Thursday, May 16, 2013. Rachel Lillian Carpenter is Born! However, she did make it and after 4 pushes, little baby Rachel came right out! She was what they call "stunned" because she came out so fast and they had to try to stimulate her to cry by flicking her heel and such. She did start to cry a little eventually and all the while Daddy was watching our little on e a nd got to cut the umbilical cord. She was 7 pounds and 15 ounces and was 20 3/4 inches long! As a little side note ,. Thats wonderful....

His poomsae to complete (a routine of punches, kicks and moves that lasts around 2 minutes or more depending). His sa bang chuck (a series of kicks and some punches that are done in 4 different directions). And a board break (he does these every other test). Since I was preg...

Thursday, November 22, 2012. Josiah never likes getting his picture taken, but I caught this one when he was not expecting it! No Thanksgiving is complete without the cook sticking his tongue out at me! I have one from last year too, but I didn't post it as it turned out. Daniel and Caleb watching a show before all the festivities started. Grandpa looking at his phone and Naomi with her hair braided all pretty, courtesy of Grandma. Tuesday, November 20, 2012.

Friday, December 07, 2012. Before and After Caleb and Daniel's Birthday Party. This is a classic picture of the twins! Caleb showing off his new book and Daniel with a funny look on his face looking at his new book from Grandma and Grandpa. Each year, Grandma makes a picture book for them that shows their growth throughout the year. They enjoy pulling them out and looking at all the old books! Naomi and Grandpa having a nice time together! When he tried to get near. As it turns out, she let him play ...

Friday, December 07, 2012. Caleb and Daniel's 5th Birthday! Caleb and Daniel blowing out the candles on their cake. They were very interested in licking the frosting off the candles afterward too! Here is a link to us singing "Happy Birthday" to our twin five-year-olds! It is pretty hard to believe they are five now! They are d efi nit ely g rowing up! We had this cake made at Rosaur's and though they didn't have the "car kit". To put on the cake, I assured them we had it covered! Time to open presents!

Saturday, February 25, 2012. Naomi's 2nd B-day- Part 1. For Naomi's 2nd birthday, Grandma and Grandpa Walker made their way to our house for the weekend to celebrate. Grandma brought this cute little birthday outfit for her to wear and the birthday sunglasses also. When she first tried on the pretty tu-tu, she kept playing with it and also picking at the cupcake on her shirt. It took her a while to warm up to her new duds, but eventually she did and was strutting around like a princess in them. More abou...

Tuesday, December 25, 2012. Christmas 2012- Part 1. Caleb got a few new costumes to add to his collection this Christmas and he wasted no time in putting them on. He is a very serious little army guy here with all his paraphernalia as you can see. He is wearing his new dragon cape here and is holding his new dinosaur toy as well. He loved all his gifts and was busily playing with them all morning long. Christmas 2012- -part 2. For Josiah this Christmas, it was the year of Angry Birds. Grandma took hi...

Monday, May 28, 2012. Watch My Garden Grow! This year I have started a garden in the back yard. Our landlords had a plot already set up when we got here and all I had to do is rid it of weeds (no easy task mind you) and plant! I have learned thus far that gardening is NOT for the weak of knees if you know what I mean! 65279;. 65279; . These I planted later than the other things and they are pretty big now! Wednesday, May 23, 2012. Daddy and Naomi walking to the ceremony. Josiah was trying to hid...

Thursday, April 26, 2012. Josiah Going for High Blue! Josiah before his test. Josiah is keeping continuing to earn his Taekwondo belts every two months. I am not sure when this pace will slow, but I think as he gets closer to black that the intervals between tests will get longer. Master Justin told me before that they do this smaller interval at the early stages to keep the children encouraged to keep moving forward. And the second is of him doing the verbal portion. Josiah during the test. Josiah after...
