They just keep getting older...

Cody is pulling up on everything and going up the three stairs from our family room to our kitchen (yikes). Here's some video of him very proud of himself. Our camera has been full for a long time, Char has been dropping all kinds of hints and messages for us to clear it off so she can take the precious pictures - we're so lucky! AND Braden went potty in the potty chair - sorry, no pics or video of that though, it just wouldn't be right without smellevision. The "Your Baby Can Read" stuff that Mom and Pat got us is working on Braden. He can read car, boy and moon so far, everything else is, "duck, quack, quack," until he sees the picture of the word. Morgan is, as always, doing really well in school. She has all of her weekly spelling words memorized by Monday night and is working on her multiplication tables. This just blows my mind, I remember memorizing my multiplication tables, it's just crazy. The big news as of late is that we bought a minivan - Toyota Sienna. I admit it, I begged for it. I was sold when we went to Idaho and Jill and Rhett had one for a rental. When I tried for the last time to shut the door of my Subaru with all three of our kids inside and it bounced back at me I headed straight for the dealer... after taking Morgan to her friend's birthday party of course, I was desperate, not suicidal. Anyway, now I can go to the grocery store and have enough room for the passengers and the groceries. Life is good!

I hope you are enjoying your van I know I love mine and I am afraid of it being to small soon(you should not have this problem though. I love the pictures of Idaho and am so glad you posted them because I did not have a camera the whole trip so those are the only pictures I have as well.

Cody is so adorable!!! Yay for new video... thanks for the hints Char:) I CANNOT BELIEVE MORGAN IS DOING HER MULTIPLICATION TABLES!!! She is my little smarty pants! And Braden is Reading!!! What kind of genius factory are you running over there? Kiss the babies for me. I want to see you guys soon. Now that you have a minivan you can pack them all up and come pick me and joey up and we can drive around. Wait.... does that really sound like a good idea?!?!
