Here are some Sunday afternoon photos. I haven't taken classes yet on how to use my camera--so I'm not happy that the flash didn't work right on the picture of Trav & Dad playing the guitar. Travis really has written a ton of songs---and they're really good. I hope he gets them recorded. Also, every Sunday Kassia buys the latest tabloid magazines. I love it because I no longer get to read them at work---and what would I ever do if I didn't get the latest on Vaughniston & Brangelina?

Happy 59th Birthday Papa!!

Kassia bought these jet skis for Tanner & Tyler (Tanner was kind enough to share his with Isabel) so we took the kids swimming today. It rained hard this afternoon--but only lasted a few minutes. I wished it would have rained the whole day! Can you tell I've lived in Vegas for 10 years?

It only took 7 weeks before I got out the gel and tried the cool spike-do (the one that Jack sports) on baby Jake.

A while back Alexa picked out 'Aquamarine' as her rental choice at Hollywood video. Well, let me just say that the movie ended up being one of Isabel's favorites---and that I gave in and actually bought it for her. Isabel laughs and gets giddy at all the girly romantic parts. It's hilarious to see a 4 year old get into that stuff already. I think that Bridget loved romantic movies when she was really young too, right? Is little Gracie into them? Well, the movie is terrible (and seems to be playing 24/7 at my house)---so I hope none of you ever have to see it.

Here are the Ralph Lauren outfits that Jake got from Grandma & Papa when he was born. He is big enough to wear them all now!

Has anyone seen 'Little Miss Sunshine'? The trailer shows some hilarious scenes with the VW bus.

This morning Kassia called and said she was making a Red Bull/doughnut run and offered to pick Isabel up for a few hours to play with Tyler & Tanner. YES! If I could get Jake to take a nap, I might have a nice, quiet shower, or so I thought. Sure enough Jake cried the whole time I was in the shower. As a matter of fact, he is crying now while I type this message---despite Brandon's efforts to comfort him. Ahhhhh. I've snapped a picture of him crying to post on the blog. Thought it might be appropriate since that's what's been going on in my life lately. There's also a snapshot of three dirty kids that I took when I picked Isabel up. And then the last shot is of Isabel in her gymnastics outfit. Today was her first day at gymnastics and she loved it! I thought she might be shy and a little afraid on her first day but no way! She had tons of fun and really got into it.
