Baby Matt

Sherri sent this pic of my Matthew!! He is such a CUTIE!!

More SILLIES!

As you know, my youngest boys say the funniest things! Dillan especially likes to make me laugh when I pick him up from school... Yesturday he said, "Mom, Mr. Shenk says that he wants a Hippopotamus for Christmas, but they are STINKY!! If you buy a real one, they are STINKY!!"

Rock Family Portrait at Kiddie Candids

Here we are!! All the Rocks!! The sitting itself was a nightmare! The slot I had tried to reserve for some reason ended up not being saved for us and then... as if that wasn't enough... they informed me the largest group they could handle was a group of 10!! GRRR... I told them they would have to work with us and make it work.. and they did! Hehe Anywho, I had to Paintshop this one a little to get the background to not show the rail at the top because our group was too big but hey it turned out great!! :)

More Funnies from Dillan!!

We are currently birdie sitting and training one of the birds from Tyson's class at school. Her name is Olivia and she is SUPER wild!! In an effort to get her to be more comfortable (and hopefully easier to tame!) I put a piece of millet into her cage. (Millet is a treat that birdies LOVE!! It is kind of a branch looking thing with TONS of little tiny seeds all over it.) Anywho, Matt and I were on the computers playing a game and Dillan comes downstairs and says... "Mom, that bird from Tyson's class, chewed her millet NAKED!" ROFL SO cute!! Thought you all would get a kick out of that! :)

Halloween Costume Pics!!

I finally got a chance to get our costume pics posted!! Matt got this year off and didn't dress up. That is why he isn't in the pics! Next year it will be HIS year to dress up and go out with the kids! :)

What Color Crayon Are YOU?? I am....

You Are a Green Crayon

Your world is colored in harmonious, peaceful, natural colors. While some may associate green with money, you are one of the least materialistic people around. Comfort is important to you. You like to feel as relaxed as possible - and you try to make others feel at ease. You're very happy with who you are, and it certainly shows! Your color wheel opposite is red. Every time you feel grounded, a red person does their best to shake you.

What Color Crayon Are You?

FUNNY BIRDS!!

As many of you know, Tulip is a VERY NAUGHTY little birdie! She LOVES to torment poor Splash!! Well, her NEW favorite game goes something like this...

Splash is sitting quietly, minding his own business and along comes Tulip. She scoots up real close to him so they are sitting side by side. Splash, while tense at first, soon relaxes and begins to play with toys or preen. Meanwhile Tulip, while keeping a close eye on Splash's face, leans down ever so slowly and proceeds to bite him on the BUTT!! Soon her little bite is followed by screams and yelling from Splash as he gives her what for, only to be bitten on the butt again a few minutes later!!! ROFL

SILLY BIRDS!!!

Brittany, Tyson, Dillan, and Cory's face were all drawn and created by themselves!! Matt, Cory and I used templates from http://www.pumpkinlady.com/ Brittany, Cory, Matt and I were the carvers! Tyson tried his hand at carving but sliced his finger open and decided he wasn't ready for it! Poor kid! Anywho, hope you enjoy!! They are a little blurry but it's because I took them in the dark! hehe

Super Cute Tidbit from Dillan!

Yes, yes, I know I am LAME!!! I have been so focused on "house" I haven't been putting anything up on here!! I also didn't realize there were comments!! GAAAH!! I'm soo sorry! I am making a vow today to stay on top of my blog and add stuff at least once a week, maybe even more!!! :) Anywho, here is the Tidbit I wanted to share:

When I picked Dillan up today, the first thing he said to me is, "Mitchell is my BEST FRIEND!" So I replied, "Oh yeah, why is Mitchell your best friend?" His answer was, "Because the back of his hair is ROCK SOLID!!" LOL "AND he lets me spin my docket on his back and he doesn't care!!" ROFL!!! (for those who won't know what a docket is, it is a plastic envelope that they have the kindergarteners use because they don't have room for backpacks for 25 kids.) Anywho, I got a HUGE kick out of that and thought you all might enjoy!! HeeHee

Do You Have a Pesky Dragon Bothering You??

Need a Knight in shining armor?? Dillan is your man!!

He can slay dragons with one stroke of his sword!!

Worried that he might get hurt?? NO WAY!!

Dillan is the toughest Knight in the Kingdom!!

Kim and Shelly have a SUPER fun playroom in their house full of Knight costumes, castles, dragons, kings, queens, princesses and almost anything you could ever imagine. Tyson and Dillan both had a BLAST in there! This was Dillan's favorite costume!! :)

Cory the Cannonball KING

Here he is!! The Cannonball KING!!! I think Cory could Cannonball into the pool ALL DAY LONG! He LOVED it!! Matt and I decided Cory is really a fish in human form!! Watch out Grandma! You are about to get....

SPLASHED!!!! LOL Pretty impressive!!

Hiking with Dad in St. George

Recently, we went to St. George with Grandma and Grandpa Rock and stayed at Kim and Shelly's beautiful home! Behind it there is a Turtle Habitat. Matt wanted to go hiking and Britt was the only person that wanted to go with him. They got up bright and early one morning and got some BEAUTIFUL pictures while they were hiking around!

Britt even tried her hand at photography and did a REALLY good job!! :)

They were soo excited when they found this lizard and took a picture just for me!!

TYSON LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!!

Here it is!! Tyson's first lost tooth!! He got it good and loose and Mom pulled it out! He is such a brave kid! He only noticed it was loose yesturday morning and had it out by the afternoon! Way to go Ty!! :)

There it is again!! So small!! He is soo proud! :)

The toothless almost 8 year old grin begins!! :)

Birdie Shower!

SOOO RUDE!! First you stick me in the Shower....THEN take pictures of me!!

You have to admit I do look cool with my new Spikey Feathers!

Always calm, cool and collected!! Even after a shower!! SO pretty!!

Our ADORABLE little Birdies!!

Beautiful Tulip and Colorful Splash! They are both sooo much fun!! Since getting Splash, Tulip has really mellowed out! She has turned into quite the sweetie! She always follows commands well and is just generally a sweetheart! Except when I have to do things like pull out broken blood feathers or give her medicine then she is a FIGHTER!! LOL But we still love her to pieces! When she takes her bath it is the cutest thing in the world! I will try to post video soon!

Splash on the other hand is VERY hyperactive and crazy! But also sweet! :) He gives the sweetest kisses! He is VERY active! Always looking for something to nibble on or move around! His new favorite food is broccoli! He won't take baths yet but we are working on it!
