Another day in the life.....

We spent four hours today watching General Conference on television. Well, Larry & I did anyway. Duchess was pretty much out of it. She changed things up every once in a while as you can see from these pictures.


This is one of my favorite poses. No, she isn't stradling the sectional - her other two legs are underneath her.


And another.


And another.


This is how she gets down.


Some solid sleep here.


I think she likes the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!


All rested and ready to go! Notice the comfy pillows that she isn't supposed to be on??

And now there are 14......

Curtis Hawkins arrived August 27th. Welcome Curtis!!!



Spending time with little ones again is a real adventure. A typical day with these two is breakfast, nap, snack, lunch, snack, nap, dinner, bedtime. Works for them, works for me! Rowen eats twice as much as Aleana!


A girls only picture - Tenajha, Taunie, Serina, & Aleana.


Family time.

Rowen giving loves to Curtis.

One adventure we had was catching bugs. Here are Rowen and Aleana with their bug kits.

Another adventure was balloon time!

While waiting in line for the Mariners game - we went early because they were giving away 15,000 Mariners blankets - Rowen found a nice lady and temporarily borrowed her cane named Rosey. (See the roses?) Next Rowen waited by the entrance trying to figure out just how he could sneak in.






He was very patient.

Aleana admired the flowers!

Once through the gate we found tons of food to choose from. I decided on a pulled pork sandwich. Ummmmmm.

Rowen and Aleana watching the game. The roof of Safeco Field was open during the game even though there were some threatening clouds earlier in the evening.
This is a typical picture of Rowen - motion every second. I was fortunate to get some great pictures of him.


Aleana with her bug kit.

Rowen playing behind the horsey I made for the kids.

My visit was way too short!
