Locks of Love

Jane and I went and got out hair trimmed 10 inches today.

Here are the before and after shots:Sweet Jane with LONG hair

(My hair is so thick- this will be great)

My friend Amy S. took pictures at the salon with our ponytails so I'll post those later.Super Cute!
Not sure what face Jane is making, but Kate is sure happy!

James in July

Last night I was alone with James.

B was volunteering at the pageant and the rest of the kids were having a movie night. So we took some pictures:I love these toes- I see a lot of them now he is crawling.Guess who's getting top teeth...

He is getting too big too fast. Sometimes I really wish I could freeze time and just hold this little man forever. A friend of mine wanted to take some pictures of James the other week and these turned out so great:

Prayers For Megan

Hi everyone,
A sweet family in our ward is in need of lots of prayers. Megan and Ryan were Bruce's primary teachers. She delivered her first beautiful baby girl on Monday and was then rushed to a cancer clinic and is battling leukemia. Here is a link to her page:

We love this family and anything you can do is wonderful!

It's HOT but we're staying cool...

Nap in the A/C

Ice cream- lots of ice cream & popsicles

We went hiking and she went down inside a cave.
She got to spend the whole day with her best friend.
She went to the beach.
(and practiced for World Cup- Go Deutschland!)
She opened presents.
She ate butterfly cupcakes.She went to bed.

3 Friends

3 Babies

Lots of silly kids
We are so grateful for fun friends who we went camping with. We went to Allegany State Park and it was so nice to get away from everything and just be with our family. We were talking one time about how beautiful everything was around us and how lucky that we were able to grow up so close to the mountains and canyons and it was all really so wonderful!So that's where the blue eyes come from...
Last night we went to a friend's house for dinner with even more friends then we came home and watched the Washington DC firework celebration on TV. Then I got the kids in PJ's in bed and next we hear this "BOOM!" I opened Jane's blinds and we watched a 20 minute show right outside out window. Awesome!!!
This morning we went to our ward's Flag Ceremony and pancake breakfast. Jane got to read a poem.
Tonight will bring more friends, yummy dinner, and a entire nights sleep :) (I can hope)
Good Luck tomorrow to my super sister Joanna and baby # 3!

Almost 3 ...

This little sweetie will be 3 tomorrow

but we're going camping so it's going to be a 3 day celebration!

Today was also a beautiful day for playing cars
