Synchronized Swimming - Talent Show

Last Saturday we had a ward talent show and my visiting teaching group had a great time putting together a skit. I don't have any pictures but if you GOOGLE synchronized swimming talent show you can see the general idea of what we did. It was a lot of fun! We wore swim caps and goggles. We drew swimsuits on white t-shirts and put together a fun routine. We performed up on a stage behind a blue tarp that was our pretend water. We had a blast and it was funny for the audience! GOOD TIMES!

Growing up way to FAST!

My little man is growing up way to fast!

This morning as we knelt down to pray before Dallin left for school he wanted to say the prayer and he said "thank you for letting me learn new words in spanish" That really touched my heart and i am so grateful that he has an oppurtunity to go to a dual language school. He loves coming home and teaching us new words that he learns!!!

Happy Birthday Cinnamon & Tica

Dallin and Penny love parties and especially celebrating their stuffed animals birthdays! According to Dallin Cinnamon's birthday is every Monday :) We celebrated this birthday party with a healthy treat. Pears and cottage cheese with Sprinkles :)

Have a DEE - DA - DEE - DA - doe - doe day!

The kids received music cards in the mail from their cousins, Aunts and Grandma. Allison even enjoyed listening to the songs :) THANK YOU!

Labor Day weekend

On labor day we did some house chores with an incentive that when we were done we would take a little road trip to Weiser ID. The kids worked hard and fast! They packed there back packs with books, got their pillows and stuffed animals to take a little nap on the ride and we were off.





Penny actually fell asleep while the rest of us listened to Dallin's favorite song on repeat the whole hour drive.

by WEEZER called Island in the sun

hip hip

When you’re on a holiday, You can’t find the words to say, All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun, We’ll be playing and having fun,And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain

hip hip hip hip

We’ll run away together, We’ll spend some time forever

hip hip
hip hip
hip hip

Listen to the song on U tube, it's a fun song :)

We only spotted one wild animal on the road trip ;)

We enjoyed the afternoon in a small town and the kids thought it was so cool to go to a town with the same name as the song they love.

We LOVE our kids :)

Great Grandma packages

the kids received a few packages this summer and they get so excited to find presents in the mail from great grandma. We are so grateful for her letters and packages. It is her special way of keeping the family together through her greetings sent with love. She never misses sending you something for your birthday. It means a lot! Someday i would like to send good mail like her.

Summer Fun

Daddy's work party - They met Putinia the clown who made D. an alien balloon and Priness P. a heart wand. Dallin got to go to work with his Daddy before school started and he loved it!


Picnics in our backyard under the willow tree, with the summer scent of butterfly bushes, reading books.

A fun vacation to Washington for reunions. Lots of swimming and playing in the jump house and waterslides!

Watching your baby sleep in your arms, it feels so good

As I Watch You Sleep-

© Wanda L. Gossett

I watched a little face sleeping,
Eyelashes fluttering so,
I wondered of the dream you were having,
and if Angles were playing there.

I watched a little face sleeping,
Your little mouth was smiling so,
I hope that you are as happy as me,
holding you in my arms.

I watched a little face sleeping,
making sure of the breath you take,
to watch you breathe and keep you safe,
is all that matters to me.

I watched a little face sleeping,
holding your small hand in mine,
five little fingers on each hand,
as one hangs onto mine.

I watched a little face sleeping,
and as I prayed to myself,
I thank God for letting me
watch a little face sleeping.
