Hey Everyone!
My little sister is in a media management class, and she had to create some type of blog as a group. They picked fun things to do in Rexburg. They get points on how many people visit the site, so check it out for her. :) Here is the link: http://funrexburgactivities.blogspot.com/

Aunts and Uncles...

We got to spend some times with family this Father's Day- Beth's husband Jonathon was so sweet with Seth! He's going to have a little doll soon too! I can't wait for Beth to have her little Lyla lamb!

Aren't my girls lucky to have an Aunt that let's them tackle her? She is so patient and good to them. Today, she made a funny little bird house with them and they were thrilled. She is the best!

The girls and I had lunch at the park today- they were pretty tickled with it!

A Typical Day...

Autumn has a hard time waiting for everyone to sit down and pray- I caught her helping herself to cantaloupe yesterday!

Fresh from her nap- Autumn came wandering up the stairs from her nap very serious and wearing this crown. Made me chuckle. Typical Princess! :)

The girls notices a rainbow on daddy's hand and he told them that he was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I think they believed him. I did. :)

This little man LOVES the tub! He is so happy there! The only time he starts fussing is if I take him out. He just sits and kicks so cute. I love watching him!

Seth Rolled Over Last Week...

Can you believe my baby is already rolling over!!! Ok- so not totally consistently, he has done it a couple times, and I did happen to catch this time on video.

Playin' with the Kitties...

The girls are loving the wide open spaces! They have just been jumping on the tramp and exploring the backyard in search of kitties all day long! Pretty much we're just hangin' out. It has been really fun! We're still getting tons of rain- we're waiting for the sun so that we can go play at the splash park.

Singin' in the Rain...

Life at Grandma and Grandpa's

They've been putting Amberlee to work! (I'm glad someone is teaching her to clean properly. :) She has been dusting and watering plants. She also had a fun Grandma day with Grandma Kaye and they went to the library.

Aunt Goo found Jezabelle's kitties in the woodpile. They were pretty cute and Amberlee was pretty excited, but a little nervous. :)

Nice Hair-do...

Grandma keeps getting a hold of Seth's hair to give him and awesome mo-hawk!

Aunt Goo has been so good to the girls! They now request her to help them wipe, tuck them in, get them lunch, etc. Pretty much I have been replaced, and in some cases, I'm ok with that. :)

Blessing Day

I just had a few fun pictures I wanted to post from Seth's blessing.

My cousin Ruffin and his cute wife Liz came, and it is fun how our kids have matched up within about a month of each other. They just had a cute little girl about a month and half ago. I'm glad Amberlee and Gracee are good friends!

Seth's Blessing

We had Seth's blessing on Monday. It was so special and we had so much family support! We were blessed to have almost 40 people at my parents house. There were 12 priesthood holders in the circle. I thought that was pretty awesome! It was so fun to see everyone and Seth received such a special blessing- I know he has a strong spirit and an important mission in front of him. It is sad because he crying in all the pictures, but he really was quite pleasant and didn't fuss at all during the blessing. I guess we just kept catching him at the wrong time. It was pretty special because he is wearing the same blessing outfit and blanket Doug had when he was blessed. It was from his Great Grandma (Seth's great great) so that was pretty cool.

Home again, home again, jiggity jig...

Well, we made it to Grandma and Grandpa's safe and sound. It was a LONG drive! We seriously made at least 7 or 8 stops, I got to listen to a crying baby much of the way, and we ran out of gas at one point, and drove through heavy rain most of the way, but we made it and feel very blessed to be here with my sweet in-laws. They have been so nice to open their doors to us and help us settle in. Doug was so excited to start work today! And tonight, we'll be blessing Seth, so we have some fun things coming up and live is good!

While I was blogging...

So I guess the neglect isn't always caused by the need of sleep. While I was on the computer for a minute this morning, Amberlee ran in and said, "Mommy, I'm so sorry..." That usually means something bad happened. Sure enough, they had managed to pull off the screen door. Notice their aparel. And have I learned my lesson, because here I am now. Hmmmm.... :) Perhaps I need to take a little break.
