Turing your blog into a book.

My cousin found this website that publishs blogs and she uses her blog as a journaling tool. I thought that I would post it for all of you if you would be interested. I think that I could be a much better journal writer if I could type it. It would be so much faster, plus you get the benefit of having the pictures along with the word. So here is the website. Thank Audra! http://www.blurb.com/create/book/blogbook

Weekend!!

Annalynn wanted me to take her picture so here is what turned out. It is cute of the kids I thought.

Grandpa getting the wagon down for a ride and Blu getting a drink.

The kids love have rides in the wheelbarrow as well. These are some of the fun things that Grandpa does with them.

They got to play in the sandbox as well, but I didn't get any pictures of that. Swing on the swingset.

This last weekend we went to St. George for some fun in the sun. Rustin went 4-wheeling at the sand dunes so we went and spent some time with grandpa and grandma Mangum. Here are some pictures of the kids playing in the backyard. We went on a hike with grandma while grandpa was at work.

Here is a video of the kids with Grandpa Mangum and good old Blu. They had so much fun in the St. George sun and with grandma and grandpa.

Donkey Basketball

Here we are enjoying the fun. You can't see Annalynn to well, oh well. Rustin is ignoring the camera as usual. As you can see my surgery scar is looking much better.

We decided to take the kids the High School sponsered Donkey Basketball game. Talk about the funniest thing you have ever seen. They had 4 games 10 minutes each. The High School students against the faculty. The local business owners against the local farmers. Then they had a winners bracket and a consolation bracket. It was so much fun. Here are a few snaps of the game in progress. The players had to keep a hold of their donkeys at all times. You had to be on the donkey when making a basket. The donkeys wore special rubber shoes so the floor wouldn't be ruined. The kids were free that was the best part of the whole night.

Ryan was complete facinated with the donkeys. It kept his attention the whole time. Very hard for a 19 month old. When the donkeys weren't moving you better believe that he wasn't happy.

Rustin is trying to hide from the camera.

Extremely Tired

Annalynn fell asleep on the floor while coloring. I had to snap a picture of it and share. Her shot and glucose check today must have really worn her out. She doesn't take a nap very often.

P.S. I love my new camera. Hopefully there won't be anymore blurry snaps.

Wow, Annalynn is 4!

Here Annalynn is with her Bear Mill Bear and the baby she got from Grandma Barlow.

Last weekend we celebrated Annalynn's birthday. Rus and I took her the Bear Mill and to Paula's to eat. (She wanted guacomole dip) It was so much fun to see her get excited about the little things. Then she got to have a sleep over at grandma and pa Mangums. She was so happy about that. They took her shopping for some new clothes and to see the new Madagascar 2 movie.

On Sunday we had cake and ice cream with the family. Here she is blowing out her 4 candles.

She missed one on the first try. Here is the 2nd attempt.

Opening some gifts, with Ryan looking on.

This shirt says "I love Candy." This shirt is from Aunt Brittany and her family and fits Annalynn perfectly.

A pose before blowing out the candles.

Here is Annalynn's cake I started it and Rustin finnished it. A man with many hidden talents. Thank you honey for your help.

Annalynn

Here are a few pictures that were taken of Annalynn this summer. I have finally gotten them from my sister-in-law. I just wated to share with you all how wonderful and beautiful I think she is. She is the joy and light of my life.

Sumbeams/Nursery

Today was a red letter day. My oldest started Sunbeams-Big Primary- and my youngest started Nursery.

We were all sick last week so this was the first day for both of them in their new adventures. I had to teach RS so it was hard for me being tied down to RS while I thought my children were in peril. Annalynn started to get tears in her eyes when I dropped her off in Big Primary. "Don't go mommy I want you to hold my hand and sit by me." It broke my heart when I had to tell her that I had to teach my lesson. I just walked out, because I was so upset. She did just fine though.

Ryan's Nursery teacher said, "He is a natural nursery goer." He just went straight to the toys when Rus dropped him off.

So here mom sits thinking that her children wouldn't be able to handle the changes and they did just fine. I guess that is what mom's do is worry about things like that.
