This is how we roll on Monarch Palm. Lots of food, Great neighbors and A JumboTron - It started out to be a great night until the Baltimore Ravens beat the San Fransico 49ers 34-31.

 

Free Puppet Show

Uncle Ryan and Aunt Madelyn sent each of the kids these super cute puppets for Christmas. Rachel has now made it a tradition to take hers with her on long trips so she can entertain all the passing cars. Makes us all laugh!!

My Little Helper Boy!

Jacob saw the mess the dogs had made (Duke had a friend over, Dexter)and he came inside and demmanded that I get him the broom and dustpan and off he went to clean up. He always loves to help me. An endearing quality I hope last longer than it did with his older siblings.

Must have been a good Trip!

The Zone - Indoor Soccer

This was Matthews first Indoor Soccer Game.

I had to be goalie for the first half and did not like it. But then I scored a goal in the second half. It was fun.

(Matthew volunteered to be goalie since their regular goalie wasn't there yet and his coach said he loves Matthew's attitude. He can do anything he wants to. You could tell Matthew was a little stressed being goalie, something you don't normally see in him, but he did great.)

Trucks , Tractors and Trains

That's all one little boy needs to fall asleep.

Matthew and Rachel's 12th Birthday!

Happy 12th Birthday Rachel & Matthew

I can't believe that these two tiny babies are already 12.  I now have 3 children mutual age.  Rachel gets to come with me now to all the young women activities and Matthew gets the Aaronic Priesthood. Lots of exciting things are in store for these two tiny babies.  I love them with all my heart.  They are not your typical set of twins.  In fact, most people are surprised when they find out that they are twins.  They are total opposites and I don't just mean physically. It has been fun watching them grow up together in the same household, with the same influence and still turn out so different. They are however your typical boy and girl.  Rachel started talking way before Matthew did, but Matthew started running way before Rachel started crawling.  Rachel is very neat and precise and Matthew is carefree and active.  And I love everything about them both. 

Hope you Have a Wonderful 12th Year!
