The adventures of Chompy, Snora, and Finn Ma'gin: July 2015
http://marcusandtara.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 18, 2015. And then this past week they participated in a little week long dance camp that a teenager in our Stake put on. They each went for an hour of lessons every day. They were in separate groups this time, and I think they enjoyed that, too. They put on a little performance on Friday. Finn is a good little trooper, being dragged along to all the stuff his sisters do! I took some videos of their dances because Marc had to go to work. And Nora's. She is also second from left.

The adventures of Chompy, Snora, and Finn Ma'gin: April 2014
http://marcusandtara.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 21, 2014. Easter and a video. These girls were pretty excited to see if the Easter Bunny had come to visit them. Finn got a pony in his basket because there were five ponies the Easter Bunny wanted to buy for our house, so the girls each got two and Finn got the extra). I love how perfect his posture is! I love this handsome little dude. Resurrection rolls for breakfast on Sunday. They were pretty yummy, and seemed to really help Teresa visualize the concept of the actual Resurrection.

Monday, June 1, 2015. We celebrated T's birthday at the end of May. She is just the best. Let's take a stroll down Teresa memory lane, shall we? Brand new baby girl. Look at those two year old curls! Probably one of my all time favourite pictures of the T. Five years old. I feel like that just happened! I can't believe it is a whole year later already. Marc was good at documenting their trip despite his phone battery wanting to die the whole time. She was super impressed by these statue people. The next ...

Our Journey to Forever - Private: December Pictures 2014
http://shadelfamily.blogspot.com/2015/01/december-pictures-2014.html
Where Our Journey Began. Thursday, January 01, 2015. Rock Paper Scissors to determine who get to open the tree. We had to buy a new tree this year since the lights on our old one weren't working. After several years of intending to, I finally got bells to go on our tree. This is such a beautiful smile! Ammon got a customized shirt for Battle of the Books. We had an awesome fondu part to celebrate me getting home from my trip. While I was gone, the boys (and Andrew) learned some things about archery.

The adventures of Chompy, Snora, and Finn Ma'gin: Easter, etc.
http://marcusandtara.blogspot.com/2015/05/easter-etc.html
Wednesday, May 6, 2015. I mostly just have pictures to dump here! Easter was lots of fun, we spent the week leading up to it learning all about Holy Week. The girls loved it, they looked forward to it each day. This is the basic "program" we followed: http:/ www.mercyrivermusic.com/2015/03/how-to-celebrate-easter-holy-week/. And of course they were super excited for the bunny to come! Little boys in ties! These are recent pictures from my phone. Finn insisted on wearing this hat to story time one day.

The adventures of Chompy, Snora, and Finn Ma'gin: The one where we meet Elmo
http://marcusandtara.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-one-where-we-meet-elmo.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2015. The one where we meet Elmo. The downside of Marc's new job is that he has to travel a lot more than he has before. The upside is that all that traveling means earning lots of hotel points so we can do fun stuff as a family! We took the kids up to Sesame Place in Pennsylvania a few weekends ago. We had gone several years ago when T was two and Nora was about six months old, and we figured they would probably find it a bit more exciting this time around. How Nora felt about it:.

Saturday, May 24, 2014. Our Finners looooves, loves, loves to play peek-a-boo recently. It's pretty cute. He's just started it in the last week or so. Here he is in his main peek-a-boo spot. He also loves to do it at meal times. His highchair is right next to the window, so he will reach over and pull the curtains in front of him and then pops out with the biggest smile. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. The one about everything. In other news, our cute little Finners turned eight months old. He finally buste...

Monday, July 14, 2014. Tuesday, July 8, 2014. T and Finn visit the doctor. And, my manly man husband builds a deck. Anyway, here are some pictures from recently. We had this lovely and safe pile of old deck boards (full of rusty nails) in our yard for a while. Since he was rebuilding it anyway, we decided to put a slide and some stairs in, too. It turned out so well! Teresa loves to take pictures and videos with my phone. I found this cute one of Finn that she took. I love this boy so much! The Several A...

The adventures of Chompy, Snora, and Finn Ma'gin: August 2014
http://marcusandtara.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 24, 2014. Finally we were able to get T's birthday interview off our memory card. Poor thing is all worn out from almost six years of vigorous use! The memory card, not Teresa, even though she tells pretty much any one that asks her age that she is "almost six! I keep telling her that, no, actually, she's just barely five but she says things like "well.I'm just going to tell people I'm almost six". Aaaaaand finally, here's the official interview. Favorite color - red. Fav snack - fig bars.
