The whole reason behind the haircut was Dora so this is how Anna dressed for the next few weeks complete with backpack.

Fourth of July...

BBQ with family and then fireworks...it was a much needed nice relaxing day together.

Beautiful Long Blonde is all Gone...

Anna has been begging since Christmas to get her hair cut like Dora. I wanted to give her what she wanted, but I love her hair and I love doing it in pigtails and braids and curling it for Sunday mornings, so after much inner turmoil I caved so here are the befores and afters.

She loves her new hair cut an I think she is adorable.

Summertime...Finally...

Summer has been a long time coming so when it arrived we were itching to get out  We spent a great day at heritage park pretending to be pioneers...

Riding the train

















Watching the blacksmith at work.

One of the best parts of summer...playing outside!

Last Day of Kindergarten...

I cannot believe Jacob's kindergarten year has come and gone. He is getting so big and so so smart. he did really well in school and I hope it continues.

Beginning of June....

Anna gave her first talk in Primary..she was sooooo excited and couldn't wait to get up there and give it. Here is how it went...
There once was a man who was blind.
He wanted to be healed.
Jesus could heal him if he had enough faith.
The man had enough faith and was healed.
When we have faith, we love Jesus and we follow His coimmandments.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
She was so proud of herself and so adorable.


Jacob's end of the year party.

Anna...

Unfortunatley, Anna hasn't had much going on, she is a good kid and happy , but she has been so bored lately...I feel so bad for her. So here is a pic of her so she can be included as well.

Baby Stats...

This little guy had his 4 month check-up today and he is still just as happy and healthy as he ever was. Weighing in at 15lbs 7oz and 25 inches long puts him in the mid-60's percentile...still a good sized baby. Coincidentally he rolled over for the first time, back to front, the day of his check-up and so did Jacob. Unlike Jacob, Cole rolled, front to back, for the first time 2 days ago. I have never had a kid roll front to back first.
