Amazing.

We had an amazing time in St.George for a week. 
We went to Pahrump to celebrate Trevor's dad's wedding~
it was so nice to be with all of his siblings for that! 
We were so grateful that we could make it down there for such an important event.
We were able to visit with some of our favorite people. 
Like P.J. and McKenna. 
They have one talented little boy: he can bend in half with no problem at all. 
And their other boy is about the most polite kid ever!
Candice and Quinn surprised everyone with a trip down to St. George also!
Except they didn't surprise me and Trevor cause we already knew~ it's so cool to be in "the know"...
And we found out that Candice and McKenna are pregnant!
That makes 3 on the Barwick side and 3 on the Haslem side...
holy moly.. that's a lot of babies.
 Joshua turned 5 while we were there. 
(I'm secretly crying inside but don't tell Trevor that I still carry him around..I need to stop that, I know.)
Check out my awesome cake:
 Yep, I free handed that. 
It was pretty sweet despite all the laughter from those watching....
I love Joshua. 
He has brought so much joy to our life.
















My mom and dad were so generous to us while we were there. 
We ate lots of yummy food, talked a lot, and had a grand time...
And now that we're home, there's lots of catching up to do. 
Carl got neutered today...so sad. 
He's half a man now.
And I have yet to get my to do list done.
Hopefully I'll have it done tomorrow although there will be about 5 more things added to it, I'm sure...

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...
