Bigfoot Fun Run 2010

This is my first run. I am a VERY slow runner. Seriously I walk faster! But I did it, and other than the first quarter mile, I ran! Yay me! It was fun to go with my little sister-in-law Kelsey and my bff April. If you sign up for these races and go and complete them they give you a commemorative T-shirt sometimes you can get a medal! Notice Kelsey in the middle is not wearing a T-shirt or a medal.....she did not sign up on line before the race. However she is very fast and came in 2nd place!!!! Yay Kelsey! Poor April forgot her music so she ran with me I should say she pranced along side me cheering me on so I wouldn't quit! It is good to have good friends.

Racing

This was June 12, 2010. My very first race. I walked it and it was awesome. I am now constantly looking for another race to walk or run. I really love the feeling of accomplishment I get from completing a race. This is my new "baby" to help me lose the weight from 6 pregnancies. So far I am loving every minute of it!

Garage sale sheets

I saw these 2 sheets at a garage sale for $1.00 and thought oooohhh I can make a dress with those!

The most twirly dress I have made for the girls and it is a HIT!!!

The tie is supposed to be in front but we both like it better in the back.

She is having so much fun twirling! She totally fell over after this shot!

You can't really see the pattern it is a large floral print, but check out that twirl! Are you jealous that your mom doesn't sew for you?

Opossum

These creatures are very vicious. It wasn't even afraid of me!! It is hissing at me and getting ready to attack. Nonetheless it was very exciting to the kids! They built it a house and want to know if they can have it for a pet!

How our baby does grow and grow!

8 months old and yes he lets go sometimes!

About 6 months old.

Reed about 7 months old, yes he is standing!

Reed about 6 months old.


6 months again, rockin the fireman hat.

Baptism

Having fun trying on hair pretties after the baptism.Erin, Violet, Owen, Hudson, Kaden, TJ, Rebekah, Reed


TJ and dad with Gma and pa Narvasa after the baptism.

Daddy and TJ before the baptism.

Trevor, TJ, Annika, adn Rob Hamilton. One of the little girls TJ shared a baptism with.

How do you LEGO?

The favorite spot for the little kids is IN the lego bin. I just don't see how it can be very comfortable.

The more the merrier! This tends to drive TJ crazy as it is harder to find the legos you need when they are burried under siblings!

What did your corn produce this year?

Well this year our corn grew taller than the shop. Even though it got ignored quite a bit! Notice the lovely gap in the front row...perfect for a family photo!

Erin took a picture of our beautiful and might I add deliciouso! corn.

The kids....Erin, Bekah and Violet, TJ and Reed, Owen. Surprisingly this was the first photo and the only one that turned out with everyone looking at the camera. We had a friend take about 15 photos of the entire family and again the first shot turned out to be the best. Sorry kids for making you stay there so long!

Alternative ways of recycling those plastic bags.

TJ asked me if he could use one of our plastic bags. I said yes if he used it where I could watch him, to make sure everyone was safe. This is what he came up with.
Erin's "swim suit" is a little small I think! This picture reminds me of the movie Tommy Boy when Chris Farley does the Fat guy in a little suit and wrips the jacket!

So proud of her home made swim suit!

TJ made one for Violet too.

Bekah wanted a two piece but settled for a tank top!

After they finished making themselves new swim suits they proceded to jump off the table you see in the photos and "dive" into the pool. It was some fabulous entertainment while I was nursing!

Those are NOT pajamas!

Ha Ha Ha mom! How do you like my pajamas? Bekah's turn in the poodle skirt.
Buzz Light year to the bedroom!

Even with his eyes closed he is such a sweet little duck.

Welcome home Bekah!

TJ having fun with pipe cleaners and a towel he was told to put in the laundry room. This is the bottom of Bekah's feet on the 4th of July. The flip flops she was wearing were brand new and white! This is what happens when you walk around somewhat shoeless apparently!
Bekah and her new baby brother! She is totally in love with him!

Welcome baby Reed!

TJ and his new brother! We have now evened out the score with 3 of each!
Owen, no longer the baby and his new baby!

Big sisters loving the new baby! Bekah was up north with grandma and pa Hoffman while we had the baby.

Missing Bekah who is in Tacoma. The kids were happy to come to the hospital. Grandma Narvasa watched them for us while I was busy having the baby. She braved the outing all by herself. It was nice to see the other kids! I missed them.

Flour fiasco!

Violet and Owen love to play in the laudry room, it is kind of their club house. One morning while cleaning up after breakfast I heard too much giggling and decided to check it out. This is the face I saw when I opened the door. Now you just can't get mad at that face even if you have already told him at least 20 times to stop stabbing the bag of flour with skewers and plastic forks! I just got out the camera and documented it instead. When I vacuumed him off I wish I recorded that!
