Warm Weather Means It's Time to Set Up the Pools Again!

A Nice Visit From the Jarvis Grandparents on Conference Weekend

Julie's a lucky girl to have two wonderful grandmas! The kids love to play the Apples to Apples Bible edition on Sundays.

Although we homeschool, Katie and Jefferson often attend activities at the highschool. Anthony and Jefferson hold their basketball awards upsidedown. They got to play on the same team this year. Jeff coached and it was nice. Anthony loves to build with Kinex, as you can see.

Nice Weather Equals Picnics and Naps on the Front Lawn

Roadshow 2008

Jeff and the four big kids did an awesome job in the Stake roadshow. My biggest regret was not being able to get a picture of Anthony in his Superman costume (I was wresting with little ones away from the camera). He was truly impressive. Katie sang a great solo and got an award for "Best Actress" for the Stake.

Slice of Life...

"Ring pops" make good lip stick for seven year olds. Below, Parker proudly sits on his throne. We are thrilled our youngest is now in underpants. When he stops having #2 accidents, we will throw a huge potty party.
I painted our living room walls to freshen them up. The next day Preston took a sharpie and decorated one of them. When asked why, he replied "Don't you like my hieroglyphics?" Yes Preston. I actuallly do! But even more on PAPER. We left it there to admire for two weeks.

Our Anniversary Date at the Delectable One Fifteen Broiler!

We had heard about this restaurant from several people and that you HAD to have a reservation because the food and ambiance were so good. It was indeed spendy, but worth it. Jeff had the most tender savory steak of his life, and I enjoyed a seafood dish. The crab stuffed mushrooms were too yummy, and of course, even I didn't resist tasting a perfect New York cheesecake.
