Leprachauns and Green Cuisine

The leprachauns visited the Caubles on St. Patricks Day, the milk was green and there was Lucky Charms and Candy on the table in the morning. That nights dinner was Green Cuisines. Vernet invited the neighbors and the missionaries. The dinner was Pesto and Green noodles, green salad, green cookies, green grapes, and lettuce salad with green dressing.

Spring Break at Caubles

I took the kids to Colorado for spring break to visit with the Caubles. We enjoyed spending time with them. Eric took M'Kay, Nicholas, Austin, Caiden and Colton skiiing. It was my boys first tiem skiing. They had a really good time, inspite of the altitude sickness. That is another story in itself :) Vernet and I went to the temple which was a highlight for me!

Gavin Fishing with Uncle Jimmy

Makenna would rather just play with sticks. She had nothing to do with the fishing :)

Gavin had a great time fishing with Uncle Jimmy and Justin.

Tucker's first birthday!!

Well, it is crazy to realize that Tucker is a year old already! Life flies by so fast! He is just as sweet and wonderful as ever. He can walk, sing (in his own language), dance, and say cheese and dada. He amazes us every day! He is so funny too. He makes us laugh all the time! His birthday was this past Sunday, April 27th. Saturday we had a birthday bash for him with family and friends! We loved being with the cousins and Grandma Wilkins. It really was fun to spend time with everyone that could come, and wish all of you could have been there! It was freezing though! Tucker diggin into his cake was definately the highlight of the event! Hope all is well with everyone!

Soccer Kids

Savanna & Porter are both playing soccer this season. They enjoy it very much. We have fun watching them play as well. Here are a couple pictures of them playing.

300th Post

I'm just posting because I wanted to be the 300th post, I bet you are all really jealous. I love visiting the Wilkins blog and seeing what is going on with everyone. Thank you to all of you who post. I guess maybe I should post more - I just figure that I post to Mabel's blog all the time, so that is enough, but some of you probably don't visit her blog, so I'll try to post here more often.

We are great here in California. The weather is so nice. Fred is liking his new job. I am still working for my dad and running my little business. For any of you who didn't know I even had a little business, it is similar to what Caroll and Cindy both do. For any of you who still have no idea what I am talking about, you can go to my website: http://www.nataleeallendesigns.com/ and then you will understand. And if any of you Missourians find something you like on the website, I can send the design files to Caroll or Cindy and they can make the designs for you, then we won't have to ship them. Anyway, you should check out Caroll's website too, if you haven't already, it's http://www.wordswithoutend.com/ - very good stuff there as well.

Anyway, I hope all of you are doing well. We think about you all often and love you very much. Take care, NataLee

Here are a couple of recent pictures of Mabel. She has no fear, and seems to try just about anything now, like going down the slide face first. She is so much fun.

We changed the Wedding Date

Hey everyone just thought I would let you know that we had to change the date of our wedding. The St. Louis Temple is being cleaned during the time that we were planning on getting married. Taylor wanted to change the date up to June but I told him that was a little too soon. So it is now the 6th of August, the reception is going to be the Saturday following, the 9th. He is the greatest guy ever I love him so much! (He made me say that!) But I really do love him!

Emmie's 5th Issac's 2nd B-day!

Number 4 is on the way!

Just thought I would spread the news that Brent & I are expecting number 4. We are very excited. We were planning on waiting to spread the news, but this week I stepped on a rusty nail. So I had to go and get a tetanus shot. The doctor wouldn't give it to me without consent of my OBGYN. So on my return home to pick up my children from Amy's shower. Everyone asked how my shot went. Then without thinking I said, he wouldn't give it to me without consent from my OBGYN. Then Cindy said, so your pregnant! Yep, that was the announcement for number four, by accident. We are about 8 weeks along and are due in November. Hope everyone is well. Love you all!

What's his name?

Hooray! We heard Robert and Melissa had a baby boy... but what is his name? We love you guys! Can't wait to see him!

50th Birthday Celebration!!!!

As many of you know, our wonderful mother is turning 50 tommorow. She has always done so much for all of us to make us feel special, and always goes out of her way to do extra things for us. This year for her big 50 we are having a surprise party (the reason I can type this here is beacause I know she doesnt know how to get on this blog).
We want all of her siblings to write 2 nice things about her (things admired, funny nice stories, or other good attributes) you can type them here on the blog, and we will combine them to give to her at her surprise party. Late notice ,I know for those of you who live around here, but the party is this Saturday the 12th at 7:00 pm at the Nothum home. We would love all of the adults to come and celebrate with us. Please keep this a secret and dont forget to wish mom a happy Birthday tommorow.
