To: Ather From:LoriAnne & Robyn

Happy Birthday Ather! The girls insisted on making a chocolate cake for your birthday! It was YUMMY! LoriAnne kept asking when you were coming over and was upset that we ate your cake without you!

Family "FUN" Week

I am finally getting around to blogging about our Family Week last week. I forgot to mention in my earlier blog that one of Dave's brothers, his wife, and their 4 boys were coming to visit last week. We all had a GREAT time! We started the week off by going to the zoo.



Then on Tuesday we went to the Discovery Center Museum in Murfreesboro. We were there for 4 hours and the kids would of stayed longer if we let them.



On Wednesay we went to Jump Zone. The kids played on the bouncers for 3 hours. I thought they would of all wanted to come home and take naps. Instead they put their swim suits on and went swimming...awwww to be a kid again and have their energy!



I forgot my camera on Thursday but we went to the park and Robyn got to help make homemade pizza with her Aunt and Cousin. The pizza was so YUMMY! I think I may have to try to make some this weekend!

On Friday I watched the kids for a couple of hours so their mom and dad could go to the Temple. The kids had a picnic outside and played on the swing set and trampoline. (Mikey, Jonathan, & the baby were all asleep when I took this picture).

We had 8 kids here (ages 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 1/2, 2, 1, 2 months) for the week and I think they all did great! We had a wonderful time together and are looking forward to getting together again! Thanks for making the trip to see us...it was nice to have visitors!

Happy B-day Auntie D!!!!!

1 week Blogging Sebatical...

I will be on a 1 week blogging sebatical. Tomorrow is the first day of what our Stake calls "Family Week". We are all given a pamphlet with ideas and suggestions on what to do as a family for the week. So we have been asked to not use the computers (at home...work is ok) & other things that would take away from spending time with the family. I will have lots of things to post in a week. For now I have posted the below 2 posts. Have a great week! I am looking forward to all the fun things we will be doing this week!

Is it a HAT or a BOWL?!

I don't think I need to say much...this picture says it all! This is the 3rd time Jonathan did this. He seems to enjoy wearing his food too!

Around the World Stake Primary Activity

Today our Stake had a Primary Activity. They traveled around the world to many different countries. First, they had these chairs set up in the cultural hall and had it set up so it was like the kids were on a real plane.

This is not a very good picture of the plane but it at least gives you an idea of what it looked like. There were multiple rooms set up as different countries. First we went to India, then China, London, Brazil, Hawaii, Argentina, etc. The kids tried a special food from each country and they learned a little bit about each country too.

I tried to get a picture of the kids in front of this display after the activity was over but they were all VERY tired so the only way I got a picture is Sophia jumping in with them (THANK YOU SOPHIA)!

A Special Post for "AUNTIE D"

This post is special for "Auntie D" ...and whoever else wants to see Jonathan walking. He is growing up soooooooo fast. I couldn't decide which video clip to use so you get both :)
