Lanie and her friend Adri, blowing out candles. Dane wanted to blow some out too.

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!
