Samantha's 1st Halloween

At the last minute I found this WAY cute Tinkerbell costume at Costco. So here's or little Tink! And she slept through the whole trick or treating!! But Mama had fun dressing her up

My computer is having problems with my photo program so I don't have any pictures for the other kids to post yet. But will get them up as soon as I can.

WallyBird

Kendyl was in a play at the middle school this last week. She got to be a Wallybird in Hansel and Gretel. What is a Wallybird? Yep I had to ask. It's the little birds that follow Hansel and Gretel eating the cookie crumbs.



Kendyl All dressed up! Awe so super CUTE!!! Can I take you home Wallybird?

Our cousins came to watch too. Thanks Dylan, Savannah and Ainsley!

WE FOUND OUR HOME!

We're here in WA now! We found a house to rent that has a yard! Kendyl started school on Monday and yesterday we found a preschool for Ashley. So we're here a loving it!!

WE'RE MOVING!!!

Sorry no cute pictures of the kids. But wanted to share our good news..... no we're not having another kid, we're moving back to WASHINGTON!!!! Yeah we can't wait (and won't have to) because we leave in less then three weeks! Tons to do pack, get rid of junk, find a place to live in the Seattle area... and the list goes on and on. So I won't be around much (unless Samantha is up all night) but everything is good and we're all happy to be moving back toward home!!!

Kindergarten Graduation

Congratulations Kendyl! You did it!!!

You have grown up so much this last year!

I'm so proud of you! You have learned how to read. How to spell words by sounding out the letters. You are very smart with numbers and love to add them together.
Don't stop learning now! You can do anything if you keep trying!
Have a great summer ridding your two-wheeler bike!!!

How Kendyl would love to dress everyday is she could.

Smile Ashley!

Ethan with his pirate tattoo

Samantha loves her fingers!!!

I have to remind myself that I do love my children and that they are cute and sweet. Because by the end of the day they have worn me out and all I want them to do is go to bed for a few days!! How come children have so much energy and can keep going and going? I wish that I had even half the energy that they do!

I'm so BIG!!!

Samantha wouldn't wait until her daddy got home so I got the video camera out and caught her first time rolling over! Sorry Daddy!

Sick Day

Samantha got sick over the weekend. Took her into the doctor on Monday. We were there for 4 hours! Chest X-rays, blood work and other tests. Found out the next day that she has RSV. Thanks goodness it's not pneumonia (which the doctor first thought it was). So now we get to spend a lot of time at (so we don't get anyone else sick) home and wait it out.
When we got home she slept for 5 hours! Poor sick little girl. She's doing better now, but still has coughing fits, and keeps mama up all night.

Mama's little helper

Here "Santha!" Ethan wanted to give Samantha her binki even if she didn't really want it.

Two hand works best to smash it all the way in!

What a nice big brother! Right?

He's all ready!

Two year old boys are a HANDFUL!!!! About a week before Ethan turned 2 he started getting into EVERYTHING! He has to see how it works, he tries to break it, then "fix" it. So Mama has been saying "I'm going to box Ethan up and mail him to Grandma's house." Well guess what? He's all ready to go!

He has his water cup and a little light and I think even a cracker! Grandma he should be arriving at you house sometime next week! (I told the post office to keep the box right side up)
The girls were all for it too! They wanted us to take him right then (9:30 at night) to the post office! But then he wanted out. Darn it!

"Twinkle Twinkle"

Ethan loves to sing "Twinkle Twinkle" to Samantha.
But when he's done mom better be ready.

Samantha's first movie

Better late then never right?
Here's Samantha when she's about a week
old. I can't believe how fast time flies!

Ethan's Motorcycle!

Grandma gave Ethan this toy motorcycle for his
birthday and he had a blast with it. You can hear
the girls laughing because he was way too funny!
Hope you enjoy.

Please excuse the messy house. We were still
in the middle of Ethan opening his gifts when he
took off "riding" his bike!

Family Picture Day!!

Ok Daddy we're ready take our picture!

Smile and say CHEESE!!!

Yeah we're done let's go play now!

Look at me!

So big!

Super cute!!

4 weeks old already!

Welcome to the new Higham's blog!

It's started now let's just see if I keep up with it!

I guess I just wanted in easier way to share pictures of the kiddos and I'm always on the computer anyway... So I hope I don't bore you too much.
