Kate in Boots

Recently Kate has become attached to a pair of Jeana’s socks. Her attachment is directly influenced by a certain character in Shrek 2, Puss in Boots.

Route 1, Box 242

Okay, that was the address years and years ago. My dad sent me a link to the listing for their home. After 35+ years, my parents have decided to sell their house and move to Utah. I grew up in this house and we never moved. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have to clean up and walk away from something that has been your life for so long. Well, I guess it would look a little like this (thanks Brad for the first 2 pictures):

Easter Dresses for 2007

Jeana wanted to get the girls new dresses for Easter this year, but convinced herself that we would pass on doing so this year in order to stay on our budget. Jeana heard a knock on the door and when she opened it she was given a package from my sister, Michelle, which had two matching Easter dresses in it.

Thanks Michelle! The girls look adorable, of course.

Audrey Practices for Primary

Audrey was asked to do the scripture for primary tomorrow at church. She has been practicing all week for this and today we recorded her doing it. I think she liked watching herself – well, she really like saying it along with the video as she watched.

She was given a theme for the scripture, and we thought that the Third Article of Faith was appropriate for the theme. Audrey can recite many of the articles of faith so this was not a big challenge for her.

Note: There have been some problems reported with this movie file not working. I have tried it on Windows Media Player version 10 and higher and it works just fine. I’ll create a new version that will work for everyone.

Easter Activities at IBM

Last weekend IBM hosted a candy hunt and other activities for children. The event was scheduled to be outside, but the day before the activity the weather forced the event planners to go to plan B – the cafeteria eating area. When the time for the event came, the sun was shining and the weather was great. We let the girls play around outside and walk across the stepping stones by the reflection pool.

Here are some fun pictures.
