Video of the Day

Spirit Week at Lakeland

For Spirit week at lakeland it was 80's day. Austin decided to have a FRO, and wear his dad's old Basketball uniform. He wouldnt wear the shorts though, he thought they were too short LOL!

Anyways, I curled his hair in Makennas curlers. She was so mad at him. I always tell her that I am making princess hair so she will let me put curlers in her hair.....well, when I was curling Austins hair with her curlers she was very upset. She kept yelling at him...."You are not the princess, I am!" She even took her curlers and hid them from us. He almost stayed home, because he was not sure of going and looking like that. His hair was quite a hit.

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.
