My Cute Lifeguard!

Katelyn on her way to teach swim lessons and lifeguard for open swim!  Isn't she cute!  I love her hat!  (I bought that for her!)

Laundry Mail From Brooke!!!!!!

When Brooke was little she used to send me cute little messages down the laundry shoot!  Well I got another one today!  This little note made me emotional when I found it!  I love you Brooke!!

Another Throwback...

I found this sweet little gem this morning when I was looking for a baby picture of Katelyn for Girls Camp!  She was 6 months old in this picture!  (September 2003)  What a little cutie!!

Memorial Day Memories!

I baked a cake for Jesse today!  He said that if we baked him a cake, he'd come to church!  Here he is with his mom and ALL SMILES!  He couldn't stop smiling when we brought it over to him!  I told him he didn't have to share it either!!!  Jesse was in our Trek Family last summer and such an amazing kid!  We just love Jesse!  (Incidentally... he did come to church the following Sunday and even got a calling!)

Pictures of Brooke snoozing by the pool-- can't believe it's still cool enough to do this fully clothed!  Paisley even got in on the action!  Below we are sporting our cute new pants for Memorial Day!  We love the red, white and blue colors!  We had the missionaries over for dinner tonight and had a BBQ with steaks and yummy veggies out of our garden.  We ate outside on the patio by the pool with a cool breeze!  It was a gorgeous night!  I should've gotten pictures!  Elder Scheible is from Germany and Elder Stanford is from Canada...so they didn't understand the whole Memorial Day thing, but they loved the food.  I lucked out when I fixed them strawberry shortcake for dessert-- both of their favorite desserts!  It was a great Memorial Day and such a beautiful evening!  Heat's comin' though!

A Little Walk Down Memory Lane...and Some Reality!! Hahahaha!!

Megan texted me this morning asking to see a picture of her blessing dress.  I couldn't find her dress to take a picture of it (it's put away in a box somewhere), but I found these sweet little pictures of her blessing day when we lived in Wenden, AZ.  They are from December 1996!!  It was fun to remember this sweet day!

THEN, coming back into reality... we have some pictures of after church studying Come Follow Me in Dad's Bishop's office.  Brooke and Katelyn were being silly and messing around... not unusual though...hahahahaha!!  We're gonna miss you Brookie! 

School's OUT for the Summer!

Here's some miscellaneous pictures... the first is a screenshot of Brooke's Missionary Portal telling her how many days she has 'til she reports to the MTC :/, the one of me is the first one she took on her new Samsung phone (she was getting it all ready), the next 4 are pictures of some of Katelyn's school projects from the year--from History and Chemistry... the animal is a mole (for Chemistry!), hahahaha!  The rest of the pictures are our day out together to celebrate school being out.  We went out to lunch at Wildflower Bread Co.,and then went shopping!  The girls couldn't help jumping in the splash pad!

Pretty Brooke!

We took pictures of Brooke again today!  It was a beautiful, breezy cool day!  We got some good ones!!!
