No Picture evidence...

Well, the last month or 2 has been a little crazy, and unfortunately, I can't find our camera, so we don't even have picture evidence! But here's the run down!

Our Stake had an H1N1 Flu scare (as in 15 families had it, and church and stake conference, and all activities were cancelled for 3 weeks...) My Sister Alicia got married, (Yeah we are so excited!) We had a family reunion in Seattle (We drove 14 hours there and back with 4 kids... Thank Heavens for Car dvd players and a very creative mother-in-law!) And Camp Kiesel with the Activity Day girls! Now, we are just trying to dig out!

Grant is just a few days away from being 9 months old- He tries to stand up to everything, climbs on everything, and is just a happy busy boy! he loves exploring and getting into stuff, especially if he can empty it onto the floor! He likes all sorts of cords (like printer cables, and t.v. cables...) cars, tools, and anything that makes noise!

Chloe is 3 and at kind of a contrary stage. She definitely tests her limits and tries to see how much control she can get by just ignoring what I say and doing what she wants! She is very smart and loves spelling her name to people. She also loves to play out side and has endless amounts of energy!

Ellie is getting excited to turn 5 this fall, and go to preschool! She tries really hard to make people happy, I am so glad I got at least 1 kid who is a Pleaser! She loves to play with friends and is very sweet and loving, and always willing to give (or get!) a hug!

Shaylee needs a challenge, or a goal...She likes to play with her friends whenever she gets a chance, but drags her feet if she has to do anything that is not her idea! She does love reading anything and everything from signs we pass in the car to her favorite Junie B. Jones books. She is excited to be starting first grade this fall and asks everyday when we can get ready!

Jeff is loving being a manager, notwithstanding the extra responsibilities...(and the extra hours!) He keeps up the davis arts council website, as well as Grandma Child's family history website in his spare time. He also enjoys being a sunday school teacher for the Youth, and going to Davis Arts Concerts in the park...

Anika is still in primary...A year and a half and apparently they aren't sick of me yet, or I haven't learned everything yet...probably more the latter! I went to camp Kiesel with 3 parents and 17 girls for a whole day and can I just say how early 5:45 a.m. is? Camp was fun, though, and I think the girls had fun too! I really enjoyed going up to Bellevue for the Family reunion, the time was too short and I didn't get to see everyone I wanted to but enjoyed the people I did see! Now we are just gearing up for fall...school, lessons, holidays, birthdays...bring it on!

Well, hopefully we will find our camera so the next update will have pictures to make it more interesting!

We love you all and hope you are doing well!
