Emma was so excited for her birthday!! She has hit that age of not being sure where she fits. She is still a little girl in some ways and in other ways she wants to be grown up. She still likes Dora the Explorer and wanted a Dora cake. It was easy to do so that made me happy. We gave her the gift of getting her ears pierced. She was screaming with excitement when she opened it. She and her best friend, Emma, went together to get their ears pierced.

I am so grateful that Emma is still content to be a little girl, and yet she is growing up into a beautiful young lady.

7th grade Football 2011

Well Matthew's football season is over. He had a great time!! We loved watching him. Last year I only took four pictures. This year there are a lot of pictures!! Matthew played defensive end. He worked hard. I had no idea how much of a size difference there was in 7th grade boys, some of them were bigger than Neil and a few were smaller than David. Matthew went up a couple of really big kids. The Powell Cubs won all of their home games, but they were winless on the road. What was really cool about football this year is that the entire Deacons Quorum in our ward played on the team together. We enjoyed watching them, they are a great group of boys!!! Hope you enjoy seeing a little of Matthew's season.

To thine own self be true

Joshua has a new cutest saying. The other day he had some scratches by his nose. Bethany asked him where he got them. He told her they were mosquito bites. She said, "I don't believe that." Joshua answered "I believe mine own self." It was really cute. Yesterday when he climbed up in the tree house he was so proud and kept saying "I did it mine own self." So I guess to thine own self be true. Joshua sure keeps us laughing and smiling. Too cute for his own good sometimes.

Slideshow of pictures of Lydia

I was just having fun figuring out how to use Smilebox so I made this slide show of Lydia. She sure is a pretty baby!! She is a very good baby. She is getting better about sleeping lately. She is learning to crawl and she just got her first tooth. She is the youngest of our children to crawl or get a tooth at not quite nine months. Hope you enjoy the slideshow as much as I enjoyed making it.
