Diaper house

I was putting away diapers the other day and kate and meg started playing in the empty box. Kate asked me to make her a house and this is what I came up with. They thought it was so fun and actually still play in it and it has been a week.

Wheres Luke???

On the roof! Last night while Rod was moving our car so Bob could leave he noticed Luke on the roof. He came running inside the house and told Aj come help me someone is on the roof..."Patti said who, Isaac... and Rod replied "No Luke". We all went running outside and he was just standing on the roof. He climbed up the ladder on the side of my parents house. He was totally calm and just like what is the problem. Rod said afterwards that for some reason he was prompted to park in the front of the house instead parking on the side like we ALWAYS do. We believe it was Rob up there yelling for someone to look for Luke.

You break it you buy it....

While in Deseret Book with my mom and girls yesterday. Meg tipped over a huge glass frame with vinyl writting on it. She landed right on top of it and cut her wrist. She is ok, but I felt so bad. The people at Deseret Book were so nice everyone around came and tried to help with bandaids, cookies for my crying girls and cleaned up the mess. The best part they didn't make me pay for...I did offer a couple times, but they insisted I didn't need to. I am sure it would have cost me at least $60...but Deseret Book doesn't have the break it you buy it policy....Thanks Deseret Book.

Scared of the Dark?

This was my bedtime conversation with Kate

Kate: "Where is my glow stick" (This glow stick is from the 25 cent machines)
Me: "I don't know it must be lost"
Kate: "My family (stuffed lamb, beaver and blanket) will be scared"
Me: "Family doesn't get scared"
Kate: "When I fall asleep I hear them screaming"

I don't know if this sounds funny, but Rod and I got a good laugh at her.

Happy Birthday Jimmy!

Last night we went down to A.J's house and had a birthday party for Jimmy. We are so excited for Jimmy and Linzi to move home in a couple of weeks. We all know they have had so much fun in Calif...but we have missed having them around.

Sorry Jimmy I didn't get any pictures of you, but I did of your cute Wife with Kate on the horse.

Cannon Reunion

My moms sister and her husband (Roger and Dee Dee) have a ranch up in the Jemez Mountains in New Mexico and the last weekend of July we held the Cannon Family reunion. It was so much fun for my little girls to meet and play with their cousins. We had so much fun sitting on the swings or just laying around chatting on the grass. Kate and Claire became best little buds..they played so well together. This is where they spent a good amount of the time digging in the horse shoe pits.

Megs new thing is to try and climb up over your back.
Kate's new hair cut. She wanted it cut and so we cut about 4 inches off...I think she looks so much older.
Meggie the Piggie.
Jack had a birthday and afterwards the kids were playing with the balloons and they kept popping and from the picture you can tell Meg didn't like them. I know I am a mean mom but I had to get a picture.

Uncle Roger trying to look mean.

Kate loves her Robbie.

This is where Meg spent most of her time. She loved playing on the fourwheelers.
Grandma and Megs.

After the reunion my mom and I and the kids went back to Dee Dee and Rogers and spent a few more days. It was so nice one night we just sat outside. Meg came and grabbed my camera and then when and sat by Dee Dee...then she wanted one with Roger.

Thanks Dee Dee and Roger for a fun week!!!!
