Hello fellow bloggers. I have been thinking recently about how the things we put on our blogs can affect many people. Think of the far reaching aspect of the internet. I know many people read my blog who I have never met and have no idea who they are. I do the same to others. I enjoy blog stalk-ing.

May I suggest that as LDS church members we have a great responsibility to post responsibly and take the opportunity to share the gospel on our blogs. Elder Ballard has spoken recently on this very topic. Click HERE to read his talk.

Samantha's First Owie

The purpose of today's post is to warn you all of the dangers of bows. Yes bows. Careful that you don't get too carried away in your making of them that you forget about hazardous wires poking from the back before they are finished as you hold them to your baby's forehead and scrape them across to the other side to see if you might like the angle better leaving a huge gash in your wake. This is what your baby might look like if this should happen to you.
This is the stupid bow that might harm your child. You have been warned!

Goodbye Graduates!

Last week we had an AWESOME going away party for all the graduates. It really made things seem oh-so-much more closer to being done. I mean... WE"RE ALMOST DONE!!!!!!!! HOOOOOOORAY! Mike, Trevor, Jim, Justin, and Janee

Sorry the pictures aren't any better, but the lighting just wasn't the best. The party was AWESOME thanks to Janee's efforts! Thanks for everything Janee!!

I am feeling so many different emotions right now. Happy, sad, scared, elated, worried... mostly worried. That feeling will go away after Trevor passes the bar and has a job. I know Heavenly Father has a plan and He will take care of us. Now I just can't wait to get back to Idaho!!

An explosion of poo poo, wet underwear, and the Fourth of July

It has been a great holiday. We started out on the Third of July with a fireworks show at a friend's house. Not their fireworks but one that was put on by the township (Don't ask me how the township/city thing works because I have had it explained to me numerous times and still don't get it) and we were able to watch it from their backyard. So it was lots of fun and for once Logan didn't scream and cry. He actually loved it!Playing Red Rover while we waited for it to get dark.This morning we got up and went to a parade! I have never been to a Fourth of July parade before, but it really put me in the mood. I felt a real pride in our country and truly blessed to be an American. Logan was scared of the guy on the stilts, but it sure was cool.

Lastly we ended the night at another friend's house for a BBQ. Lots of good food and games. The whole group of us walked down to the park to play kickball. It too was fun until Logan wet himself while playing on the playground and Samantha had a major poopy blowout. We went home with two screaming children and two worn out parents. FUN FUN FUN!!!

A Lot of This and That

This post is going to be boring for most of you. I am mainly posting these videos for family members.


For those who have not met Samantha yet, this gets you pretty close.



Logan just recently learned how to use the pedals on his bike.



And of course he wanted to show everyone his scooter.
