Button Pushers

As the kids grow we notice how they increasingly take after us. One aspect that is particularly apparent is that Weston and Britta are button pushers, like their father. Literal button pushers. Weston loves to press any and all buttons on my computer keyboard whenever he can get his hands on them. Britta is always "borrowing" my cell phone and our digital camera. Recently I downloaded pictures from our camera (after changing the dead batteries, of course) to find an interesting documentary of the kids' lives. While there are endless blurry headshots of each of the kids, the following pictures were the most interesting to me.


Below is evidence that one of the kids was sneaking drinks to Weston after bedtime. This is strictly forbidden as he is still working on making it through the night without accidents.




This next picture makes me wonder what it was that was in the cup....



Next, Britta documented the progress of her adult teeth replacing her baby teeth.



And finally, Britta captures Weston during a major railroad construction project. While clothing is optional, hard hats are required on the job site.

Easter at the Taylor's House

This year we made an extra effort early in the month to set the focus of Easter on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We held family home evenings on the Atonment, and posted pictures of Christ on the walls. We really thought we were getting through to the kids until we asked Avery to say one of the closing prayers. She thanked God for the Saviour and the Atonement ... and then promptly moved on to the easter bunny and the candy.

We got the kids together for a couple of pictures too:

Each of the girls wearing dresses in colors that suit them (ask Stephanie). Each was excited to receive a new dress for the occasion.

Weston didnt' stay in one spot for too long, so this is the one picture we got of all four kids. Weston wanted to see the pictures captured by the camera.
