The HOUSE is spinning!!!!

Lizzy and her cousin on the water slide...

This was so funny for me to watch these two kids that were born within a month of each other and their different personalities! Davis spent the whole time going up and down the same slide, the same way and made it look like it was his duty! It is definately my side of the family that he has taken after, namely, my brother, Will (Routines do not change, otherwise, we are extremely out of our element). The only variation was the side he would exit. Lizzy would go up and down the slide and then would want to go and do the same thing the older kids were doing, so she'd follow them around a little and eventually would come back and join Davis with his routine. It's such a blast to watch the cousins together. Sometimes I get teary eyed watching them together they love each other so much. We are so fortunate to be so close to so much family.

Meliah, Christian and Lizzy recently spent the day with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Kerri and their cousins there too. They got to see a movie and go swimming. Grandma brought them all back home too. I sure appreciated a day to take care of some things at home. I wonder why we can't continue to laugh and scream and hug and hop around when we (as adults) see each other. What happens to us? Aaron and I were just able to get away to go to the temple and the kids got to stay with my mom for the day! They sure do get spoiled having so much family around. WE LOVE YOU!

Emma Smith, My Story movie in Oroville

I just thought I would let you know that the Emma Smith Movie is on Monday, July 28th at 6:30pm and 8:30 pm in Oroville (Feather River Cinemas). It will also be shown on Monday, August 4th at the same time and place. This movie is well worth it... you won't be disappointed! For those of you that are not nearby, here is the link for other showings:

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.
