So guess who loves bath time?

Raisin Feet

And the splash park.

And his Sissy.

I hope you are having a great summer. A neighbor down the street from us gave the kids a really good sized pool last week. They have been in it non stop since. Does that count as bathing? ;)

Seven months. I decided that still pictures would not do Burke justice. So here are 3 videos of my boy.

Sleepy boys~

Overload of fun!

TERRIFIC TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So after we came home from the girls school carnival with extra tickets I had an idea? Shocking, I know! I thought about a rewards system with tickets. Good behavior, get a ticket. Bad behavior, loose a ticket. I told the kids we could earn things. They thought of things like going to Chuck E. Cheese. I was thinking more along the lines of computer time. But we will work those kinks out as they come. On Saturday we decorated my canning jars to prepare for the TERRIFIC TICKETS!

I went to Zurchers and bought a HUGE ream of tickets for $3. Not bad! As you can see it seems to be working. We have yet to take any away. They even earned one while sitting nicely while our home teachers were here. AWESOME!

On Saturday the girls and I sold GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! The only downer is that is was WICKED WINDY!!!!!!!!!!!! They are in Daisy Troop 383. It's for Kindergarten and 1st graders. So far they have had a really great time. It has turned out to be a little more pricey than I thought, but I think we will stick to it til they turn 8. Then they will go into Activity Days at church.

Burke has discovered his fingers. Great.

These are bookmarks I made with my (our) new Cricut. They were for the sisters I visit teach. The message was about the women in the home being knowledgeable in the Scriptures, and to preserve their own scripture reading. Here is the message that was on the back:

“… Every woman can be a gospel doctrine instructor in her home, and every sister in the Church needs gospel knowledge as a leader and teacher. If you have not already developed the habit of daily scripture study, start now and keep studying in order to be prepared for your responsibilities in this life and in the eternities.” Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president.

Here is a slide of the Chief Joseph Luau Carnival! The kids had a blast!

Here is Burke's skin before the Dermatologist:

Here is his skin AFTER the Dermatologist: :):):):):):):) It was a staph infection. Awful. Awful. Awful.

When the girls were little I taught them to make all the "feeling" faces. Graden has caught on and does the same! It's one of my favorite things that he does.

happy.

angry.

sad.

sleepy.

Taylor is working on her homework. I have really sucked at homework lately. The girls don't feel like doing it, therefore, I don't feel like bugging about it. We finally got caught up the other night.

Nat decided to work on dishes. I am dreading my water bill.

Raisin fingers.(blurry sorry!)

The kids also invaded my kitchen the other day. They thought it was pretty cool!

Here is my sweet Burkey Boy. He is still such a good baby. He likes his bouncy chair, and his Johnny Jumper.

Camera Hog

So I guess my little boy likes the camera. And here is my other boy that likes the camera as well.

No, Graden does not use a binky. He just likes to be silly!

Burke

Hi G'ma and G'pa~ This is for you to see how big I have gotten! See you in a few weeks for my Blessing and my 1st Christmas! Love ya, Burkey Boy!
