Ryan's Space Station

Ryan created this cool space station for a 6th grade project.  I thought he was particularly creative with his use of legos.

Izzy's Cup Stacking

Izzy made these creations with hundreds of cups in our garage.  Unfortunately, the car had to come back in, so the creations had to be destroyed.  They were pretty cool though.

I hate when friends move

We've had lots of friends come into our lives because of where we live.  It's kind of a transitory neighborhood.  While there are disadvantages to living in a place like this, there are also benefits.  I'm thankful to have made lots of amazing friends over the years.  Unfortunately, I'm going to have to dig for pictures of them, so currently I'll only post about the latest two to leave.

 

Eric and Camille have been in our ward for several years.  We have loved being their friends.  We have journeyed through fertility issues together and our delightful little sons were born about 5 weeks apart.  They moved to Seattle recently (and were so excited about it) much to our chagrin.  Best wishes to Eric and Camille!  (Incidentally, we had just gotten home from camping, I'm super cute.)

Garrison and Valeri moved in just a year ago but we quickly became great friends and were very caught off guard when they told us they were moving in March and moved out the next day.  (Although one might wonder if we chased them off considering the fact that they kind of snuck out, one would be wrong.)
Scott and Garrison still work out in the mornings at the church and they still come over to visit, but still, I hate when people leave.

Be careful of asking Garrison to take any pictures with your camera, inevitably, you'll end up with this self-portrait.

The Beautiful Bayli

Bread Helper

Ashley loves to be my little helper when it's time to make bread (or she'd really prefer cookies so she can snitch dough).  I love to have her help.  She loves to do the flour and doesn't mind at all if we need to refill the container because then she gets to scoop even more.  I love this little princess. (She chose her hair accessories today, isn't she lovely?)

Ashley and Midnight

For some reason, sleeping next to Ashley on top of the bunkbed is one of Midnights favorite places.  Unfortunately for Ashley, he only comes up once she is asleep, so she never even knows how much he loves to snuggle her.

Cinderella and Prince Charming

Forgive me for allowing myself to dream of these two loving each other even when they are grown.  But you can't possibly blame me when I catch them in moments like these.  Ashley's boot fell off and Micah very sweetly put it back on for her.  Love it.

Tommy and Bayli

I have more pictures somewhere of these two little sweethearts, but alas, this is all you get for now.

This is Bayli our sweet little friend whom we love.  As you can see, Tommy loves her enough to share his church treats with her.  Shortly after these pictures were taken they moved out of our ward...Boo.  Luckily for us, they like Tommy enough to come back to visit us.
