J. gets his Webelos Patch!

J. recieved his Webelos Patch at the last pack meeting!  Yahoo J.!

You may be wondering why no one is in our Scout uniform-- we were dressed for our "Waves of Fun" water play activities!

Here are a couple pics of the fun!

Congrats J.!  We are proud of you!

First Day of School!

Yes! Yes I know school started 3 weeks ago but better late than never eh?

B. started kindergarten this year and he has been soooo excited!

Here he is at "Meet the Teacher Night" with his best friend who has the same teacher!

Ready to leave on the 1st day!

Hangin' out at the bus stop!

Getting off the bus!

Being Cool at School!

First time I leave my B. in the classroom!

I'm so glad I am leaving him in such good hands!

Kids,

I hear Fabulous reports about each of you in school! 

 I am so proud to be your Mom!

Vacation time!

At the end of June we were able to visit beautiful Colorado! 

 We loved the beautiful green,

 majestic mountain

 and extended family on both sides!

(Unfortunately I took VERY few pics)

Picnic in the "mountains" with Peter's family.

(Pete those quotes are for your benefit)

Visiting the Denver Temple

A day spent at Royal Gorge with Grammie!

(part of a family reunion that was FABULOUS!)

Staying with cousins is the best part!

(except that I didn't take any pics so here is one from an earlier visit)

So yummy!

I often show my love for my children by "eating" them.  This consists of tickling them while making loud eating noises and burying my face in their neck, tummy, ...

I was doing this with W. and our conversation when somthing like this:

"Oh you are just so yummy.  I want to eat you up UmmmNummNummmm"  "Aaahhh! "  Then W. stopped wiggling, looked straight at me and said in a serious manner

 "I am not So Yummy!  I am W." (Of course he said his full name)

So that is becoming his new nick name.  We will have to see how long it lasts!

My Girl get Baptized!

On June 12th at 4pm J. was baptized a member of

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

J. I am so happy you have decided to follow Christ and become a part of His church and kingdom!

I love you!

Nacho Cherry Face

Ever wondered what you get when you eat Nacho Cheese Doritoes followed by Cherries?

Two Eggs

We have guests at our home!  Aparently our flood light is a great place to have babies.  Bird babies that is.

 

My clever children figured out a way to see inside the nest (they had to know if there were eggs in it) even though it is so high up.  How?  Tape a mirror to a broom and hold it above the nest. 

Two precious eggs!
