Zoey and Mikell

It was so much fun to have both babies here at the same time. Nicole is feeding Zoey and both girls are sitting on the couch. They are about the same size now. Zoey is 8 months and Mikell is 7 months. They are so cute. It was cool. David loved playing with both girls. Zoey loved to watch the dog play ball and Mikell loved watching David make faces at her.

Mikell laughing

Mom and dad came up with Meredith's kids. We had Zoey and Mikell sitting on the couch and David starting playing with Mikell. She absolutely LOVED it. It was funny to listen to her laugh. She was having so much fun. David loves to play with the little kids in the family. He is such a cool kid. All the younger kids in the family flock to him.

Ponderings

I have spent today getting the house put back together after decorating the kids rooms. It has be quite a chore. I had the kids help out alot and we got most of it done very quickly. I still have some laundry to get done and dinner to fix, but those things just never go away.
Yesterday in Relief Society I gave the presidency lesson (first lesson of the month). It was on mental illness. I worried so much over it that I got a cold sore! After the lesson was over I had just about everyone come up to me a tell me what a great lesson it was. I even had some people tell me that it was just what the ward needed to hear. It was one of the hardest lessons I have ever had to give. We talked about how the fear and ignorance need to be taken out of our ward families. It was good to finally have an open discussion on something that is so important. Thank you Nicole for coming and being moral support for me. I really appreciate it.
We had a very fun 4th of July this year. Linda and family came up for the weekend and we had soooo much fun spending time with them. We will definately have to do that more often. It was fun to see all the kids during the fireworks at our house. They had lots of fun. Brian made indredible steaks and chicken on the grill. Everyone ate till they couldn't possibly put one more bite in their mouths. I can't wait for the next go around.
We had Thomas come up for the weekend and he did really good. It was a pleasant visit and I am thinking I might even be looking forward a little to the next visit, if it will go as well as this one. Keep praying for him.

Brittany's Room FINISHED!!!!

I finally have Brittany's room all finished and put back together. The center picture shows that we put mirrored doors on her closet. She loved it! The closet has an organizer that makes it easier for her to put stuff in her closet. I havae everything in her room and the posters back on the wall. The posters actually fit right in as they are High School Musical and Hannah Montana. Lily was helping Brittany put stuff back in her closet. The black trim really finishes off the room and makes it look really good.

Trip to Tracy and Bill's

These are some photos of the trip that we took to Tracy and Bill's new house in North Dakota. We had fun seeing the sights along the way and visiting all the different places. I am really happy that we took the time to go and see all the stuff. When we get more pics from Bill I will put some more on.
