David turns the big 4-0

"This is dad when he was little."

"Then he grew."

"And he was smiling."

"Then he grew a little bit older with long hair. He was kinda young."

"Then he grew to have no hair and just a mustache. That's when we got our pictures taken."

"This is what dad looks like when he's driving. He wasn't smiling very much but he still had a beard that was kinda short."

By Emmy Ward

Happy Birthday David!

Emmy loses a tooth!

Emmy was both excited and shocked to lose her first tooth! The dollar under her pillow was particularly exciting. She thought she might try it again for several nights in a row, to see if she could get more dollars. It worked once at home, and once at Grandma's, but she was disappointed that the money stopped coming after that. She knows that Dad is the "tooth fairy" but can't get him to tell her what he did with her tooth! Whenever she asks he says, "the tooth fairy has it!"

Visit to Grandma and Grandpa's

I discovered how much Adam loves Vanilla wafers

All the kids had trouble sleeping in a different place than home

Emmy had the most fun- she loved spending time with Grandma!

Goodbye and hope to see you again soon!

Sledding

Emmy had a blast!

David on a second run

Noah liked it best when mom was on the sled with him

Sizing up the hill

The babies didn't like it so much

It was pretty darn cold

Emmy and David take on the steep hill

Kyle was the thrill-seeker

Kiley kept falling down the hill, but at least she's smiling!
