I am not as faithful at my blog as I would like...
But I've worked on this little blog for 6 years so I can't let it fail now!
Here are the latest happenings with our family...
Maddie got a motorcycle. Heaven help us!
The bike came with a heavy duty helmet, which I'm thankful for.
Motorcycles just scare me to death!!
Emmie has been having a lot of ear trouble She had
her 5th set of tubes but in a month or so ago. After that surgery
she was still having a lot of ear pain. We determined it was from water getting
into her ear that couldn't drain out properly. Water was getting in, even with just showering.
So... she had some fancy ear plugs made that she has to wear to swim and even shower.
They have made a huge difference in her life :)
Talbie ended her Jr. year being elected to Student Council for next year.
She's really excited and will be working with the best group of kids for her Senior Year!

More on Emmie...
Emmie had to have 2 permanent teeth pulled in preparations to getting braces.
We worried this would happen with all our kids because I had to have 4 permanent teeth
pulled when I was young because there wasn't room in my mouth for all of them.
With Maddie, Talbie, and Bronson, they were able to "stretch" their mouths
starting at a young age. It wouldn't work for Emmie :(
Emmie with her friend Crystal at the end of the school year dance festival
Visiting grandma at the rehab facility. After Mary took a horrible fall, she
was admitted to a rehab facility. Her last day there is tomorrow and tonight
we are all getting her settled at her permanent home/care center at Jamestown. I think
she will really enjoy it there.
We have a BEAUTIFUL new bike trail by our house call the
Murdock Canal Trail. It an old canal system that they covered up
and made a trail that goes from near our house in Orem - all the way to Lehi.
You could even connect to another trail in Provo so you could technically go
over 40 miles on this trail. Dave, Emmie, and I rode it the other night and loved it!
This picture makes me smile every time I see it.
Maddie and her life long friends, Jessie and Maddie
think they are starting a band. Jessie is a fabulous pianist but Maddie
and Maddie don't really play an instrument. They look cute though, don't they :)
Talbie's grades her Jr. Year.
I have to brag a little about her because she is such a hard worker!
Last, but not least - I love pictures like this I can snap of my kids.
This is was late at night, Dave and I were going to bed, but they
stayed up laughing and talking together. This particular night they
were playing "Would you rather..."
The classic one was Bronson would rather lick a cat's butt
than drink my pee. Nasty, I know - but funny anyway :)
