Singing and Dancing

Merrill was playing dressups with Lynneah. He was the fireman and started singing the song from George Strait. All the kids got in on the action and when Merrill couldn't remember all the words they listened to it on the computer.

Mikayla is a huge help with the babies, especially when Merrill is gone on all his trips. One night...the other kids needed all my attention so watching both babies fell to Mikayla. I could hear her singing to them but only when I came in to the living room did I get to see that she was singing and dancing for the babies. It was classic and they LOVED it! Thanks Mikayla, I love you!

2 months

Here are the babies at 2 months. We think they are pretty cute. These pictures show their personalities so well! David's pretty chill and just takes things as they come. Alyssa always has those wide eyes making sure she doesn't miss anything!

I also caught a few pics of Josh and Neah helping out with the babies. Thanks kids!

Christmas

We had packers come and pack us up the week before Christmas. Merrill's parents were so wonderful and came to help the kids and I on the flight back to AZ while Merrill stayed and extra couple of days finishing things up. I don't even want to think about what the plane ride would have been like with me and my 6 kiddos by myself - seeing how 2 of those six were only eight weeks old and still feeding like crazy! Thanks so much Mom and Dad! We had such a blast in Show Low for Christmas and Curty and Crystal were so nice to drive up with us to Flagstaff and help us unpack lots of our stuff! And thanks again Grandpa and Grandma for watching all the grandkids while we did this, minus the twinnos, of course! They were willing....I didn't want to pump that much!

Neah, we love you...

This post is mostly for Neah! All the kids have done so well with the addition of our sweet twinnos. I knew the oldest three would have no problem and welcome them with open arms...I wasn't so sure about Neah though. But these pictures show that she is still her sweet self and the babies have helped her to be not so Mommy needy. She is a great big sister and loves to help out. Although, I do love the picture of Neah giving David a hug. You can see she was helping him "play" with one of her princesses. Then she went in for a love and, with all that hair, when the babies see that coming they just close their eyes and hold their breath! All that hair is quite smothering for these little ones. But they do love her and she gets lots of smiles from them!

Oh and I got an extra picture from Christmas in there as well! - 2 lazy 2 take it out :) Merrill thought this picture of David and I was hilarious! Our mouths are both open about as wide as they get when asleep! I guess we were both just a little bit sleepy.
