Our new profile Pic!

Well, I don't usually like to share pic's of myself, but I think I found a pic I actually like. This was at the wedding we just went to Nebraska for in April. We had fun.............

aurora's party!!!

we had aurora's party last night. it was a princess party if you can't tell :) danny and i made a castle out of big cardboard boxes. i wish i had the time and and space to paint it b/c then it would have looked a little less white trash-y but the kids don't notice and could care less about how the castle looks, so it was ok. danny had the good idea to bring out a bunch of markers and stickers and let the kids decorate it themselves. they loved that!
i also made swords and shields out of the leftover cardboard which the boys adored. i think those were a bigger hit with the boys then the castle was. and the girls got to decorate crowns, and pick out rings and necklaces to wear.
danny bbqed hotdogs; and we had cupcakes and cookies. yum!! it was a little cool and windy but all and all i think it was a sucess!
the 3rd picture is aurora with her two friends, evelyn and grayson. they have been friends since birth and they are so cute together!
alrighty hope everyone is doing well!

party cont.

why is taking pictures so hard??

is it just my children or does everybody have a really hard time getting both kids to look at the camera at the same time??!! i'm not even asking for smiles, just both looking at the camera!
today they had cute church outfits so i took about 50 pictures and these are the best of the best.
the last one is kind of cute though; don't they look like they're modeling? hehe
hope everyone had a good sunday! love you and miss you!

It is time to take the Glamor Shot off the blog!

Rachel, the blog looks nice with the new color. Zennie said you are the administrator now. Would you please remove my picture! Zennie wouldn't! I am tired of looking at it. Loved Aurora's song. She is so smart and to be able to do it in front of the ward is amazing! Happy Birthday Aurora! I love and miss you!!!! Grandma

I Belong to the Church of Jesus Christ

aurora sang this song in our ward talent show. i stood next to her, but hid behind the curtain up on stage and she sang it all by herself! i could not believe that she actually went through with it. and of course we forgot to take our video camera. luckily i had video taped her at home earlier in the week b/c i wanted to send the video to nana on her birthday (same day as aurora's bday-today!!)

aurora is still sick so we are keeping our fingers crossed that she will feel well enough to have her special bday dinner at chic-fil-a tonight. we'll have to see b/c for the past 3 days basically all she has eaten are popsicles.

Idaho or bust

The kids said goodbye to Uncle Derek :(

happy baby sick baby

Derek missionary pictues

You are right Rachel! Zennie has her own blog now and I am too lazy to take pictures. I don't know what Diana's problem is. Here are some pictures Zennie took of Derek for his missionary application. Of course he doesn't like any of them. Brian got accepted to BYU-Idaho Summer/Fall Block. So he was go to school, come home and go back. It is the pits!

ok seriously, someone else needs to post of this gosh darn blog or i am changing the name to "rachel's blog."
