ballet recital

Abree is standing next to our garden. We have gotten broccoli so far.

Here are two friends that had babies right after I did. We got together for a playdate.

Brenna with grandma.


Abree decided to put sunscreen on herself.





























Sebrina had her ballet recital last Saturday and she was a beautiful ballerina. The kids have been out of school for one week now and Brenna is two months old on Wednesday. Swimming lessons start tomorrow. Brenna with great grandma Chambers on the day of her blessing.

lightning again?

We were holding our breath last night that lightning would not strike in the same place twice. Just to be safe we unplugged the computer and the modem so that it would not go through there. I did not do the dishes just in case since the dishwasher was fried because it was running last time we got struck. The storm mostly missed us. Our neighbors however had their trampoline lifted right over their fence and land upside down on their basketball hoop from a burst of wind. Ken and another neighbor took it back up on their lawn since they were not home. There could be another storm coming in the next couple of days so hopefully no one gets struck.
Brenna is also six weeks now. She is getting so big and starting to smile. I am trying to get her to smile for a picture. She pulled a fast one on Ken on Sunday while he was in his church clothes. He was changing Brenna's diaper and she decided that she needed to go to the bathroom so she squirted Ken with poop all over his tie. She did not stop there. She also got the dresser that is probably three feet away, the bedspread, and the floor. Needless to say that a little cleaning had to be done on the Sabbath since mustard was not the desired color of the carpet. Of course this happened when we were already crunched for time in trying to get dinner and be part of a baptism for our old neighbor. We introduced her to the church 1 1/2 years ago and she was baptized on Sunday by Ken. I survived giving a talk on baptism. We are so excited for her choice to become a member. I couldn't help thinking that in a few months I will be at Conner and Cadin's baptism's. They are growing up way too fast.
Abree keeps us on our toes. She will sneak out the door and go to the back to the trampoline or to the swimming pool now. She loves to sing. She sings " I Love you" over and over and she has never seen Barney. She also sings "Tinkle Tinkle little star"
