Pictures

Check out the latest pictures I had taken of our kids. They are on the right under the temple.

So is it a bad thing to have picked who you are going to marry at the age of 3? We went and spent some time with my friend Kimberli and her family and while we were there, Brighton (my 3 year old) and Bella (her 3 year old) said they were going to get married in the temple when they are older. Guess we'll see what happens. It didn't help to have older siblings eggin it on.

Monday's...

As most of you know my dad passed away on a Monday morning. What is it about this day? My mom's father passed away this morning. Another Monday.

We (the kids and I) went to Brigham City this weekend and stopped over to see my mom's parents. I don't get to see them very often and the mere fact that I made the decision to go down THIS particular weekend... my grandpa has been very sick for a long time but has continued to hang in there. I'm not sure he even knew I was there, but I went and just sat in his room for about an hour. Tender Mercies!

This picture is my grandpas legacy. We are only missing 2 babies and a husband who weren't in exhistance when this picture was taken. This is a very special picture. My grandma had said for several years that if my grandpa lived to be 80 we would have a big party and family picture. Our family is spread all over, but this is all of us!! I absolutely love this picture. We are all infront of my grandparents house with my favorite tree in the picture. My grandpa turned 81 this last Sunday.

Mock me if you must!

For those of you who have heard me say that I am not a big fan of reading... I found a book. Sadly, it's a kids book, but were taking baby steps. It's probably an very easy read for you Twilighter's out there, but this is one that my kids and I are reading together before nap time. It's called The Mysterious Benedict Society. It's very intriguing and mysterious!!

Birthday and Father's day in the same month.

Today is Jim's 36th birthday. I found a couple of pictures from his MUCH younger years. He's had some pretty great accomplishments thru the years, but his greatest accomplishment are his four amazing kids, who love him to the moon and back "and then some". Thanks Jim for being a great dad and husband and my best friend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!

"The Bird"

I remembered the funniest thing that happened a couple of Sundays ago. I went to pick Brighton up from his primary class and his teacher was really excited to have him show me what he learned in class. Brighton wasn't sure what he was talking about and I could see his teacher behind him putting up the "I love you" sign with his hand. Well, Brighton stuck up his middle finger and flipped me off instead. I said "oh, so that's what your teaching him in primary... nice!" They were embarrased and we laughed really hard. It was so funny. He just couldn't get his fingers in the right place at the right time.
