The Girls

With four females in the home, we usually take over, but with the boys gone for a few days we got to fully take over and do everything girly. Went for a ride on the carousel, then a little fun shopping at Claire's to buy some cheap jewelry. Watched Mulan together one night and after the girls were in bed I watched the romance, North and South (I love the romances where they don't kiss until they are engaged, or even married...so steamy!)  Friday night the girls were in heaven at a cake decorating birthday party.  On Saturday, Isabel and I got to go with some girlfriends to watch the beautiful ballerina, Rebekah, dance. Our friend Julie bought all of the little girls a pair of Rebekah's autographed ballet slippers! I say "pose!" and Isabel smiles nicely. I say "pose!" and this is what Sylvia gives me. Isabel, Isabelle, and Allie Ben, Rebekah, Julie, Shellie, Chris, Lacey, Me, Liz, Allison and Gretchen

The Boys

Joey took Luke and went on a fishing trip in Escalante, Utah with Grandpa Joe!  Hiking, fishing and bug catching.  They had a lot of fun.  Thank you Joe!
