Too Cute

I just had to share these with every one.

I shouldn't be up here, but I just love the view.

I don't want to get down.

Visiting Aunt Jenny

Tanner loved the water fall at the pool. He had a hard time with the rest of swimming. I think it is time we put him in swim lessons.

Elwyn loved playing on the steps.

We went up to Mesa for Brindly's birthday party. Tanner had a great time haveing someone to play with who loved princesses. He watched the Little Mermaid for the first time and still asks for it at home. I don't have it but I am looking for it. They both liked the pool. They had not been in a big pool all summer. I think it is time to start swim lessons. Thank you Jenny for a good time. We look forward to seeing you in July.

Yard Sale Super Heros

I got these costumes at a yard sale. Now every time Mac comes over I have super heros flying around the house all day. They play protect the princess (Elwyn) and I am the dragon. It is too much fun.

Kiddy Pool

We got a blow up pool for the summer and I put it under the slide. Elwyn had so much fun and was totally fearless. She would go do front ways, backwards, head first, it was crazy. Tanner didn't like it as much because his face would get wet. But he is getting used to it little by little. The two red heads are Mac and Levi, the two boys I babysit.

RaeAnn Got Married

My sister ReaAnn got married on May 17th.

She looked really beautiful in her dress and she was practicly glowing. I remember when I was young and glowy.

Tanner was lucky enough to get to pose was her for perfetional pictures. He had a lot of fun with Daddy posing for the pictures of all the decorations.

Elwyn was kind of cranky. I made her dress though.

This was our attempt at a family photo in front of the temple. It was so hot there that Elwyn would not let us take away her sippy cup on pains of makeing a scene. And Tanner was very upset that he was not allowed inside the temple to see ReaAnn.
They found some shade to recover their strength so they could go pick flowers with Daddy.

I just love these two pictures of Elwyn. She is so smart! Today she said elephant and gorilla. She will be two in August but she is so small. What a joy my children are. I love walking into a room and she will yell "Mommy!" and give me a big hug even though I saw her two minets ago in the kitchen.


Tanner is such a great kid. We are working on haveing him dress himself. He does really well but gets stuck in his shirt. It is so amazing when you ask him a question and then listen to his mind work as you get a more detailed answer than you thought possible.

Loosing the Baby

It was devistating to lose our baby. After all we went through with the suprize pregancy and IUD dangers. We were just int the clear when I went in for a check up and learned the baby's heart was no longer beating. Cheryl was so kind to arrange with my husband to get me flowers. He is so clever. Instead of getting me flowers that would fade he got me rose bushes and bouganveillas. Now I have the beginings of a flower garden. It was the perfect gift because it gave me something to take care of. I also started to scrapbook, but if you want to see it you have to come to our house. That helped me remember my blessings and happy times. But what hepled the most was going to visit my sister in law Jenny. Her husband (on my request) was able to show me what Spinal Bifida is (that was the reason for the baby's passing away). I had never even heard of that and it helped me see that loosing the baby now was better than having it be born with that. Thank you everyone for your support and prayers. And thank you to my Mom for helping take care of me, what would I do without you.
