Conversation from today:

This will only be funny/make sense to my family.  To me it's priceless.
Me: I don't feel so good today.  I think a hug will make me feel better.
(hug Leah)
Me: Nope, I still feel bad.
(we both laugh)
Me: That's something Grayson would say.
Leah: Yeah.
(she hugs me)
Leah: Nope, I still feel bad.  Playing a video game will make me feel better.
And scene.
She's so clever.  I think I'll keep her.

Trip to Idaho

The first week in July the kids and I drove up to Idaho.  The kids were awesome in the car!  We mostly just hung out with the cousins but there were a few fun-filled activities.

Davis did the Mutton Bustin' event at the rodeo:

 We watched Kung Fu Panda 2 at the drive-in.

And we had a blast picking 30+ pounds of cherries at an orchard in Emmett. 
This was one of my favorite things! 
They were so yummy and the orchard was beautiful.

*Our family camera isn't working too well these days and so all the pics are from my phone.  I'll try an upload some of the pictures Amber has from her camera.  You know, sometime.

More from the archives.

From June 2005

When Leah saw this picture she said, "Mom your hair is so blonde!  You just keep dying it!"

Yup.  It's fun :)

Leah age 5, at Meema's, April 2008.

A fun hike.

In August my boys spent some time at Meema's & Papa's and while they were gone us girls went on a hike up at the Bair's house.  Our friends the Bowmans and the Georges were also there so even though it got pretty hot it was still fun.

Leah took some pictures of the scenery:

Some of our group.

Whitney getting cool in the shade.

Oh the memories...

Davis was such a cute baby & toddler!  Strangers in the grocery store would always comment on how cute he was.  We've had a couple of computer problems recently and not all of our digital pictures were accessible but here are some pictures of Davis of a toddler that I cherish:

Oh, those big blue eyes!

Davis and Leah were always friends.  She was a little smothering at times but he mostly liked it.  This is a picture of her sleeping in his crib...with ALL her toys and blanket and pillow! 

So cute!

Jeff's graduation Dec 2005

Such a fun 1 year old!

Davis loved Sydney Thompson!  She could get him to sleep when I couldn't.

Davis' birthday too (he's 6!)

It's kinda random that my brother and Jeff's brother live about 20 minutes away from each other in Surprise, AZ but they do. The same weekend Harper was baptized was baby Jonas' baby blessing.  We were able to attend both festivities and later we joined forces and had a birthday cake for Davis at Trent's house with all from both families who could make it.
