He did a great job. Patrick did as well. It was a crazy and fun filled day. We also celebrated Claire's birthday on that day as well. It was nice to have so much family and friends over to celebrate both occasions!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/S8Txe4I9mII/AAAAAAAAAOc/o5zm3aJQcLg/s1600/IMG_6622.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459754161048230018" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/S8Txe4I9mII/AAAAAAAAAOc/o5zm3aJQcLg/s320/IMG_6622.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/S8TxNpYF8gI/AAAAAAAAAOU/ReB9NCJ76Uw/s1600/IMG_6620.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459753865027383810" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/S8TxNpYF8gI/AAAAAAAAAOU/ReB9NCJ76Uw/s320/IMG_6620.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04968611438514632073noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603397.post-66968223133664058462009-10-24T21:11:00.001-07:002009-10-24T21:31:01.056-07:00Halloween Party!My good friend Monica invited our family to a Halloween party at the family center. The kids were so excited! They couldn't wait to put on their costumes and show them off!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SuPRatO7ggI/AAAAAAAAAOM/RKlBM5ui-mw/s1600-h/DSC01932.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396387035269005826" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SuPRatO7ggI/AAAAAAAAAOM/RKlBM5ui-mw/s320/DSC01932.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Kevin has a lot of pirate gear, so we decided why not just use what we have a and add a little to it to make him a Pirate for Halloween. The only thing he needed was a shirt. I was just going to go to the DI and find him a long sleeved white shirt and call it good, but I decided to look at their cotume section and, no joke, this shirt was the only Pirate item they had and it was perfect. I found some red material to make the sash and cut up some old church pants and he was good to go!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SuPRP6Wr-gI/AAAAAAAAAOE/kNIWBtfMvhM/s1600-h/DSC01930.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396386849812642306" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SuPRP6Wr-gI/AAAAAAAAAOE/kNIWBtfMvhM/s320/DSC01930.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>Claire, like Kevin with his Pirate stuff, has a lot of Fairy stuff. The only items she did not have was a wand, because she broke her last one doing to much fairy magic, and some sparkly fairy make-up. She loved playing the part of the fairy princess and can't wait to do it again on Halloween!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SuPRCWfGwyI/AAAAAAAAAN8/EkSsG6SnnG0/s1600-h/DSC01929.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396386616845976354" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SuPRCWfGwyI/AAAAAAAAAN8/EkSsG6SnnG0/s320/DSC01929.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>There were all sorts of fun activities for the kids to do at the Party.

He was so excited to enter second grade. He looks so cute in his school uniform! My little man is growing up! A few weeks a go he decided that it was time for him to start reading chapter books. I thought he would start and then just move on, but he proved me wrong. He reads every night before bed and updates me nightly on what chapter he is on!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SpAYEIm-L2I/AAAAAAAAANc/4uTuR0Jo6vw/s1600-h/DSC01922.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372820814762487650" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SpAYEIm-L2I/AAAAAAAAANc/4uTuR0Jo6vw/s320/DSC01922.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SpAX3dtfdTI/AAAAAAAAANU/TlA9Ftc26wc/s1600-h/DSC01924.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372820597088679218" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SpAX3dtfdTI/AAAAAAAAANU/TlA9Ftc26wc/s320/DSC01924.JPG" /></a> Claire had to get herself some attention too!

That is because I forgot to take some, but I wanted to write about it anyway, because it was so fun! Janet had this great idea that the girls should stay behind a few extra hours and go to the outlet shops near Newport. The boys took one car and went back to Silver Lake. Janet, Raven, Claire, and I took our car. We had a girls shopping day. It was so fun! I would have to say the trip home was the most fun. We listened to music and sang our hearts out most of the way back! It was a great end to our vacation in Oregon. Thanks Nat And Jan so much for everything!

