Nauvoo Pagent

This year we hit the pageant with some friends...with a session for the ladies before while the men loved the children. It was great...until it had to end. Such it is with most things! I love the spirit that can be felt in Nauvoo even if you are dragging around grumpy tired children!

Elder Hatch

So the girls were writing their Uncle Grant...and this was the letter Abbi wrote It was so cute I had to take a picture and document this... I especially love the part when she writes.." are you almost done?)  This was written like his second week out! Gotta love it.

Johnson County Fair

So I took the girls to the Fair and what a time we had...we saw every animal that was to be seen and went to every vendor table that was offering something desirable to children ... and Abbi bought with her own money the highly coveted Cotton CANDY!!!

My camera died just after this photo but...let it be know that no more cotton candy will be purchased by this girl...  EVER
that night  everyone of the girls was throwing up like crazy all night long and some of the next day and I'll be glad if we never see another bowl of throw up again or bag of cotton candy for that matter. (I do realize that is unlikely but a girl and dream can't she!)

List Writer and Organizer

So for our little family vacation to the Whitney family Reunion in Huron South Dakota Abbi made us a list and we all got assigned jobs. They all are so excited to go...lets hope all the assignments get done!

Forgive me I couldn't help myself!

  So our Baby is 10 months old... how time truly flys it was about this time last year I got my kidney stones CRAZY!

Vivian is such a delight to have in our home. She crawls like a mad woman, she pulls her self up on everything and walks along  whatever it is, she can take herself up a few stairs, and she can scream as loud as all three of her sisters put together!  We love her and are so glad she is apart of our family!

*These pictures were taken at a little pool party thrown by the Oral Surgery Department for the  residents!

Friday Field Trip

Friday field trip... Splash Park

Swimming

So we FINALLY put Abbi and Elli in Swim Classes... for the past 2 weeks (when it wasn't raining) they have been "learning" how to swim! They love it! Today was their last day of the first session. We were lucky to have some friends taking the same session.  Thanks for the great company!

"The Teeth"

So Vivian has a strange pattern of teeth eruption... for a while there she only had her top right little "fang" her front middle is  finally breaking through!
