Birthday Time

Happy Birthday to Emma and Maddy (a little late)!
When they joined our family 11 and 9 years ago, we wondered how we would survive with so many little kids. Now we know we wouldn't have it any other way. We are so grateful for the joy they bring to our home each and every day!
Poor Maddy was so sick on her birthday, but she tried to smile and enjoy it.
Emma really wanted a pet of her own, but since she's allergic to everything, this digital puppy will have to do. Her cousin, Geta, doesn't look too impressed, eh?Britton thoroughly enjoyed Maddy's "Bucket-of-Mud" birthday cake!

Activity Ideas

I need help! I have been called as Ward Activities Chairman, and the Bishop has asked for monthly ward activities. So, I am looking for lots of ideas. Please leave me a comment with some of your favorite activities. They can be for the whole family, just adults, or even service projects.

Bathtime Anyone?

Emma wasn't feeling well last night, so she took a bath. Britton couldn't understand why someone else was in his tub, so he climbed in and joined her.

He's Growing Up

Guess who's in a toddler bed? I can't believe he's big enough for his new bed. Luckily, he doesn't seem to realize yet that he can climb out of it. Once we put him in he stays in until we go get him out.
(A big thanks to Kristol who found this for us at a yard sale for $30.)

Junior High...Here She Comes

Yesterday was the final day of elementary school for Kenzie. They held a very nice 6th Grade Advancement Program where she won a ton of awards and was chosen as one of the speakers by her classmates. She is so excited to be headed to Junior High. I'm excited for her, too, but I did cry a little that my Kenz is growing up. We are so proud of the young woman she is becoming.This is her wonderful teacher, Mrs. Jackman and our great principal, Miss Winger. We are blessed to have great schools for our girls.
