Minneapolis, Minnesota...home for the summer :)

Finally a new post after 4 months!! This is what we've been up to :) (if anyone cares :) We're living in Minneapolis for the summer. We really like it. It's a beautiful part of the country with tons of lakes, running and biking trails, parks, and really nice people. Here are my cute, crazy kids! They may not always like me, but they seem to really love each other!

On Our Way to Minneapolis

First we stopped in Palmyra. We were at the Hill Cumorah, when Camryn started smelling the flowers and Lauren suddenly and inexplicably took her shirt off. :)
Then we stopped at the Sacred Grove. Camryn had been asking to go "where Joseph Smith prayed" ever since she first learned about it. It was beautiful.
Next stop was Niagara Falls. We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. It was such a beautiful day...there was even a rainbow over the falls.
Next we stopped at South Bend, Indiana to see the Notre Dame campus. The kids were so good in the car. We had a really fun time on our road trip. It was fun to spend so much time together and the drive was so beautiful the whole way.

Last Day at Little Folks Preschool in Cambridge

Camryn and Lauren also went to Little Folks Fellowship Nursery School 3 mornings a week. They loved it. This was their last day before we headed to Minneapolis!

Johnny Turns One!!!

Happy Birthday Johnny! I can't believe Johnny is one! This year has flown by! I feel like I love him more every day, if that's possible. Things I love about Johnny: he loves to cuddle and give kisses, when he hears the word dance or music--he starts bopping his body up and down. He's so good natured and he loves to laugh. He mostly just played with his cake and threw it on the floor. But his sister's sure enjoyed the cake!

Camryn and Lauren Graduate from Pre-school

Johnny!!! He is the happiest little guy. We all love him so much! He's so cuddly and loving and loves to laugh with his sisters.

Camryn and Lauren's graduation from the campus Co-op Pre-school. They loved it. They called it the "mom's school" because the mom's took turns teaching. They were in the same class with lots of great friends.
This is Camryn's artwork on Lauren's face. This is what happens when they get a little bored. :) And this is beautiful lauren all cleaned up. She is such a loving, kind little girl. She is always concerned about other people's feelings. She is so generous and always willing to share whatever she has. She is also so much fun! I know she will bring joy and fun to my life for the rest of my life. I'm so grateful for my daughters! I love them!
