A Little Dirt

Ok seriously. Do you have to pour dirt on yourself? This was Connors favorite past time at our reunion this summer. Every time I turned around this kid was dirty. There was a reason I only packed navy blue and black clothes for him. He was happy and that is all that mattered. Connor had a great time with his cousin Tyler who is younger but bigger than him. (Everyone is bigger than him.) I asked his mom how big Tyler was. She said 43 pounds. Connor then turns to Tyler and says "so I hear you are 43, I am 4." Comments like this make this dirty kid bearable.

Bird Flu

So it is hard to see what this picture is so let me just tell you. Connor found a dead bird at primary softball. His dad then told him to pick it up and show it to me. Brad was a good 200 feet away from me with his nifty camera ready. This would be Connor showing me the dead bird and me freaking out. Later I was asked by siblings if Connor was going to get the Bird Flu. He ended up not feeling too well a few days later. It had nothing to do with the bird but I of course blamed Brad for telling his son to do such a foolish thing. The problem is there were other fathers watching the "little joke". (I must admit it was pretty funny!)

Triplets and Dandelions

Ok so this is going to be a problem. School starts in a one week and this is what Elli loves to do. Sleeping in until 8:30 or 9:00 makes for a happy girl. This whole 6:30 a.m. thing is going to be rough and we may not see her cute dimples as often as we would like. Her summer has consisted of sleeping and watching T.V. She however began to help out with Joyce and Kerry Greens triplets. She has gone from couch potato to a baby magnet. She has enjoyed learning how to change diapers, get babies dressed and make them laugh. Hannah has even enjoyed having Elli tag along when she babysits. It is almost like a sister bonding time...almost.

Elli had a great time at our family reunion in Island Park, Idaho. Cousins and dandelions. What could be better? Thank goodness Brad has such a good camera to capture the moment.

Cell Phone

If you need to contact Bethany you will have to schedule an appointment. She is very busy. She can't even put down the cell phone to get a picture. She is very busy designing things on the computer and running her own business. It is called Bethany Dr. She has recently received her own bedroom. She got kicked out of living with her sisters. She couldn't stay out of all the big girls items such as make-up, clothes, music, etc. It has worked out well but somehow she still ended up with pink eyeshadow on when she went to church today. Interesting how that happens.
