Our Family

Our most recent family picture!

1st Day of school

Since my kids are on year round school it feels like a return from track break. The boys were very excited and were happy to see some familiar faces in their classes. Luke's first comment was, "Oh. no! There are two evil girls in my class"!

One last hurrah before school!

I thought 6 weeks sounded like a considerable amount of time for the kids to have off of school. It went by sooo fast. On Monday the boys start school and the routine will begin again (of course that doesn't mean the fun will stop). My friend Amy and her two girls joined us at Newport Beach this past week and the kids had a blast! They dug in the sand, made sand castles, played in a sand speed boat and went boogie boarding.

The Singing Barber!

The other night I spent the night at my parents house with the kids. To make things quick and easy we just scooted two of their ultra comfortable couches together for a quick bed.

I woke up to hear Abby singing, "wiggle your baby toes, wiggle my baby toes" from her favorite video "Baby Songs". I quickly turned around and Abigail showed me with a big grin some small trimming scissors. I quickly ran my fingers through my hair and found a lock of my hair in my hand. Luke woke up and exclaimed, "She cut my hair too", followed by Mark who said the same thing. Apparently Abigail had gone around the couch and sang while she trimmed everyones hair. She also trimmed her own hair. My first thought was, "I am so glad the scissors weren't bigger"!

Family Night!

For some reason this family night was one of the best! The Lesson was given by Luke who decided to share some of his favorite scriptures and tell why they were his favorite. Then Luke helped Mark share his favorite scripture story. Abigail said that her favorite story was about Jesus.

Next I told the kids that it was "kids choice for dessert", they could pick any dessert they wanted. They were excited to go to the frozen yogurt bar down the street. The kids love to put on the unlimited toppings.

We brought the dessert home and played games. First we played Dora Dominos, then a Pirate card game and finally UNO.

The Family is of God- make sure volume is on low

This is one of my favorite songs and I love to hear the kids sing it. It is pretty loud, just make sure your volume is on low.

Thank you so much, I love it!

Thank you Heather and Rebecca! You sure cheered up Abigail with your thoughtful gift!

If you chance to meet a frown...

Make sure your volume is on low for these videos....
