other hand, Owen eats for pure entertainment, anytime and anything. He is like the Nu-Nu from Teletubbies that cleans up everything she doesn't finish or that he can find on the floor. Owen is starting to be the pushier twin who justs climbs over top of Anna as if she weren't even there, then enjoys her screaming. If he can get in a few hits too, he really likes that. He is such a busy, squirmy guy--very hard to keep a hold of at church. Anna loves to be held and is content with things for a lot longer period of time. She is sensitive and very cautious in everything. She loves her blankie and snuggling, when she is tired she gets so excited to be laid down in her bed, what a good girl. They can both say a few animal sounds, their Aunt Tiffy's name(of course), HI, Cheese, and Anna is the only one who will say Mama and Step(Because we are always saying it to her so she'll stand up on her chubby little legs and try walking!) We're pretty grateful for such healthy, energetic, sweet kids.

What a Jack-Ass!
Donkey is gone, but not forgotten--by many. Mostly by anyone living within 20 miles of us. Tyler won't forget the soothing braying sounds resignating throughout the Bishop's office early on Sunday mornings. I won't forget that same lingering bray as I was going for runs early in the morning --3 miles out of town! Paige won't forget combing her hair, wiping her nose, feeding her grass, and reminding me it is a "she". Weston won't forget his dad calling it every name in the book. Yes, it is sad, but we got rid of Donkey today. She went to a good home in Oxford, Idaho. An interesting girl to say the least, wanted her to pack her water so she could hike long distances??????Okay. Now that she is gone, I kind of miss her. She had the loudest bray you have ever heard but she only did it about 3 times a day.
The next picture is my horse that I sold all by myself and got full price for too I might add.( I was really proud) I was sad to see him go too, but we have had to cut back our animals with the price of hay and seeing as I haven't ridden mine in 2 years, we didn't want to feed him for another 5 years, when I will have time to ride again. So now we only have 2 horses left and the kids are kind of sad because they are only ridable to Tyler.

Winners Are...
Okay, so the the winners are Megan and Megan. Now it's your turn to pay it forward and I will be sending you your prize in the mail! Sorry, I have been such a slacker on the blog, we are all alive and not on vacation anywhere. The babies are not walking yet, but are getting braver. Owen screams bloody murder if anyone leaves the house without him and they both stand at the front door and bawl to go outside. Weston also graduated from preschool a few weeks ago and just found out he has Miss Shelton for Kindergarten next year.
