The Sting Ray's literally jump half way out of the water trying to bite a fish out of your hand. I couldn't get a good picture of it out of the water that far. The kids went crazy over that.
Ehlana at 6 months.
Ray was trying to take a nap on the couch and the kids attacked him. So, I let Ehlana join the party.
This is Kael's birthday cake (October). 
I just can't resist taking pictures of Ehlana. She is in such a cute phase. It's easy to take smiley, happy pictures at this time. She is 7 months here.
Ehlana is eating her first food that doesn't come out of a baby food bottle. Grahm crackers.
Adara had some friends over and they were playing dress up. This time they decided to dress the baby up too. It was pretty funny. Before this Kael had the purple dress on.......we had a talk about Prince's and pants that day.
Halloween is always a favorite because the kids get to dress up. The kids have spent the entire month in the costume box dressing up. Now, I actually let them out of the house. 
Ehlana was a litte spider......just like all of the other kids were at this age. I just love that costume. It is soooooo cute. Ray and I were tired and lame this year. No real costume for us.
On Adara's birthday all she wanted was Pink, Pink, Princess everything, Pink, Pink, Pink. So, I went out and found these little Peek-a-Boo Barbie Mini's for the cake and made sure there was plenty of pink on it. She loved it. All of her presents were Pink, Barbie and Princess based. Go figure. She's a princess in training.
In November I had to have surgery to fix a rather large hernia. So, Grandma Jolley flew over to help me afterwards and the kids had so much fun. Ehlana knew where to go to be pampered since I couldn't do it.
This is just the cutest picture.
After a while Ehlana (8 mo)wouldn't ever blink at me she just crawed straight to Grandma. Actually, it was Grandma who was on the floor teaching her how to crawl. By the end of two weeks Ehlana was a pro.
Here is Grandma and the boys...... and, of course, Ehlana.
We made smores the other day (December 7) and I had the kids sit on the floor. This would prevent chocolate fingers from travelling to the walls and floor in other rooms........I blocked the entrance to the kitchen. Ehlana (9 mo) natually follows the kids so she crawed over me and straigt to the goods. She's wearing black so you can't see the real mess. She loved every bit of it. Girls and Chocolate Rule!!
Ehlana (9 mo) changed outfits 4 times this day because she was now strong enough to knock over the mop bucket. After changing her the first time she managed to crawl back in the water when I wasn't looking. I changed her again, then Kael brought a soaked towel over to show me there was a problem............and when I told him I knew about it he dropped the towel on Ehlana. It immediately soaked her again.......it was that wet. I finished mopping the floors with the wet towels since there was plenty of water on them to spare. While doing that, Ehlana found the hidden bucket and dumped over the small bit that was left in the bottom. Her socks and pants were plenty wet and we headed back to the closet to see what outfits were left. Having is such a joy....... and a circus. I don't want to talk about how church went this last sunday since Ray was out of town for training. I think I own a zoo...... and they attract others of the same species.
