More of Jon's birthday morning before they left for girls camp.

Kanien was at girls camp for Jon's birthday. Jon and Marcella drove up to girls camp that day. In the morning while Jon was getting ready to go Marcella and I went to the store so Marcella could get him a present. She picked out several different kinds of gummies - sour and not sour, some salt and vinegar chips and a card. The card she wanted was a fathers day card but she wouldn't let me put it back so I crossed out happy fathers day and wrote happy birthday. she liked the outside of the card it had rockets on it. I don't know why she wanted that card so much. she carried the bag into the house and we called Jon downstairs to open it. I didn't get very good pictures but here they are.



She had not had breakfast yet and wanted some gummies and then some chips and Jon told her she had to eat breakfast first which she didn't like. After breakfast she got to have chips and she sat on the stairs with the bag of chips and ate some.

Rosalee is opening her presents with the help of Marcella! I can never get these posts on in the order that I want them to show up on the blog so you get what you see in the order that they show up.

Marcella is also helping Rosalee blow out her one candle!

Lilly ate lunch with Marcella one day. They like to play together and are the same age. Marcella is two weeks older. Lilly was born on Marcella's due date so they were both born 2 weeks early. They are pretty good when they play together. We are working on teaching them to share. They both seem to want what the other one has. Marcella will usually give up what she has to Lilly. They like to swim in the little pool together - not actually swim - just get wet and water the flowers with the water from the pool.

Rosalee had a birthday on May 26th and I'm just barely getting the pictures off of my camera onto the computer. I think she was kinda sad that day because none of her family was around - they had a few mixups. We tried to make it happy for her. We (Kanien, Marcella and I) made her a candy bar poster, made cupcakes, had a couple balloons and some presents. We took her out to eat along with David to Fiesta Quadalahara (don't know how to spell it!) It was fun.


Kanien putting frosting on the cupcakes.

Here are the pictures of Nathan and Amy's baby that was born on May 21, 2007. He weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and was 21 inches long. He has quite a bit of hair and Nathan put it into a mohawk! I took more pictures but these are the only ones that turned out. Nathan took tons of pictures and he will be posting them on his blog sometime in the near future. Amy comes home either tomorrow or Wed. and they will give their precious little baby to Jer and Jen the family that they picked to raise their baby. It is a happy/sad time for all of us. It is happy in the fact that we were able to see him, hold him and spend time with him and knowing that he is going to a good couple who is so excited to love him and raise him. They are planning on keeping in touch with Nathan and Amy. We love Nathan and Amy and hope that they can have peace in the decision that they made at this difficult time in their lives.

This is ready to bloom anyday now. Remember last year how it only had one flower on it. This year it has several and I can't remember what this is but it does come back every year bigger and better.

More pictures of the yard and the house. Notice that half of the maple tree doesn't have leaves on it.

One of socks favorite places to be is sitting on the motorcycle and the other place is on top of the roof of my car. I didn't get a picture of that. Marcella thinks it's funny that the cat likes to sit on the motorcycle.

some of the flowers that we have out front.

Marcella would hold the scoop in one hand and with the other hand she would pick up the sand and put it into another container in the sandbox. Then when she was done playing in the sandbox she was walking to the swings and did not like the feel of sand in her shoes so we had to take her shoes off and empty out the sand and clean off her feet.

Jason was blowing bubbles for Marcella to step on. she wasn't too interested in bubbles at that time.

this is of her throwing water on me and thinking it was so funny!

Kanien came over today and left Marcella with me for the evening while they went to the Temple. I took a bunch of pictures of her playing in the pool, playing in the sandbox and of the yard for dann to see. so here goes I think I have 34 pictures to put on. It was a little cold at first but once she got in she thought it was great. She wouldn't get in so I went and stood in it and said come on I'll hold your hand and you can get in so she did and then I couldn't get her away from it. she would get in and out. She liked the cup that she is holding and she was laughing hysterically because she would fill that cup with water and then throw it on me. I was standing so that I would block the sun from being on her. I used sun screen but it's old and I didn't want the wrath of Kanien and Jon if she were to become sunburned. when she would throw the water at me sometimes it would get her on top of the head and her hat was soaked by the time we were through. She wanted to take it off and I told her that if she did we would have to go in the house so she put it right back on.
