Wrapping Up July

Is that even possible?  I barely took any photos and we did so much, that I'm not confident I can wrap it up.

We jumped on the tramp and Grandma Cindy's which was a blast!  From the oldest child to the youngest grandchild.... it was a fun way to play.

We had Paula and Emery and Kendra and her kids in town. 

WE went to the parade and the fireworks on the 4th of July.

Landon and Kyle went to the Father's and Sons outing, while we girls had a Nail party with friends.

Jake and Becca got married, and we had fun at their reception.

Jocelyn's got her T ball party tonight, and I know she's getting a trophy!

We've hit Rigby Lake several times.  The kids LOVE that.

New neighbors moved in, just a few doors down: The Thompsons.   The kids were instant friends.  In fact, I think I'll snap a photo of them all together soon!

Landon rediscovered Legos.

We haven't been able to go camping or anywhere as a family thus far, so we let the kids sleep for about a week, in their sleeping bags down stairs. They quickly discovered riding the stairs in their bags.

Catelyn's been a great helper in keeping the house, as we put it on the Market exactly one week ago.

Brooklyn thinks she can go wherever she wants in the neighborhood.

Combined, the four of them have gone through about 300 Popsicles.





 



And that's a wrap!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!     Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!! I have picked out a few photos that I love of you, Catelyn, and hope that you know how special you are as you look at this post.   You truly are a Daughter of God and are so beautiful.   We are so glad you are a part of our family! *You love to play outside. *You like math, have struggled with reading, and love recess. *You stood with Amanda in that wedding line for 45 minutes.   *You are a girly girl.  Lipstick, makeup, nail polish and perfume make you happy. *You yell a lot.  We are working on an inside voice. * You seem to want to stop sucking your thumb.  *You love the computer. *You love to shop. *You have one year to be ready for your baptism! *When you fall asleep, you are out like a light! *You love your teacher, Ms. Bair. *You need a bigger bike. *You enjoy watching Phineas and Ferb. *You draw people really well, and ...

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Catelyn--The Birthday Girl!

She knew.  I told her that she was getting a dress for her 8th birthday.  We tried some on, and fell in LOVE with the one we ended up surprising her with!  Doesn't she look too grown up?   I teared up as I watched 12 more years flash before my eyes as I saw her in this mini-wedding dress.  But it was the one for her.  We knew it. With Grandpa Dean's passing, we received special permission {which Kyle didn't like to have to ask for, because in the church handbook, it specifically says "Members should not ask for special permission to baptize their children. . .blah, blah blah....*Oh!! not that I am making fun of the handbook.  I just don't what it says exactly* I argued back that this was a rare exception, and we should at least ask. {Also, not as rare as I thought-- as I found out Friday night -March 18- that the family who had a viewing going at the same time as ours, at Coltrin's, had a baptism and a funeral in the same day as well! ...
