Family Circus

Today we went to my sister's church. Her adorable baby was blessed along with 3 others. After the first two Malia was getting antsy. I was trying to keep her quiet, "Look at that little baby girl!"

Her response, "Baby gils dink."
"Did you just say, 'baby girls stink?' "
"Yes mommy. Baby gils DINK."

So much for trying to keep her quiet.
A few minutes later was the sacrament. She was standing on the pew and waving her hands. "Kumon bread!"

After church, while pointing to herself, "This lil' gil pooped her pants again!"

Town Days Parade


Canyon's Team
Have you ever been to a small town parade with your brother who coached football for 8 years? Then as the new high school football team passes (and many of them were coached by your brother) on their float they pelt your section of the crowd with salt water taffy? Such was our Town Days Parade. The kids couldn't complain. They each ended up with a bowl FULL of candy.

Picture of the Day

Crying Wolf

Malia has learned a couple phrases that immediately command our full attention:
"I go poop."
"I tired."

She now says them whenever I am in the middle of something (a shower, on the phone, reading with Jeffrey or Brooklynn, etc.).

Yesterday she decided to get Brooklynn in trouble. She kept telling me, "Bookin call me dinky farface." (Brooklynn called me a stinky fart face.)

Summer Break

Sunday night we announced that 'summer break' was starting- no school for a few weeks. Aahhhh. I don't know who is enjoying it more, me or the kids! We've been relaxing, swimming, hiking, playing, and just having a good time.
Here are a few pictures at the gym with Uncle Skylar and some cousins. He gave the kids a gymnastics overview. They had a great time!
Stretching- even Malia was trying
A little more stretching
My kids were impressed with Camilla's flexibility

Jeffrey

Aunt Brenda took some pictures of Jeffrey that I just LOVE!



This one is one of my favorites because you can see the freckles across his nose and the light hits his eyelashes.



This one is Mark's favorite- it really captures his personality.
