Yum!


I don't know how she does it, but several times I've found her this way in the morning.

We went to the zoo with my uncle. I don't know why we didn't get a picture with him in it.


Our new jogging stroller! So smooth!

Happy Belated Birthday!

I'm still in catch up mode. Brynlie turned 4 in November. It was so funny because all last year her favorite number was 3. She wanted 3 cookies, or 3 scoops of ice cream. I always had to sing 3 songs at bedtime and of course we had to stand in check-out isle 3. Her favorite game was to go through the UNO cards and find all the number 3s. Well, now that she has turned 4, the number 3 is long forgotten. I was afraid she'd adopt the number 4 as a favorite, but so far we're safe. Now she gets however many scoops I want to give her and she gets 1 song for bedtime (of course her siblings also get to choose so she really hears 3-4 songs a night). This was the year that she really understood what birthdays were all about. She was so excited! It was such a lovely day outside so for lunch we had a picnic at the park. It was fun to get out of the house. In the evening we had a little party. It was low-key, but we still had fun. Our sweet blue eyed Brynlie This was her new...

Happy Birthday Kamary!

Image
THE DAY HAS ARRIVED!!! In our church, girls turning 12 graduate from Primary and go to a program called Young Women that is geared toward teens. Kamary has always been mature for her age and has been tired of Primary for quite a while. I think she wanted to go into Young Women when she was 9 or something. So it has been an excruciating 3 years waiting to be old enough to graduate!! Her birthday was on a Sunday and so she spent it in Young Women. Several girls had July birthdays so we ended up having cake to celebrate. Church is always better with cake! :) Instead of having a birthday party this year, Kamary wanted a day out with her friend. So they went to Subway for lunch and then saw The Avengers movie. After that they wanted to go to Hobby Lobby. I tell you, my daughter can definitely out-shop me!! Kamary and her friend Kayli at Hobby Lobby. Here is Kamary with some of her presents. She loves black and white and the zebra print lo...

Change is in the air!

It's been a while, a great while, since I've posted and a lot of things have changed in our family...not just the fact that I'm blogging again. ;) Long story short...we moved to Utah. I guess I can elaborate a little more than that!  We were struggling financially and had tried several ways to save our home, including loan modifications, etc. When those were declined, we tried to short sell. We actually had a buyer and a broker that "had never lost a case". In the contract, the buyer would let us stay in the home and rent from them. That way we could stay where we were and have lower payments. Perfect! As far as we knew, everything was going great with the short sale. Then, in one week, the bank denied the sale, put the house up for auction and sent us an eviction notice. We had 5 days to be out. Looking back, we see that the bank didn't really want to work with us at all. Everything we tried just turned into a brick wall. They didn't sell the ho...
