Ralph's Birthday!

Ralph woke up to a string hunt, but we weren't dressed yet, so here is the loot.

Opening a present from Ralph's parents in law.

Hannah waits with bated breath and a full mouth.

A Spanish bible and the New Testament on CD in Spanish. A very thoughtful gift.

Some goofy family pictures.

The girls and their cousin posing outside of our Ikea steal of a tent.

Pumpkin, anyone?

I am in charge of the mom and me group in our church ward. We went to the pumpkin patch. Thanks to the two out of 14 mom's on my list who came. Here are a few pictures.

Amber and two of the six boys all born the same year. It is Amber and six or seven boys the same age in her nursery class.

Amber and Hannah in a huge pumpkin.

We Love General Conference

Because that means doughnuts with frosting and sprinkles... (Amber stuffed the rest of the doughnut into her mouth, then said with her mouth very full, can I have another one?)

And listening to our Prophet, President Monson.

Family Pictures

I used to think that I was a creative person. Blogging should be the background for my juices to flow. But I feel at a loss these days. So here is my boring, to the point, title for this picture. It's my family at Ralph's brother's wedding.

Sleep Amber, Sleep

We have been finding Amber asleep in the strangest positions when we tuck her in. We usually turn off her night light before we go to bed. Here are two of the funniest ones.

Here's Amber with her best friend, Finn.

Ralph's Turn

Ralph has been great since he has been home. He can do bath time, bed time, meals, and even has taken a turn carrying the girls ON his tummy.

August Highlights

Hanging out after church.

She was just too cute, I had to take a picture.

Swimming, also, too cute. (She let me put two french braids in her hair!)

Playing with Hannah at the Discovery Gateway.

One last use of the matching Easter Dresses. She even kept the big, obnoxious bow in her hair all during church.

New tent from Ikea for ten bucks!
