Dancing Queen

Who needs dancing with the stars?! :) Watch her look at herself in the reflection of the t.v. while she is doing the twist. So vain!

Time for More Substance to Our Meals

I gave Jonathan rice cereal the other day for the first time. This was our experience. This is my first time to upload a video and I did it with my ELPH, so we will see. . .
Of course, I failed, so Blake posted the videos on YouTube and then had to show me how to embed them (whatever that means). What would I do without him? Only post pictures, no videos. :)

Bye, Bye Best Car Ever

I sold my beautiful car yesterday. I was so sad! We were just too cramped in it. Poor Blake was always eating his knees. The good news it, I sold my car to a woman who will love it as much as I. So, it's off to California we go to buy an Odyssey. I think we've found a dealer who is going to give us a screaming deal. We're keeping our fingers crossed. I guess we'll know the deal is for real when we drive the van into our driveway!

And, of course, whenever my husband has the camera, there's never a dull moment (and a million pictures to fill up my computer). Jonathan was not amused (obviously).

Raegan's Swimming Lessons

This is Raegan's second year of swimming lessons. What a difference a year makes! She didn't sit on the step the whole time this year and scream bloody murder. She actually enjoyed it and swam like a little fish. It was a great experience!

Not recommended for the bathtub. I think we used about four towels to clean up the water. . .

"Do your star."

The bellyflop queen

Great job, Raegan!

Jonathan's Blessing

Well, I am going to make an attempt at blogging again. I have no idea how you people out there can do it. I barely have enough time to breathe it seems these days (can't even BEGIN to understand how people with many children remain SANE). Jonathan is actually sleeping longer than 30 minutes, I've caught up with grading, and Raegan is eating a snack and watching my least favorite cartoon--Wow Wow Wubzie, so I'm going to give this a shot and see if I have time to finish this post. . .

Jonathan was blessed last fast Sunday, June 7th. Here are a few pictures of our family and of him. Sonja made his blessing outfit. He looked soooooo cute! Blake gave him a beautiful blessing. It was such a wonderful and tender experience to see all of those worthy priesthood holders surrounding my little boy and calling upon the powers of heaven to bless his life. How thankful I am for the privilege it is to be a mother and for the honor of having such an amazing husband who is a perfect father! (I have to say that because he FINALLY put all of our pictures on my computer so I could blog.) Love you, Blakey-po-Blakey.

What a precious, precious smile!

Raegan, Jennifer, Blake and Jonathan

Can you believe his cute outfit?! Thank you, Sonja! It has a little white bow tie that you can't see because he constantly has his hands in his mouth.



OK--so I just had to include these two pictures of my brothers-in-law because I am wanting to embarrass them. :)

Love you Ryan and Tim!
