Joshua leading....

Joshua loves to lead the music during Family Home Evening and he is just so cute doing it. I had a video of him doing it but blogger wont upload it so you will just have to imagine it!

Everything is going really good for us. The kids start school in a week. Stephen will be in Kindergarten and then it will be just me and joshua at home. It makes me very sad.... :(

The girls are so excited to be starting. This summer has gone by way too fast. But Im ready for fall to start. Candice and Quinn will be living here in about 2 weeks and I am so dang excited!!!!! I get to be there for the birth and all the fun that comes before and after that!

Trevor is, right now, all decked out in a shotgun bullet pouch, goggles and his shotgun on his arm, practicing for a shoot-out he has tomorrow. It is a competition but he will do just fine and we will be there to watch! He actually looks a little silly right now. He is going to be so mad that I am writing this....

I have been reading some fantastic books thanks to my awesome sis in law, jenee. She recommended a bunch and I have been, slowly, getting through them. Right now,I am reading The Undaunted by Gerald Lund and I love it. If you are a Work and the Glory fan, I would highly suggest this book. It is only one very long book, not a series.

Annas doing great in gymnastics. They will really up their training this fall. Although I am thinking of putting her in a different gym here in town. Right now it takes about 25 minutes to get her there. But this other one is just 2 minutes from our house. The only problem is that she would have to wait until next year to compete. So I am not sure yet what to do. She loves it though, I just wish they would push her to progress a little faster. Oh well. Its all about fun, right?

Emily has a cavity. Poor thing is terrified of going in to get it filled. She has to go in next Thursday and I told her that if she doesn't let them give her a numbing shot in her gum, they would have to put her to sleep. Hopefully that scare tactic helps.

I am in the process of painting the upstairs right now. I have the hallway and the girls room all done but still have to do the bathrooms and the two other bedrooms. Painting is a ton of work... ugh.

That is all that is new with us. I apologize if I have bored you......We miss you all and hope we get to see you really really soon.

Lots and lots of love!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
