Couch: a million dollars; Couch Box: Priceless

This brought back lots of memories for me. I remember when Dad would bring home huge refrigerator boxes from work and we would all have our own "house". This has been endless fun all day for the kids. Poor little Maddie. She tries so hard to be photogenic.

Twin Falls Temple Open House

We went to the Twin Falls Temple open House. These are the only pics we took because it was SOOO hot. Maddie loved all of it. It was so beautiful inside. On the walls of one room is painted a mural of Shoshone Falls. It was absolutely amazing.

The Monster

When Weston was born, he came out screaming. This was the beginning of the life of a little monster. In the words of Justin's sister, Wes does not play, he "just wanders around" creating trouble, I'd like to add! To his credit, he is adorable! And our little snuggler. He takes time out of his playing to come and give a hug and kiss, and then resumes whatever he was up to. He LOVES cars and wheels, and will come and wave goodbye to me before he drives his little car across the couch. He loves babies and other kids and especially loves his big sister, "Didi!".

Little Maddie

Madeline is our prima donna, our diva, our little princess. Her life is a movie, acted out in scenes from various princess shows, a new favorite each week. She recently, much to my happiness, has taken an interest in Toy Story (hooray) and Mr. Krueger's Christmas (yes, in July) and has an imagination like no other. She reminds her primary class the importance of flossing (thanks to dad) and "keeping the door shut because of the air conditioner". She also is number one disciplinarian for Wes, and often is heard saying "NO NO!" (wait, how'd she learn that???) We love her bunches and thank her for her contagious giggle, winning smile, and ability to play on her own for endless hours.

Our Beautiful Bride

Wes loves his big sister- so much that he wants to be just like her and wear pretty dress up shoes. What can you do?

Trip to Seattle

We had so much fun visiting with Kellie's whole family.  Hooray for endless hours of round robin ping pong and Wii Rock Band!  Here are pics of when we ventured out!
