National Book Festival

The grass is always greener ...

Gary's worked really hard this month digging up our very dead grass. Today he put down new soil and sod. It looks great! Who knew a little tiny yard could be so much work.

The White House

We had a fun day Friday touring the White House.

Surprise

Today I found a little surprise when I went to throw something away in the dumpster at our church

School Days again

Back to school again! I'm always so sad on Labor Day - the last day of swimming at the pool and having all my girls home for summer. We've had such a fun summer - obviously, because I sure haven't spent much time blogging. But the girls have really been enjoying this first week of school. Rebekah is doing great in 3rd grade, and Samantha is really enjoying Kindergarten. Yea!
How are your kids doing with school?




Samantha and her fellow kindergarteners - and Danielle. Danielle assumed she was getting on the bus too, so she was a little bummed. She misses the girls and keeps asking for Sammy to come home and play baby dolls with her. And she won't take off her backpack - she even takes her nap with it.

Our Danielle

Our Danielle is so much fun. She always keeps us laughing. What a hoot!

She wants to say hi to Grandpa and tell him, "Don't forget to eat!"

Baptism Day

Wow! What a special day! Rebekah's baptism yesterday was absolutely perfect! We were so glad to have Grammy and Grampy there and our ward family. It was so special to see my worthy husband baptize and confirm my sweet daughter. I really have no words. Okay, so maybe I have just a couple more. Everyone always says, "It's different when it's your own child." And it really is. I remember being baptized, and now to be the mother and to see my own daughter being baptized is so amazing! We love you, Rebekah!
