Texas Trip!

Last weekend I was able to take a quick trip to my sister's house in Dallas! Her oldest, Kyler, was being baptized and her youngest, Mylie, was being blessed! Jon held down the fort while I was gone and all survived! :) These are all pictures from the baptism, which was very nice! If I'm remembering right, this is the first time that both my sister's and I have been together in almost 4 years! We got to do some shopping and just visit! It was a lot of fun!!

Mylie's Blessing Day!

Here is baby Mylie on her Blessing Day! My mom crocheted the dress...it was beautiful! After church I got to take a nap with her and Brinklie decided to cuddle up with us! It was a great trip and it was good to get my loves out on a cute baby...and then give her back! :)

New dress-ups!

Emma got a late birthday present from our friends, Ryan and Wendy! It is a trunk full of Barbie dress-up clothes from the new Barbie movie "Island Princess"! They could not have picked a better gift! We have watched that movie just about every day since it came out a couple weeks ago! Emma was so excited!

"John Mulan Deere"

This is what you get when you have a girl and a boy playing together! I put the kids down for naps the other day and came out to the family room to find Mulan driving Derrick's truck! I just thought it was funny! At least Emma and Derrick are compromising with their toys!

BIG "Boon"!!

For those who did not know...Jon had his appendix taken out a couple of weeks ago! He doing great now, still a little sore sometimes, but all went well! His sister, Andrea, brought him this GIANT Shrek balloon in the hospital and the kids loved it! Derrick calls them "boons"! I finally let the air out of it the other day! I think it would have lasted months if I didn't! But, they had fun while it lasted!
