Lily's 9th Birthday

Lily's birthday was so fun this year. She had a camping theme and we bought flashlights and glow necklaces for all the girls. She is growing so fast and even thought of the idea for her own cake. Her favorite Reese Peanut Butter Cups on top of chocolate cup cakes with white frosting. They had a water fight, cooked hot dogs on the fire pit and finished off the night with roasting marshmallows. Only Lily, Chloe and Kat- lily's BFF slept in the tent. At about 4 am a big storm hit so I went out side to check on them and they were fast asleep through the loudest thunder I have ever heard :) I went back out at 6am and Lily was standing up in the middle of the tent. I woke the others up and had them run inside. :) Happy Birthday Lily!

Bishops Store House

I was able to take Lily and Chloe to the Bishops Store House to do service today. They loved it and worked really hard. It's great to be able to have the opportunity to do service for those in need. I hope they grow up to love doing service for others!

I remember going to the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen with my Dad when I was a teenager or back from school and helping make sandwiches and serving it to those in need. Pick Pears at the Church Pear Farm with my youth group. These are some of my greatest memories.

I have always thought doing service for others was fun and never a burden. Lily and Chloe had such a great time today. Lily said " Mom this is fun can we come every day" I wish we could.

FHE

I went to Lily's open house and this is a picture she had up on the wall for display!! Yeah! It's working they do hear me even when they fight through FHE and tell me it's boring! They love Family Home Evening :)

Chloe's Room

Chloe picked out the colors for her bedroom and we picked out a design together. I think it turned out pretty well now all we need is for Grandma to make her a matching quilt - hint hint. LOL.

Ouch!! Poor Sadie

Sadie was twirling fell and hit her head on the TV stand. She was a mess. Luckily I have great neighbors and friends. My neighbor picked the girls up from school and my friend drove us to BAMC to get Alan to help. We were in the ED for 7 hours and that's with my husband being the DR. They had to knock her out it was a little scary seeing her like that but much better than seeing her strapped down and screaming. She is much better now. Daddy took the stitches out at home. She was not happy and told me "Daddy cut me" All is forgiven now and she is back to twirling.

Dentist

Sadie had her first trip to the Dentist. Her big sisters where such good examples that she had no problem!
