Lanie's Mother's Day Program

Lanie did such a great job Singing at her program on Friday. When it was over we all had lunch in the cafeteria.It was a great day.

Madison Gets Baptized!

After years of preparation Madison got baptized yesterday. She made several really fun comments like: "That was so fast...can we do it again?" "I feel like I have a new life!" It was a very exciting day. Friends and family came out to enjoy the day with us. Thanks to all those that helped to make this a very special day.

A beautiful day for a walk!

Hill Air Force Base Museum

March 7th 2009 We had a lot of fun seeing all the different aircraft, seeing the first airplane all the way to what they are flying now. It was great watching them get so excited and running from jet to jet. They enjoyed everything especially Josh. He ran around like he was flying his own jet, it was great. Danes favorite part was when we went outside and let him run around. Madison liked the fastest jet ever made, and Lanie was just happy to sit and take it all in.

Let's catch up...

We've really been slackers on the old blog...sheesh...it's been a long time. Since we're feeling extra lazy check out the pictures below to find out what we've been up to:

Christmas 2008

WEEKLY UPDATE 11/9/08

• Happy birthday DANE! 1 Year old this past week. We had another great week capped off with an amazing birthday celebration for our little man. It's hard to believe it's been a year. Any day now and we'll be posting a video of his first steps...stay tuned.

• Josh has been enjoying preschool. When we picked him up the other day he let out a big sigh and said, "Dad, I love my school."

• Lanie has been loving kindergarten. She especially loves her afternoon bus driver Victor. They have both won each other over big time. Lanie always has something to tell us about Victor. And Victor tells us that Lanie has all sorts of stories for him...some of them quite unbelievable. Lanie also had a hearing test this week. It appears that her left ear may have some problems...we'll be going in on the 17th for another couple of tests.

• Madison has been doing very well in school. Her teacher Mrs. Asay raves about her. And who wouldn't? She's a very special girl!

DANE TURNS 1 THIS WEEK!

Dane stands up on command!

Halloween 2008 PARTY!!

Click here for Pictures of the Halloween Party at Gramma Glo's

LOOK OUT!!

As I was playing with Dane on Saturday a very strange fear gripped me. He was standing over me waving this golf ball at high speed over his head. At any moment the ball was going to fly free and knock me out. Instead of grabbing his hand like a man...I cowered and hid my face in my hands. It wasn't one of my best moments. I never thought I would be afraid of what an 11 month old could do.

GRAMPA'S NEW TRACTOR!!

WEEKLY UPDATE 10/19/2008

There's nothing more exhilarating than a free climb with no ropes and no parents around. We shouldn't condone this behavior but this happened so fast and with such great skill it can't be ignored. We're happy we found him before he broke his neck and that we could snap this cute picture. You gotta keep a close eye on Dane or else he will get away from you.

• Madison had a great week. She had school until Wednesday and then was off for fall recess. She had a dentist check-up and passed with flying colors!

• Lanie too had a short week capped of with a fun party with her kindergarten class. Missy asked a few of Lanie's classmates what they think of her. She had some fun responses. One said "She is very nice...but gets in trouble a lot...but I get in trouble too." Another said, "If you don't know something just ask Lanie...she knows everything!"

• Josh has been doing well in preschool. He's learning his letters well and making good friends in class. He's such a good boy.

• Dane has been, as you can see from the pictures above, really busy. He loves climbing, scavenging, crawling and playing with his brother and sisters.

The Case of the Missing Madison

Madison came to work with me today after lunch. We rode our bikes down the busy street and over the pedestrian overpass. It was really fun. Here at the office she has been reading her new "Chapter Book" from school, "Junie B. Jones and and a Little Monkey Business". I went to the restroom to do my thing leaving Madison behind. When I came back she was no where to be found. I asked all the employees if they had seen her and they said that they hadn't. I checked all the offices...no luck. I went back to my office to see if she had returned. To my surprise on my desk was this fantastic little note:

We are a HAPPY Family!

Another great week this week!

