This was Lilly's birthday party with family and friends. I compromised in a way! No you can't really see her because she is being swarmed by all the other kids, but pictures were taken! (Anyone wanting to know what the back of Janae looks like with red hair, she is in the orangish hoodie on the bottom right of the picture! I'll try to get an actual front on one next time.)
Ah, the birthday girl! This was taken on the very day in her new outfit she picked out with Grandma Egbert, who tried really, REALLY hard to talk her out of the crazy pants but to no avail! Our compromise was that we did pretty much all of the activities she wanted to on her birthday but it was just our family-all 4.5 of us! She got to go out with both Grandma's to pick out what she would like for her presents! We went to Evelyn and Roberta's! We went swimming! And we went out to dinner at Leatherby's and shared the LARGE banana split.
Then on Sunday we invited her friend's family over for dinner and cake and ice cream at which time the extended family came to join us! I made her an Ariel cake as requested and rolls for part of dinner. So I think it was a success!

As for Lilly, she is a fun, goofy, smart girl, who randomly bursts in to song, likes reading as long as she isn't forced to do it, loves playing with her cousins, is stubborn and opinionated, and a good big sister among other things! And we wouldn't want her any other way!

And since May is a big birthday month I'll take this moment to say,"Happy Birthday" to Clara, Mark , Derek, Heather, Uncle Fred, Rachel, Emma, Andy, Hana, Aunt Maridean, Matthew, Paige, Azya, Colton and Lizzie! (Sorry people with birthday's in other months, maybe I'll have to do a monthly birthday post.) Hope all of you had or have a wonderful day!

California here we come

By
July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Conversations with Lucy

Lucy-" Mom, Do you know what you can't do?" Mom-"No, what?" Lucy-" You can't put root beer in the microwave. You can't put it in the microwave or else it will explode." Mom- " Is that right?" Lucy- " Yeah, and do you know what else you can't do, you can't put candy in the microwave or else it will explode too. Yeah!"
