This is precious of my children I think. The funny thing about it though is that they look like they are all in three separate pictures and placed into one... is there agreeance or am I seeing things?

This picture was supposed to be at the bottom, but oh well, it's Mc J in Carley's bumbo... she's silly and has lately been a little whiney bucket and is driving her mother nuts. I hope to miss that noise some day, but I for sure don't today :o)

So, it's been brought to my attention that I've been holding out on all of you with pictures of the littlest Mannimal of the zoo. Carley has really grown. She's already 3 1/2 months old. She weighs at least 15 or 16 pounds and as you can see still has her light brown hair that's crazy most of the time (and her mother seldom makes it cute with a headband or anything). She is really smiling and starting to giggle. She's had a couple of spells with the runny nose and now a cough, but so far she's stayed out of the doc's office and is obviously not in danger of being underweight anytime soon :o) Rylan and McKinley still love her and like to cuddle and hold her. She sleeps through the night every night (which I just love!) Things are good and we are just enjoying our cute baby Carley!

This is the Bumbo. It's kinda cute and as you can see it sets her right up and she's in the same room with us and doesn't have to be laying down or on the floor or in the swing that's pretty low to the floor too. You'll see shortly that the other kids like it too :o)

Funny face mcgoo there... She makes some good ones.

Where does time go????

Seriously, where does it go? Time has just been flying by lately. I see it has been quite some time since we've checked in. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and as quickly as things are going it will soon be a Happy 4th of July!

We are doing well here. Just the usual stuff. Runny noses, vacation from school til tomorrow for Rylan and I, attitude in full bloom for McKinley, work, family fun, granny in the hospital, Carley with a bad cold (again), car too small for the crew we like to travel with, playing with cousins, enjoying movies, new church callings, blah blah blah. I could go on forever.

One cool thing happened today (among many). We were sitting in the livingroom visiting and all of a sudden out of our front window a big beautiful falcon landed on the patio chair and looked in at us. Ammon just absolutely loves that kind of bird and this particular one seems to visit the neighborhood often, but today he got especially close and it was really cool to see him and get a good look right up close.

We hope you haven't forgotten us. I am checking in to say we're still here and I am looking forward to catching up on the blog buzz.
