Those darn glasses...

I was looking through some old pictures and came across these. It was Christmas morning and mom got everyone in the living room so she could read a letter she got from Stevie. Her glasses were caught in her necklace and she was having so much trouble getting them undone. These pictures made me laugh pretty hard. We love you Mom!

my turn to contribute.

I know I always check to see if there are new posts on all the blogs so I figured I'd better post some too. EnJoY!!!!

Sidenote about Father's Day...

We went to the cemetery yesterday to visit with grandpa and Allison said, "I haven't seen grandpa in awhile. When is he coming out?" It was sweet and sad all at the same time.

Happy Father's Day!

I had a few people at church ask me if today was especially hard. I have thought more about all the fun/funny things about dad. I especially thought of him when we passed out cinnamon rolls today to all the dad's. It reminded me of how much he LOVED sweets. Finding him many times in the kitchen sneaking something, thinking no one saw or heard him, is now a treasured memory. I think Steven will carry on the tradition because he had the most cinnamon rolls of any dad at church today!

This picture I posted is the only digital one I have of dad, since we don't have a scanner, but there is a funny story behind it. Allison was only a few weeks old and dad was her first babysitter (he was so proud of that). As I was getting ready to leave he yelled for me to come into the living room. I really thought something was wrong. He said, "you've got to get a picture of this" Relieved that he just wanted a picture, I thought he was talking about Allison (of course)... but no, he was talking about Roxy trying to get on his lap. He thought it was the greatest thing! I just got the camera and took the picture, but I remember being a little upset that he worried me in the way he called me into the living room and all to take a picture of Roxy. I am very glad I took the picture!

Visiting Grandma...

Last week Adam and I were looking for an excuse to get out of the house. We decided to drive up to Pasadena and surprise mom at work. When we got there mom had just walked out of the office, so we sat Charlie up on this chair in the waiting room with the vase of flowers next to him. Mom walked in and totally lost it... she was so happy!!! Charlie was happy too... look at his smile in the picture with mom.

All Boy...Mostly Boy!

I have never considered Zachary "all boy." He is definitely my sweet, careful, sensitive one. But just in the past few weeks, his boy side is coming out. Now that the weather is warm we are spending more time outside and there is a lot more mischief to get into!

MTC for Vinnie

Today we went to the MTC to send Vinnie off to Paraguay. We sent him off with some of Bens famous chocolate chip cookies. He seemed very excited and looked like a little missionary. It brought back memories of taking David and Steven. He's going to be a great missionary!

Cousins

Everytime (almost everytime) Allison says her prayers she blesses baby Grace, the new playroom, (those two are always together!) and now on her own she says baby Charlie. It is very sweet.

Doesn't this remind everyone of Nora!!! (Turn on and up your volume)

Doesn't this remind everyone of Nora!!!

Like Adam... like Nora!!!

We apologize but blogger.com would not allow this picture to remain posted, the image is too graphic

Wigs!

New Hair Do!

The pictures of Mom and Ally made us get this idea. Our friends had a wig sitting out and we put it on Gracie. This is what she might look like with even longer hair. We thought it was pretty funny!

Like Brother, Like Sister!

Someone please stop me! I am getting way too into this blogging thing!
