A few recent pictures...




Linkin logs and legos of all sizes turned into various creations (amiably) a few minutes before going off to church. Notice Bear's shirt mis-buttoned! A mommy needs to capture as many harmonious moments that occur spontaneously for "happy memory" evidence!



















We went to the Zoo on Labor Day! Dan celebrated labor day by working! The kids and I celebrated Labor day by using his hard earned efforts on our zoo membership ---meaning a few hours perusing some of Heavenly Father's neatest creations. Look at those 5 cuties--sitting in a row! Love those guys! (Notice the pink faces--still pretty toasty around here!)
Went to a BBQ and swim at Kerry and Joyce's house in the afternoon where Dan joined us!

On Weekdays, Mc reads her scriptures in the morning while she eats breakfast. So this week, Pop got her scriptures out to "read" while she was eating! Notice the cool cape she is wearing too! She is super girl! Thanks for the good example Mc!

Lissa celebrated her 9th birthday a couple weeks ago! She is one terrific chickey in our family! She is smiley, clever, loves to laugh and makes friends easily! She is so full of love that she is hard to resist!She received lots of webkinz and lots of hats---what else could a girl need?

Brothers! Thick as thieves! Lego building, book reading, wrestling partners! Get under each other's skin in mere seconds, but most the time adoring of each other. Just changed their room around--no bunk bed for these guys anymore!
Thanks to Grandma who "found a great sale" on Webkinz! Lissa loves them---they all have names, and some occasionally stow away into her back pack.
Couldn't resist this picture. All the girl's inadvertently ended up with ponytails one day! Fun of being sisters! (This was on Lissa's birthday)
Made this a week ago. Why I didn't do something like this 10 years ago--I truly don't understand. But I took all the bows out of the drawer and put them up on a pretty display. Now Pop loves choosing bows to wear---(and we are thrilled when they match)! Hope life is great with you too!

Do the bows actually make it back on your cute creation?! Great idea!

Laura, would you believe yes! So far so good (2.5 weeks maybe we are still honeymooning!) So easy to make---just staple gun some long ribbon onto a wooden board---and Voila! I just happened to make the magnet board at an enrichment and then added the ribbon!
