Fun Friday!!!!

 On Friday morning, Lydia, Marilyn, Valerie, Brielle and I had a little girls' outing to DeGoede's Bulb Farm to see their greenhouses full of poinsettias!  Let the holidays begin!!!! 

 They had cupcakes there!!!!! 

A girl after my own heart . . . 

 Then, a just a little later, a few more of us drove to Centralia to meet Aunt Debbie and Uncle Steve for lunch while they were in our area for the Seahawks and Packers game! 

 Then, back to the house for lots and lots of laughs with most of the family!  

 Brother and (older ;-) sister  . . . just 16 months apart in age

All of our outdoor Christmas lights are up!!!! :-)

And he decorated this blue spruce tree with lights this year!!! 

 He took Friday off of work and this is what he chose to do mid-day . . . . 

 He works hard as an accountant both at work and at home . . . .;-) 

 He has itemized our Tupperware with corresponding numbers on the containers and lids that match! :-) 

Fun Friday Night Clamming with the Johnson Family!

Such a fun Pacific Northwest thing to do as a family! 

Great memories made! 

And for those that LIKE clams,

it is even better! ;-) 

 

Four Weeks Down . . . Eight to Go!

Back to Seattle Children's Hospital for our fourth time today! 

The medication is doing its job, praise the Lord!!!

Today we were actually early to our appointment, so we did lots of coloring pages! 

Brielle colored several and when she got a little bored with that, she decided to take some pictures! 

 On each check-up, she gets weighed, measured, and heart-checked!  

Then, the dreaded blood draw!

 But this time she didn't even wiggle or whimper one little bit during the blood draw! 

She's become a pro at it! :-)  She got lots of prizes today for that!!!!

I sure enjoy these outings with just the two of us! 

Such special days! 

A Very Fun 22nd Quadruplet Birthday Celebration Weekend ! :-) :-) :-) :-)

Happy, happy, happy, happy birthday, Kyle, Caroline, Valerie and Victoria! 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

We were so very blessed this past weekend to have Victoria, Taylor and Luke join us for a long quadruplet birthday party weekend! It was such a wonderful time!  

(Of course, the BABY kinda stole the show and was actually the center of attention for most of the weekend! :-) 

 

 Very proud Auntie and Grandma right there . . . .  .

 The boys had fun with a little air-soft battle shortly after the Smith's arrival on Saturday afternoon! :-) 

 It was Luke's first time back to our church since his birth! 

 We were very blessed to have Victoria play cello with us again!!!! It was amazing, especially with introducing our new favorite worship song . . ."O Great God"!

 Then, Grandma got to babysit for the first time!!!! 

It was so, so, so special!!! 

 We all love Taylor soooooo very much!  

 Luke being the center of attention both literally and figuratively! 

 Taylor is such a great daddy! 

This picture is so sweet! 

 And Kyle is a great uncle!
