We would just like to welcome Elizabeth Cole to the family! Holly just got her today for her birthday. She is currently dressed in her summer outfit. Holly really likes her because she thinks her clothes are so pretty. Holly said if she had to live in colonial times she would like to wear Elizabeth's clothes.
Holly is 8 today!! Wow!!! As cliche as it may sound, where did time go? She is having a party later this month and we will go see Kit Kitteredge: An American Girl. She now loves to ride her new bike (she is riding as I type) and was thrilled when she opened Elizabeth, her new American Girl. We love you Holly!! Happy Birthday!!!
Here are some pictures of our yard. Since we had the yard "redone" (due to a flood and a sinking foundation) a few years ago, we have lacked plants. We made up for that this year and planted around 40-45 plants! We just have to dig the garden boxes and we will be done until the fall when we are going to get some more trees. Shawn is tired of digging and I personally HATE sprinklers (too many trips to Lowes and getting the wrong things). We just have to find a good evening to dig the garden boxes and a little motivation!
The tree in the last picture is from our neighbors in honor of Shawn's parents. We have such great neighbors!!
So, on the way home from lunch with my friends (see previous post), the girls were not too happy that they had to go. And since we were driving right past, we stopped at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was actually a very productive outing as we found 2 new gnomes in the museum. We are now up to 5 and there are a total of 13. It makes it a little more interesting when you go over and over to the same place. Happy Hunting!
I was so excited to have lunch the other day with some of the "Sin Sisters." We don't get together as often as we would like, but when we do it is just the same as always. Shauna was in town and we had lunch at Finn's Cafe in Sugarhouse. It was fun to sit and chat and of course, eat. What else would Sin Sisters do? Here is to many more long chats, fondue and waffles and of course some pate!!
I thought we had been doing good in the hair dept. Well, Monday afternoon I noticed that Noelle's hair was different and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Then it hit me that she had bangs!!!! She had given herself a new do'. The good news is that 1. she had already cleaned up the mess and 2. our hair stylist got us in as soon as she could. It is a new look and I will have to learn how to do bangs now. And in the words of Noelle, "At least it will grow out." :)
I just found these picutes of Noelle on my camera. We were in Idaho at Shawn's sister's and their cat just had kittens. Noelle was in love with them. She is our animal lover. She kept going back to hold the kittens. Can't we just keep one of them Dad? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
