Bouncin Babies!

I still can't believe we have TWO!!!!

Way to go Ty!

In art at school the kids were given a topic and then had to do a picture about that topic. Tyler's picture was chosen for his class to be displayed in the Fayette county elementary art show. We were pretty proud of him.

He obviously got his dads talent!!

We took the whole family to the art show to take a look. There was a cool little fountain so I took a picture. We are getting to be quite the group. I think we need a few more!! OK maybe not!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

We decided that since we were going out tonight that we would include our kids in our candle light valentine dinner. They were very excited. We drank red soda in red plastic champagne glasses, eat on pink and red heart plates and everyone got a little valentine gift. They loved the candle light and felt pretty special. They even got to share the burnt cream.
When I went down stairs my sweet Kev had a dozen roses, a beautiful card and My favorite - Dove Chocolates sitting on the counter.
Mia and Mason's first valentines day!
Happy valentines day!! We LOVE you all!!!

Mason's first time eating solid food.

HE LOVED IT!!!! He was such a good eater. He opened his mouth so big (surprise) and hardly spit any back out which is more than I can say for Mia. She is a typical female and a little more picky about what she eats.

Happy 4th birthday Little Lex!!!

I can't believe my little girl is 4 years old already. Were have the years gone. For Lexi it is all about the pink!!! If its pink and girly she loves it. I never really thought I would have a girly girl but I have to tell you I am totally loveing it. I could go crazy shopping for my girls not just for the cute clothes but for the fun girl toys. Anyway, here are some things that I love about lex.
She is so snuggly
She loves pink
She is sooo animated
She does the worlds best hula!
She is a great big sister
she laughs all the time
She can bring on the tears in record time
She has her dad completely wrapped around her finger
OK. Me too!!
She knows what she wants and how to get it
She loves to go to sunbeams
She is a great sharer if you only ask first
She loves to sing and dance
She is such a big helper
She is always willing to take care of Mia and Mason
Some times even when I don't want her to.
She is fun to dress us
She gets so excited about little things
She gives great kisses
(too good in her dads opinion)
And for those of you that know her well She gives the greatest HUGS!!
Happy Birhday lex. We love you the Most.

Elder and Sister Hyde!

Grandma and Grandpa Hyde completed their mission in Detroit Michigan last week. I can't believe it has been a year. They did an awesome job and we are soooo proud of them. We know that they touched more people then they think they did including their children and grandchildren. Thanks so much for your example and faith. We love you and miss you already!!!

The Westover connection

Mom and Dad with their six kids. Denise, Donetta, Deanna, David, Debbie and Dawna Papa with all the boys! One son, 5 son in laws and 19 grandchildren. Grammy with the girls. For some reason we didn't put the moms in this picture but there are five daughter, one daughter in law and 15 girl grandchildren. Quite the group I must say! 48 in all!!! We took some picture while we were all together at Christmas. It was so crazy and impossible to get every eye looking at the same place at the same time. Oh well. Its all about capturing the moment. I think we might not have to update this picture for a while since for the first time ever in about 17 years we don't have anyone pregnant. Every other time we have taken a family picture there has been a baby (or two) born shortly after which has made our picute out of date. With 34 grandkids in 17 years you can see why. We have such a great time with each other and it is so dang fun to be together.
