Some Catching Up

I have been really bad about keeping up with my blog recently. There are 2 big reasons. First, we are still living with my in-law's and our computer is not in a good place for me to use it around our children. Second, I have been searching like crazy for a suitable home for our family. I think I have found that, but I will blog about that when I know for sure what we are getting.

Well, here are some pictures with our updates. The top is: we do not get enough sleep at Grandma's!!!


These are my six kids at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. They are all so small. It surprises me that so many people can take up such little space. I was really glad that Ruth and Kate had an opportunity see a temple open house.


This is Anya with her cousins Grace and Ada. I love living near so much family. It will be fun to see what all these little girls are like together when they are 13.
Here is Rachel during the fourth of July family reunion having an unusual treat.
The next pictures are all at the Family Reunion Pine Wood Derby. Kate made her car to look like an icecream cone. I think it drove about as well as an ice cream cone. But I sure love my Creative Kate.
Here is Anya trying to make Grandpa nervous and upset. (I think she is pretty good at that.) She likes to put sand in the dog water, play with mud, pick flowers... and she understands about as well as any 18month old.)
Here are cousin James Morrise, Ruth, and Johnny with all of the amazing pine wood derby creations.

Johnny's car came in first at the pine wood derby. I guess he came up came up with a good design.


Things I do not have pictures of:

The fun fire works.
Lots and Lots of cousins.
Swimming almost everyday.
Grandma's sand box.
Movies with Aunts and Uncles.

I still need to get pictures of Adam and Mariah. They are so cute together.
