Nic put together our shed on the shadey side of the house when he got home in the evenings. (It was still hot outside – even in the evening and in the shade!) When he was done, the elder’s quorum presidency offered to help him move it to the back yard where we wanted it.
After our last camping trip, I tried to run a load of clothes only to find that the washing machine would not spin or drain. Nic hopped on-line and found some info and tutorials on how to fix it and got it done that night. Good job dear!
(How funny…He’s wearing the same outfit, but these pictures are taken on different days.)

Talmage and Molly unloading the dishwasher. All of my kids are quite good about helping with chores. (They also know that if they complain three times about a chore, hey get an extra one – hehe.) I’m amazed at how much they are able to accomplish! We haven’t implemented extra chores for extra money (though they do get a small allowance each month for their own spending). I took a class at BYUI called Work and Family – I realized there that I would like to work together as a family because it needs done and not because we get extra for oursleves. We’ll see how that motto holds up as they get older

Since it was less than paying sitting fees for the entire family, we bought a portrait club membership the last time we got our family picture taken. I marked the expiration date on my google calendar so that we could get another one right before it expired without having to fork out the doe again. Now we are set until #5 makes her way and gets big enough (and I get small enough) to have another family picture taken. (We also got a ninja family picture taken with black masks on. It was the only way to get Talmage to wear all black like I wanted him to. I’ll have to get it scanned and add it in.)

We got some curbing in the back yard this summer. This is a picture of us getting ready for it. (Brookie has her own little camera – It’s almost strange to see Nic and I both in the picture because one of us is usually taking the picture.)
After the curbing was put in, Brooklyn (in spite of my instructions) walked along it before it was dry. I called the guy who put it in for us to see if he could fix it before it completely dried. He said no, he would have to cut the sections out and lay them again – $50-75 per section. Since there were five sections, I opted to just piece it back together as best as I could. By that time it was about the consistency of mostly-wet sand. It looks okay now – not too noticeable. I told Nic it is like the LDS conference center with it’s intentional blemishes

Can you tell which part of the brownie I like best?! (Can’t say I’m proud, but check out this pic!)

What cuties. ‘Molly Mormon’ and ‘Peter (Talmage) Priesthood.’

Whew! Finnally getting around to some blogging. These pics are clear back from St Patrick’s Day. Lot’s of love and green food coloring went into this meal. (I won’t go so green next time – we pooped green for two days!)

In the van today, Clara was raising her arms up and clapping her hands above her head. Molly, sitting in the car seat next to her, thought it looked fun and tried it herself…problem is, her short little arms don’t reach all of the way around her toddler head yet! She had to settle for patting her head

I’ve noticed a few grey hairs on my head lately. You’d think I might be feeling a little upset. On the contrary, I feel kind of cozy and excited… I started noticing them on Nic a while ago. (He is cool, because he’s getting them in his eye brows and sideburns!) The fact that we are happily married and getting grey hairs together feels nice to me. Love you Nic! My plan is go grey naturally – no hair dye. We’ll see how that goes.
