Tribute to President Hinkley

I recieved this from Luana and I loved it. I tried to forward it to most of you but am not sure if it worked. If not, here it is. Enjoy!

ALLIGATOR ANYONE?

This morning Travis and Grandpa took Kaitlynn fishing. They all had a great time even though they caught absolutely nothing! Kaitlynn even learned to bait her own hook. (gross!) The highlight of the day was watching the alligator sunning himself on the shore. At least the alligator wasn't in our yard this time!

DVD help

I have been trying to download a dvd we made of Kaity singing but I can't figure out how to do it. Our dvd recorder doesn't plug into the computer and I can't get the dvd to download onto the computer-it will just play it. Anyone have any suggestions!? It is driving me CRAZY! Sunday Kaity sang I wonder when he comes again in Sacrament meeting. After she was done she asked me "when I can do that again?" I don't think she has a shy bone in her body. At times I envy her. A couple of days ago I saw that my cousin Holly posted a list of 100 things she is grateful for. I think she was inspired to do that because I REALLY needed to be reminded of my own blessings. ;) Thanks Holly! Sunday I substituted for a primary teacher. What a zoo! It made me very grateful for my yw calling. I need those 2 child free hours every week!!! We are having our house appraised for the 2nd time on Friday and we need all the prayers we can get. If you can, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers this week. I know that the power of prayer is very powerful!

Violin lessons?!

I think that I may have lost my mind. We are starting violin classes in relief society and I was very excited when it was announced. The woman in charge asked me last week if I would be her assistant which would include private lessons. I said yes not knowing what I was getting myself into. I always wanted to have some musical ability and now I am thinking that maybe that was wishful thinking. I have to practice while Travis is at work and Kaity is at school because the sounds that come off the violin sort of resemble the racoons that fight in our backyard at night. So, hopefully a miracle happens and I get much better or my musical ability will continue to be limited to the CD player! ;)

The last picture I had to post because Brayden is convinced that he cleaned his room all by himself. I am trying to make him understand that throwing everything into his closet does not mean that your room is clean. Now if I could just get Kaity to realize that concept also applies to under the bed as well. Does anyone else have this issue? I swear it is driving me crazy!!

Halloween again?!

So after they "cleaned " their rooms it was time for a more appropriate Sunday afternoon activity. ha! ha! Kaitlynn exchanged her church dress for her diva attire (what else is new) while daddy and Brayden put together a model airplane. It made for a quiet afternoon!

Roxie

This is the new outfit that grandma made Kaitlynn for Christmas. I don't know who is more proud of it- grandma or Kaity.
A day at the park with great grandma and grandpa Sumner.
Okay Aubrey. Here is a picture of Roxie. Isn't she pretty!? ;) I haven't ridden a bike since I was in the 7th grade so you could say that I am a little out of practice. I haven't crashed yet but for some reason all my neighbors think that I look hillarious and make fun of me as I cruise by. Well too bad! I LOVE my bike!
