Elliot is still rocking the suspender look. Even with his sport pants. Especially on school days when he wants to look his best.

And these two are cute little buddies that make me happy.

Pictures and movies speak for themselves 🙂

Love, Love, Love that this little car and trailer make him so happy.

We’ve been practicing with intonation and vowels. So fun to see her getting better!

That some one knows the Bippity Boppity Boo Song! 🙂

That is Grandma Phillips on the phone, and Lorelei is obsessed with the the princess and their songs. It is a good thing someone knows the words to the ‘Cinderella Song’, thanks Grandma! 🙂

A house full of friends (and their shoes) and happy joyful laughter. 🙂

I love seeing how excited my kids get over new books.

Usually the kids come with me to the library and choose their books, but one night after the kiddos were in bed, and Toph had work to do at home, I needed to return a book, so off to the library I went. Once there I couldn’t help but find books for the kiddos. AND The kids were so surprised to see the books I had chosen out for them in the morning. I love seeing their surprise over the little things.

Truman even read over 1/2 of them outloud to Lorelei 🙂

The following week, was the school library book fair. As always we found a few books to take home! Here is Elliot pushing everyone home…

Including this one called Eli, that Elliot LOVES 🙂 !

Love new books!

Love that her hair is getting long enough that I can braid!

Wish I had better pictures. We went thru a few weeks of pouring rain and the boys walked everyday with their cute umbrellas.

It was so fun as we watched them walk to school and watched for their umbrellas as they came home.

The older I get the more I appreciate conference and the beautiful, wonderful messages that I receive while listening to our leaders our church.

These conference packets were the best ones yet or our boys. They had a poking activity that they loved.

Our little bed head 🙂

Sunday morning tradition of sweet rolls and omelets is always a favorite!

The kids always love the candy tradition…one treat after every speaker.

Lorelei was happy about getting her fingernails painted.
Day one: Pink

Day two: Sparkles

As always I can’t wait for the Ensign to be printed so I can read the words and learn!

The next morning, up at 4:45 and off we went…
Here’s the Utah sign…

And the kids were excited again to be eating breakfast in McDonalds, this time in Price, in their Jammies….

This one even had a play place! 🙂

And we made it home! 6 hours of driving is a piece of cake when the kids behave so well (And sleep!)!
