my yard 2010

After 6 hours of yard work I am finally pleased! Click HERE to see all the hard work accomplished for FHE. I love this yard!

Project Runway

My girls decided to put on a fashion show for me. They made a run-way out of duct tape and pulled out all my high heels. I was surprised the number of coordinating outfits Tori came up with out of large pieces of fabric and she has a natural "strut" down that runway. Maybe I've been looking at this all wrong....modeling instead of ballet?!

All-Star

Benton is our little athlete. He adores any and all things BALL.  Right now his favorite thing to do and talk about is "shooting it." He even sleeps with a ball in his arms every night.  Here he is, in action!

Do they look alike or what?! Tori and Alexa.

 We had a wonderful 4th of July with the Hatch's. Swimming. Movies. Fireworks. Shooting. Bon Fire. BBQ. Baseball game. Shopping. Late nights. Great food. Great company. Happy Fourth!

{birthday wishes}

Tori turned 7 yesterday! Where has the time gone? She was able to celebrate at school with her classmates (and a water fight), with her Grandparents from Arizona, and with her immediate family and Hatch Grandparents, and an impromptu party with some kids from the ward (thanks Rebecca). Lucky girl, she got four parties.

All Tori wanted for her birthday was her own can of whipped cream and IBC Rootbeer. She got her two wishes along with some other fun stuff.

Happy Birthday Tori! You are growing up so fast. I know you were meant to come to our family first. You are so responsible and smart as a whip. We love you so much.
