Primary Luau

Our Primary

Limbo and Parachute



Our Primary had a Luau. It was the best turnout we've had in a long time. We went door to door, and invited everyone in the ward boundaries. We also had a cricket to do the signs, so they were way cute. Everyone got a lei and sunglasses. It was awsome!

Climbing Trees

Rachel actually climbed her first tree yesterday, by herself. She loves being in the trees in the back yard, but David and I usually have to help her up. When I got out the camera, Katie insisted that she could climb a tree to0, so we helped her up, and took some pictures.

Twins? Almost--but not quite...

People ask me all the time if my Rachel and Katie are twins. They are 20 months apart, and best friends. Way different, though. Rachel, being the first, takes the motherly role often, and organizes everyone in some kind of adventure. Katie is usually satisfied to take a back seat. She is sweet and wants to be included in everything. Like all sisters, they tend to get on each other's nerves, but as you can see in the pictures...they are stuck together like glue!

Easter

Sarah's Dress.

David and his girls on Easter.

Grandma, the expert sewer, with Katie and Rachel.

Katie - would have no other color than pink.

Rachel

I made Easter dresses for the girls. Rachel and Katie picked out their material, then my mom and I put them together. Rachel knows my mom is way better at sewing than I am, so she made sure that grandma worked mostly on hers. Not very flattering for me. But by the time we got those two done, I felt like I could venture on my own. So, Sarah's dress is my doing. Be impressed, I only unpicked twice.

Happy Birthday to Me....Late

I was going to write a blog on my birthday, but I never got around to it. So, this is my birthday picture. I look so much younger and cuter with my cute girls. My brother Joseph told me that when he was 27, he was much older, ha! David had a great birthday party for me. He came home early from work and made dinner. Then he got all the birthday balloons together and set them up outside on a board he'd prepared, and got out the BB guns. It was really fun! The girls would tell me which color to shoot, and most of the time, that's the one I got. Happy birthday to me!

Happy Sarah, Mad Sarah

This is Sarah's new face. She gives often, even if nothing is wrong, and especially when something is wrong. But the two pictures were taken pretty close together, so she does it for her own entertainment also.

Hey Mom, I'm Finished!

I try to have the girls eat until they've finished their plate. I just want them to be full, and if I don't have them eat everything, then an hour later, they're asking for more. So, last week, I gave them their sandwiches and I left to go check on Sarah. I came back and Katie was already done with her food. "Hey, mom, I'm finished!" she said with a sly little grin, then I looked down at her plate and noticed it was an inch off the table. The pictures tell the story, but I did laugh pretty hard at her deceitfulness. We'll have to work on the concept of deceiving, but I did get a laugh at least.