They really wanted us to experience Oregon, because it's the best, THE BEST! (right Nat?). Here we are when we first arrived at the Awesome place Jan and Nat were kind enough to set up and pay for us! (thanks again guys). As soon as we got there we all got dressed to go swimming, which is why I'm dressed like this. I don't normally strut around dressed like this, but I do strut! Hehe.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3jwxtOJmI/AAAAAAAAALk/mtXwkN9h91Q/s1600-h/DSC01759.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363193158384363106" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3jwxtOJmI/AAAAAAAAALk/mtXwkN9h91Q/s320/DSC01759.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3jnjnpioI/AAAAAAAAALc/ACPXfpS5pv8/s1600-h/DSC01757.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363192999984073346" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3jnjnpioI/AAAAAAAAALc/ACPXfpS5pv8/s320/DSC01757.JPG" /></a><br />Some pics of our room!<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3jcYJRIWI/AAAAAAAAALU/TuDYmuUQqUI/s1600-h/DSC01756.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363192807925293410" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3jcYJRIWI/AAAAAAAAALU/TuDYmuUQqUI/s320/DSC01756.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3iti0AIyI/AAAAAAAAALM/ut02mLfFnxs/s1600-h/DSC01754.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363192003335037730" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3iti0AIyI/AAAAAAAAALM/ut02mLfFnxs/s320/DSC01754.JPG" /></a> The coast was amazing!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3hw9YxfWI/AAAAAAAAALE/6Nsbcuj7OJ4/s1600-h/DSC01755.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363190962496568674" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3hw9YxfWI/AAAAAAAAALE/6Nsbcuj7OJ4/s320/DSC01755.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3hO4PrDYI/AAAAAAAAAK8/tLbHpzRL7lU/s1600-h/DSC01762.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 333px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363190377000668546" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sm3hO4PrDYI/AAAAAAAAAK8/tLbHpzRL7lU/s320/DSC01762.JPG" /></a><br />Patch and I posing by the coast on the balcony in our room.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04968611438514632073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603397.post-14658987494547738262009-06-15T20:14:00.001-07:002009-06-15T20:21:40.623-07:00Clairey the Fairy!Claire's aunt Tina made her this tutu for christmas this past year. She wore it all the time for a few weeks and then decided she wanted nothing to do with it. I was so happy when she came to me the other day and said she wanted to wear it and wear it she did! She wore it all day. We took the kids to a movie that day and she insisted on wearing it. Patrick thought it was a little weird at first, but she was so adorable! She took her little fairy wand and wanted to wear her pretty purple shoes. She was casting little fairy spells. She was so girly! I'm so glad she isn't all tom boy. She had me worried there for a while when her favorite toy was a motorcycle.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcOW9kKcBI/AAAAAAAAAK0/HzWMstu6BAk/s1600-h/DSC01706.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347758870171906066" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcOW9kKcBI/AAAAAAAAAK0/HzWMstu6BAk/s320/DSC01706.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcOLb7hVgI/AAAAAAAAAKs/A3pCNmGgjsA/s1600-h/DSC01707.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347758672164509186" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcOLb7hVgI/AAAAAAAAAKs/A3pCNmGgjsA/s320/DSC01707.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04968611438514632073noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603397.post-72368076470211030912009-06-15T20:02:00.000-07:002009-06-15T20:13:57.091-07:00Crazy Hair Day!So, the day before Kevin's last day of school they have what is called Crazy Hair Day! It's the one day of the year that the kids get to wear what they want and more importantly do their hair as crazy as they can. At first Kevin wanted nothing to do with crazy hair day. He was too embarassed to try something silly and new, but 5 minutes before school he changed his mind. This little mowhawk was what came of that 5 minutes. I just happened to be helping out at his school that day and I saw all the kids with their crazy hair. I was thinking Kevin's was pretty crazy, but oh no! I was wrong. Turns out it's a big thing at his school (he transfered there last October). One girl had put her hair in lots of little braids and then attached a helium filled balloon to each braid and another boy grew his hair out just so he could do a reverse mowhawk where he shaved all the hair down the middle of his head! It was like being in a Dr. Suess movie, Crazy! I guess I have my work cut out for me nexy year!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcL2NQPchI/AAAAAAAAAKk/PnZCcN5CQGA/s1600-h/DSC01698.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347756108424376850" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcL2NQPchI/AAAAAAAAAKk/PnZCcN5CQGA/s320/DSC01698.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcLtSPoMVI/AAAAAAAAAKc/7o_sos_YoJA/s1600-h/DSC01699.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347755955145158994" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcLtSPoMVI/AAAAAAAAAKc/7o_sos_YoJA/s320/DSC01699.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcLlCqsc8I/AAAAAAAAAKU/_a08sUvryI8/s1600-h/DSC01696.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347755813524763586" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcLlCqsc8I/AAAAAAAAAKU/_a08sUvryI8/s320/DSC01696.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04968611438514632073noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603397.post-20617247341350486572009-06-15T19:45:00.001-07:002009-06-15T20:02:38.420-07:00Bear Lake!