June Fun!

Hannah is so funny when she watches TV. Just like little Mario was, she also gets really really focused. Here are some of her TV watching poses. 

We went to the surprise birthday party for Lisa Claar. It was so much fun, they has these super cute flowers for the girls to put in their hair. Hannah loved them. 

(I love the look on the Brother Claar's face in the back of this one... he he he, we love you, Bishop)

We went swimming at the Mitchell's house! Thanks Mitchells! It is so fun, we got on Thursday for open swim with the Relief Society. So fun! Hannah and Mario love it. Mario just learned to swim around the pool in a life vest. I need to get a good shot of it's, it's rather funny!!

Hannah insisted on wearing these goggles, it makes her look all droopy eyed! Ha ha ha!

So Glad to Have Dad!!

We love you Daddy! We are so happy that you are ours!!! Happy Father's Day!!!

Such a Girl!!

Hannah loves purses, she uses anything for a purse. So I thought I would just make her one, well, she loves it!! She carries it around like a little woman! Such a girl!!!

Cell Phones...

My dad wrote this poem for my 18 year old sister, Mandy, that just graduated from high school and recently took on her own cell phone plan. I thought this really caught the essence of teenage texting! I love you Dad and Mandy!! 

Mandy and the Cell Phone

 

Mandy, Mandy, on the phone,

Talking, talking, on you drone.

Talking here and talking there,

            Communicating everywhere.

In the car and in your room,

            Talking, texting, boom, boom, boom.

At the movie, in the store,

            After work do it some more.

On the sofa, in your bed,

            Texting till the phone goes dead.

In the classroom, if you could,

            But teachers say you never should.

At the table, on the stair,

            Even while you style your hair.

You can hardly just sit still,

            Your cell phone fingers never will.                 

In the kitchen, in the den,

            No matter where you go, or when.

Be it midnight, be it noon,

            If you’re not chatting, you’ll be soon.

Texting, talking, on you go,

            Minutes, hours in a row.

With your friends you must keep up,

            Phone here, text there, hup, hup, hup.

Send a note, but don’t check well,

            Who will care if you can’t spell.

If the phone starts to vibrate,

            You begin to celebrate.

Now you slip your “flip phone” open,

            There’s a message, you are hopin’.

Even when in person talking,

            Your itchy fingers do their walking.

Slip a peek, but feign attention,

            Throw a smile in their direction.

Are you ever off the phone?

            Can’t you leave that thing alone?

You know you are in too deep,

            When you cell phone in your sleep.

Mandy, Mandy, please come home,

            (You get charged more when you roam.)

We Love Friends and Camping and Walking!

Now that we have a car we have been doing so many fun things during the day! We walked around Euchee Creek Trails. The kids love finding nature and taking pictures of it! We have a bunch, but the pictures of the kids finding it is more fun for you to see!

We also went to a park in Evens with our friends the Nixons. We found turtle swimming in this pong and so we fed them leftover peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  They liked it. And the kids loved to watch the turtles fight for it.

One weekend Mario and Mario went camping with the scouts. They had a lot of fun driving up there in the truck together and then sleeping in the back of it. They made quite the little tent back there. They also got a great shoot of little Mario looking at the lake. 

Once again Alicia and her kids came and played and once again we had a great time as always! Bryson brought ALL of his geo track trains and the boys played ALL DAY LONG!! When they were getting ready to leave we took some fun pictures in the rocker chairs. Bryson loves to play with Hannah! He kept giving her big hugs!! Crazy kids!!

We moved Hannah to the toddler bed and she's been sleeping in it... kinda, we found her asleep on the floor a  couple times, but lately she has been sleeping with the baby monitor, it's really rather funny. Mario and I will be sitting down stairs and have the monitor on and then we'll her all this movement and then breathing.... that's when we know she's sleeping with it. It's sooo funny! After she falls asleep we got take it and put it back on the night stand so we don't have to listen to breathing all night! LOL!
