I was told by Aunt Pam not to wait until Christmas to post again. Which is exactly what I was planning on doing, since my camera comes off the dock for summer vacation, birthday's (if I remember) and Christmas! Just kidding, but not really. So here is the best I could do Aunt Pam. I will try to do better.


This is a board I made at Super Saturday, I think it is darling. It needs some finishing touches, but this is the main idea. Some of the other ladies were really cute, as well, they were more for their little girls room, with fun bright paper.

I do have boys, but they aren't near as cute :)
Kambree loves CORN!

My girls are so opposite!

Depending on Mckell's mood, Kambree can be her playmate or her worst enemy...sound familiar, any of you sisters?


I think I will post this idea in the "Friend"

If you want your two year old to sit through Family Home Evening, let her lick the brownie bowl clean!



Too bad, she had already had a bath!

An update on the boys:

Darin is playing Flag Football at the Jr. High. They don't play against other jr. high's, just scrimmage with each other. Which is fine with me, and it gives him something to do.

Braden is in 6th grade. He does well in school, so I don't have to get after him about homework, etc. He is going on his first Boy Scout overnighter this weekend.

Travis, is in 4th grade. He is my child that comes home and says, "Mom I don't have any homework, I finished it all." So I kindly tell him to get his homework folder and show me. Then I hear, "Oh yea, I forgot I had to do that."

Cade, is doing well in 2nd grade. I warned his teacher at the beginning of the year, not to expect him to say much. Which she says, "I am glad you told me, because I knew what to expect." But she is good for him and encourages him to speak up!

As for my darling Mckell...I have now become a "mean" mom. The first couple of weeks of school that is all I heard, "Mom you are so mean to me" ; "Mom why are you so mean". It was very comforting. She has seemed to calm down a bit. I am also being introduced to a girl's point of view at school. My boys never got in trouble for misbehaving, not following the rules. Well, two times now, Mckell has come home with "no stamp" in her folder, one for talking and the other for not listening....hmmmm....and I wanted girls!

Kambree, well all I'll say, is she is attached to my hip. She feels very wronged if she HAS to stay with dad, instead of go with me. But I am enjoying her, with no one else to interrupt our time together...except for dad.

Loved the pictures of Kambree--Zach laughed so hard. We've been looking for a way to keep Isaac quiet during FHE. Anyway, the update was great--and guess what? You can post news without adding pictures, so you don't have to wait until Halloween!!

Hip Hip HOORAY!!!! I am so proud of you Alisa! You have such a beautiful family and so much to tell and share, you absolutely MUST continue to write more often. Sarah is right, it doesn't always require pictures. Just tell your "story".
Love you,
Aunt Pam
