Pictures! We've Got Pictures! We've Got Lots and Lots of Pictures!

Yes, my dear friends and family, it is now time for those long awaited pictures. If you don't feel like looking at a mess of picspam, then this is not the post for you. Move along. :)

I suppose I'll just get right into it and treat it as a slideshow? Does that work for everyone? Okie-dokie.

Here we are in Pleasent Grove/American Fork (I can't remember which) enjoying some time at the park. This is the first time that Josh had ever been in a swing at the park and he just loved it!

I took the kiddles to a day out with Thomas the Tank engine. Needless to say there was excitement all around and we had a really good time. This is after the train ride, after face paining, and during some horrific wind.
The three older kids (Jacob, Kaylee, and Matt) with Sir Topham Hat. I didn't even try getting Josh into the shot, figuring he'd just be too dang scared. Probably a good call on my part.
This is on the way to Ephraim after the Thomas fun. My sister Megan took this pic while I was driving. Good times.
This was at Thomas, I think. I can't remember. I just know that Matt was showing off his tattoo and Josh was hamming it up for the camera.
Matt and one of his many cute and expressive faces at my Aunt Melanie's house.
Josh eating some cereal at Aunt Melanie's. Everyone had a great time here. It was good fun.
Joshua the Ham smiling before getting his very first haircut, just a week before Jarum's return from Iraq.
My gosh! Look at that! I could put it up in ponies!
Getting ready. He has no idea. LOL
This is me just keeping him still while my mom did the back of his head. Actually, he handled it really well. We've done another cut since and he just loves them. Doesn't even fuss.
The handsome, all clipped boy. He loves the camera. Can you tell?
Kaylee's "before" pic. Here hair went all of the way down to her bum. She literally had to pull it over her shoulder while, ahem, going potty.
And now at her shoulder blades. It looks so great at this length. Much easier to deal with and just dang cute!
Preggo Rachel playing Guitar Hero III. This pic makes me giggle every time I see it. :p
Rachel with her hot new do. She didn't have a camera when she got it cut so I took one with mine. Here you go, Rach.
Josh at the BYU Museum of Art. They were having a family fun day. So I took the family. The end.
After the MOA family fun day. Look at that background. OH MY GOSH I miss Utah!
Josh overlooking the falls at the gardens at Thanksgiving Point. If I could live there, I would. And I miss the cafe. Mmmmmmmmm sweet potato fries. Mmmmmmmmmm.
Josh and Matt at a different falls overlook. It is the largest manmade waterfall in the country? Is that right? Someone check my facts.
Grammy and Josh in the gardens. Awwwww!
At the airport waiting for Jarum to get off of the plane. We were slightly excited. It was also fun watching everyone else watch the kids. Lots of smiles and a few tears of joy on the kids' behalf. Very sweet.
DADDY! (see the couple to the left? Lots of that.)
I think Matt was happy. Actually, Matt wouldn't let Jarum out of his sight for a few days. I even had to remind Matt two days ago that he no longer had to pray for Daddy's safety in Iraq. :)
At the airport. Josh was very happy to see Daddy as well. No "who the heck are you?" moments. He pretty much just dove into Jarum's arms.
Back at my mom's house. The kids stuck to him like glue. It was very sweet. And also refreshing. It was one of the few days where they weren't attached to my hip.
Josh and Clara. Holy cow, were these two partners in crime!
Picnicking up in American Fork Canyon. It was so gorgeous. I just couldn't get over it.
A close-up of the little boys. Josh's expression just kills me.
Jacob's eighth bday. He got Mario Kart for the wii. Happiness was had by all.
Awwww, loves!
Rachel gave me the idea of making this gator cake. Thanks, Rach. It was a huge hit.
Opening presents at his water party. Good times.
Random pic of clean children.
This is the view out of my front door in our new house in Georgia. We love this house. But I'm going to paint the inside. It's grey. I feel as though I'm living in an elephant. Other than that, though...
Close-up of the trees. There are little white flowers in them. It's a very pretty thing. (And I will have more pics of the house, once things are unpacked and pictures are put up, etc.)
Living room. We have so much more space that the kids often don't know what to do with themselves.
Splash park on post. We go every Tuesday. This is the first year that Matt has actually gotten in the water. Now we can't get him out!
Josh has taken Matt's place as the there's-no-way-you're-getting-me-in-that kid.

Well, there you go. See, Kimmy? Baby is not married yet. He's still a baby. Tara, there you go. Rachel, I do actually blog when I'm not living at Mom's. Mom, enjoy the pics of your sweet grandbabies.
