Little Casanova

My Conversation with Joey:

Mom: Joey, who is the girl you were holding hands with?
Joey: Camilla
Mom: When did this start?
Joey: On Monday.
Mom: Why did you start holding her hand on Monday?
Joey: Well, she told me that she liked me and she is just so pretty. Mom I'm in love with her.
Mom: Joey, you know that we don't have girlfriends until we're older.
Joey: But mom I'm in love with her.
Mom: Well, she can still be your favorite friend, but we need to wait until you're at least 16 to have a girlfriend and do things like holding hands, or kissing.
Joey: Alright, I will let her know.

(Young love. Isn't it great. Crazy what happens when you come back from spring break)

My 4 month old cutie

I decided that we needed some more Carlee photos, so here we go.

Life is good when you are 4 months old

Fun with the Robinsons

My sister Cindy and her family have officially moved to Arizona. We are super excited to have them here. They are staying with us until we finish building our new house and then they have offered to rent our house. The arrangement totally helps us, so if they can put up with us for a few months it will be a win, win. In the meantime:

We went out to dinner for my birthday.


We've visited parks and played at Madera Canyon. Mostly we have just enjoyed one another's company. Ty and Carlee are really cute. He goes around the house saying, "Baby, baby." When Carlee was crying in the car we looked back and saw Ty doing this to comfort her. So cute. I feel like the luckiest person around with two sisters close by. Now we just have to convince the rest of them to move out here.

St Patrick's Day

This year we were able to celebrate St Patrick's day with my sister Cindy and her family. Cindy had my kids all make Leprechaun traps for family night, but in spite of our best efforts, we weren't able to catch a Leprechaun. They did however leave behind some treats.

Blue and Gold Banquet

A few weeks ago we attended Jake's first blue and gold banquet. Having only been in scouts for 6 weeks he was thrilled to receive his Bobcat award and two belt loops. We are now working on his Wolf badge. The theme this year was magic and so several boys performed magic tricks and each table was decorated with top hats and wands. Jake is loving scouts and I am grateful that he has incredible leaders who really make things fun for the boys.

Mesa Temple Trip

It's been a crazy couple of months so I am just now getting around to posting a picture of Rebecca's first temple trip. She was soooooo excited to go and do baptisms. We don't have a lot of youth in our ward, but these girls are really getting to know and enjoy each other. What a fun day.
