School is in session

1st day of school 2009 - 2010!

Anthony is a 4th grader and Luca is now in 2nd grade!

Ella returned to preschool and Aiden was super excited to join her!
In fact, I think Aiden might have been the only one excited for school (or for pictures) on that first day!

Mini Mariachi

At the end of last school year, Luca's 1st grade class performed the "Bottle Dance" as part of an end of year assembly. I rediscovered these pictures recently and felt they had to be shared. Enjoy!

Ashton Kutcher was right!

I was the lucky recipient of a Nikon "CoolPix" camera for mother's day. The boys, having seen multiple commercials for said camera, knew all of the cool tricks that could be performed. Our favorite, and most requested, is to decorate a picture. Here are a few we are proud of (or rather, the boys find hilarious!).

Luca asked to be a cat. He turned into a devil-cat-thingy. He was happy.

Too Much!

Man can time fly! It's been ages since my last post and I have really debated about whether I should try and catch up or just pick up from here. I guess we'll all just have to wait and see!

We did just get family pictures taken. This is the first time EVER that we have had pictures of all of us together. We are super grateful to Heather McDonald of Heather McDonald Photography for these amazing shots. She and some other photographers here in Utah got together and had a little giveaway where people could nominate families, and we were nominated and chosen! She was so nice and did a great job with a bunch of grumpy, hungry kids!
