Diana turned six today.

Diana asked her aunt, Taylor, to do her hair for her birthday.

"Where art thou, [insert your name]?"

 The church meetings were amazing today! I learned about a new way to study the scriptures. Here it is:

Sam visits Stacie in Washington; Penny gets sick; visiting Granny and Grandpa

Sam visited Stacie and cute baby Mercy in Washington for a few days last week.

Mercy would poke her head up over the couch whenever she finished feeding and she always got a big smile on her face when she saw Sam sitting at the table.

I stayed home with the children while Sam was away. Everything went well except when Penny got knocked down by a nasty illness. She threw up all night during one of the nights and was lethargic for the next two days because she couldn't eat much.

I had to wash Penny's sheets and blankets after she vomited on them. So, we took advantage of the opportunity to arrange her "stuffies" (stuffed animals) for her.

We visited Granny and Grandpa this past Sunday. Here the children are helping Granny fill her nut/candy feeder.

Later in the day, Diana accidentally knocked the feeder onto the floor. Granny wanted photos before we cleaned up the mess.

Fly High (with Grandma and Tristan and Lydian)

 

Today we met Grandma, Tristan, and Lydian at Fly High in Ogden, Utah, where we jumped, ran, and jumped some more.

Grandma treated everyone to ice cream at Farr Better Ice Cream after burning many calories at the trampoline place.
