Say hello to our 5 little monkeys!






For some of our friends, and even more unfortunately,  for some of our family it has been too long since we have been in touch.  That said, I'm sure we have a lot of catching up to do including the introduction or the re-introduction of our short stuffs. 

Benjamin as the oldest is now four years old and reserves the right and sole responsibility of picking on his sisters, and will ward off anyone else who tries.  He sure takes good care of them.  

Then the twins, Aubrey and Claire are going to be three in April.  As two, they hold their own together and yet have very separate attitudes, likes and dislikes.  

Almost a year ago Julia joined forces with the girls and left Benjamin and I to stick together as the only manly men in the house.  

We are now expecting one more.  Yes we checked twice to make sure it was only one more.  This time the nurse thinks it is a boy...preliminary ultra sounds only, but I could sure use another vote around here.  

So do the math real quick... in September we will have five children four and under for a couple of months at least.  We are very blessed and grateful.  Amie is an unbelievable women with patience, love and happiness abounding.   We have been married almost nine years and just like most of you have stories that will make your sides hurt from laughing.  And I can say most of those have happened in the past four years.  We look forward to sharing with you some of the ones that are to come.  

Please leave comments, we would love to hear from you.

Welcome to the world of blogging, bloggers, blogs! It is SO fun to see pics of the kiddos. I will be a regular on fivelittlemonkeys! I'm much better at reading blogs than posting on my own.

Hi cousin Amie! Mom (Aunt Janet) sent me the link to your blog. Your kids are darling. How exciting to add another baby to the mix! Beth came and visited last summer and that was awesome. She scrapped YOUR kids while I scrapped mine. Then we saw your Mom & Hannah in Utah at Kurt's wedding. I haven't seen you since Allison's wedding, I think. This blog is a great way to keep in touch. I'll check in again!

So, I would like to take credit for your newfound blog creation since I bugged you about it at Ruckus Room, but I am willing to bet some other blog-obsessed friends were also making proposals. Oh well. I'll pretend I helped you decide. :o)

I am so happy you did it! I love seeing all your great pictures and it will be so fun to keep up with your busy family after your move to CO (which I, along with many others, wish would not happen at all ).
