Hi Everybodee!

We've had quite a week, what with Chrissy and Jon moving out, and Aubrey and Mark coming to Boise! So much fun! Father's Day was fun - Sunday dinner here, and Chrissy made cupcakes with the girls to look like BBQ'ing - so fun! Then the girls helped me last week make a playroom out of the downstairs bedroom. They have so much fun in their own space now. (Woe - too many "funs" in that paragraph, but what else can I say but FUN!)

And I know we are all looking forward to the next few weeks. I will miss you all in Utah - and know you will have a great time. Thanks Lisa for hosting the party! And then I'll be rested, and we will have a wonderful time here. Eva requested going to "the beach" so you better believe I'll find one :)

Love to all!

Joyful!

 

 

 

 

Here are the other pictures of our sweet Joy! We just got back from a really fun evening with the Elvidges (my friend Melynie and her family). They moved to this area right after we did and it has been so great to have them nearby. We will miss them a lot when we move. BethAnne is quite heartbroken to leave Meg, Melynie's daughter who is her age. She says she is going to email her every day. Dear friends are one of life's most precious gifts. :)

Love,
Aubrey

Happy Sunday

Hi Everybody,

We are moving to Boise on Wednesday and hopefully we'll be closing on our new house on Thursday. We're very excited and busy getting ready. Joy is very adventurous these days, especially for an eight-month-old. She can pull herself up on things and today she tried to climb the stairs. When my other kids were this age they weren't even crawling. She's really good at getting into the standing position, but not good at getting down gracefully. So we are putting a lot of energy into keeping her safe. Everything else is good. I wanted to take some pictures of Joy because it's been awhile. Here's one and I'll do another post with only pictures. Have a great week! I can't wait to see many of you soon!
Love,
Aubrey

Grace Comedy

Here are some recent conversations with Grace.

Grace- I want to go to Grandma's house.
Me- We'll visit Grandma in a few weeks when we move there.
Grace- Grandma is not a bunny.
Silence as I puzzle over the statement
Me- That's true.
Grace- The Grandma on Max and Ruby is a bunny.
Me- Oh...right.

Grace- I want to be a Scout when I grow up.
Me- Oh, a Girl Scout?
Grace- No, a Cookie Scout!

Have a great weekend!
Love,
Aubrey
