Kayaking

For playgroup yesterday we went to Egin Lakes out by the sand dunes and let all the kids play in the water for a few hours. All of my friends up here kayak a lot and so they brought their kayaks to the lake (which is very shallow) and all the little kids took turns "kayaking" - they actually did a pretty good job and decided they would really like to learn how next year. It was a little bit cooler and my little Whitney had blue lips and was shivering but refused to get out until I told her it was time to go home.





Livvy has started to like her bouncer a bit and actually fell asleep in it yesterday. She also slept from 9:30 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. this morning. It was great - Jeremy always the optomist - told me not to count on her doing it again. I wasn't planning on it, but a girl can dream, can't she?



A couple of nights ago I had just finished taking a bunch of pictures of Olivia and decided I'd better snap a couple of the twins - these are the poses they pulled when I asked them if they wanted their pictures taken. What a couple of cheese balls.




One last thing - I wanted to congratulate my cousin Austin on getting his mission call. He is heading to St. Louis, MO in August. We are so proud of him - he just graduated from high school and will be attending BYU on a football scholarship when he gets back. Great things happen when you put the Lord first and trust in Him. Congratulations again Austin!

What a fun activity for your girls to do! Your girls are natural models.

AND we love him because he is famous, and because he is grandma's favorite. Send some of that sleeping dust my way, will you?

Yeah, she was up this morning from 2 - 4. I must have a defective bottle of the sleeping dust :).
