These are a few of my FAVorite kids.

I can admit it. My sister and I are pretty dorky. But you have to admit these kids look pretty cute all dressed alike! We really only have two matching outfits. One of which they wore Easter Sunday and then this one. The girls really like dressing the same. I am not sure the boys care but they don't protest it either.

We tried several shots and several positions. The standing still thing wasn't really getting any expressions. Darcy bent over and then they all followed her lead.

They have some really cute grins!

Kristi had a good idea to try and get them to hold hands and run. This was a lot of fun and kept them busy and laughing. They ran and ran until we finally convinced them to turn around.

The way back was pretty stinking cute. They giggled and snorted as they ran...


And if you can't see the look in Caleb's eye, it is saying... "hey watch this guys. If I fall down while holding their hands they all will fall too! And down they all went. It was pretty funny. Fortunately no one got hurt and they grabbed hands again and off they ran. (only to be pulled down again by the smallest one in the group.)

Who doesn't love climbing a fence. I thought this picture was one of the best. They are all so cute. They really have learned to play well together. We have from left to right... Pierson age 5; Darcy age 3; Maylin age 4, Kylie age 4 and Caleb age 3. I could just squeeze them all. I say our family is so blessed to have them in our lives.

And what photo shoot is complete without a little wrestling and spinning. Uncle Ian is so much fun!
Then it was off to the Spring Fling at Church. I'll post more about that tomorrow.

We may be a bit dorky, but we sure have some cute kids!
And I love how much my guys are totally in love with yours even after only being together two weekends now. I hear about Pier-swen and May-yin many times a day, and Caleb even typically wants to thank Jesus for them during his nightly prayers.
That sweetness makes up for his mischievousness in episodes like taking the entire group of cousins down...

It was fun to see the front of the kids on the fence after looking at their cute behinds on Kristi's page. Ha! And you guys are NOT dorks- you are AWESOME moms who have a great talent I really envy for finding matching clothes! :)

They are so "stinking" cute! The running series is great. You can just see it in Caleb's eyes when he is ready to "bring them all down". Love the ones on the fence - yours and Kristi's. My cup is full!
Love, LaoLao

What great pictures! You ought to consider taking the rear runnung and front fence shots at least once per year to follow their changing lives and compare with earlier years.
