introducing...

Only three months late! Jane Mary (after my Grandmother) weighed 4.7 pounds and Ruby Kaye (after my mom and best friend) weighed 4.10 pounds. They had to be taken early at 32 weeks and had an extended stay at the NICU for almost 6 weeks (with the best nurses in the country). We love having them home!

I'm alwlays catching up!

A few quick highlights..

This summer with cousins.
This is how Luke prays.
LOVE this picture.
Grandma's pioneer day.
NH fun.
First day of first grade.

First day of kindergarten.
Kate celebrates her birthday at school.


First day of preschool.

The girl has lost two more.. I don't know how she eats.

My girly Elle tucks everything in! This was her first season and she always gave it her best.

A rare, all 4 kids in picture, moment.

This girl is a beast. She steals the ball, takes it up the field and scores, over and over again.
So hopefully you feel a bit caught up.. Plus we found out our little ones are girls. My girls were so excited when we found out that they couldn't sleep that night. Elle has claimed baby A and Kate has claimed baby B. And luckily when Gray found out he told me that now he won't hit them. I guess it works out for everyone.

VOTE and PROMOTE!!

Do you want to see an amazing ski video?!!

my brother Price is in a ski video competition and needs more votes today!  (He's just fallen behind in his match up!)  His video is AMAZING!  He's an unbelievable skier and really deserves this opportunity!  (the prize is his dream - to be filmed in a professional ski video!)  


So click through to this link for me (and him :) ) and vote for "PFOULGER - Alta-holic on a Bender"
Here's the Link:

*when you go to the link, click on "PFOULGER" (in the upper left tournament bracket) and then you can vote for him!

It's set up like March Madness, so he really needs votes every day as he advances to the next round, but today we think is his toughest competition of the whole tournament so please help him make it through to tomorrow with your vote!  

Thanks in advance!!!!

P.S. Reasons to vote for Price:
1) his video is sick!
2) his skiing is insane!  (if you could do a double back flip, double lincoln roll, and triple on skis, then I'd vote for you too :) )
3) the guy he's up against today has 7 skiers in his video - don't get me wrong, he's very good, but he's showing 6 other people in his video along with him (Price only shows his own tricks) and that guy is already sponsored, so give my brother a chance to get in the video and get sponsored too!  he deserves it!
4) as much as a like you, I might even like you better if you vote for my brother.  okay - I'll definitely like you better. :)
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

This girl has had attention to detail since I can remember (I am pretty sure before she even spoke). I found her trying on different headbands on the skeleton. Because why wouldn't you accessorize your skeleton's?

Indian ladder farms

We have been looking forward to Kate's apple picking field trip. Today was the day! The car managed to die at the school (thanks for the ride Tinker), there were no apples to pick (except off the ground), and it was raining and freezing. Thank goodness for awesome kids who still had a good time!

And if you have heard of Liv (if you have ever had a conversation with Kate) now you can put a face to the name.

some things we LOVE..

Adding dish soap to the trampoline (thanks Mel).




Discovering the tooth fairy.


Climbing up everything and getting treats solo.


Packing lunch.


Riding the bus.


Wearing my really high shoes.


Eating mud.


Birthday parties.


Dance parties.


Sign for preschool (the day she realizes I threw it away will be a tough one).


Learning to pose like her older sister.


Waiting for the bus and holding their little brother (they "take turns" for hours).


Picking outfits out the night before. Elle tries to be every ones stylist (Kate is the only one who sometimes lets her).


Painting nails all by themselves. First picture is of Kate, second one is of Gray. When he came up stairs and showed me (I have never seen anyone so proud) I was terrified to see the damage from the process. I ran downstairs hoping to quickly get it off before it dried and I found that everything was spotless. He only got on his nails. Still don't know if I should be worried or proud.

Family makes me all emotional

Amy and Bryan Foulger have mad skills when it comes to picture taking. Amy just updated their blog and I can't stop looking at it. It is of all these little cousins this past summer. I couldn't love those little kids more. Oh how I miss them! I wish I could explain to you all the huge personalities in those tiny little bodies. Thanks for the pictures Amy, I LOVE them all!!
