Nursery

We had this gate in the door and when we open the door for the parents to come pick-up their kids they come to find this. Aren't they just so stinkin' cute.

Phil and I had our last week in the nursery so we took the camera to get pictures of the kids. We only had 22 kids last week with people on vacation, but I am going to miss them all. We are now called to be the Ward Missionaries, which is still fun and exciting. We were just getting the hang of the whole nursery thing, but I guess that is just how it works.

And then there was one...

So Phil had his work trip down to Portland this week and we thought it would be a good idea for me to leave the kids with his mom and come with him. Well he worked all day so this is just a re-cap of all the great things I did by myself...
1. Ran


Yeah, yeah, yeah, you all wish you could look this good after a run.

2. Enjoyed some ice cream. (take pictures of myself)



3. Sat in the room and read. (I finished two books, neither of them were that great.)



4. Sat in the park and watched people...but all the people were at work.



5. Walked around town and pretended to like shopping. I lasted two hours in the stores and bought a new pair of running shoes and that was all I could take. It was a cute little area with great streets.



6. The best part of the whole trip was driving back and forth with Phil and getting to have three date nights in a row. We went and saw some movies, went to the Temple, listened to great old CDs and talked. It was great.
Sorry I posted before I rotated the picture.

Nothing Much

Nothing much going on around here right now, but thought I would put up the pictures of the kids from the other night. They did catch a dead fish the other day and have been keeping it in a bucket. Cannon was sure it was just sleeping so needed to watch it for a few hours to see if it would stop floating and start swimming around. He was just as excited to see that a ladybug came and swam around the fish. I made the kids wash their hands really well before they ate lunch and the fish has since been wrapped in a bag and taken to his final resting place...the garbage.

I got my hair cut the other day. Just a few inches off for the summer. All the swimming and sun have taken a toll on the not so great hair anyway.

Dance Baby!

Lyla is getting to such a fun stage right now and starting to really love hanging out with her big brother and sister. I turned the music on the other day, got the camera out and captured this...

She is my 80's rock star baby with her very inspired hair do.

More Birthday...

Miya requested that we put this picture up because she took it.
Here are a few videos we took yesterday when Cannon got his bike for his birthday. You can tell how brave out children really are in the second video. I am sure it had something to do with me getting angry on Saturday when they ran the car into the garage door by taking off the emergency brake and putting it in gear. We have a downhill slope to the driveway and learned what that meant the hard way. They seem to be doing better this morning.
