Happy Birthday Rebekah!
Happy Birthday to my little girl! I can hardly believe this beautiful young lady is already 10 years old! Rebekah is such a blessing and an example in our family. She has a tender heart and helps us to keep our home a place where peace comes first and the promptings of the Holy Ghost can be heard. She lovingly plays with and teachers her younger brothers and sisters and shares a warmth and love for each of them in their own unique way. Rebekah is smart and thoughtful, often surprising me with the depth and forward thinking she displays in her questions and our conversations. She is a hard worker, always taking the initiative to take care of her responsibilities at school, home, and church. She is mature beyond her years. Rebekah teaches and stretches me every day on how to become a better mother. I am so grateful for Rebekah and for her in our family. I couldn't have asked for a better daughter or friend. I love...
1st Pinewood Durby
We made it through our first Pinewood Durby with the Cub Scouts. Loyd was excited to race his hot pink car he made with Dustin. We didn't break through the first elimination rounds, but we did enjoy some yummy treats and fun friends.
Good Oral Hygiene
We believe in teaching our children from a very young age to practice good oral hygiene. Our new electric toothbrushes from the Easter Bunny seem to have really driven this message home for Baby O. :)
Baby Onslow
After a mid-Church diaper emergency Baby Owen had to ditch his onesie and just wear his cute little sweater vest. His improvised look kept pinging my mind, reminding me of something, but I couldn't say what. Then, all of a sudden, it hit me. Baby O looked like the character Onslow, from Keeping Up appearances! It was too funny!
We're coming with you!
After an action packed 10 days, and lots and lots of fun with Grandma and Grandpa P, the kids all decided they were going to head back to Utah with them in their car. Maeve was especially ready for the "long car ride!" to their house in Utah. It's too bad we still have school, or we might all have piled in and followed them home. :) We have a very special Grandma and Grandpa. We are so grateful they could come for Loyd's baptism and spend Easter and General Conference with us. It was a special trip for us! We love you Grandma P and Papa Goober!
