June

This is the happy face of a beach baby. My family came for a visit at the beginning of the month, and Price was able to take a day off to join us at Virginia Beach. We had a blast! After getting too much water in the face, Aiden spent the day playing in the sand, and loved every minute. It never ceases to amaze me how much he loves new things. Price and my brother in law Theron are anxious to return to the water.










For Father's Day we drove up to the temple. It was pretty hot, so we just walked around for a bit. Price was excited to remember his mission days, and would start giggling every few minutes when he was reminded of something. We have yet to go in, but are hoping my sister will babysit for us soon.


Every day is an adventure with this little guy. I can hardly get a decent picture because he is constantly on the move! His new favorite thing is to spin around and around in circles while I sing "Ring Around the Rosies". He also figured out how to cover his eyes with his eyes. The other night he ran around the room that way laughing and screaming. It was hilarious! He loves the water (except the beach) and got pretty upset yesterday when he couldn't jump into the Potomac River in D.C. We sure love him and love you all, and that's all for now!

Service in our branch is FUN!!!

Hello! I am enclosing some fun photos from our branch. The missionaries are Elder Whitmer and Elder Palmer and they are two wonderful young men. I have to admit, Elder Palmer is my favorite. He plays so well with the kids and is a very admirable young man. He will be a great father and husband some day. Elder Whitmer is great as well, he just has a little more growing up to do. He is so sweet and very chivilrous. His mom did a great job instilling the correct way to treat a lady. Both young men helped out with our primary activity this week. This is my primary plus four of our branch presidents grandkids and minus two of our regulars. We are so blessed. Aren't they wonderful! We had a great time today and I look forward to continuing work with these sweet young people.

bored with my other post

know how exciting our last post was, but enough is enough. I am officially tired of the same old thing and so I am doing something about it. Here are some sweet photos from the last few weeks. Emery is sleeping in one with no diaper. Why you ask? Well ask her. She doesn't like sleeping with diapers and will take them off at her earliest convenience. Not only when she is sleeping, but also when she plays or crawls or eats or sits in her car seat. Thank heavens she can't undo the snaps on her onsie. The Liam photo is another dress up photo. Liam is Leonardo in this photo. Yes ninja turtles are our new favorite thing. And the last photo is one of Morgan's favorite moments. He loves dancing with Isa and watching her smile and how her hair flies. Enjoy these sweet moments from our family. We love you all and hope that life is treating you extremely well. Mom, I would like to see photos of you on the scooter with your pink helmet. I was thinking, maybe you could trade out some classes with someone who's husband paints cars. You could paint the scooter light pink with hot pink flames. I think that it would be super cool. Anyway, that's my two cents. Love ya~ Ok I added two more. One of the kids playing and the other of Liam sleeping behind the couch. We lost him one day and couldn't find him. When I did, he was fast asleep behind the couch. hee hee

Tim's visit.

Hmm can you guess who I was here to pick up. Our visit with Tim started off with a bang. we laughed and had a great time. I don't think we could have packed anything else in. I only wish we had spoiled Price and Sarah as much. If so we might have seen them again. This summer. (That was so fun to have you here last summer) Anyway, we had a great time. Here's the photos from the week. Enjoy....





Saturday, we spent the day at the Rennaissance Faire. I made some new fun outfits for Isa, Liam and myself. We met my friend Timber and her family there. It was her birthday. We had a really good day, saw some really fun things and also got to go out to eat at Rudy Tuesdays all dressed up. Good times for all. You can see more fun photos at feathersky.wordpress.com













Sunday, We had family dinner at Nate and Mandy's. Quinn brought over his slackline and we had some good times. Church was great. Tim helped out with Emery and was asked if he was my scottish nanny. It's possible right?








Monday, I took the kids and Morgan and Tim went out on the lake. We have a friend with a boat and they had a blast. I can't remember what we did that night, but I am sure it was fun.
Tuesday, we went to the park and hung out. Liam says that Uncle Tim pushes higher than anyone. The kids had a great time and Tim got to climb a magnolia tree and smell a magnolia. Later that afternoon. We headed to Mandy and Nate's house for tin foil dinners and our red neck water slide. What is that you ask? Picture 100 feet of black plastic, one large hill, and some dishsoap and you have a whole lot of fun and a little pain. hee hee. Please note my favorite photo which is the one of Em with the hat looking up. Oh man it is so cute!!





















Wednesday, we went to the zoo and to gymnasticss. It was fun for the kids to show off for Tim. The zoo was fun too. We had some really tired and cranky munchkins, but you know how that goes. A nap and we're golden.
Thursday, Morgan lovingly allowed me the opportunity to go climbing with Tim. It was so much fun. We went with Jo and Quinn and had a super time. We climbed for almost five hours and my arms ached for two days after. It was so worth it though. Tim introduced me to bouldering, which is so fun. We really enjoyed our time there.






I have to start this backwards for it to work in the web so here goes. We had a great time. I'm so thankful for the visit. It is good to have family here, but great to have visits from my first family. I love you guys. Thanks for making the sacrifices to come and see us.
