So the videos were a little hard to get to work so here are some pictures of Natalie's ballet.

Dylan's program

Today was Dylan's Valentines program. I forgot my camera, which I felt SICK about, but one of my friends just emailed these pictures to me. THANKS BECKY!!

Last year in any kind of program Dylan would totally shut down, he would look down and never participate. At the beginning of the program he was bright red and NOT happy, as you can see in the 2nd picture. But as they were singing he started to sing along and do the motions a little bit.

Dylan not happy...

He finally started to smile at the end. What a difference a year makes. When we got home he asked me if I could hear him singing, "cause I was finally singing loud." He was really proud of himself. SUCH a cute kid!!

chapstick

Natalie got some chapstick for her birthday. She was pretty good with it until today. She told me that her chapstick broke. Tim went to see what she did and she had put chapstick on all of her dolls. Apparently she thought they all had chapped lips. But she told me the boy doll had a rash.... ??

The girls

Over Christmas break a couple of college roommates, along with husbands and kids, got together. Erin & her husband are from Spokane WA so its been a while since we have seen her. This was the first time she met Amaya and Ryenn, Tara and Josh's newest addition.

Amaya and Ryenn are only 4 weeks apart and very similar in size. :) Missing in this picture is Dylan and Kyler.

No kids for Erin yet, but she looks like she is ready for a couple!
Amaya and Ryenn, so cute!

Amaya is 5 months!

Here are a couple of pictures I took yesterday of Miss Amaya.

The scale that she is on is a scale that is past to each new baby on Tim's side of the family. I love it that now have her weight in the picture because I am realizing that I can not keep all my kids weights straight at certain ages which I thought I would be able to.

Conversation

Here is a conversation that Dylan and Natalie were having while I am sitting by the computer. I was trying to type as fast as possible because I didnt want to miss anything. It may seem like I'm missing a few things, but this is truely how it went.

Natalie-

Mom, did you know that God cares for all of us and he is going to take us home?

Dylan-

Yea, I know that! But he is going to take us to heaven, not his home!

I told them they were both right, then it continued....

Dylan-

Why is Jesus God's son?

God didn't have a wife? Then what did he have?

But mom, why is it God's son when Mary had him? God couldn't have him because he had no wife? Why did the angel ask Mary to name her baby "Jesus"?

Natalie-

Did you know Joseph was Jesus' dad? and Mary was his mom.

Dylan-

Heaven is on a cloud, Natalie! (yelling at her, typical brother)

Does Jesus and God have a machine that brings us up there?

Natalie-

No Dylan! God has a long scarf that we have to climb so we can go up to heaven.

Dylan-

Maybe they have to bring one person up at a time to heaven.

Did you know that Jesus and God have the same kinds of power?

I wish I knew the answers because they were getting a little mad at me that I wasnt giving them enough answers.
