Time Marches On


Last night, Harry wanted to dress up. This is a daily occurance at our house, so I tried to be patient and ask him what he wanted to dress up as. His first thought was Captain Jack Sparrow, but then he had the better idea of dressing up as a missionary. I was all for it, and within a few minutes we had him pretty well outfitted, including name tag and bicycle helmet. Maggie even got into the act, and I thought how fun it would be to have these pictures someday. With their age difference, they really could be on missions at the same time!


So tonight, Joe and I had to get out for a while, so we called Moani. Moani is quickly becoming our almost full time babysitter. The kids love her, and she's the only one I can trust with all five of the kids at one time. We trust her so much that we called the Robers to see if they could bring their kids over (that's eight children total) and go out to dinner with us. As we were leaving, we heard the kids talking about how Harry and Ashlynn were going to get married. We hear that pretty often from those two lately, so we didn't pay much attention to it. When we got back, we found these pictures as evidence of how serious they really are! As you can see, it was a complete ceremony, with ring exchange and kiss! Only these two could pull this off. In fact, Maggie and Briggs also "got married" this evening, but Maggie apparently put her foot down, or more accurately, her hands up, when it was time for Briggs to kiss the bride. I'm sure Briggs was relieved...Harry and Ashlynn would have been a tough act to follow!
By the way, can anyone tell me how to delete a picture? This one doubled up and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.

That is so funny! Harry and Maggie really do look like Missionaries.

Moani is pretty darn awesome! If I have to tag-team babysit with anyone, my first choice is her!

It should be mentioned that the main reason for those two getting married was so that Ashlynn and Maggie could be related and their "kids" would be cousins.

What fun blogs. Someday, Harry and Ashlynn will look back on this and 'die' with shame! Wondering what ever possessed them. It's so darn cute though and very telling in how our children mimic us in EVERYTHING we do. Thanks for sharing the photos!

I need to get a hat like your Harry. That thing is sweet.
