Not meant to be?

Well, I tried four times to post some more pics and was only able to get one up in the previous post. I'm going to bed.

Embarrassing

Ok, everyone keeps telling me that I need to post more pics and stuff on the blog. I don't get to the computer all that often and when I do I try to make it quick. And then me with a camera- I'm beginning to think it might be genetic to forget the camera. We always forgot the camera growing up and now I still forget the camera. Anyway, tonight I decided to see just what everyone is talking about when they say I need to update my blog. Well, I laughed to myself when I noticed that the last time I posted pictures was over a year ago at a friend's Halloween party, and well now we are going to that same party a year later next week- embarrassing!
I'm not promising that I will still be a devoted blogger as it looks like I attempted that in March of last year and the evidence is quite clear as to what happened with that. But, I will make an effort to catch up. I guess in a way it's lucky that our camera broke because then I can catch up with the past photos.

Yes, We are Alive!

I can hardly believe how much time has gone by since I have posted something, actually, yes I can believe it. I am going to try to get more on top of this though. What is new since October of 2006? Well, Leila takes gymnastics classes. We moved to a new house, a little further from the ghetto. The weather has been awesome! Sam has planted a garden and everything is blooming! We hang our laundry to dry to save money, energy and it is cool to use the forces of nature! Mia is walking and climbing all over the place. The girls sleep in bunk beds. Leila and Mia both had Birthdays. Leila is 3 and Mia is 1. Sam also had a Birthday, he is 29. I got another new calling and so did Sam. I am in Primary and love it. Sam works with the scouts. Two of Sam's brothers got married- Rob married Kristi on Dec 27th and Matt married Amy on March 17th (St Patrick's Day). Sam's sister, Shelli is pregant and due in July. We just got back from a trip to Utah for Matt and Amy's wedding and had a blast. I am sure there is tons more, which is why I need to keep up this blog a little better. Oh, I also started a toy business, you can check it out on www.isellchildrenstoys.com . Well, I hope to get some more recent pictures on here too, but I also don't want to be late for church. So, for now this is the update. I hope I can be better at it, so that we can keep our friends and family somewhat in the loop and hope to hear from all of you too.

Halloween Party

We went to a Halloween/Birthday party for one of Mia's friends. We went with a Wizard of Oz theme. I was pretty excited because I made Leila's dress and just in time. The party started at 1:00 and I finished the dress at 12:15. It reminded me of my college days (getting those assignments in just in time!).

Baby Pumpkin

Erica's friend, Sierra sent the cutest pumpkin costume. It is actually for Leila, but we also thought Mia makes a pretty cute pumpkin.

The Pumpkin Farm

Leila and her friends went on a trip to the Bishops Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland, CA.

Uncle Mick is a Missionary!

We didn't get to go to the Missionary Training Center to see Mick off to his mission, but here are some pictures.

Utah Trip to See Uncle Mick

We got to go on a trip to go and visit Uncle Mick in Utah before he left on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to Chiahuahua, Mexico. The girls' cousins and some of their aunts and uncles were there as well.

Sleep over!

All the grandaughters slept over at Grandma's house.
