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!

Picking beautiful flowers

loving our cheeky baby,


playing with friends and going to the park almost everyday for sack lunch!!!


bugs bunny and batman ice cream from the ice cream man!

summer time flew by, it was a simple summer filled with great memories!

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.

Good Day Sunshine

The Beatles Lyrics to 'good day sunshine' is on repeat in my head today :)

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day

GOOD DAY SUNSHINE!

Smiley faces where ever we go!

Whether Dallin is eating cereal, cheese, any type of food, coloring or in the outdoors there is always a smile to be found MADE by Dallin!

and check out this cuteness below

this little bundle of joy always makes us smile :)

First Day of Kindergarten

My big boy was so brave this morning! He was a little nervous but had no problem giving hugs and saying good bye to us, no tears, just excitement! Daddy stayed home for the big day and we started the morning with a yummy family breakfast, with the request for bacon from Dallin :) He was cheerful this morning and ready to begin this new chapter in his life of starting school!!

He gave us all love notes this morning! Notice the last picture of him and his chubby baby sister :) He sure does love his sisters! He is the best big brother!

Back to School Party

Time to Parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty!!

Penny got all dressed up and was ready to play. She played with the boys for a little bit and then she went to a girlfriends house and had a tea party with just girls :)

The boys had a great time riding bikes

I traced there bodies with side walk chalk and they had fun coloring themselves in.

HOT DOGS and GREEN ALIEN JUICE

They played tag and played with water ballons & water guns

BUS COOKIE

and Baby Allison watching the boys eat there treats wishing she could have some :)

GOOD TIMES!

School Bus :)

Dallin is starting Kindergarten August 25th! Yesterday he met his teacher and toured his school. We went to the music room, gym, library, he played on the playground and he is excited to start. He wants to ride the bus, so that is going to be a big highlight for him. They had a bus for the kids to go inside yesterday, so he has picked out where he wants to sit and he is ready and waiting for his big day to come.

Tomorrow we are having a BACK TO SCHOOL PARTY for D. and five other friends. We will have this bus cookie for a treat and let the kids run wild and have lots of fun!!

It is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us

"YOU MAKE ME SO VERY HAPPY, I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE"
(happy song lyrics i like to sing to my baby girl)

Fried Green Tomatoes

Last night i got together with some church gals and we made homemade salsa - yummy! and i tried a fried green tomato for the first time - Mmmm Mmmm good!

Another Yummy to the Tummy idea for you is a recipe for ---

CAKE MIX COOKIES

You can use any type of cake mix, just add these few ingredients -
2 eggs, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 c. brown sugar, 1/2 c. oil Bake @ 350 for 10 minutes

The other night i used a lemon cake mix and added white chocolate chips to the batch (it was muy bien), you can even do a chocolate cake mix with mint chips or peanutbutter chips, the rainbow chip cake mix is excellent etc. whatever your taste buds desire!

Experiment and Enjoy!
