Backyard fun!

The girls have been having a lot of fun playing together! One day last week, we headed out back for some fun with bubbles and chalk. I had to take a picture of Nora and Clara in the flip flops! We just got Nora's on major sale. She was so excited to have a pair to match "sis-sis." Not even two and she is already discovered to love of the flip flop!

Bringing out the new/old things!

When something new for Lila is brought out from storage, the big girls must try out their old stuff!

How many Lynches does it take to feed a baby her first bite of cereal?

The answer if four! One mommy, one daddy and two very involved big sisters! On Sunday night, Lila got her first taste of baby oatmeal. She LOVED it! It was as if she was saying "Finally, I have been watching my sisters eat for nearly six months...it is about time I got to try!" I just love how these fun moments are shared with such enthusiasm from Clara and Nora!

Polka Dots!

Here are eight of the Riverbrook Girls! Safe to say we all like shopping at Gymboree! These little lovely girls are from three families and the Dutchers will be adding another little girl to the mix this January!

Nothin' But A Good Time

I have always been a fan of the old 80's hair bands so what fun it was to see Poison and Def Leppard at Fiddler's last night. We went with Amy and Mike Wade and we had a blast!! What a great show!

Salt Lake City Fun!

Checking out the big shark at the Dinosaur Museum

Each night the kids enjoyed a movie and popcorn before going to bed!

A fun day at a bounce house!

A couple of cuties!

All the kids!

This past weekend we took a quick trip to Salt Lake City to see the Jacobsons. Clara and Noah have been friends since they were one and have missed each other so much. Nora and Isaac are four months apart and our newest ones are two months apart, Ezra being just two months older then Lila. We had a blast! The girls were great on the plane, despite being on the runway for an hour and a half before our one hour flight. When we got there, Clara and Noah gave big hugs and then the kids were off and running! I don't think they stopped the entire weekend! Marie and Zac were great hosts, cooking great meals and making us feel right at home. The kids got along just perfectly, even our own girls avoided arguing! I have a feeling we will be back!

A Day at Jumbo Resevior

Joe was in town for the last camping trip, so we decided to make it a day trip...less to pack and less laundry to do! Thank goodness we did because they had a big storm and I could just imagine that the tent blowing over on Clara, Nora and Brian would not have been very well recieved! We had so much fun playing in the sun. We rode the boat and jet skied! I even rode on the squirly little stand up and then really got brave and tried to wake board. Very sore today, but I did get up for about three whole seconds before swallowing half of the lake. If you know me very well, you know I hate my face in the water, so I really went out on a limb, because my face was for sure in the water, a lot! The girls did great of course! They LOVE LOVE LOVE to ride the jet skis. Clara drove it herself this time, with someone with her of course. The girls also swam around in the lake with life jackets on. At the end of the day, we sang Happy Birthday to Beau who is almost one!

Five Months!

My little Lila is growing and growing! She gives us great smiles and giggles and makes this great sound...kind of like the old "What's upppppppppppppppppp" commerical. Does that explain it? We love our little Lila Bean!

And then they sleep...

Good night!

Good night sweet Clara

Good night sweet Nora

Good night sweet Lila

I once heard some great advice to take a picture of your kids sleeping, because they are just so sweet when they are! I love these pictures!

Lila's new afghan!

Gram has made all of the girls an afghan that coordinates with thier room, and Lila got hers after the T-ball game! It is so perfect in her room! Thanks Gram!

T-Ball, Part II

T-ball season is winding down, so Gram and Papa came out to watch Clara!

The Fan Club

Finally...

I may have a thumb sucker in this bunch!

A Bicycle for two!

Clara got a princess bike for her third birthday and at some point this summer she outgrew it. Nora also decided she needed to ride a bike like her sis! So to the Internet I went in search of a My Little Pony bike! It is perfect! Clara loves it and rides it so well. I think the princess bike was too small for her so she had a hard time riding it. It is just perfect for Nora...only she needs to be pushed, but soon enough they will be quite the bike riding duo!

How Nora Eats Ice Cream...

Good to the last drop!
