Pyper finds something very cozy about my French book. When I open it, she comes running and stretches out. She rolls over onto the computer and basks in the fluorescent lights of the Mac!!!! Ah, to be a feline at the Hill house. Not a bad gig.
Mes sœurs sont magnifiqué. Je les aime beaucoup. Nous sommes toujours là l'un pour l'autre. Pour avoir des sœurs est d'avoir l'amour. La artist est Cassandra Barney qui est la fille de James Christensen.
Because every good family picture needs a darling neighbor child and two sons who think it would be funny to pull out all their medallions and state rings right as the picture was being taken! Really, there just are no words...
And this was the best we could do. No one was in a particularly keen picture-taking mood! But hey, it's my family and I love 'em (medals, rings and all!)
Hmmm...there just aren't words for this. Everyone needs to post a hideous picture of themselves. It is good for the soul!
With everything I could say, and all the witty comments I could make (oh, my twisted sistah and I have quite a history filled with laughter and divine blackmail)...all I can say is "pure joy." My heart is happy as I see my evil twin with such a wonderful man. XOX FTC
This is quite a fellowship. Through thick and thin - girls and no girls - sports wins and sports losses - this circle of friends is secure. Now that they are slowly leaving on missions, the fellowship goes international - some friends in the U.S. and some on the other side of the world. But no matter where they are living, the fellowship stands...and that, after all, is the mark of true friendship.
Alex, Eric and Brandon. Roommates, friends, cousins, tennis partners, fellow students, home teaching companions, wing men, hungry men who love a freebie lunch when Lance and Ruth are in town!
Happy Birthday my new little teenager! Kait is officially no longer a "tween." Birthday festivities involved a homemade cake (made by Chefs Kait and Ruth), swimming with Niki, Scott and family, and party with best friends.
Murphy's favorite spot!
Needing a haircut but always smiling
That just can't be comfortable!
Our little old man
Murphy was...
Graduation Day for Tony! Well done hulk. 
Tony's three year
Tony Hill of Davis High wins the 5A boys shot put at the 1A-5A state "He was so pumped when he came over to tell us. It sparked us," said shot put and discus thrower Tony Hill. "There are a lot of ups and downs and it's nice to have that momentum."
The momentum carried over on Saturday as the Darts captured their third consecutive team title with a score of 127.67. The next closest team was Bingham, who had 77.8 points. Riverton came in third after trailing Davis most of the meet. Hill saw inspiration in Lang's performance and drew from it as he took first place in discus with a personal record throw of 157-03.00. He also came in first in the shot put.
Ah, the sweet smile of a braces-less mouth. Kait's perfect little smile is now metal free. We are happy...and so is her orthodontist (now that we have paid for his new car, his child's college education and perhaps even a down payment on a new boat!!!!!!)
Tony finished #1 in the state and MVP at the indoor state finals. He finished #3 at Simplot Nationals. This boy eats his Wheaties!
Alex has yet to fully understand that "IT" has a name. "IT's" name is Lola. Alex "not-really-a-baby-kind-of-guy" Hill gets uneasy holding "IT." He will say, "What if "IT" cries? Why does "IT" have such a big bow? How am I suppose to hold "IT"? But, "IT" has settled quite comfortably into the arms of her cousin. 
Alex and "IT's" mother!
We may see them as harmless little critters who charm you with their bushy tails and saucer-like eyes, but give them artillery...and they are little furry sons of perdition!
Waiting...waiting...finally "the Frenchie" is home. Alex came back from France to his adoring crowd of onlookers: Kait, Tate, Max, Ruth, Tony, Grandpa Brad, Lance and Niki (pregnant and taking the picture).
Carlie and Tony - born a week apart. She is the only girl who Tony actually likes being around. There is nothing like a cousin (and Tony's friends are always glad when she is in town!!!!)
Who knew a pissy sissy could spawn such beautiful children! Rowan, Bryn and Jillian - blood is thicker than water :)
Max and Tony are pretty tight buddies. You mess with one - you get the vengeance of the other!
Kait's favorite place to be...on her bed, curled up under her furry orange blanket, and reading. Cleo's favorite place to be...on Kait's bed, curled up on Kait's furry orange blanket, watching Kait read.
Murphy is the oldest member of the "Hill Zoo." At 13, he walks slowly with arthritis, can't hear anymore...but always wags his tail. He follows Ruth everywhere she goes and curls up at her feet when she finally sits down. A little girl Westie named Katie came over recently. Well, this little white haired old man suddenly acted like he was in his prime. He flirted with her and even showed off just a bit. Yes, this little guy still has spring in his step.
