family photos

We recently had our pictures taken by our friend Ashley Thalman.  I think she did an awesome job.

I love the last photo because I think Grandma's house looks so cozy.  I wish her little head was in the window doing dishes, like the old days.

 Today I was looking at pictures of my Grandpa's mission to Minnesota.  Aren't they gorgeous!  I miss him.

happy birthday june!

This post is a bit delayed due to the fact that everyone has horrible colds.  Poor June was sick on her birthday!  Anyway, as legend says, two years ago yesterday this beautiful, intelligent and precocious girl was born and our lives have never been the same.  We like her so much we can't even stand it.

 

june's birthday & milo's blessing

This Sunday we celebrated June's 2nd birthday and blessed Milo.  The weather was perfect and we managed to have our whole family there minus the two families that live out of state.  I ran around like a crazy person because throwing a party for 45 people isn't exactly my forte, but other than that, everything was perfect.

The next two are my favorites.

Milo flirting with a leaf.  He's not picky, he'll flirt with anything.

 Luke has just blown out June's candles and he is getting in trouble.  I love this!

franny's friends

Today we are loving Franny's Friends by Cataruba Kruusval.  Too bad most of her books are in Swedish.  Our favorite part is when Itty Bitty Kitty gets sat on and doesn't get a bun.  Poor kitty.
