Meeting Emmett

We just arrived in Illinois and my sister and her kids came up to see us. Celeste got to meet her newest cousin Emmett who is 4 months (she says "Emme"). She loved him.

Here is an unmauled (Is that even a word?) picture of him. Happy to be left alone.

Brother's Lap

I thought this was too cute. Celeste had been up playing while Treyton was watching tv, when all of a sudden she goes right over to Treyton and just sits right down on his lap (and grabs the remote). Treyton never even blinked when she did this, just kept right on watching his show. Since this has happened, I've noticed she does like to come and sit on your lap when you are sitting on the floor with your legs crossed indian style.

Yearly Pics

I tried to get some pictures of the kids, 6-year for Treyton and 18 months for Celeste and all the kids for some grandparent gifts. I finally got some decent ones, but after many many goofy ones.

Best of Celeste.

Best of all the kids together.

I just love this one of Treyton. But it wasn't easy to get.

And one of Wade

Bowling

They have a program at one of our bowling alleys that allow kids to bowl free and for a small one time fee adults can bowl 2 games everyday. Here is our first time out bowling as a family (for FHE).

and Wade.

Looking so big.

Celeste loves sitting in her brother's big carseat. Doesn't she look so grown up now? Don't worry, she doesn't actually sit in these seats while driving.

End of Year Party

Treyton signing a pillowcase that each kid was able to take home and sleep on. Their class picture is in the center.
Celeste needed something to help keep her happy during the party.

Playing bingo.

He got the first bingo, now he gets to pick the numbers (well words in our case).

Eating snacks.

Treyton with his best friend Keith (who is also a member but in a different ward), notice the slight height difference.
