.goodbye trevor.

Cousin Trevor left for the MTC ( then Argentina) Wednesday, February 27, 2013.  We wanted to say goodbye so we dropped by the night before.  His family asked that he make cookies for the last time (since he makes them the best) so he made a batch.  See you in 2 years!

.rub a dub dub.

Every morning after breakfast and after the big boys head off to school, Levi and Penny take a bath.  Fun times!  Penny loves to look at herself in the bathtub drain, splash, scream, and attempt to get Levi's toys.  Levi loves to spray water in Penny's face, not share any of his bath toys with Penny, and laugh at Penny.  This particular day Penny was making some pretty funny faces.

.annual francom easter egg hunt.

3.23.13

I look forward to the Easter brunch/egg hunt at the Francoms each year.  The weather is always nice and the grass is green.  The food is delicious and the backyard is perfect for the kids.  It's a good time for everyone.  The kids played on the swingset, jumped in the bouncy house, and ate tons of candy.  The adults ate real food, visited and chased after kids.  

 I love this picture where Levi and Hannah collided.  The little kids were supposed to run one way and the big kids the other.  

.penny kat.

Taking pictures of Penny is one of my favorite things to do.  Here she is walking around in the backyard after church (3.17.13).  She's walking all over the place now.  A few things about Penny at  13 months.
