Recent Pictures

Lots of fun pictures!

My Mom gave Marlee this dress when she was born. I am so glad she can finally wear it. It is so cute on her.

I almost caught a smile!

This picture cracks me up. It looks like Marlee has really had such a hard day or something.

Karalee recently learned to ride her bike!

This picture was taken on Father's Day. Chad made up a fun game for us to play. We rolled those balls onto the rug, they had to make it past the string and each color had a different point value.

Friday evening we headed to Pine to stay in Art and Brenda's cabin. On Saturday we went to the stream not too far away and had so much fun playing in the water.

Marlee just napped in her car seat the whole time.

Marlee reaches for toys now. She is growing up so fast. She turned three months old yesterday.

While we were playing the stream some boys let Spencer borrow their tube to take a quick ride.

Boundin

Here is a video of Bryant saying the poem from Pixar's Boundin' video. We didn't know he had memorized it, until he recited it tonight.

Year Supply

Yesterday I was watching the BYU channel for a few minutes and they were discussing these verses from Isaiah. It really prompted me to stay diligent about my year supply.

"Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech. Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail the gathering shall not come." Isaiah 32:9-10

The scholars on the channel weren't talking about year supply, but to me that's what the scripture seems to mean.

50 Years!

Yesterday was my parent's 50th wedding anniversary! They gave me such a good example of how a marriage should work. I am so thankful for the love they have for each other.

(I stole all of these pictures from my sister's blog. She steals mine sometimes so I don't feel too bad.)

50 years ago

Either early married life or while they were engaged...I'm not sure which

1984 or 85...not too long after Kayla (their 13th) was born

On one of their many trips

At the White House

At Amy's wedding reception

Dancing at my niece's reception, just a couple of months before Dad passed away

The family at the time of Amy's wedding (this is the most recent family picture we have taken--now there are 7 more grandchildren + 4 grandchildren's spouses, and 2 great-grandchildren)

Karalee swimming

During one of Karalee's swimming lessons Caroline, Karalee's teacher, had her husband take some underwater shots of the swimmers. Karalee's turned out SO cute.

Leave it to the Professionals!

Amy Dana (my sister's sister-in-law) came to my house a couple of months ago to take pictures of Marlee, she wanted practice taking pictures of a new born. She did a fantastic job! She also snapped a couple pictures of my other children as well.
