My kids trying to model for pictures!

So for some reason my kids have been really hilarious lately. Whenever I try to take a picture they try to pose and it really makes me laugh. I'm not sure if it's because their Auntie is a photographer or that they have some cousins that have won in some modeling contests. See lindsaywphotography.blogspot.com for some of her work. Anyway, here are a few of the funniest pictures of my kids... keep in mind that they have never been involved with or been to a professional photo shoot. Hilarious!

I'm LEARNING how to Blog!

Thank you Holly and Becky! I have been so confused about some things that I just got! So, I didn't grow up in the generation of computer (I think I might be dating myself)... so I tend to be timid about things on the computer. I've been so worried that I'd mess something up that I was just adding things the only way that I found out and I stuck with that. So I was adding everything to the customize part and frustrated that I couldn't get anything to go to my older posts. I didn't realize that it was different than posting something! So I'm super excited because I feel like a lightblub has gone off and I can do it. A lot of frustration has left and I think I can do this now! Thank you Becky! I appreciate you're willingness to help me through this.

My girls are so funny!

Both of my girls love being in front of the camera. They are constantly smiling and asking us to take pictures of them. They both have such sweet personalities that we enjoy! Meliah has taught Elizabeth so many cute things. If I am in the other room and hear them talking, I can't tell the difference between their voices. Elizabeth sounds just like her big sister! Elizabeth said, "That is not appropriate" in the car on the way home from church today. It sounded just like her sis! This picture is of them with their cousin, Grace.

The boys on their Mountain Man experience!

He would throw and stick his axe in a tree stump. You have to throw it just right!
Christian with his friends, Ivan and Ammon and Cooper.

The boys loved throwing axes, making fires and learning how to live like the mountain men did. I love how into it these guys get! Christian loves spending time with his best friends, his cousins!

Mom and Dad were married 50 years ago!

It's amazing it has been 50 years! I am so grateful for my parents and their great example to me! I love you mom and dad!

July 3, 2008

It has been an extremely busy summer so far. I was able to go to girls camp for a week which turned out to be a great break for me. My wonderful parents took care of them while Aaron was at work every day. I also was able to go to my niece, Cortney's wedding in the St. George temple. She married a local boy from around here, so we are sure we'll be seeing a lot of them. It was beautiful and so great to see Jon and Laurie and all the kids that I hadn't seen in soo long. It was also really nice to spend some alone time with my mom and dad in the car. If any of you have made that trip to St. George you know how many hours you are in the car. I haven't spent that kind of time with my parents ever (I think I may be their favorite - ha ha)! It was really nice! This summer we will be celebrating my mom and dad's 50th Wedding anniversary and having a family reunion. We all look forward to it. My mom and dad are amazing people who have really dedicated their lives to helping their children and all of their posterity to be better! Their only request from all their children was that we would all be in the temple with them on that day! We are all hoping and praying that we all can! We miss all of you that live so far away! I don't have many pictures of you, send some please! We love you!
