Flashback Friday

I was looking through old photos and saw so many cute, messy pictures of my kids. I don't have these pictures printed so I thought I would add them to my blog book. This is a picture of Lexie when we were living in Logan Utah. I think she was four years old. We had a huge back yard and Lexie was always outside playing in the dirt.

A couple years ago Lexie was missing and I couldn't find her anywhere. After awhile of looking, one of my kids told me that she took off in the Jeep. I didn't believe it at first because Lexie would never do something like that, but when I found that the toy Jeep was gone I went searching for her. She drove east on McAndrews going towards traffic on the busy street to Seversen's and down to our friends (the Wilhoits) house. I picked her up and was very upset with what she had done. I told her that she could have been hit by a car and to never do that again. Ethan was in the car listening to our conversation and he said. "Lexie, that was bad! You don't even have your license. You can't drive a car."

Ethan at our home in Layton Utah. I have always loved this picture! He made a huge mess while eating his Popsicle. I remember telling him to smile because I wanted a picture of how messy he was and he gave me his cheesers smile. For those of you who don't know what chessers is I will tell you. Cheesers in when you smile with your whole body. Everyone of my kids did it when they were little and we loved it!

Madison eating a jelly doughnut on her first Birthday. This was a couple months after we moved to Oregon. The other picture is of Madison with shaving cream all over her face. She and Ethan were in the bathroom shaving their faces. They had toy razors so no one got hurt. Even with a messy face, Madison's still irresistible!

Allison has always had so much hair! When she was born she had really thick, black hair. The nurses told me that they had never seen so much hair on a baby before. When the nurses brought Allison back from her bath she had two pink bows in her hair. Every time I would do Allison's hair when she was little, she would take it right out and this is how it would look.

I think out of all my children, Bryson is the one who gets into the most trouble. He loves to make messes and get into things he's not suppose to. Bryson is very smart and very persistent. He'll scale walls, move furniture, and try to sweet talk his way into getting what he wants.
