Has It Really Been Years?

It just may be time to dust off this old blog.  I decided one day to read through it and realized how much I have missed recording all of our memories.  If only just for myself.  We are going to have some exciting things happen this year and it is time for me to record it all down.  I really need to redo my layout but I do not even think I can remember how to do it, so all in good time. I was really lucky I could remember my pass word.

Miss Me?

I have received a few, uh hum, emails telling me to blog.

I guess I have not been in the right mind to do so. Also it seems time is going by fast and we are staying busy with nothing too interesting to report.

We went up to Idaho to see my niece Alyvia get blessed. While hanging out there, I caught this picture of my niece Kinzley and Emerson.

So sweet! I miss that cute little girl.

Jeremy and I went to another Depeche Mode concert. It was nice to have a night out alone.

Micah is enjoying school, this was her first day of school outfit.

I think Kindergarten is a little boring for her, she is ready for more challenging curriculum.
Here is a picture picture of Emie at Grandma's house.
I can not believe she will be in primary in January.

Sloane had her first Scripture during Primary. She did so well!

I can play a little catch up now that it is turning chilly out. We will not be running around as much, I hope.

Staying Busy

Micah and I went to do some school shopping. I just love having a shopping buddy. She is at a real fun age. Thank goodness for Children's Place or my long skinny legged girl would be pant less.

We having been enjoying all the Summer festivities. I swear here there are fireworks from July 4th til mid August.

Jeremy's office has kind of become a home away from home for us. We spent a good amount of time working. Here he is so excited to have his picture taken.

My favorite part of the entry way is the fountain. It is so relaxing and peaceful.

The girls are quite comfortable here. They usually get babysat by Grandma but occasionally we bring them up to the office. I still have not decorated the office. I can not decide which direction to go yet.
You know your kids have been around the office enough when conversations tend to go like this.

Me: "Emie come here I need you to do this."

Emerson: "I can't I am with a patient."

Last week Micah backed into a cast iron dutch oven with the hot coals still on it. It left a pretty bad burn. I wish kids understood us when we tell them to BE CAREFUL!

Sloane LOVES snakes. I have mentioned it before.

Well Friday she was in heaven getting to pet this big Momma!

Balloon animals are always a plus to any event.

I love this time of year. Fresh garden Vegetables are plentiful. Zucchini and summer squash are multiplying like crazy. I love eating fresh veggies. My favorite garden veggie is tomatoes. I can eat them all day long.

My favorite Summer dinner is a little fried squash and herb pasta.

Yummy goodness.

I like mine almost burnt. Soooo good. Can't forget a side of fresh tomato. Love harvest time.

We get to see family this weekend and are so excited to see Alyvia get blessed.

It is going to be another busy weekend. Hope you all enjoy yours.

Lil' Miss

A few weeks ago I rushed my not so little hiney to Rexburg trying to make it in time for the birth of my newest niece. Well long story short I made it. Although I have given birth myself I have never seen a baby be born, ya know from the other end. I was so excited.

She was perfect. I was tired but not exhausted as I had been other times in the delivery room. Tears filled my eyes as I watched the miracle of birth. A miracle it is indeed!

This is lil' miss Alyvia.

She is precious as can be.

I tried to sneak her home with me, but no such luck.

The adorable Family.

Last weekend I headed up to Rexburg again. This time to share Alyvia with my girls and to see my Mom.

It was fre-fre-freezing! Well compared to what I am used to for August.

The girls were enamored for a short moment. Then the commercial ended and Spongebob was back on. (hee hee) The trip, I guess, was really for me because I just loved on that sweet baby. My Mom and I headed to Idaho Falls and just had a great time hanging out together. Ahhh... the laughter between Mother and daughter and sisters.....it is the best!

All the girls holding Lil' Miss.

We ran into a family from our old ward in Texas and enjoyed catching up with them. It is always a wonderful surprise to run into friends when you least expect it.

We also ate dinner with this newly wed couple.

My girls call him Uncle Lee and we had fun meeting Angie!

It was nice to be back home and see Jeremy. I do miss my family but we get to see them all in two weeks for the Blessing. Yeah!
