My sister Julie had her baby today, about 5:30pm. They named him Logan Wallace and he is very handsome. He has dark brown hair and a lot of it. He was 8lbs. 3oz. and 19 1/2" long(I think?). Delivery went fast, she was glad. Big sister Olivia came and was not sure what was going on. She didn't even want to sit by her mommy on the hospital bed. She did smile at the baby. Congratulations Julie and Jeff, you did a great job!!
R used his own money to buy 6 pounds of Lego's on EBay. The kids have had a great time this weekend playing and building things. R has been very nice to share with his sisters. I'm so proud of him. They have played for hours. He couldn't believe how much 6 lbs. was, the bag was HUGE!
Summer break is so fun!!!
B & K had a fun time building this castle for their dolls. They used R's blocks and a lot of creativity. They had some dolls that were guards(protecting the castle), queens and princesses. So, of course they wanted their picture taken. They had a great time!

K trying to read it.
The kids had swim lessons the past 2 weeks. They had a great time! K was in the Alligator class, B in the Dolphin class and R in the Sting Ray class. K did really well and is starting to be brave and trying to swim. I was going to bring my camera the last day, but forgot. Luckily my dear friend Amy brought hers and surprised me with pictures of K. The pictures are great!! Their little tushies are so cute. I love when she was looking at her report card, her eyes looked amazed, as if she was reading it.(Thanks, Amy!!!)
Todd paragliding (his favorite hobby)
Todd skiing with the family
Happy 44th Birthday Todd!! Wow, we are getting older, it's hard to believe. He didn't get much of a birthday today, I'm sorry. I've been sick the past couple of days and he's been out of town. B woke up this morning sick too. I called Todd at his meeting to see if by any chance he could come home as soon as he finished his presentation. I was supposed to help at R's cub scout camp and my sisters were coming to babysit. I called them and said not to come, we are sick. If B wasn't sick I probably would have gone, even though I shouldn't. I've been in bed all day. He made it home just barely in time. So he went with R to camp, I'm so very thankful. I know R really enjoyed having him there. He was a lifesaver on his birthday. We'll have to make it up to him. Happy Birthday honey, I love you!!
My new Dyson Vacuum
from the down stairs carpet
I just got a new vacuum and I guess I really needed one. We just vacuumed the other day and this is what the new vacuum picked up. Gross!!!! I couldn't believe it. This is just from down stairs, I don't even want to know what it picks up from up stairs. My girls love the color!! I would truly recommend this vacuum to anyone. I'm so impressed. I had no idea how dirty my house still was after cleaning.
HOW CLEAN IS YOUR HOUSE??
Happy 60th Birthday Mom!! I can't belive it. I still think of her as 50, so I guess I'm getting older too. I guess no bad luck for Friday the 13th!! She's in Washington with lots of grandkids, celebrating with my oldest niece whose graduating from High School(I was there when she was born; now I really feel old). Good luck in college.
Also, my parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary last week. Congratulations!!!! We'll party next month when all my siblings are here for my brothers wedding.
"R" looks like a 4th grader

R's 3rd grade class had an ice cream party for the last day of school. It was yummy. K and I got to have one too. R had a good time signing year books and visiting with his friends. He will truly miss his teacher. She was great!!! I hope at least one of my girls get her. He had a super year, I can't believe how fast he is growing, 4th grade, yikes!! I hope next year is as great as this year OR better.
B with all her friends
B & K "Sisters"

B with her teacher, Mrs.Kraemer
B's first grade class had a picnic at the park next to the school for the last day. One of the moms bought pizza and the kids played. K had a great time with all the BIG girls, I'm glad B included her. It was great to visit with the other moms and take pictures. B will miss her teacher, hopefully we can get together during the summer and the kids can play. She really enjoys reading now, it's so cute to find her with lots of books!! She has always loved books, but now she can read them and not just look at pictures. I think that's why she's a great artist; she has studied pictures in books for 6 years.
Beautiful Lake Tahoe

The girls at our weekend away enjoying the fire.
I was invited to join a dear friend and other friends to a weekend away at her Condo. We had such a great time!!! I haven't had so much fun since a teenager; staying up late, laughing and not taking care of anyone else. It was like a big slumber party. The scenery was beautiful!!! The hike was long and tiring, but worth the pain. We hiked anywhere from 6 to 8 miles that day(not exactly sure). The view was breathtaking. We sat in the spa afterwards to relax the muscles. We ate delicious food and watched a tearful movie. Made friendships to last a lifetime. We enjoyed a very spiritual Sacrament meeting on Sunday. I'm so thankful for Todd, to take time off work and watch the kids for me. It was a long 4 days for him. I hope he'll let me do it again!! Thanks again for a fantastic time!!!
