A Little Fun

The lame things I do in the little free time I have, but they do bring me so much joy. These are my new desk top icons that are great! I love when they pop up. They make me smile.

Back to School

The kids had a great first day of school. Valencia is excited to apply for her job at school. She wants aquarium first, cafe second or greenhouse third. Vincent loves his teacher. I am excited for them to be back in school. It will be quiet around here. Vaya will keep me company though.

New Life

I have been to the same hospital two times since I have had Vaya, to welcome new little spirits to the world. The newest being Vaya's new bff.

The many goings on at our home

Our table got this huge scratch on it in one of our many moves. I wasn't to worried about it because I had this great idea. The table had been in storage for the last 4 years since we have lived in other peoples homes (I am so glad to be in our own home) so I had not seen it in a long time. I was excited to get it all fixed up. I finally was able to just yesterday. I still need to go through more pictures but I am way excited. If you want to be on the table of fame send me a picture so the kids can get to know your faces, especially if you are a relative in any way. I am excited to play I SPY with the kids.

Before

 After

Valencia and Amia are always doing some sort of craft. Here is a work in progress. It is a house plus a tree house! They will sit for hours and do stuff like this. I will put up a picture when they have finally finished.

We went to the farmers market the other day. The kids really enjoyed it. I saw the bouquets of flowers and thought that would look great on the little front table we have, it needs something. I love the bright colors.

The kids asked me to play this flour game. I was glad I asked them to do it outside after I found these pictures on the camera.

Here is Vaya all ready for  her big introduction to Clint's coworkers. They had a baby shower for her and for another lady that is due in Oct with a boy. I was fun to see some of them I hadn't seen in a while and to meet the others. They had it in the lobby of the Fox Theater. It's kid of a cool place to have a baby shower.  I love that place it is gorgeous.  I let the kids loose with the camera and this is what they came up with.

Family Picture

We just moved into a new ward at church and we were asked to provide a family picture for the ward newsletter. We haven't taken a family picture in about three years. So I guess this gave me the kick I needed to get one done. So after church Becca came over and got a great picture of us. I do love our broken falling down fence for this reason, it is great for pictures.

Hockey

OK so Clint has been playing hockey for almost a year now and I had never seen him play. His games were at 10 at night, which made it hard to go see. Then he would do drop-in during the week so I wouldn't see him then either. So the other day I took the kids up to watch their dad. I really wasn't sure if I believed that he really went to play hockey. I thought why in the world would you want to play hockey. So I went to see and he really does. He plays goalie and loves it. I would die going up and down up and down. I think that is why he has such nice legs. So here he is whoopin' it up on the ice.

This one shows it really is him in all that gear!

Our True Identity

I know I am always putting p these messages, but they always are so good and I want all of you to be able to see them. They lift me up . They come when I need them. I love my Savior.

Sleepy Baby!

She loves to sleep all day and keep us up all night. She is getting a little better, so I can at least function during the day. I set her down on the couch the other day and Clint said "You have got to get some pictures." This is what I got. I tried today to have her photo shoot but she was wide awake and would get so bummed if I tried to squish her up in those cute poses. I will try again tomorrow and the next if I need to.
