Ojo is 5!

Owen is 5 already! I know I always say this but seriously? Where does the time go? Owen has grown up so much lately-is loves to wrestle with Dad, play the wii, or play with his friends. He loves to tell knock-knock jokes that he makes up. We don't always understand them but he sure thinks they are funny! He wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting & with M&M's on top. Delish! Our cousins came over to celebrate with us. Here is Brecken with Reese, she always just licks the frosting off! Each year for the kids birthdays they get to sleep over at Grandma V's house. Grandma & Grandpa take them out to eat & do whatever else they want! Owen wanted to go to McDonalds & then play the wii. Grandpa also helped Owen put his new Lego's together. What a lucky boy!

So many Helpers!

The kids have been such good helpers with new baby Taytam. They always want to hold her & feed her. She is a very loved & spoiled little girl! But 5 kids is HARD!! It is kicking our butts :0) The laundry alone has completely taken over my life! Oh well, I just have to remember this is the season of our life & we better enjoy it before it's over. Danny has been great too. He has really stepped up & helped more around the house & with the other kids. Everyone seems to be adjusting really well though, even Reese. Thank goodness-I wasn't really sure what to expect from her!

New Pool

What a funny girl!

Each year we get a new blow-up pool (they never make it thru more than one summer). It is totally worth it-the kids get endless hours of fun & usually even get along while they splash away the summer!

Grandma Funk meets Taytam

Grandma Funk came to town to meet Taytam for the first time, so we had to get a picture of her with almost all the grand kids. We are just missing Syrenidie. What a cute bunch of kids!

Reesie-Roo is 2!

Reese is 2! She has grown up so much the last few months. She is a little girl now-not a baby at all. She even helped Daddy make her cake... it was delish!We love you so much Reesie-Roo! You bring so much love & laughter to our home. You are a sweet, funny & smart little girl. Happy Birthday!
