the rock is moving

he has been pushing toys and anything that moves around for the past 2-3weeks he gets frustrated when we runs into something and can't walk any more other than that he is happy as usual (except when brother tackles)
he is so sweet and lovable!! doesn't he look so much like Heman?

Happy Thanksgiving

we have so much to be grateful for this year. we are counting our blessings and thanking heaven above for all of you. we love you all so much and are missing you. hope you had a fabulous day. here is a small glimpse into our day. with loads of love.8 Adults (including the missionaries) 10 kids = 3 family's in florida making it on their own
we had enough food for an army and i didn't even have to call dad for advice (which i think he did like.) although i did everything his way the potatoes, green beans, and even tried brusselsprouts (yuck)

the real life for aunt kelli, by punky

punky keeps taking pictures and when asked what she is doing she says "Aunt Kelli told me to take pictures for her" here are some of her random shots of the house to share with all of you. i'm sure will get a real feel for the house.
everyone seems to be doing well. we all are trying desperately to not miss Heman but it's a little hard. i always said it would be the worst thing if he went to an office and now look at us. we all run when he comes home and even he noticed on sunday after being with us for a few days straight we are all a little more happy when he's there. the rock is growing faster and faster it seems. probably out of need so he can soon run from taz. it makes me sad to see him grow, so therefore i am trying harder than ever to ENJOYING THE JOURNEY, NOW!!!!

NaNaNaNaNaNa (Sorry)

really who doesn't look like this after staying up late on Halloween and the next day going to the beach. Yep you heard me Nov. 1st we went to the beach. I know to many in the world this is no big deal, but coming from the west with 9mo of snowy winter this is amazing.
we all had a great time. this beach is incredible and i can't wait to take you all there. HURRY!!!
of course taz showed the rock how fun the sand is, even in your hair
managing four at the beach is a little tricky but fortunately on this side of the ocean there aren't big waves to knock anyone but taz over.
this ones for all of taz's fanz who love his run, really who doesn't love it!!!

Happy Halloween

punky, taz, spunky, the rock out went the lights and OOOOOOO went the wind and four little pumpkins rolled out of sight
Punky is the mastermind behind this Halloween. She talked all of us into being vampires and then dressed everyone of us. She did an amazing job I thought. Heman took some convincing but he came through for a few minutes.
the kids can pull off anything. i'm not sure where they learned how vampires act but they sure were awesome. they get in the outfits and were in character. they are so fun to be a with. i'm glad i'm there mom and get to play with them everyday all day.
the ghost! i couldn't get him to do face and costume at the same time but i'm sure you can imagine. he would only do it because luke the duke was a ghost too.
da vomen vant to suck your blood the women went to the church trunk or treat no recognized us and we had a lot of fun

Sunny Daze

This is punky and spunky's new friend lizzy the lizard. yep Punky is holding her first gecko and loving it. Since the moment we got in the house the kids have been asking to swim so finally I let them dive in even if I thought it was too cold. It's been three weeks and I still haven't been in. When Brig says it's cold I don't argue.
The girls were jumping in and having fun and they told Taz to jump in after them. I guess he figured why not and jumped in. Just to find out that it was very deep and nothing to catch him but his lifejacket. This didn't go over very well and Bela pulled him to the side. It then took him a half hour to even get this much of his body in the pool. He now doesn't go close to the pool.
