Miss Paityn

I wanted to take some Pictures of Paityn so we went outside and these are some of the cute ones we got. She fell asleep in the morning for a little bit and then she fell asleep in the afternoon on the kitchen floor and she slept there even after the kids got home from school and the neighbor kids came over and I asked them to all be quiet and so she slept for probably an hour after all the kids were home and the friends had played!!

Carson and his Jug of Milk

One day Carson asked me if he could drink out of the jug of milk and I said "no". He then asked if he bought his own jug of milk could he drink out of it and I said "yes". He then wanted to know how much it would cost and I told him $3 he thought for a second and decided that was too much he wouldn't be doing that either. He thought for a minute and then asked if one day when the jug was almost empty if he could drink out of it and I said "yes he could". This day he found the jug almost empty and was in seventh heaven when I let him finish it off!!! This is a boy for you, the girls just thought it was gross!

My mom and dad surprised me the day before my birthday and came for a visit. My mom brought one of my favorite treats that I ate for a week straight. She brought scotcheroos!!! Yum Yum! We had a nice time visiting and hanging out and we took some pictures the day they left and went home.

Flowers & Friends

My wonderful friend Heidi came for a visit and bought be some beautiful flowers to go in my little gardens next to my front door. They made me smile every time I looked at them and they really brightened my summer. Look how much they grew too I really loved them!!

Sierra started middle school this year and gets to ride the bus to school. She was up and ready to go before 7 o'clock she was so excited and wasn't going to be late for the bus. The other kids were up and partially ready by that time to so by the time it was time for them to go we decided to walk them to school because we were early enough!! I think this is the only day so far we have walked to school and the year is already 3/4 over. Carson is in 3rd grade and Briana is in 1st grade.

We really wanted to get Amelie's picture with the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign but we never found it and really wanted to go to the M&M world so that is where we spent our evening. It was fun to go in and see all the m&m's and we even got to watch a little 3D movie it was a lot of fun.

Not sure where Carson was during all this but I guess he wasn't cute enough for Sierra to take a picture of him. When we took Amelie back to Las Vegas to fly home in May we stopped to do some quick sealings at the Las Vegas Temple. We just let the kids walk around outside while we went in. They do look a little warm in some of these pictures. When we were done a lady let us bring the kids into the lobby of the temple and take them into the atrium just outside of the lobby it was really pretty and neat that they let the kids go in and take a look they also had lots of pretty pictures of Christ in the lobby.