<u><span style="color:#0000ff;"></span></u>We went to Bear Lake a few weeks ago for Memorial Day weekend. We all needed to get away. It was fun! Here we all are at the beach! It wasn't very sunny, but it was still fun just the same. Kevin and Claire went crazy picking up and collecting shells. We also got to spend some time with Patrick's grandparents who live up in Garden City during the summer. They really enjoyed having Kevin and Claire around to entertain them! It was a great little trip away from home!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcIgML0vaI/AAAAAAAAAKM/FJArv8d7Byc/s1600-h/DSC01677.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347752431645408674" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcIgML0vaI/AAAAAAAAAKM/FJArv8d7Byc/s320/DSC01677.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcIQAPtBBI/AAAAAAAAAKE/e80u5I4tDiQ/s1600-h/DSC01689.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347752153562547218" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcIQAPtBBI/AAAAAAAAAKE/e80u5I4tDiQ/s320/DSC01689.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcIBbngKRI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/G4IDlpClpy0/s1600-h/DSC01672.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347751903212087570" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcIBbngKRI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/G4IDlpClpy0/s320/DSC01672.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcH3gCNovI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/keregBHUbhc/s1600-h/DSC01673.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347751732599169778" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcH3gCNovI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/keregBHUbhc/s320/DSC01673.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcHkgWHWyI/AAAAAAAAAJs/Bh15EIxAdGQ/s1600-h/DSC01678.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347751406265129762" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SjcHkgWHWyI/AAAAAAAAAJs/Bh15EIxAdGQ/s320/DSC01678.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04968611438514632073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603397.post-18322161910173198612009-05-19T17:59:00.001-07:002009-05-19T18:15:46.814-07:00Minnie Golf!Patch and I took the kids to play minnie golf this past saturday.

Aside from old Halloween pictures I have never seen or been able to get Patrick to dress in costume. I've always wanted him to cut loose and have a little fun, but it's just not his thing. I have learned to accept that over the years, so you can imagine my suprise when he told me about a month ago that he had to dress in costume for a young men/young women activity. For those of you who don't know, Patrick is in the young men presidency in our ward. The young men and young women decided to do a combined activity where they put on a live version of the game clue. Patrick was originally supposed to be a character that was more in the background and he had very little lines. Well...When he came home with the script it said he was to be the Inspector! On top of that he noticed that the role of the Inspector had the most lines. You can imagine his stress! Again, those of you who know my husband know that he is not a social person. He likes to keep to himself. Well...Patrick decided to try and make the most of this new development and went full out with the costume! I was so proud of him for stepping out of his shell for the night! He is an amazing, funny, and creative man and I'm glad others got to see<br />a side of him that only I see! Of course I had to get pictures! Patrick did grumble a little, but ultimately agreed to let me take them. In return I let him get pictures of me with his moustache and hat....and Of course the kids wanted in on the action, so we made it a family affair! I love my husband very much and I know he had way more fun then he'd like to admit! I love you babe!<br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04968611438514632073noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603397.post-63580742877427419182009-04-06T15:52:00.001-07:002009-04-06T16:00:23.022-07:00Sunday Stroll!Sunday afternoon, after the 10:00 session of Conferance, Patrick and I decided to take the kids out for a walk. It was such a nice day (Finally) and the kids have been itching to go outside all winter. We had so much fun just hanging out and watching the kids play. I love this time of year, because it's not too hot and the bugs haven't quite comeout yet. I hate bugs!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SdqIJbipT8I/AAAAAAAAAIE/neQip0J735o/s1600-h/DSC01490.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321715605284933570" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SdqIJbipT8I/AAAAAAAAAIE/neQip0J735o/s320/DSC01490.JPG" /></a> I love when my kids are getting along, even if it is for the sake of a picture!<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SdqH-zwYIlI/AAAAAAAAAH8/W-2qwLQBhmg/s1600-h/DSC01485.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321715422806418002" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SdqH-zwYIlI/AAAAAAAAAH8/W-2qwLQBhmg/s320/DSC01485.JPG" /></a> That man with my kids sure is sexy1<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SdqH08SBMRI/AAAAAAAAAH0/FlFQ97ILuIU/s1600-h/DSC01486.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321715253296312594" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SdqH08SBMRI/AAAAAAAAAH0/FlFQ97ILuIU/s320/DSC01486.JPG" /></a><br />What a Nerd!<br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04968611438514632073noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603397.post-75236444299855154082009-03-27T20:36:00.001-07:002009-03-27T20:55:29.571-07:00My Creative Son!Kevin loves to draw and one day, while I was gone visiting family with Claire, Patrick took Kevin to work with him for a few minutes. Weeks later he was cleaning out his desk when he came across these drawings. He brought them home to show me, because he thought they were funny and cool.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sc2cDNU9QkI/AAAAAAAAAHM/2EsSMgG__tg/s1600-h/DSC01424.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318078313925526082" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/Sc2cDNU9QkI/AAAAAAAAAHM/2EsSMgG__tg/s320/DSC01424.JPG" /></a> In this one Kevin is jumping from building to building.

