6 Haircuts

It was haircut night.  6 usually means 5 boys and a dad.  Tonight, it was 5 boys and Jhett.  I hope Taneil still like me tomorrow---no more curls.

 

Grandma Wells, Sariah, and I went to the first Women's meeting for 8-year-olds and older tonight.  I wanted a three generation picture, but James had the phone.  I loved being there with her.  She's beautiful and growing into a responsible young woman.  Yesterday I went to the temple and the kids were left to babysit with specific instructions.  Mom said Sariah was amazing---taking care of Rex and Lyle, feeding them, cleaning up, and doing it all on time.  Yeah!  What a girl.

 

Talmage and James got the microwave, oven, and range hood installed today.  Talmage also worked on switch and outlet covers.

Out of the Mouth of Babes

During a beautiful musical number about the first vision in sacrament meeting, Rex turned to me with sincere eyes and said, "Jesus Christ appeared in mine heart."  Melts a mother's heart.

(Rug burn falling on the stairs if you were wondering.)

Laryn's Birthday

This sweetie was so excited to do something for Laryn's birthday.  Inside that envelope are two prized pieced of gum.  He did it all himself.

 

Guns

 Couldn't help myself when Great Grandma picked up this gun and Hyrum jumped on the opportunity to fire back.

Won this home defense shotgun at the Lincoln Day Dinner.  EXCITED!!

Missionary Prep

Always with my companion!

Piano Recital

Talmage and Sariah had their best recital yet. 

Sariah and I scooted off to the Junior Miss Dress Rehearsal, but Talmage made the photo.

Welcomed Sights

What was once such a common sight earned a photo moment because I miss it so much!

Springtime, and they are all mine!  (May I mention what great exercise it is to keep four kids going on the swings at the same time?)

Our first backyard get together with Spechts.  They helped pick up rocks and we had pizza on the back porch together.  LOVE IT!
