Father's Day Krispie Kreme Deal

I was watching the news tonight and saw this and thought I would share it with everyone. I think we may be getting Krispie Kreme tomorrow morning.(:

Krispy Kreme is offering a fun promotion this weekend, for Father's Day. People can bring in an ugly tie from Dad and get a free dozen glazed doughnuts.

The ties may be redeemed through Sunday, June 21st. They will be displayed in the stores. Then, on Monday, June 22, staff members from each store will judge the ties they have received. The owner of the ugliest tie for each store will win free doughnuts for a year.

8 Years...

It's been 8 years today since I lost my sweet baby sister, Briana. I still think about her just about everyday. Time has dulled the pain, but I still miss her. She loved our family so much. I looked through a bunch of old pictures today and there she was. Always with a huge smile and almost always hugging someone. It's said that you love those who you serve. Because of her disablities, our family grew up serving my sister, and we all loved her so much more deeply because of it. I can't help but smile when I think about my mom and sister together with the Savior. I would have loved to have been able to catch a glimpse of that reunion. I know that when Briana came for my mother, she must have joyfully taken her hand. I can't even imagine what it will be like to see my sister again. So beautiful, so perfect, and so exalted. I am so grateful and proud to have her as a sister. Till we meet again, my angel sister, I love you!

Summer Fun

So far the kids are getting completley spoiled this summer. It's been fun now that the kids are old enough to really enjoy some of our outings.
Cousins!

Playing at "Jump On It". The kids LOVED it! It's also free for 3 and under and parents don't have to pay if you don't jump, so it was totally free. Can't beat that!

Of course, Auntie Jamie has to spoil the kids as much as she can!

And They Call It Puppy Love...

Yep, these two can't get enough of eachother. It's cute...and a little gross. I try to block out of my mind the germs that Makenna is getting exposed to.

Verbal

Parker as always been a pretty verbal kid but some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth just makes me laugh. Today he came out of the bathroom with a self-styled hairdo and asked me if he looked handsome. Then he said, "I used water and some gel as well." As well. Seriously. He's three and I think he speaks better than I do.

Parker wanted me to take this picture of him with "lamby".

Mommy's shoes

She's all girl.

Our Garden

Here's our garden. It may not look like much right now, but it was a lot of work and we are pretty proud of it.
