Shae and JR's Wedding

Shae and JR got married September 25, 2009. They were sealed in the Newport Beach Temple.

Everything was beautiful! They are a great couple.

Bill and "the dude" just hanging out. The dude is sporting his totally hip tuxedo bib-fashionable yet functional. He slept most of the night, so that was nice.

The reception was held on a yacht that sailed through Newport Harbor. I was the matron of honor and the girls were flower girls. Bill was a good sport and kept track of the kids while I did my sisterly duties.

The girls and Baboo Sherwood (grandpa). Maddy and Baboo were dancing machines!
It was a great day.

Chase-man, Pat Pat and Breezy

Lake Havasu -Bill's Birthday

For Bill's birthday we took the boat to Lake Havasu. We rented a house and had a great time.

Mr Bill, 37 years old, and his younger wife :)

Miss P lost her tooth right before the trip. A few days later she lost the other top tooth.

The dude was such a good sport on the trip. It was so hot we had to put him in the water. He LOVED it! He is squeezed in that life jacket.

M jumping of the cliffs-the girls were soooo brave!

Mr Bill jumping off the highest cliff-he is crazy!

We had a great time just playing in the water-did I mention it was HOT!

Just relaxing in the tube. Later that day Bill took Maddy in the tube-they fell out and she was NOT happy!

Emery was the first one off the cliff

Tiny P-nice form

First Day of School

School started for the girls. I LOVE the beginning of school. I always have. I love school supplies, all the pens, paper, markers, crayons and folders. It was so much fun to shop for all the stuff. I think I enjoyed it more than the girls.

P is in second grade this year. Her teacher is Mrs. Silverman. P likes her so far.
She said "she is strict but she has a treasure chest."

Some of the cute girls in her class.

E & M on their first day.

Second year of pre-school. Their teacher is Mrs. Aguirre, they love her. When I picked them up they told me they did not get any time outs. The teacher did tell me that they beat each other up. I figure it is better that they pick on each other instead of another kid. :)

The Dude-5 months

The Dude is now 5 months old. He is about the size of a 9 month old!
He has started eating rice cereal-yum!

He is the drooling machine-we go through multiple bibs a day. He rolls over to his stomach but can't get back. He also screams like a girl-hopefully that will change by the time he goes to school. :)

Happy Birthday

My dad-August 2nd, my grandpa-July 19th and I-July 18th celebrated our birthdays together. We had lots of family there, we had a great time.

Dad 63- Grandpa Lyle 88- Me 35

Dave, Breezy, Wyatt, Tiny P and Mr Bill

Shae and JR-newly engaged-the night before

Pat Pat and Maddy and Emery-they are reading the Very Hungry Caterpillar-the twins LOVE that book, Pat Pat hates it because for some reason we have the GIANT size version and it is difficult to hold the big book and the girls.

Britt, Emery, Maddy and Jaycee

We are soooooo excited! They are getting married September 25, 2009

Future Builder

A friend of ours was giving away her Lincoln Logs. Her son had outgrown them and I assured her that my girls would take care of them and use them. Tiny P and her dad have been having great time creating houses. It is fun to watch them work together. This house had multiple rooms, doors and windows.
