Rain...a BIG deal in AZ!

The minute it starts to rain, we head out to the patio in order to get the full enjoyment of it!

Sam, Dev and Mollie never cease to entertain us! This is 'us' being entertained!

 Aren't Sam's under's cute!

 Isn't Mollie's bottom cute!!! Oh and this is Allison's sign language for, "Don't take a picture of me!"

 I could hold Taylor for hours! (In the daytime! A little too past my night-time baby holding age!)

 With a new baby around, Mollie and Sam are learning all kinds of new skills...Mollie has her baby's diaper all laid out and is giving her a good scrubbing with a wipey!

Sam's skills include pretending to be a baby. He climbed into Devin's shirt and said he was ready to go to the hospital so he could 'come out'!

 Nice face Devin!!! You should have seen the delivery of Sam! Hilarious!

Oh! Here he comes!

We just never know what Devin and Sam are going to do next!

Bastian is FIVE and Ande is THREE!

Bastian and Ande's birthday party was really something! Bastian had " Lego" theme and Ande had "Barbies"!

 Bastian, Grandpa and I went birthday shopping. Bastian had two sets of "Legos" in his hand until he saw the Bat cave! Goodbye "Legos"!

Bastian helped us pick Ande's gifts. He chose a Lalaloopsy bus and two Lalaloopsie dolls for Ande. Also, a Beauty and the Beast tea set. Good choices!

 Ande is all-girl!  She is all ready for the tea party!

 Part of the fun was that the girls got dressed up and became the latest Barbie dolls, packaged and ready to be adored!

 Nina and Elle make adorable Barbies!

Millie enjoyed the tea party!

 Alli had gone all out with the party games! On this one, the kids got to punch in the tissue paper to see what prize was behind it!

Look how excited Bastian is to see what his prize was!

Presents galore!  What sweet kids they are!
