My gorgeous girls




I may be biased, but I think my girls are gorgeous. Here is proof. But, like I tell them, it's good to be beautiful on the outside but it's more important to be beautiful on the inside. And they are.

Part three




The last part of our vacation, we stayed with Mom Groberg and took fun day trips. Lagoon, the Eccles dinosaur park and the zoo. Here is evidence thereof.

More vacation


We rode bikes in West Yellowstone. Geoff rode the rickshaw with Mandy and Lucy and I had Eira in a trailer behind a bike.

You've got to roast stuff when you stay at the cabin. So, we did. Hot dogs and s'mores. Geoff showed the girls how to make an awesome fire, too.
And here is my family floating down the river in a canoe. Eira and I stayed back at the cabin and took a nap. Well, she napped, I called my sister and talked books:)

Summer Vacation in three parts




Hello again, after so long:) We had a really great vacation. We spent some time in Island Park, Idaho and in Centerville staying with Geoff's mom and doing things from her house. Here are our shots from horseback riding. Yup, I had Eira in the hotsling. Amanda has been riding her own horse since she was four. We had a great time.

The Cake


Okay, here is the cake. For some reason it wouldn't load the other day. Isn't it magnificent? Yeah, I think so, too.

Happy Birthday Mandy!

Mandy had a great 7th birthday party! I can't believe she is already 7. I remember bringing her home from the hospital, knowing for sure I would break her. At 6lbs 6oz I couldn't imagine anything smaller I'd ever had to care for before. Today, Mandy is so bright, so polite, so creative, so tender hearted. I didn't realize how much I missed her this last school year until she was home all day for the summer! She is so fun. This year, she wanted a Dragon birthday party. Here is the cake and the game the kids are playing is Dragon tag. We had a great day.

Eira trying new things


Here is our Eira eating rice cereal for the first time. She hasn't eaten cereal for a while since she has been sick. We'll get right back on it soon. Who knows, we may even give her some bananas, too. That's us, living on the edge.
