Liam's first day of school

School!!!

School has started! I can't believe my kids are getting so grown up.  And I actually have a minute to sit down and post!  Grace is in 3rd grade this year and Luke in 5th.  CRAZY!!  I mean, I REMEMBER 5th grade.  Actually, it was horrible but I am not telling Luke that.  Probably due to my pre-pubescent hormones or something, I remember crying almost everyday after school.  So far it seems good for both of them, their teachers seem great and they have done well in school in the past so things should be good.  Can't forget about Liam...picture to come soon!  My little boy in Kindergarten.  Now that is crazy.

Grace's baptism

 Thanks Dad for taking all these pictures...I can't take credit at all!

 Grandma Linny made Grace's beautiful dress.

Don't ask me where Luke was in all these pictures...I promise he was at the baptism!  He is good at ducking out when a lot of stuff is going on and no one notices for that same reason.  Hmmm... Anyway it was a wonderful day and full of family and the Spirit.  I cried more than once, of course!  As expected.  We are so happy for Grace and proud of her for making this decision.  She is growing into such a beautiful young lady and we are lucky to have her as part of our family. 

Summer continues...

 Still gardening...and pulling weeds.

 Luke did art camp and also space camp....success!!

 Baking and chocolate with Grandma Pam

 Yummy peanut butter cake I made for July b days

 Madisyn....cutie pie.

 July bday party

 Grace gets 3 teeth pulled- she scored with the Tooth Fairy!

 Liam gets major road rash after jumping off the back of a moving motor scooter with only his swimsuit on.

 Grace has her 8th birthday party with friends.

My two beautiful girls!

Redemption

Okay so I feel like I need to redeem myself after the Princess Lea picture.  Even if I do look little cross eyed (hey I was taking my own picture), at least my hair is better!

Summer Update

Okay MOM!!! My mom has been "bugging' as I would say, for more pictures.  She is right, I have been slacking.  So I am now going to be up to date.  At least for today. :) Here is our summer so far, what I have taken pictures of anyway...

Liam finishes his 2nd year of soccer.

Liam actually took this picture...a photographer in the making!

Baby Brielle and Grace

Baby Brielle and Luke....I need some pictures of Baby Madisyn!

Outside the Boy Scout store

No this isn't permanent marker...I try to only buy washable....for this reason exactly.

Major bed head in St. George

Grace chops her hair!

Cute!

Claire goes to the dentist for the 1st time...no cavities!

Liam at Grandma Pam and Grandpa Keith's - new birthday outfit.  STOP in the name of the law!

Grace and Luke have been getting along pretty well lately...when they are tv zombies that is.

My first try at fondant, turned out pretty good I thought.

Star Wars party for Liam's 6th bday.  Waiting in line for Jedi training from Aunt Dina.

Action shot!

Guess who?

Classic Liam and Luke

I finally used something I found on Pinterest!  Light sabers from pool noodles.  It was a hit!

Claire and her tired pose...Sucking her thumb and playing with her belly button.  

Someone please remind me not to wear my hair like this again.  LOL
