Emily's 5th Birthday

For Emily's 5th birthday we had 7 kids over for a water party. Every game and activity included squirting Bryan, which the kids loved! Emily said her favorite part was musical towels and Ashley said her favorite was eating cupcakes (which she didn't eat, but just ate the candy off the top). We were so glad to have family there to help out!For her birthday Emily asked for a sandbox and that is what she got. It's underneath part of the clubhouse/swingset in our backyard. As I swept all the sand off the bathroom floor I wondered if having sand inside the house should inspire me to give up sweeping altogether.
The other thing Emily wanted for her birthday was breakfast in bed. It was her first time and she loved it! Her requests were waffles, fruit and chocolate milk. Also, last week she found out from the dentist she has a loose tooth on the bottom right.

Aaron's Blessing

We had Aaron blessed in church last Sunday the 19th. Bryan's parents flew in from Houston, Bryan's brothers had just moved back to Provo from Texas, his grandparents and sister Stephanie's family came and my brother Garrett stayed after working at EFY. We had a house full of love and good food. In Aaron's blessing he was blessed with a sunny disposition and an even temperment. After all of the drama from the girls, we are excited about a child who will add some calm to the mix.
