Collage of Collages

Uh-oh.... someone uploaded her camera phone....

 Seth's last day of ice skating lessons...  He was trying to scare me :).  Skating backwards, and racing the other kids in his class.

 At a family science center activity... Raya was "making" (eating) a house with marshmallows and spaghetti sticks.  The boys made a boat and each held over a 100 pennies!

Raya reading to Winnie the Pooh at Hastings during one of our date nights... the boys were at splash and dash.  Seth and Levi wrestling without their shirts on and Jeffrey "laying down" -- pretty typical night.  Baking Cookies.  The WSU Entomology Club brings insects and reads books to the kids at the library.  Seth is holding a hissing cockroach.

haha... This is Seth's Thanksgiving feast at school! (it's been a while since I've uploaded pics...) -- behind him you can see one of his best friends Aaron.  They are in the same swimming class too.

Remember that one time I took three kids on a train by myself... at 2 in the morning?  That day is a bit of a blur... and I think these pictures reflect that :) All four of us squished into two seat to sleep for the majority of the trip.

Seth at "A Christmas Carol" play.  Raya playing with her bike girl that she got from Scott. He knows how annoyed I am about the role models little girls are given in our media.  So when he found a bike girl playmobile (I had recently complained that the only female playmobiles were fairies or chubby mommies pushing babies in strollers) he had to get it for her.   Rae and Cella watching Alvin and the Chipmunks, they were clapping to the music.  Raya on another date night at Cougar Country with Jeff and I while the boys were splashing it up at splash and dash.  And last pic... Wasn't planning on buying those pants Raya tried on at Old Navy... until she decided to roll around in chalk with them on...

 Bowling with friends... Zeppoz has a great deal in the mornings... for $40, 6 kids are fed lunch and can play an hour of bowling.  The kids loved it.

Meeting some friends at the park.. Seth loves climbing up this tower... Raya playing cars... and sneaking them into her sock and hat... she thought she was pretty funny :).  Mommy and Big Girl Dinosaur... these were Raya's main playmates for a while.  Raya reading her favorite book at the moment, it is so girly, and so Raya, "Kittycat Lullaby." I love that smile.
