Countdown to Edward, um, I mean 'Breaking Dawn'

So in anticipation of the 4th book in the 'twilight' series to come out, I have added a countdown clock. I am very excited to read the book. Hopefully we will finally find out if she will turn into a vampire...I hope so. She has to choose Edward over Jacob!! We will be getting off the lake at shasta after houseboating with Marks family for a week.....first stop will be to get the new book so I can read it all the way back to Arizona!!!! :)

Mohawk


Mark cut the boys' hair the other night. I was busy with the little kids, so I didn't see Josh and Matt, until they were all cut short and nice. Well, when I was downloading pics onto the computer I came across a few shots that I had to share. Pretty good mohawk Josh!!!!













Swinging


So we got a swingset a few weeks ago. I was very excited, as excited as Cait. I better start at the beginning... One morning I told Caitlin to quit jumping on the couches. We have a trampoline, so I told her to go play outside. She looked up at me and said (with her puppy brown eyes) "but mom, we don't have a swing for me to swing on." So, for family home evening that night, we went to walmart and bought one. So again, we were all excited, especially Mark. He started reading the instructions and the estimated time to build the swingset was 12-15 hours. So Excited! (He is such a good guy, he put it all together on one of his Fridays off.) Any who, to make a long story short, it is a huge day when a parent no longer has to spend hours outside pushing the little ones on the swing.....2 days ago, Caitlin learned how to pump her legs from a dead stop and get going full force. She loves it. It is a new found freedom for her! I think it is much like flying. She loves to go as high as she can. In fact, when I tried to take pictures, she was very upset that she was not going at full swing when I was taking pictures. She kept scowling that she could go higher and I needed to wait. Very cute!!! Here is one of the non scowl pictures I was able to get, even though she wasn't 'super' high'.
