Wowsers.  It's been awhile.  Can't say that I'll be back in full force, but I love all you friends who check this blog and want to keep posting pictures of our family to keep you in the loop since I am a partial Facebook boycotter.  Here are a handful of snippets from life.  Sadly, I'm giving you the Cliff Notes version, hopefully more details soon!  

Lego Star Wars has taken over our house...

T-Ball!  Rockin' the field!

Cora, ready and raring to get baptized!!!  Praise God for the gift of baptism!  

 Fresh from a bath and happy about it!

Cowboys on the run.

Leyton's temporary braces as he recovers from the bone above his front teeth being broken and his tooth being knocked out of the socket.  Yikes.  Praise God the tooth (left top front) is still alive.  Hoping that the tooth continues to live and we can fix it later with real braces.   

Chubby

Just thought I'd share the chubby lovin' we are getting with our little Cora.

Here and There

Thought it was about time to post a few pictures for the 5 faithful friends who check this blog! Cora Jane (nearly 5 months) is getting so round and cute and full of fun these days! We all just love her so dearly and can't keep our hands and kisses off of her. She brings so much sweetness and delight to our days.

Leyton is full on into Legos and Star Wars. There is just no stopping the power of those two things on a 6 year old. It's-just-too-strong...

Evie is turning 5 next week and so fun and cheerful. She is such a crafter and loves her baby sister so very much. She is often heard saying, "Cora is just so cute, I can't stand it!".

Cora and her cheeks.

Cora and I at Fort Clatsop

Jared took the kids to Mt Hood and went tubing at a resort.

Winterland grand slam.

Leyton + Legos = pure joy

Evie is so quick to laugh, I love that about her!

Cora, our little sweetie.

Smiles and Cycle Cross

That Cora is so much fun! We are getting some smiles lately and we are loving them.

Also, here are a few pictures of our kids doing a cycle-cross race. They did awesome and had so much fun! Mud, barricades and finish ribbons, oh ya!

Sorry for the short post, but having 3 kids is keeping me hoppin'.

Evie, Leyton & our friend Gabe at the starting area.

Leyton, edging out the big girl!
