I finished!

I finished the final Harry Potter and although I won't spoil it for anyone I have to tell you I loved the book! This is a wonderful finale to a tremendous series. I cannot tell you all how moved I was. I cried like a baby and more than that I realized that without the encouragement of each of you children I would not have read these great books. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have and that we can talk about it soon.
Love,
mom

A great visit!!

Hello! We had a wonderful time with Aiden and Sarah! Thank you Price for taking the time to drive half way so that we could spend that time together. I think the only thing that would have made the visit better would be to have you here too. Next time. Here are some photos from the visit. I should have gotten some bathtub photos. Liam and Isa took turns taking baths with Aiden every night. Emery and Aiden got along so well. They were great at sharing and what Aiden didn't realize he wanted to share, Em helped herself to. They were so cute together. Sarah and I got some good catch up time. We spent a morning at the zoo where Aiden performed a perfect Elelphant sound. We spent two days at the beach with our beach babies. All the kids loved that. They all enjoy the water and each of the babies had a great time in the sand. We also went to cheekwood botanical gardens to see the storybook garden. It was so fun. We were HOT but we enjoyed the beautiful gardens and had a nice time. So life is great! Sisters are wonderful and I am so grateful to have such a great one in my life. I am truly blessed.

twirly dresses and little men

We have a sweet friend who just made Isa a beautiful Belle dress to wear. So we have a few photos of her twirling in her new dress and a photo of Liam wearing Price's baptism suit. (This is heading to you next Sarah.) I can't believe how fast these guys are growing.

fourth of july fun

Oh the 4th is so fun! We had a great time here. I had to have a big party to make up for the fact that this is the first fourth of july I was not with mom and dad. Yes in thirty years I have managed to be home for the 4th. It wasn't easy, but we made it fun. We had our neighbors,some friends from the branch, the missionaries and the brothers and sisters over, so we had a great time. Hamburgers, hot dogs and assorted cakes, brownies and salads made our meal that much better. Liam and Isa were excited because Nic and Christy shared their fireworks. It was great fun.
By the way...EMERY IS WALKING!!! yep that's crazy I know, but she seems to want to grow up so fast. It is so fun.

It began by trying them on ......................

Hi everyone - I am going to dominate the blog and don't mean to, I just miss all of you and wish we were closer to share our special days!! I took some fun pics of Amelia and Jayden in their new "pettiskirt" I love these they have about 100 yards of fabric (each slip!) and are so fun for Jayden to wear around I thought you might like to see!! Love you all and will add some pics of the 4th.

The Great Pea Adventure .............

The time has come that we are starting to feed Amelia her first foods, it is to say the least an adventure - the following are the pics of the first try!!
