Belle Gets Baptized

 Josh and Belle are second cousins and are total frenemies.  Poor Josh is the ONLY BOY most of the time when we get together with my cousins.  He is flanked by 8 girls.  They torture him and terrorize him and love on him and try to kiss him.  He hates it.  I told him he will love it when he is older and gets set up with all of their friends.  He disagrees.

 Belle was baptized so they put their differences aside and loved each other for the day.

 The Fargo cousins were in town so we had a motley crew. 

 This is my extraordinarily cute nephew/cousin, Ethan.  He turned 18 and that kind of freaked me out because in my head he is little.  This is not unusual for me.

Bryn and Sarah were born one day apart.  They are beauties!

Kindergarten Graduation 2012

Clara graduated from Kindergarten this year and we all went to her little ceremony where they sang songs and waved a lot!  These pictures aren't in any particular order.

Since we have decided to homeschool, I wanted to make sure I got a picture of my kids with Mrs. Watson.  She is such a wonderful principal and loves these kids so much!

Hanging Out with the Pretty People!

 I have some ridiculously beautiful friends that I love and adore!  When Jennifer Hudgins comes into town, we all go out to dinner and giggle and laugh a great deal.  They are also all tall.  Well, Jen isn't - she just wears 4 inch platforms.

 Rachel does handstands several times a day.

Rachel and I have been through a lot together over the past two years.  I am infinitely grateful that she came into my life and that we are such great friends!

Kindergarten Field Day

On the last day of school, the Kindergarten did a Field Day.  It was a little bittersweet for me to watch Clara say goodbye to her friends, knowing that she would be starting homeschool in the Fall.  They had water games and we had a picnic and then went home and partied because school was finally OUT!
