Bridgete

Happy Birthday to my darling Bridgete.  I love this girl so much.  Daughters are so special. 

I love talking to her about life...you know, life when you are in first grade.....

the boys that talk too much in her class,

 her request for a heart shaped sandwich in her lunch,

 the necessity to sing "I Am A Child Of God" every night before bed,

 pretty toenails,

 what clothes her baby dolls should wear,

how we have the cutest baby in the whole universe,

the fact that she is the fastest girl on her soccer team,

how far she can jump,

the need for daily art projects,

made up stories for her baby dolls,

and the list goes on. 

Sons don't talk about any of that,

just daughters.

My daughter.

I Love You.

a typical birthday picture.  Love this one even though it is blurry as heck.  LOOK everyone, Evan is smiling his regular smile and I captured it.  And he is holding Sophie...I think that is the third time that has EVER happened :)

Summertime

Summertime...and the living is easy.

School is in full swing and the kids are not used to it.  They loved this summer.  Spencer told me over and over again how this was the best summer ever.  Cute. 

Since I didn't post any pictures over summer, here are a few. 

I think these photos definitely represent the Summer of 2010 :)

And now we will move on.

I'M BACK!

School started yesterday.  I now have a chunk of time while Sophie is napping to blog. 

 Who cares about that sink full of dirty dishes,

or the four loads of laundry that needs to be folded

 or the floor that needs to be vacuumed?

Ok, the vacuuming needs to be done...I'm funny that way. 

 But stay tuned for our summer highlights.  There were a lot of highlights.

Here is a sample.  She is a water lovin baby!
