Toothfairy

She hasn't even started Kindergarten yet! Carrie didn't lose any teeth until the 1st grade! And her new tooth is coming up right behind! She's so excited! Carrie helped her type up a letter for the tooth fairy, and she got TWO dollars! The toothfairy also left a note that said she could tell that this tooth wasn't brushed EVERY single morning and EVERY single night, so try harder to remember from now on!

Sweet Stuff

Rachael went with me to the grocery store last night. I passed the hostess stand, and grabbed a package of cupcakes. I selfishly tried to hide it from her in the cart, but when we got to the checkout, she said "What's that, mom?" So I told her it was for us to share. You know, in the car, before we got home. She said "You and me can split one, and we can save the other big one for Carrie." What a little sweet heart, huh??? Well, then, as we're splitting our one cup cake, she tasted it and said, "Hmmm, that's not half bad!"

Cabin Fun

Last weekend we went to these AMAZING fraction cabins in McCall that our friend owns/develops. Timber Crest. They're INCREDIBLE! And we got to stay there. Flat screen TV's, 3 fireplaces, if I were an experienced blogger, I would've taken pictures of the cabin (see link), but I only got a few of the kids. We invited our friends up, also, Todd & Brandee. Their daughter Riley is Carrie's best friend. They have four kids and are SUPER fun to hang out with!

Amy sitting up at only 6 weeks old! The couch is just right so that she can pretend she is big.

We didn't see Kaden much, he was outside riding his "bike" the entire time!

After all that riding, he was thoroughly exhausted!


We hope to go back there, soon! We had such a great time! And next time I'll take more pictures!

Father's Day

I asked Daddy to hold the baby while I got dinner in the oven before we left for church, and this is what I came up to find.

Here's the little angel smiling/almost laughing!

We had a nice Father's Day. We tried to get Daddy breakfast in bed, but you have to get up pretty early to do that, so we had to send him back to bed at 7:30 for his breakfast. We all went to church, and then came home to a nice dinner with Ammon's parents. We missed all the other Dad's in our lives, though. We got to talk to them on the phone, but wished we could see them in person.

Somehow I did not get pictures of all five kids with Daddy. Shame on me. Here's a cute one of Rachael with her pa pa, though.

I'm so grateful for all of the fathers in my life. Especially the father of my children, and the wonderful man that he is. But also my own Dad, my second Dad......my Step-Dad, Grandpa, and my third Dad.....my Father In Law. I'm indeed blessed with all the wonderful fathers I have.

Am I a blogger?

I keep telling Heidi that I can't blog because I have nothing to write about. She said just write about what I do, and then I'll find myself doing things just so that I can blog about them.

Well, summer has begun. Carrie has swim team every day, and the littles have summer preschool M-W-F to save my sanity. Amy and I are going to get our exercise by walking around the park on those days while Carrie swims. I'd like to start tomorrow, but I have my 6 week doctors appt...which I'm not really looking forward to due to having to step foot on a scale, but oh well.

For summer fun so far, we've gone to my sister's graduation. Here is Emma riding a bike at Grandpa Jensen's house. She was pretty pleased to find he had bikes and toys!

Kaden was pretty happy to find bikes, as well. And no, he doesn't care what color it is!

Carrie is doing her favorite thing...holding her little sister, Amy, who is 5 weeks old in this photo!

And here is my litte Rachael (Rae Rae) looking just as sweet as ever! Notice her hair! I had a lady do it right before I had the baby, and it'll last til AUGUST! SWEET! I've done braids on her before, but I'm not as good, mine only last 1-2 months.
