Swimming

If there's one thing that all my boys love doing......its swimming. And I love it because it gets "some" of their energy out too. This crazy man above is Carson doing a flip off the diving board. He saw some older boys doing it and decided to give it a try. If you look really hard, you can see mom in the background waving while doing some laps.
Nate taking a breather from the pool

Jackson LOVES the slide. In fact, thats all he does. But we may have to have a few lessons on politeness so he'll stop butting in front of people to get to the top.

What handsome boys!

Say hello

There's usually a reason for my laziness on not posting for a while, and now you know. Here's baby Cloward at about 11 weeks along. Carson swears he can tell its a girl. For some odd reason I find that hard to believe...but we'll know soon enough.

say...CHEESE

Isn't it amazing how innocent kids look in pictures :-)

Emily came over for the weekend and we had a blast hanging out with them. The cousins played so well with eachother. All we had to do was feed them every now and then, and they kept themselves entertained. Here they are watching a movie on my bed.

I need summer

So a lot of you have been asking if I've fallen off the face of the earth or something because I haven't been updating my blog. To reasure you all, we are fine and dandy, and mom is just doing her best trying to entertain the boys during the winter months. Lets just say, summer can't come soon enough. So here's a little of what we' ve been up to.

Grandma Sue FINALLY learned how to play bowling on the WII. Its amazing how Carson seems to beat everyone he plays.

Nathan and Jackson have taken up the hobby of trains which is AWESOME! They can play with those things forever.... or until someone throws a train at the other :-)

Jackson has been helping out around the house. He loves putting the clothes in the laundry....and sometimes an occasional toy or ball...but that shouldn't do much harm.

Nathan gets more fun out of pushing a real baby instead of my cabage patch dolls.

Lets get out of the HOUSE

After all the kids getting the croup over Christmas we REALLY needed to venture out of the house. So last Sunday, I told everyone to hop in the car....we're going to see the lights. It ended up being a fun little outing.
Seeing the Conference center up close and personal :-)

Wii

Santa brought us the Wii this year and it has been a hit in our household. Surprisingly enough, Carson has quite a talent in bowling. G&G Cloward couldn't even beat him.

Grandpa Sherm has the perfect stance for a strike!

What in the world....how did that end up in the stockings. I've been hearing a lot of funny noises lately :-)

We got to celebrate Christmas eve with the Schauerhamer side and the kids were ever so helpful on unwrapping the gifts. I don't think G&G tore any wrapping paper that night.

Good Aim

This is Jackson's favoite drawer to play in. It's great because it's in the kitchen and it keeps him pretty well entertained while I cook dinner. I'm thinking his brothers have a big part in teaching him how to use a dart gun :-)
