Cute pictures! I really love the way kaylee has done her hair for the Pictures. Poor Cade is so sad after Grandma shut his little bum cheek in the door. I didnt think he was really hurt because after all, Cade doesnt really have a bum cheek! But sure enough he had a little red mark there when we got home. Oh! Im such a bad mom for talking about his bum cheeks like that!!! (I think I spelled cheek wrong!)

Birthday Dinner Fun!

We had fun with everyone last night! Here are some pictures from the evening. (sorry I don't know what was with the red-eye)

Memories

Since no one has posted in a while I thought I would post some old pictures. We finally got our old pictures onto our new computer. It has been so fun to see the pictures on the screensaver!

Christmas with the crazies....

OK,
That picture of the men "relaxing" is pretty funny. They all look really stressed out except for dad. Almost like they have all had pretty stressful weeks at work. Poor guys!!!

I took this picture during the last Birthday/Father's Day dinner. The men...relaxing outside. So fun to see everyone.

Grandpa shared the story of America Jane with the grandkids.

Joseph Smith was hiding under a bridge so they sent America Jane, who was just a young girl, with a pail of bread and milk for the prophet.  Because she was so young the bad guys didn't notice her and she was able to safely bring him food.

The wall are on the far side of the cemetery.  America Jane was down and to the right.
