Jacob turns 4!
August 29, 2009

Kiddos playing on the trampoline.

His second favorite....GI Joe sword and mask.

It's already been taken away many many times for misuse!

Batman cake for my little superhero!

I love this picture. This was by far his favorite present...he'd been talking about a Bumblebee costume for months! This is taken into the mirror.

Myrtle Beach 2009

Jacob...what to put?...I don't even know what he's doing here!

Amber, trying to catch minnows.

The boys had a bucket full of mole crabs (sand fleas) and minnows.

The kids favorite part was the lazy river!!!

I just love this picture of Amber: this is totally her...

carefree and happy, full of life, the wind in her hair!

Family Fun

These are a few random photos from the spring...

Leeds family band - playing Rock Band (in our PJs).

Mark's bedtime kisses still get them riled up!

Jacob's chugging his antiboitic...
don't worry - it was the last dose and I measured it out and put it back in the bottle before giving it to him!

Padme was queen for the day!

Of course, it was April Fool's Day...but she didn't know!

Jason's faux-hawk - he LOVED it!

EASTER 2009

Checking to see what's inside...

Not much gets past her!

Just out of reach....tippy toes!

The kids with their cousins at this year's Eggstravaganza.

Getting 5 kids to look at a camera at the same time is pretty tough!

Family picture taken at Eggstavaganza - it was COLD ...

I may have even seen a snow flurry!

And guess who got caught in the DOG food bag!

On the ranch with Grandma and Grandpa Leeds.
The story of note here is the dog...this is where you can find Padme during meals, near Jacob, and just waiting and hoping for some food to drop!

One cold night, it began sleeting...Mark in an attempt to stay warm and take the boys out to see the wintry precip, grabbed a pair of sweatpants for his head. The boys, once seeing their dad, quickly found their own head coverings!

Santa Claus visits the Little Gym.

Amber with her Aunt Kirsta and A.C.

Halloween Fun 2008

Jacob's favorite character is Batman.
Amber had her genie moves down.

Showing the classic "Leeds mug."

All kids ready for action (notice Jason's superman "pose")
