Brigham's Blessing

I am so thankful for all the great support we had for Brigham's blessing this week. We took up half of the middle aisles in sacrament meeting. Scott did a great job (although he gets terribly nervous) and we had a great lunch afterward and got to visit with everyone. It was an excellent day!
I wasn't so sure that I loved boy blessing clothes but after having him in his, I have to admit that they are pretty darling. It was so much fun to have a little boy get blessed for a change.
Isn't he such a doll? I'm pretty whooped!

My Amazing Husband

Scott ran the St. George Marathon for the 2nd time. I think he is amazing because he never trains more than 5 miles. He just heads out there and runs a marathon. He got 4:37, beating his time last year. I am so thankful for him and proud of this awesome accomplishment.

Hero Hunt

This is a terrible picture, but it still needed to be blogged. Each month Shaersti's school gives out a "Hero Hunt" award to one child in each class. Shaersti got the award this month for Friendship. We went to her assembly and it was fun to see kids get awards for various things. Shaersti loves to play with friends more than anything else and she is a good friend. We are proud of her.

Anneliese Turns 5

Although she could easily pass for 3, our little Anne just turned 5. She is so much fun to have in our house. She is very tender-hearted and emotional and she is great at taking are of other people. If any one of us tries to leave (including Shaersti going to school), she has to give us hugs and kisses at least 3 times. We have learned it's just best to let her and avoid the emotional fit that follows if we don't. She loves to play with friends, color, and play games. She also loves new clothes and is very particular about what she wears. She is very, very tiny but doesn't like getting called little. If you are having a bad day, she's the very best person to to get snuggles from. We love you Anne!
Anne had her first "friend" party. She had the fine privilege of Grandpa Scott coming over to play Simon Says with her friends. He also sang primary songs and played other games with them. They all loved it.

Rodeo

We love the rodeo! It has become a family tradition and my kids look forward to it all year. In fact, Anne is sure that it's all for her birthday.And here's the birthday girl:

Paysli and Callie are super cute together.

Hurricane Peach Days

We went to Peach Days in Hurricane to have lunch and listen to my dad play in his band. I was pretty fun. The kids made a Home Depot craft for free and they thought that was way cool.

Have I ever mentioned that I have the best husband in the world?

Shaersti & Briggs

Shaersti loves her little brother and she is so much help with him. She will hold him for hours on end and she will really go out of her way to make him smile. I am so grateful for all of her help and I love to see her taking such good care of her brother.

Baby Pictures

I love newborn baby pictures... and I sure love my new little boy!
