Thank you to everyone that was able to come and to all those people who helped make Kru's blessing a special day!!! We love you!!

Zebra Riders

Today Paige was riding Anna's zebra. Anna decided two could play at that game, and why not just jump on board with her...

Anna thought two at a time was great fun, Paige on the other hand was yelling, "No!" Mine!" and "I do it!!" while Anna laughed and threw her body weight around, trying to make Paige comply...

Paige realized the effort was useless...Anna's got 10 pounds on her...

And Anna and her belly were left to ride alone once more...

shamless plug

That's the Number Necklace I've been telling everyone about. Is Kurt #19 for good? Let me know so I can keep some set aside. Ann and Jordan get theirs free since they are my "target market" and they have vowed to spread the word, and the family gets 50% off all jewelry in our collection on an ongoing basis (I'll give you the checkout code as soon as the boutique is up...only a few days now...). Here are some other items in our collection:

Way to go, Tori!!!

Tori was on the front page of the paper in St. George today - Jenn says it was the first time her team (Snow Canyon) beat Dixie High in five years.

Fantasy Football

I created a fantasy football league and need everyone who wants to to join. It doesn't matter if you don't know anything or have never played before. The computer auto drafts your team and then every week you get points based on how well your team does. It's a lot of fun, especially when you beat Kurt. Seriously the more the merrier. But do it soon because the games are about to start.


In order to join the league, go to game front page, click the "Sign Up Now" or "Get Another Team" button and follow the links to "Join a Custom League". When prompted, enter the League ID# and password below.

League ID#: 648822
Password: ilovejohn

This link should also get you there to sign up.

What is this?

John, you aren't alone in wondering what is going on in the BYU apparel department.










I found these and many other disturbing non BYU colored items at the BYU bookstore!

Sunday in Heber

Here are some photos from Sunday at the Heber House.

Kru's Baby Blessing

We will be blessing Kru on Sunday August 31st in Scott & Ann's ward bright and early at 9 am!!! We hope everyone that will be there for the first BYU game the day before will be able to stay around for that too. We will have lunch after at their house, we can't wait to see everyone!

Summer Fun

It's been a good summer - especially the last week when Andrew and Paige were here. Here are some pictures to illustrate...


Sister Larsen told us to "come use our pool anytime!!!" and we have taken advantage of the offer over and over again. Sis Larsen loves it because she gets to see this bathing beauty, the only one I know of who would actually rather have a snack than get into the pool right away. She ate the core, too. (taken on July 4th)


We should insure these legs, shouldn't we?


"But I don't want to sit next to girrrrls!!!!"


Not like the wimpy moms who sit on the side and let the lifeguard worry about it


Uncle Kurt gives the best alligator rides


"I'm just gonna lie here like this and let the chicks at this pool get the eye candy they've all been dying for."


"You taken enough pictures of me yet, lady?"


It only took Mr. Wiggles about 20 seconds to notice her straps and try to dismantle them


Please don't distract her while she's eating - she might realize what she is doing...


There were quite a few hot mommys in our Kru


Lily was exhausted after riding all those water slides


It only took about 67 shots to get one where they were all sort of looking forward at the same time


This is what happens when yogurt meets a toddler fork in the hands of a Let-Me-Do-It Myself 16-month-old


Paige took her clips out of her hair on the way home from the Park City Outlets yesterday which resulted in nuclear hair


To Anna, sunglasses mean we're headed outside, so she now tries to put them on my head to encourage me to venture out. I put these $5.99 Gymboree specials on her yesterday and she wouldn't take them off...until we got outside.


Score! Tutus were on sale at Gymboree outlet.


"You look as adorable as I do!!!!"


"I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty, and witty and briiiiiight!!!"


"Somedaaaaaaay my prince will coooooooome, somedaaaay we'll meeeet agaaaaain...."

Sisters Weekend

Sisters weekend was a lot of fun. Most the pictures were taken on Mom and Jen's camera's, so bugging them may be in order. Saturday night we went to the Dodger game. Grandma didn't come, but Grandpa did. We had a great time and the Dodgers won. The Dodger dogs were tasty as well.

Other Activities:
Red Onion (most people went more than once)
Long Beach Quilt show (Friday, 11-7pm), which was pretty cool. It is amazing how long Mom and Ann can look at things.
Admiral Risty
Hot Tubbing
Sacrament Meeting in Grandma's ward.
Delicious applesauce and cobbler from the apple tree at Grandma's house.

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for hosting us. And to all the husbands/babysitters/grandparents who helped out so we could have girl's weekend with limited interruptions.
