Piano Lessons

The girls were at Viv's Tuesday and Audrey had hit her head on the ground so I thought I might distract her by letting her play the Piano. Well of course the others wanted to play as well. Below are pictures and a couple videos of the girls.

This is just a funny video of Audrey being stingy.

Jaylee was a skunk for Halloween. It looks like she was enjoying that candy.

Happy Halloween

I am sure you can see that Paul was Red Power Ranger for Halloween. He picked the outfit out probably over a month ago and I was surprised that, that was actually what he turned out being. He usually changes his mind a lot so I was really surprised. I think he looked so cute though, the sword was actually something he got from the State Fair which is why it is Blue not red. Liane and Paul M. also dressed up for Halloween, I thought they all looked cute!

Gotcha!

I finally figured out how to get a picture of Tyler without him running away or trying to cover his face. He wasn't about to move while dad had clippers so close to his hair. Wouldn't want an "Oopsy" now would we.

This picture makes Gib look like has a huge turkey tail going on, it is actually something hanging on the wall behind him. Too funny!

Then, she thought tummy surfing may be kind of cool.






Tried the knee thing, but that didn't work out so well.

Finally, she decided sitting was the best.

Jaylee thinks she is just as big as everyone else. She was showing us how she could skateboard. First, she thought she would just push it.

Patty took this video. This was the second day out and we were at sea all day. The waters were really rough, supposedly because we were following a storm. Anyway, Gib, Blaine, Bob, and Janice were sick most of the day, as was pretty much everyone else on the ship. Patty, Deana, and I had medicine, patches, bracelets, you name it we had it, so we didn't feel too bad. We explored the ship and played bingo while everyone else slept. Dad wasn't sick at all, but we never found him or he could have played with us too. The ship was huge so if we didn't make plans to meet somewhere, it was pretty much impossible to find anyone.

Alaska

This is a way delayed update. This summer, Dad, Deana, Patty, and I, and our spouses, went on a cruise to Alaska. That was such a fun trip. I think we would all do it again in a heartbeat. This was us on formal night. We made stops in Juneau, Skagway, Ketchican, and Victoria, B.C. We also spent a day cruising Tracy Arm Fjord. That place was absolutely gorgeous. I will post some pictures above.

Since Carrie is being a slacker, I thought I would add this adorable picture of the girls. They were Little Woodland Fairies for Halloween. Scott and Krista submitted this picture to a local radio station who was having a halloween costume contest and they won 3rd place. So cute!! We sure are going to miss them when they move to Montana.

The Weston Girls - Just short of 9 Months

Every Tuesday Krista brings the girls over to Vivian's house so she can go to the gym. This is in fact my favorite day of the work week but why wouldn't it be they are so stinking cute. The girls are just short of 9 months old, I cannot believe it but they are all growing into their own personality. Audrey is the thief, Madison can be but I think Audrey holds the title anything her sisters have (especially Madison) she wants. Madison will take things back but Zoie not so much. Madison is the most mobile, the other two move a lot too but not as much as Madison she has places to go and things to see. Zoie is very laid back and just does her own thing while the other two fight over something to play with Zoie just enjoys her toys.

Audrey and Madison have two teeth on the bottom, and their hair is starting to get longer so they don't look like the have a mo-hawk so much anymore. Zoie still doesn't have any teeth however she has started putting more baby sounds together such as goo, and gaa! The other two talk but just whatever noise comes out. Although yesterday Audrey was pretty close to saying Mama! I wouldn't be surprised if that was her first word. They are growing like weeds.

Most recently at the Weston home the girls have been locked into a specific area with child gates. Audrey and Zoie don't really mind being locked in however Madison thinks it is unacceptable. She loves to stand up so she will climb up and hold onto the gate, and in some instances tries to get her foot in the fencing. If someone is in her vicinity she will cry and sort of shake the gate in a cry to be picked up. It is pretty cute to watch her she does not like that gate!

It is truly amazing how much they are growing and learning every day. They are true old fashioned entertainment!

Below you will find pictures that I took because mom(Deana) wanted new pictures of the girls!


See if you can figure out which is which :)


I just thought this picture turned out so good!


Audrey on bottom, Madison on top (She stole the binki from Audrey)


Zoie


This is usually what the girls play with while at Vivs. Usually it is just Audrey and Madison but today Zoie thought she would see what all the fuss was about. Honestly I don't think she thought it was as exciting as the other two, she was only over there for a couple minutes while the other two can play there for half an hour.


Audrey and Madison love to climb on each other, Zoie, or anything else in their path. Here Audrey wants to play with the car seat Madison is in. She was trying to get her out of the way but failed in attempt as the couch was right next to this car seat so she couldn't push her out of the way.


Here Zoie was trying to get a toy and the Audrey and Madison thought what a perfect time to dog pile. In this scene Madison beat Audrey.


I had to work really hard to get all of their attention at the same time. Here is what Krista thought looked like a mug shot!


This was the best picture I came up with that had all three of them. When I said I had to work for their attention I was. I was fighting the Dogs barking on the staircase so the girls were constantly looking up instead of at the camera. Lucy was in the room with me so trying to keep her our of the shot was hard. Then I had Viv in the other room on the phone so they kept looking that way. Although I think all that hard work paid off as this is a great shot.

Well that is all I have for now, I will try and be better about posting new pictures. I know how fast they grow and everyone would love to see them. I better get to work however!

Love you all hope you are doing good.

Love,
Carrie

August 9, 2008

Mom and I went over to Krista and Scott's to babysit the girls and being the picture paparazzi that I am I of course had to get current pictures of the girls.

Although the other two are looking away I think this is a really good picture of Zoie.

Krista put these cute little outfits on the girls with butt ruffles so I had to get a picture of that.

Just after the above pictures they all tumbled sideways and ended up on Madison. Mom fixed them a little and we took the picture here below.

Madison was actually totally okay with the set up she was comfortable, the other too though were done right after the picture was taken.

Butt ruffles and feet!

Mom caught Audrey at the right moment doesn't it make a cute picture!

Zoie was playing in her jumper.

Madison was hiding behind this thing I just thought it was so cute and funny.

Grandbabies - Father's Day

Father's Day 2008 at Ranell and Gibs. We had a really good time as I am sure everyone else did. These are Deana's grand babies, aren't they cute!

I just thought this was a really good picture of Paul he isn't being all cheesy!
