Stuff

Hello. Its been a while since I last blogged so I figured it was time. Lots has happened. Birthdays, races, Heidi learning to push herself all over in the walker, awesome book signings at the store, flooding neighborhoods (we got missed)... oh, and I was made 1st Counselor in the Primary!  We also learned a little about prayer today.

Not to get into specifics, we misplaced a rather large chunk of money. I KNEW where I set it and it wasn't there later.  We looked through the whole house, cleaned out the toy room (big mess which needed done anyway) and then prayed about finding it.  I went down to tuck my 4 year old into bed and I found a $10 bill and a $5 bill in his bed.  Here's the conversation that followed:

Me: Uh, where did this come from? I need to know where the rest is!
Son: .......... ok.

He pulled back his pillow and it was all there - except the bag it came in. That, of course, was under his blanket.

Son: Look Mom! The money bag!

He was so proud of himself for 'finding it.'   Silly boy.  Anyway, here are some fun pictures that have been taken recently.  There are birthday pictures amongst them for all 7 of us (Heidi hasn't had a birthday yet so you got her newborn pictures earlier!) since I missed blogging about them all! The photos are in no particular order.

This picture is after trying to juggle forks, napkins, treat bags, my breakfast and a glass of juice while pushing an umbrella stroller on the grass. I hit a bump with the stroller,  my pancake fell on Heidi's head, and I laughed hysterically. My family couldn't figure out why when I got over and sat by them until they saw Heidi - and pictures were taken... What did Heidi do? Nothing. She just took it. What a "sweetie-pie".

Heidi's first time with cereal! She did great and loved it.  She ate most of it!

 

                                    

Don't ask because I don't want to know...

This is "Betty Girl", our newest family member that Andy got from his aunt, cousins, Grandpa and Grandma. She is much loved!

Ashley is my little princess! She got this photo taken during Pony Express Days at the park.

Heidi got 3rd in the baby contest! She was in the 3-6 month category - having turned 3 months old that day! She laughed and talked and cooed. It was so much fun!

       

Heidi's first time swimming! We went to St George in June and had a great time there. Heidi loved the water and I LOVED her new swimming suit!

We combined a few birthdays for this cake - which was YUMMY! Happy Birthday to everyone!

And now its time for bed. Good night!
