School Tears

Found out yesterday that Chase spends the first 1/2 hour to hour at school crying that he wants to go home. Poor little guy! Today we sent him off to school with a teddy bear in his back pack and a picture of Mom & Dad in his pocket. Hopefully that does the trick!

Avery's bday present from great grandma!

Comic Relief

If my life could be summed up by a comic, this one would TOTALLY be the one.

Can anyone guess which one is Chase?

Piano Practice

I can't believe I just used this phrase while Hailey was playing the piano..."Hailey, practice what you are supposed to practice and NOT the He-Man theme song!"

Christien, Brandon and Rion chillin' in the shade on a hot day!

Growing garden and our poor peach laden tree. Time to prune it after harvest!

Pioneer Day Celebration

We had a wonderful time at the Pioneer Day Celebration at the Stake Center this year. Unfortunately, I didn't get too many pictures. I did get this one of the Youth Choir...

...one of Miss Avery snoozing away....

...and a few of Rion square dancing. That was the best!

...complete with video!



So grateful to all of the Pioneers for what they sacrificed. We are all blessed because of what they went through.

First Tooth!

Avery cut her first tooth today! Woo hoo!

Progress

Avery pulled herself standing today!...even with her splinted leg. Nothing can stop her!

Someone is getting into my ribbon!

Miss Avery in good spirits, even with a broken leg.

Sisters forever

Happy 9 months to Avery!

Avery's new toy. Cost me a whopping $.25.

Quote of the Day

Chase: "Jesus is invisible in the dark, huh mama, and in the day he's white...but only on our planet."

Someone sure loves his little sister!

Piano Recital

Hailey had her first piano recital tonight. She was nervous, but did SO well. I love this first video because she realized that she was in the wrong position, changed where her hands were, then started over. Calm, cool, collected. Great job Hailey!

Salon Time!

This is what happens when Chase goes with me to get my hair done.
