All Girl

Bethany is all girl (and some days her being "a girl" drives me crazy!!!!).
I went to the store the other day and she came with me and wanted to wear her "sandals"--actually her little black church shoes. She put on a necklace, her shoes and her purse and then was telling me how her shoes and purse matched.
Where did she come fron ? :) ?
She also has the moods of a girl.
However, she is not a priss (thank goodness) although she is a girl and loves her dresses and pink she wants to be outside up in the hills/mountains and climbing trees (even in her dress) and give her a mud puddle anyday.

4th of July 2008

Once again--no photos!!!

It was a pretty good 4th--Parade in Richfield (maybe its time we skip that?), then to the Richfield park where Talmage got to climb a rock wall--he loves those and we are just waiting until Bethany is big enough to fit into the smallest harness as she is our climber. Bethany then went through one of those bouncy mazes by herself (she is so good and brave--although it was a struggle getting all bounced around; mom had to get in for a moment to help and I didn't think I was going to make it out). Talmage also got this cool bow-n-arrow set that he shares with Bethany until dad gets her one made. We then went to Joseph for lunch and a few fun things then home to rest and cool down (that was desperately needed) and back to Joseph for Fireworks. I'm so glad that Joseph does fireworks--I love them and would hate to have to go to Richfield for that--too many people over there these days.
My only regret on the 4th was I didn't get a picture of the kids in front of the flag--every single year since Talmage was born I have got a picture of him on the 4th of July in front of the flag on the front lawn (which ever lawn we had)--but they skipped my moms lawn this year so no flag here and we were going to use the neighbors flag/lawn but didn't make it (sleeping kids, bad planning by mom). I did get a picture of them while waiting for the parade s not a total loss.
