All the family

So when everyone else finally got up there Dad and Mom had some work projects for us to do. We put in hardwood floor in mom's room, patched holes, painted and put up new trim. We painted the barn, built some doors and put new trim up out there too. It reminded me of all working together when we all lived at home, a lot gets done when there are a lot of hands helping. For some reason we have several pictures like this with Ezra and Aaron up in the bucket of the tractor, this time it was for painting the top of the barn. Looks like fun eh? Grandma got skirts and wands for all the little girls at the dollar store, here is Addie, I think she wore the skirt the whole day. She is so cute!


Of course we had to fit in a basketball game at the church. With all of us we can put together a pretty decent team. We had lots of fun playing and getting some exercise and there not even any injuries, probably a FIRST!

Then was the big day of the Gulbranson (cousins) vs. Gwilliam softball game, we lost terrible, but have the excuse that none have us have played in many a year and they all just finished their season playing together! We had a blast!!!! Thanks Gulbransons! Then we ended the night with a BBQ at Mom and Dads.


And an even better end to the night Kayla and Thomas announced their upcoming wedding!!! YEAH!! We are so excited! Thomas is a great guy!

Here is Tyanna with Beckett and Tacey, so cute!


Here Tacey is swimming with Grandpa, she LOVED the water and didn't even fuss at all.



Thanks to the Whiddens for letting us swim at their house, the pool was great and was so refreshing after it being so hot there.




Kayla and Thomas, how cute are they?

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
