Mally Turns 6!

Mallory has been asking for a 'animal' birthday party for months now. She finally got one. We played 'pin the nose on the dog' and made animal puppets out of paper plates. It was a lot of fun. It took her 6 blows to blow out her 6 candles. Do you think she still gets her wish?

Saturday... Lots of family time. 'Loads' of fun.

On Saturday we went for another load of rocks. We spent the morning loading the trailer. The kids were great help. My grandma Toni came with us and when the tires were looking a little flat I fired her. She was stopping to pick rocks up all the way back to her car. She makes me look like a wimp.

Saturday.... In the middle

After we had loaded the trailer with rocks, we came home for some lunch and the kids flew the kite the peters brought to them last spring. The wind was just right. It was really easy to get the kites up and flying!

Saturday....AFTER

After going to pick rocks for 3 summers we finally have the biggest part of our rock garden finished! Hip, hip hooray!

It was crazy hair day last week. I had a lot of fun fixing Mally's hair. :o) Preston & I just tried to mess his up. I think it looks cool.

Family Time

Bill's sister has been here from Idaho, and we have been having a lot of fun! We spent the day Saturday swimming and other fun things. Mallory got a hold of my new little flip camera and made this video while we had a house full of people. It begs the question.... "Where was her mom?!" I must add.... if you are prone to motion sickness BEWARE. She is not a steady photographer.

Poetry

Both Preston and Mallory have memorized a poem for a contest at school.... Mally's video is right after she woke up... that is why she is yawning.
