The Senior Dinner Dance

The week before Michael’s graduation there was a Senior Dinner Dance. It was fun to get dressed up for something fancy and do my hair up nice (even though I had to borrow a curling iron because we had already packed mine). That night we had fun talking with friends and the dinner was very good. After dinner we danced a little. It was fun to dance and to see our friends dance too. Oh, our camera has been giving us problems and taking really dark pictures, did anyone happen to get any better pictures of the group than we did?

(Well, I did it – I stayed up to a ridiculous hour, but I got caught up with posting our photos. Now I just need to add the ones from this weekend with our family in town and Michael’s graduation, once I have a chance to go through those ones).

Weekend with Aiden and KidsFest

A few weeks ago Aiden Theriot came and stayed with us for a weekend while his parents went house hunting in St. Louis. The boys loved having an extra playmate and Aiden was an easy kid. That weekend we ended up going with the Kearls to KidsFest, which was pretty fun. Along with these photos, there is a fun little video clip of Kolby and Eli when they got to be part of the “kids circus” at KidsFest. They got to dress up as horses and dance. Don’t ask me why they put Eli in a pink shirt along with all the girls, but I do have to say I think he had some pretty cute dance moves. They both really enjoyed that.

The Boys Dancing

Our digital piano has a few demo settings where it will play clips of a few different types of music, and one of the boys' favorite things to do is turn on the demo songs and then dance to them.

Bedtime Routine

These video clips are from when we were in Boise in December. Michael and his little sister, Mindy, were having a lot of fun playing with the boys before bedtime. (And people wonder why my children are wild???) The funniest thing to me is that Michael likes to play like this, and then when he gets tired he says, "ok, that's enough" and expects them to calm down and get ready for bed. Although I'm sure they wish this was their nightly routine, it's probably good that it's not. They sure had fun, though!

Camden Dancing and Giving Isaac Kisses

I haven't had much free time to post much to the blog, so I thought I'd take this opportunity while all four boys are napping to try to get some photos and videos posted. We are leaving town next Saturday for two months, so it may be a little more difficult for me to find time to post photos and stuff for a while after we're not at home anymore.


(Sorry that the video is sideways – I realized when I was watching it later that I must have turned the camera while I was recording it because it is sideways for the first part of the video clip and right side up for the second part. Oh well).

Halloween Party

Here are some pictures from the church Halloween party last Friday. The boys had fun trick-or-treating through the hallways of the church, dancing to the music of the live band, and eating as much candy as they could.

Eli Dancing

We watched the old Disney movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks as a family last night, and the boys loved it. There is one part in the movie where they sing a song called Portobello Road and it shows people doing all different kinds of dances, and Eli got up and started dancing along with the movie. We only caught the end of his dancing on video, but it was pretty cute. Michael and I have often commented that Kolby says funny things, but Eli more often does things that are funny or cute. The best part was when the movie showed some women doing a Scottish jig and Eli copied them exactly – put one hand up in the air and the other hand down at his side and did quick little foot movements. Isn’t he adorable?
