Mermaids













































































































As you can see both Katie and my 2 boys enjoyed watching the Mermaids!!


















































































































































We were all able to go to Denver, CO for 2 days on Wes' days off and while Jeremy was in town. The kids absolutely loved seeing him and wouldn't leave his side. They were so sad every time we went to do something, they would ask "where is Jeremy." They thought that he was coming in town just to see them and do lots with them, but he actually came for training. The first thing we were able to do was go to the Aquarium. Katie was the most excited for this becasuse of the Mermaids. She loves princesses and loves to watch the movie little Mermaid. She had to wear her Ariel outfit and bow (thanks Lou!), thankfully I knew right where they were and they weren't still packed. As you can tell Katie was not the only one that loved the mermaids, of course the boys also loved them. (Typical boys). Besides the Mermaids, they all loved to look at the different fish and turtles and everything else. I know there are lots of pictures, but I hope you enjoy, we all had a great time. More pictures to come for the rest of the trip.

Thanks Brooklyn and Braxtton!





























































































































Katie is so excited...she met a friend, not just one but two that went to the park with her. She asks almost every day if she can have a friend over or go to the park with a friend. Today she was invited to go to Brooklyn's house. They painted their nails, put glitter on their face, colored princess pictures and lots of other girly things. Later we went to Braxtons football practice and Brooklyn was able to come becuase her brother is on the same team. I took Katie, Marshall, Brooklyn and Braxtton (her other knew friend) to the park to play. I just wanted to share these adorable pictures and thanks Jodee. This is what Katie really needed today. She has had 2 really sad incidents happen while we have been here (2 months to the day). First she was in primary and they were talking about missionary work. They handed out pass along card and said to give it to a friend. Katie raised her hand and said "I don't have any friends" and the conversation went on between the 2, but it was just sad to watch her. The next thing was Katie woke up today and just started crying, I went into her room and she was just sitting there and crying and saying "I miss my Grandma," so after playing with her 2 new best friends it ended ona great note, again Thanks Jodee, Brooklyn and Braxtton for the fun day!!
