Happy 8th Birthday to ADAM!!

I can't believe it! My baby is growing up!

Tuesday was his birthday. It began with friends coming over.

We started with cake and ice cream.





Then he opened presents and went straight outside to the pool and sprinkler.


After a while they came in for lunch and then it was time to go home.

Later that night we had our family celebration and presents.




And he got his very own scriptures with his name on them.


Adam is such a good boy. He is helpful and nurturing and obedient. I love him so much! Happy Birthday sweet boy!

This is my happy baby Sunday after church!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

We served him breakfast in bed and sang Happy Father's Day to him. Then he came and joined us at the table.

The boys wrapped his present. It was an awesome wrapping job.

Almost there...

He knows what is is now.

It's a Bionicle! Adam, Peter and Davey all have their own, so it was like letting Dad join the club now. They were so happy for him. They have the best Dad.

And so do I.
Happy Father's Day especially to my husband, My Dad, David's Dad, Jeff, Allen, Todd, Aaron, Clifton, Jim, Dan, Ryan, Dan, & Ryan. We sure love you guys!

Mary Amelia -3 months already!!!

She still sleeps through the night, all the way, since 1 & 1/2 months. She is happiest right after she eats (isn't everyone?) and she gives us those "my-smile-can't-get-any-bigger" smiles. I love it!





a little random hair loss!!



She's can roll over! A few times I have come in to get her and she was turned over.

The good news is, I cleaned out my freezer. The bad news is, it happened because everything got warm.
Apparently the relay in the back stopped working and I didn't notice until everything was already unfrozen. So we ate the food that was still good, quickly. The refrigerator wasn't cooling either. But it was simple fix, for a little over a hundred dollars, and our fridge is all better!

15 minutes. So easy.

muddy rascals, an almost daily event.

OK, OK, here are pictures of my baby

I'll hold off on the food pictures, for now...



And Davey, my sweet, sweet boy.


Her hair is actually done.


Here's a little profile action. All I see is me and Kimmy, sometimes Christi. Mel, I don't have baby pictures of you...what do you think??


And Daddy shows her the wonders of the computer!

My snack one night, after the kids went to bed

and I was alone!
The chocolate is a scoop of PB and semi-sweet chips melted in the microwave

Homemade banana splits!

It was time for my kids to know about banana splits, so we had them for an FHE treat. It was so fun!
