This is AP, signing off for now

Okay, this is the last time you'll have to hear from me for a while... was that sigh of relief from me or you? ;-)

Becca works so hard, and this past week has been so crazy busy, that I told her I'd post some pictures to catch up the blog. Done and done. Now you can go back to the cutesy clever posts you're accustomed to :-)

Hopefully you'll enjoy the pictures and remember that we're grateful for our friendship with all of you.

Over and out.

Annie's 3rd Birthday

Time sure flies way too fast for me when I spend time with this little girl -- I can't believe she's 3!

The day she was born...

Climate Change -- Please change!

[Disclaimer: Post by Andrew]

So, Al Gore swung by Utah to plead his case for climate change recently... I just wish he would have left some of his global warming with us!

I woke up today to over a FOOT of snow. I'm done shoveling the driveway for the year. It's April 16th for crying out loud! I opened the garage and hit the gas to plow right over the snow. Fortunately the roads weren't too bad and by the end of the day all the roads, drives, and sidewalks were completely clear (Good thing, or somebody would have gotten hurt. I don't know who, but somebody...)

So here are a few pics from the crazy day!

Easter Sunday

[Disclaimer: Post by Andrew]

We had a great Easter Sunday. All our siblings in the area (each of us have two in Utah) came over right after church for a nice dinner and Easter festivities. It's so nice for us all to be able to spend holidays together. Here are a few pictures...

Kids ready for church...

Family... isn't it about... TIME? :-) Nothing like a walk on a beautiful day after a family dinner. We all look pretty darn happy here!

Robby's 6th Birthday

[Disclaimer: Post by Andrew]

Robby is the first to have his birthday during the busy Pincock family "birthday season" (four birthdays in six weeks). He's a great kid and had a great birthday, full of fun, family, friends, presents, and of course his favorite... treats.

Before I share a few pics of the current birthday, here are some from a few years back (basically since we've had the digital camera... you know, when we emerged from the stone ages)

Robby turns 3...



Robby turns 4...



Robby turns 5...



And now for the main event... Robby turns 6!

Waking up to balloons is a tradition that Robby loves:



Breakfast of birthday boys... coffee cake -- yum!

Hairstyles of the not so rich or famous

What do you do when your kids really need a haircut?

(April 2008)

Well, you could take them to a professional hair stylist...

Or, you could save some money and do it yourself at home!

(March 2007)


When you do it yourself, you can end up with the hairstyle you want...

(March 2009)

(March 2009)

Yes, we actually did take our children out in public like this. But what good is it being a boy if you can't have a mohawk every now & then? And what better place to go looking like this than the zoo? Plus, we found it pretty hilarious when we met up with our cousins there and saw that they were sporting a unique hairstyle of their own. (Cousin Anna had a date with Grandpa that night-curlers were mandatory!) You can imagine the looks we got.

Don't worry, by church time the next day, everyone looked more like this...plus a couple of shirts!
