summer fun 2011

I finally got a good picture of here smiling instead of a fake smile

Love it!

Pure Joy!

Mariah stops to pose

I took the girls to the soak pad today. It is so fun to see Mariah not be afraid of water.

One of my most favorite scriptures

"Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted here on earth"

This scripture brings such peace and comfort in such an unpredictable world,  when at times we don't understand the events of this life and we struggle to understand why things happen. I believe that all things happen for a reason, and that we are not in control God is. He knows our hearts, and our desires. He feels our pain and hears our prayers, and sometimes the answer just needs to be as simple as "Be still and know that I am God"

Cianna's preschool picnic

Cianna had a picnic at young living farms today. Her little friend Blake came up and took her hand and off they went. I heard him teaching her how to skip rocks in the water. She asks to play at his house every time they have school. It was just so cute!

kindergarten graduation and Cianna's preschool picnic.

Mariah was very excited for graduation today until we got there. The aide had to lift her to stand up and move her arms to do the motions for the songs. She did whisper her part though.

Tiny dancer

Cianna was so cute tonight at the recital. She told us we could not smile or laugh. Savannah did a great job with her point routine. This is her first year doing point. I didn't get any pictures at the recital because I had to snuggle and cover Mariah's ears the whole time, but she sat made it through the entire time without asking to go home. We took these pictures of Cianna before we left.

Savannah and her friends

had fun today taking pictures of Savannah and her friends. I wish I knew how to take better pictures.
