A Party 2 DYE 4!

What a party we had at the Veeks Dying eggs and enjoying some grub. The kids would have done a million eggs if they could have. The funny thing was that if you just set a color in front of them they would dye one after thee other in that exact same color. It was pretty fun to watch them. We had three different tactics for the kids to try. The original "dunk and soak," the speckle method, and tye-dye. Many eggs were hurt(cracked) during this dye fest, but the first casualty of war was Morgan's hair. We were setting up and Micah looked over at Morgan and said,"Morgan your hair is in the dye." It wasn't purple for long. Deeken got pretty bored during the process, so he thought he could work on getting that tooth to come through. All the kids fingers were "Pretty" like this thanks to the speckle method. But it was still tons of fun. "Two Eggies!" When the eggs were starting to dwindle, Micah started hording. Admire some of the kids handy work. By the end Deeken was wiped out and so were the parents.

Sunshine = Park Time

Eat your beans Deeken!

Another day, another Vegtable. Today it is Green Beans. Maybe if I divert my eyes, it won't taste so bad. It always ends with a smile. Maybe he just thinks this food stuff is all a bad joke.

Funny with a little super man

Now that Deeken has a tooth he is making lots of funny faces and funny noises(raspberries). I think it is because he is rubbing his tongue against that funny thing that has appeared in his mouth. The kids think he is talking and make up all sorts of things to tell me what he has said. I love this stage. I find it so amazing that they can tighten all of their muscles in their little bodies like this. He really is our little "Super Man." We love him.

PEAS!

Lots of fun with peas! Question. Were kids really meant to like baby food vegtables? Deeken has not been a fan of any so far. Here are some cute pics that pretty much tell the story. Side note--Brenley pointed out to me that Deeken really likes to do this with his thumb. He uses it to dig in and pivots, moving his fingers around. Daddy got some on his finger while trying to feed Deeken, so the other kids wanted to give it a try. Deeken is pretty happy his brother and sister agree that peas, if not grown in Granpa's garden, are not very good at all.

Conference Sunday with the Veeks at the Temple

We LOVE our Friends the Veeks. In fact Noah tells Morgan he is going to marry her at least once every time he sees her, although it is usually more like twenty. We have high hopes for Micah and Ethan too, but they haven't gotten to marriage talk quite yet. Both mine and Sierra's husbands had to work on Conference Sunday. They were both not very happy about it, and neither were their wives. But we banded together and watched morning conference and then went to the temple. We were quite a sight to see, us and our 6 kids. We usually are, a sight to see, whenever we go anywhere together. Beautiful Micah Noelle Micah and Morgan The Veek Women! Morgan, Sierra, and Emily Ethan or better known around our house as E MAN My kids really like Sierra. She is a great mom. Somedays I think they wish SHE was their mom. The happy couple. Noah and Morgan Farr The 4 compodres! When they all get to play together, it is more like corraling the livestock or trying to tame wild monkeys then watching kids. They have a great time together, usually. This is all six of them. You can't under estimate what it took us to get this picture. But have you every seen a cuter bunch of kids?