• Madison had a great time returning to school this week. She gets bored out of her mind being home with Missy for 3 weeks straight. She thinks that when she's out of school everyday should be a party.
• Lanie too, has loved being back in school. She tells us little about what goes on in class but her bus driver Victor so much that he is the topic of much conversation. Some of the things she tells us are pretty off the wall though...today she told me that Victor works at Destinations with me. She's still learning the difference between reality and what she dreams up in that cute little head.
• Josh has loved being at school too. He was chosen to take home the class teddy bear this week which has stayed in his room. It came home with it's own travel bag complete with pajamas and a journal to write down all the fun things he did with the bear this week.
• Dane was up to his same tricks of pulling out the DVD's, making a mess with the cans in the pantry and falling out of his high chair. He landed OK but it was pretty scary.

T-BALL!!

Perfect Form!

See ya later Mr. Spalding!

GEEZ!! It's been a while....

So we've been really lazy with this the last couple of months. Here's a few things to get you caught up:

School Days!!2nd GRADE! KINDERGARTEN BABY PRE-SCHOOL 4 Stitches. Josh ran full speed into an open car door.

Lucky # 7 -- Married for 7 years

WEEKLY UPDATE 5/25/2008

• Kissing Cousins?

• 

• Chase, Robyn & Annilee are in town for a little while....it sure is great to have them back. We watched Annilee while Chase and Robear went to the temple. We had a great time. Annilee laughs and smiles at everything Josh does...it's great!

Crazy Lambert FUN

• MADISON RIDES HER BIKE SOLO FOR THE FIRST TIME!

• Danes Sits Up All by His Self!

MADISON is 7!!!

Well we dropped the ball a little here. I had a trip I went on a couple of days after Madison's Birthday and wasn't able to post anything for her birthday. Anyway our little cutie is now 7 and growing up way too fast. WE LOVE MADISON!!!

WEEKLY UPDATE 4/6/2008

Another Great Week!

• Madison had an awesome "Friend Party" on Friday after school. She had her friends over for some games, fun and cupcakes. We borrowed the bounce house from Gramma Glo and Gramps for some crazy bouncing fun. Then we lined the kids up on two sides and had a rousing game of Red Rover. Everyone had a fun time. She will be celebrating her birthday on Tuesday the 8th. We'll post all the fun pictures and stuff then.
• Lanie has been doing well. She is always keeping us on our toes with her sometimes bizarre anecdotes...check out this week's video where she declares "I'm not throwing up!"

• Josh has been doing great. He's still acting like a manly man but still found time to cuddle with his dad on the couch during general conference. We needed to find a way to get the wiggles out of the kids so we had them run laps in the back yard in between sessions. This had more of the desired effect in calming everyone down. It put Josh into a 2 hour coma during the second Sunday session. It was really nice!
• Dane is doing so great. Still up to his smiley self he is becoming more aware of the things he can get his hands on. The slobber is really getting out of control though. We have to change his shirt several times a day because he likes to take his bibs off. What a cute little guy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

LANIE IS 5!!!! 2004 2008

WEEKLY UPDATE 3/23/2008

EASTER 2008

• Easter Sunday has capped off another great week for the Lambert Family. Here are just a few of the highlights.

• Missy and I dressed up in 80's style to celebrate Rick & Nick's birthday. It was pretty sad to relive a time of heavy makeup and pegged pants. The 80's can stay where they are as far as we're concerned. Click here to see some pictures.
• Madsion had a short week at school because of spring break. Nanny came and picked her up and they drove up to Brigham City for a sleepover with the Gibson's. She has just started sharing rooms with Dane. Which works out pretty good since she is such a heavy sleeper. World War III could break out in the front yard and she wouldn't wake up for it.
• Lanie has had a lot of fun gearing up for her birthday. She really can't stop thinking about it. This year she wanted a Hannah Montana themed birthday party. Which we will highlight here on the Journal later this week.
• Josh is...well...going through a major phase. He is very manly. Everything is a sword or a gun and he does whatever we do not want him to do. He is really struggling to be his own person and not be told what to do. He's really rambunctious and hard to control. His biggest thing lately is to wear his Superman out fit all the time. We still love him though.
• Dane has graduated from the small cradle in our room to his crib up in Madison's room. He sometimes sleeps well. But for the most part he wakes up in the wee hours just to keep Missy guessing. He is so smiley and so pleasant. Sometime when you walk across the room you'll catch his eye and he cracks a huge smile. He just love to be here.

Life is so good. We can't complain.
