Randomness

Here's a few random happenings recorded on my camera.

This is some of Sophia's artwork that she taped to the wall.  I love how she turns our house into an art gallery.

 They were also being silly before church last week.

 Doug was able to catch a few cute more serious shots though.

Last Sunday we headed up to my brother Dylan's house because 7 of my 8 siblings were in the same state at the same time!  We missed you Stu!  Here's my parents with 20 of their 22 grandchildren.  We also took some sibling pictures but apparently not with my camera. 

 We took pictures of cousins that were born in the same year.  Here's Lilly, Kate and Jacob all in 2007.

 And the 2005 babies Sophia and Bruce (who was really excited to have his picture taken!)

 But not as excited as Lucas was! Here he is with Mabel the babies of 2010.

We were lucky enough to bring Kate home with us to sleepover!  She was really excited about sleeping on the top bunk! They just had to have their pictures taken in these outfits because they had on opposites!  It totally cracked them up.

 So cute!  Love these two! (wish I was as tan as Kate too!)

 She wanted her picture taken with Mabel too because she was also wearing pink and white.

This week we also got to trade in some of the reading money the girls have been earning this summer.  Lilly finally got the Cinderella doll she has wanted forever!

Sophia got a princess marker kit but also needed to play with Tangled again since Lilly had Cinderella. (we had also just untangled Tangled's hair which was quite the feat so we needed to document it!)

Last Wednesday we got to go a surprise birthday dinner for my SIL Kim who was here from SC. It was at Thanksgiving point and was quite the fancy affair.  It was really fun and we were lucky to celebrate with her!

They had put together cute gifts for all the kids with had personalized  activity books and crayon boxes wrapped up with a cute tag that said Princess Sophia, Princess Lilly, etc on it.  It was so much work and was so cute!  The kids loved it!

 Here's the birthday girl with her husband (my brother Derik).

We also got to celebrate Tonya's birthday as well.  I'm so lucky to have the best sisters-in-law!  I hope they both had great birthdays!
