Happy Birthday America!!

Can't wait for the Parade tomorrow, Hope to see some of you there! Happy 4th of July!!

I feel so grateful to have been born in America and to enjoy all the many freedoms that we enjoy. Many that I am sure I take for granted everyday! I love it here! Can't wait for the bbq's and the fireworks.

Sleeping beauty...

How sweet is this?? I went in to check on Ella tonight and this is what I found, I couldn't resist, and had to take a picture! I had no idea she sucked her fingers like that. i love it!

The transition...

Parley and Brigham have both had to transition into Big boy beds earlier than i would have liked, but what do you do! Brigham has actually handled the transition just fine, probably better than me! He just seems way to little to be sleeping in a big bed. The boys have loved it! The first few nights we could hear them in there laughing and talking, i love it! Brigham has been so good, he doesn't even crawl out or anything, still goes right to bed like a good boy and he still takes his naps just fine. He has fallen out a few times but not anymore. Doesn't he just seem to little. I love this kid!

Parley wasn't too sure about sharing a room, but he is doing better now. He loves his little brother.

oh and by the way, ever since Ella has been in her own room and in a crib, she has been sleeping through the night, in fact for the last 3 nights in a row she has gone 13 hours without even waking up once!! It has made the world of difference in my life! (Even though i still get up at 6 to check on her!)

Enrichment Night...

Sorry for all the pictures, My mom loves details and she would have given anything to be there last night, (Sharon is one of her best friends). So here you go mom, love and miss you!!

I am the Enrichment Leader in our ward, and last night was one of our 4 quartely activities. It turned out to be a nice night. We had Sister Sharon G. Larsen (a former counselor in the YW general presidency) come and speak to us. She did a fantastic job, we also had an awesome musical number. The whole night was on Visiting Teaching. It was a very uplifting night. We served a yummy dinner and dessert and the weather ended up being perfect even though it was cloudy and threatening all day. It was a fun night, but it feels so good to have it over with!
My committee is amazing. They did a great job with everything and they were so much help. Way to go guys, now we don't have to stress again for another 3 months..ok maybe 2.
Sharon and I, I grew up living next door to Sharon and have so many wonderful memories with her. It was so good to see her again.
