Lizzie and her traveling companions

Newest

This one was fun because the pretty color. Funny thing, I never was big into purple...But I like this one.

Evelyn

I walked into my bedroom this morning to find Evelyn laying on her back with her feet in the air. Her feet were "talking". Apparently they were telling knock-knock jokes to each other.

So our niece, Elizabeth, came down with 4 guys to join a National Choir for a week. Jer took the kids to play and I went to the early Saturday performance at Abravanel Hall. They were absolutely amazing! I especially loved the first piece they sang. And all their music was in Spanish. So fun. After the concert, Lizzie had about 5 hours to kill so we took her to Kneaders for lunch and we all went to go see the Meet the Mormons movie in the Legacy theater on Temple Square. Jer was the only one to have seen it. I thought it was really well done. I really liked the segment on the Mormon Bishop and his family. Ada actually really enjoyed it, but Sam, Evelyn and Seth all slept right through it...

Jer took the kids up to the 3rd floor to look down. Thanks to my new handy camera I could still get a good picture of them.

Lizzie in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

Jer got a table tennis set as a white elephant gift... while Jer has never used it, the kids think it's the greatest thing ever.

New camera

Can I just say that I'm spoiled rotten. When our camera broke, Jer bought me a new one as an early birthday and Mother's Day present. And to think that all I got him was chocolate... (well, a lot of chocolate). I love it and I'm definitely not used to it yet. It's higher quality images and can take really good pictures in very low light without the flash... I'm not used to how bright it makes it all... I need to remember to adjust for that when I'm doing things that I want a high contrast on or a back light look. Thanks Jer! You are amazing!

I'm so glad when family comes play, glad as I can be!

Park

The kids had a Teacher comp day not too long ago. We went to the park and to check out the Pez collection in the window of the Daylight Donuts by the Purple Turtle. Ada and Sam were both super excited to have a picnic at the park and to bring their friend Laurel along too. Day off school did not mean day off dance though.
