Here's our cute baby the day before her 6 month mark. She is such a good baby! Kathryn is working on sitting up still, but is getting better. She is finally sleeping through the night and has mastered rolling over.... although, she hates being on her stomach, so it makes her mad when she rolls over. She is still very persistent on sucking her thumb. I put one of Natali's socks on her hands, so it goes all the way up her arm. Then I stuff it into her jammies and she will pull and scream until she gets it off, by herself, just to get to her thumb! We are all(even the kids) on a constant watch and we pull it out any time she sneeks it into her mouth.... We will win!

So here are the updated photos of the house.... I think there has been some progress! We are currently getting ready to pour the driveway and sidewalk, then I can put up the rock on the front of the house.

These are a few pictures of the kids over Labor Day....Wow, I am really really behind!! They had so much fun digging for crystals, swimming, going to the rodeo, and getting four bags of candy at the parade!

Here is Kyle's prize winning mustache. Katie was so thankful when the contest was over and Kyle shaved it off!

Even these Pics are old, the one of the girls was our first breakfast in our new home... Emily made sure to leave the first spilled milk stain too!

Long time, no see

It has been so long since I have used this blog, that I actually forgot my own Blog web page! I was really surprised to see that the last picture we put up of our house was the basement floor! We have so much more done now! I'll put on the pics!

We have a basement floor!

This is much more like it!

Digging our basement this way may take a while!

Here is our mailbox at our lot! We might not have a house yet, but at least we can get mail! 

Another thought...

I was looking through my cassette tapes (yes, I still use them) and I realized I don't: own an iPOD, cell phone, HD t.v., blackberry, high speed internet, anything Prada, or know how to text, and yet I am still alive and well. I guess life can still be simple.

Thought for the Day

I've been thinking about my life and what kind of person I am.  What kind of legacy am I leaving? Am I a good example to my kids? What can I do to be a better member of my community? If you have any suggestions, I am ready to listen. I believe we have to stop and take a long hard look at ourselves and make changes.  Food for thought.

You know you are tired if you can fall asleep mid-drink! 

Kathryn and the battle of the big bow....the bow won! But isn't she cute?!

Kathryn Paige...another spot of joy in our family! At 8 lbs. 8 0z. she was a big spot!

What adorable girls! This was our first stop when we arrived back in Idaho Falls. The kids also got to go to the Rexburg Temple open house and they were so excited to go in the Temple.
