And the Result Is....

It looks like we will be inviting another cute boy into our family. Although never feel quite certain until I see his little face and hold him in my arms.

A Fulfilled Dream

My parents took me on a little trip and fulfilled one of my wishes of things to see in Texas. We were lucky to see the temple. The grounds are beautiful and the temple is amazing. There is such a peace throughout the whole grounds.

My last wish was to see the Gulf of Mexico. I have only seen the Pacific Ocean, granted it was from both sides of the Pacific Ocean. It was a beautiful and perfect day to stop and see the Gulf. We loved seeing the pelicans flying around as well. The children explored the shells. Now to explore other areas.

Laughs

I was doing some cleaning while the children played together when I noticed Benjamin was out of sight. I walked around the corner to hear him laughing in the hallway looking at a doorknob. I realized, he noticed he could see himself in the doorknob. I tried to capture a bit of it, when David decided to join too:



I love seeing what the children find as funny. Who would have thought the doorknobs could be so entertaining.

June Pictures

We've added pictures from our grand Texas adventures (click here).

Sunday Best

This picture made me laugh. Every Sunday we ask David to change out of his church-going clothe and put on other nice Sunday clothes (that are easier to clean). A few Sundays ago I went to David's room to see if he was changing and setting his clothes away nicely... This is what I saw. He didn't put them away, but he lay them out so nicely, tie and all.

Endless Fun

Every now and then we stop by the Library and trade our bag of books for more book and the children have weeks worth of fun reading them. Actually, they have a day or two worth of fun reading them, then rereading them the rest of the week we keep them.

I have found when I am struggling with the children being a little too wild for my sanity I sit down on the couch and say, "Who wants to read with me?" Then all three will run and find a book they want and we will sit and read for as long as each of us can handle. It is a nice quiet time activity and gives a bit of variety. My children love books.

Even our little one can sit and listen through a stack of books. I just need to get used to the piles of books I tend to find all over now...

Button Counting

While helping the children get dressed for church this morning, this fun song popped into my head. We sung it so much before church, that it became quite stuck in our minds. The children and I decided to put this little film together because we loved the song so much:

Who knew buttons could be such fun?
