Playing together ................

Kirsten, Samantha, and Lexi doing their favorite thing when ever they are together.........playing POLLY POCKETS!!

The four little girls posing for a cute photo with their babies.

Marin was having a great time with her baby cousin Landon.

Unfortunately, Landon wasn't having a good a time.........he wanted his mommy!

One of the kids took this picture........Mondel is being weird, Landon is crying, and I'm looking at someone. I'm not sure why I included this picture, but I do like the way it captured Mondel in a new light that not everyone gets to see.

Uncle Jeremiah is always the fun one.........agreeing to jump on the trampoline with the kids.

Team work.........Girl Power......sometimes that is what you need to get it done.

Emma kept trying to play with Landon, but he wasn't too sure about that!

Lessons from a BIG sister....................

I was driving Kirsten and Emma over to a friends to go swimming. Emma was a little upset about going because, as she says she doesn't want the "practice". We have been working on teach the two girls how to swim. Kirsten has mastered it and as her reward got a swimming baby doll.

So, as we are driving to the pool Emma is fussing saying no practice, no swimming baby.....and she just keeps repeating this over and over again.

Kirsten starts talking to her and says, "Don't worry Emma the Holy Ghost will help you." Emma says, "He'll be there?"
Kirsten responds and says, "Well.....you can't see him he is invisible and he lives in Heaven with Heavenly Father. But he will help you Emma cause he helped me."

Breakfast for Dinner

Up All Night Soccer Tournament

Mondel was able to participate in an up all night soccer tournament. His team United Medical played four games starting at 6:30pm on Friday and ending around 6:30am the next morning. He had a great time and needless to say he was VERY tired when he got home Saturday morning. Preston and Marin were still in Arizona so I took Kirsten and Emma with me to go watch the games. We lasted until around 10:45pm Friday night, then it was time for us to go home and go to bed.

Marin is 8...................

Marin is now officially 8 years old.

I took her to get her ears pierced and she was so brave.

She picked out the cutest sparkle flower earrings.