Thier son, Isaac is Kevin's best friend. He wrote this special birthday note to kevin all by himself. He had no help coming up with the idea (although I think his parents said he is really into Harry Potter). I think it is so funny and thought I'd share it with you all! It says " dear kevin your present lies in the vault of secrets and dreams from your best friend to kevin".<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/ScFlD_ys-SI/AAAAAAAAAG0/YGsp9VWNmwc/s1600-h/DSC01419.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314640154612005154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/ScFlD_ys-SI/AAAAAAAAAG0/YGsp9VWNmwc/s320/DSC01419.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Here is Claire thinking she needs to be the center of attention.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/ScFk2Oiv4RI/AAAAAAAAAGs/8PrcPbTKEYU/s1600-h/DSC01413.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314639918053450002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/ScFk2Oiv4RI/AAAAAAAAAGs/8PrcPbTKEYU/s320/DSC01413.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/ScFkqvazDPI/AAAAAAAAAGk/mOuzYlanBnY/s1600-h/DSC01412.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314639720720043250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/ScFkqvazDPI/AAAAAAAAAGk/mOuzYlanBnY/s320/DSC01412.JPG" border="0" /></a> And Here is the adorable 7 year old birthday boy himself!<br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04968611438514632073noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603397.post-11087700201552999392008-10-19T18:28:00.000-07:002008-10-19T18:46:55.216-07:00Family Hike!We recently took a family hike up Logan Canyon. Here are some pics of the kids on that hike.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvgtpZp2UI/AAAAAAAAAEk/H8OqszU-dDQ/s1600-h/DSC01138.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259044064697375042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvgtpZp2UI/AAAAAAAAAEk/H8OqszU-dDQ/s320/DSC01138.JPG" border="0" /></a> Kevin was scared of everything (I mean everything). He didn't want to walk too close to the plants because there might be bugs that jump out or snakes that sneak up. He didn't want to get close to the river because heaven forbid he fall in. However, he did find this walking stick to protect him. As scared as he gets you gotta love the kid!<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvgHjKId3I/AAAAAAAAAEc/erkiMk3xImM/s1600-h/DSC01129.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259043410186631026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvgHjKId3I/AAAAAAAAAEc/erkiMk3xImM/s320/DSC01129.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is his brave boy stance before the hike started. Hey, at least he tries!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvfwqth0dI/AAAAAAAAAEU/yBaBFWRUaog/s1600-h/DSC01126.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259043017077150162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvfwqth0dI/AAAAAAAAAEU/yBaBFWRUaog/s320/DSC01126.JPG" border="0" /></a> Claire was the exact opposite. She wanted to wander off and explore. If there was a bug she wanted to touch it. If we were near the water she wanted to go in it. Her and Kevin kind of balance eachother out.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvfa9MIXSI/AAAAAAAAAEM/tjyHTpT1dXY/s1600-h/DSC01137.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259042644080221474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvfa9MIXSI/AAAAAAAAAEM/tjyHTpT1dXY/s320/DSC01137.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Here is Claire with her walking stick. She actually used this to walk with. She didn't play with it at all, she just used it to walk. She is serious about her hiking. <br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04968611438514632073noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603397.post-48787368678411185712008-10-19T18:21:00.000-07:002008-10-19T18:28:25.624-07:00Great Grandma!!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvd-oyflAI/AAAAAAAAAEE/QMikRa3IKMI/s1600-h/DSC01030.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259041058056016898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvd-oyflAI/AAAAAAAAAEE/QMikRa3IKMI/s320/DSC01030.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvdjNr4skI/AAAAAAAAAD8/anba3CARDyA/s1600-h/DSC01035.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259040586924077634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILRszEXZ9ZU/SPvdjNr4skI/AAAAAAAAAD8/anba3CARDyA/s320/DSC01035.JPG" border="0" /></a> For those of you who don't know, Claire loves her great grandma.

I couldn't find any of Claire's clothes in her room so I checked the laundry room and this is what I found. Now if I had found her asleep then that would be an eerie connection to my falling asleep in the laundry basket pics.
