Remember

Today, as I sit and ponder life, the silence is broken by the sounds of kids screaming outside. Well, not really screaming, and I am can't really sit and ponder with the amount of noise that is produced out of 3 such cute little things. How do you ponder anyways? I have been thinking back a lot lately to when I was a young thing, a few years ago, and how I used to play outside and the joy I found in playing in the dirt and mud. I decided that I was no longer going to get upset with my girls for doing the same things that I did as a child. Until... well I guess they do something really terrible with this new found freedom, since I just gave it to them 3 days ago. They of course don't know I have given it to them, so we will see what comes of that. So far they have just made mud balls and cookies.
Do you remember those?

Duck Pond

Here is the girls by a duck pond next to the Hillsboro Public Library. It was so fun to just sit in the shade and watch them.

We had so much fun then we invited the RS to join us the next week. It was a great success. (except that Ariana wasn't there!! J/K we just miss you)

Camping @ Kilchiss'

Here are a few photos from our camping trip last weekend. This place was so great. Loads of trees for exploring. (that is why there is not many pictures of Madie and Cadie, they were never around.) The campground was about 4 miles away from the cheese factory in Tillamook. The girls got so dirty, but had so much fun that they slept the whole way home. This was our ward campout, but I think we will go back next year, or even later this year just as a family.

Summer Games

Summer friends make for long lasting friendships!! This is the start of a hide and seek game in a friends backyard. The first of many games to be played.

Seeking a title

This is my Cadie just goofing off. She is so funny sometimes, she can make me smile and laugh and cry and scream all in the same day. Why are kids so full of emotions? Why am I so full of emotions?
I made this poster on snapfish with all her pictures, they had so many emotions in each one that all together they were beautiful. I just need a title for the poster, my original was "Cadie in all her glory", but it just doesn't seem right.
