Just some updates:

The past few weeks have been so great! It all started when this lovely woman and her son came to church. They sat in front of our family, and I assumed they were also members. I learned that they were not. And a couple weeks later the Elders started teaching her in our home. What a blessing it has been in my life! I have learned so much, and gained a wonderful friend! Her baptism was this past weekend. It was, of course, beautiful. I am so happy for her and her son. I love them both dearly and feel so grateful to have had the missionaries in our home teaching her, because like I said before, I have learned so much; about our Saviour and his love for all of us, eternal families, a really cool way to remember the 10 commandments, scriptures, and witnessed a really cool object lesson involving fire!! :-) lol

These Elders are great! They have strong testimonies and I know they will be so blessed for serving the Lord for 2 years!!

Aubrey is loving summer! She loves playing in the water. Usually if they don't hit the trampoline first thing in the morning, then it is just to hot for it. Sometimes we put the sprinklers under......Aubrey likes that. Aubrey still loves to sing. I really enjoy listening to her play and hear her start singing the primary songs, songs I didn't even know she knew. She really likes to tease Wesley (and all the older boys for that matter) and can definitely stand her ground now. She is not afraid to beat the daylights out of anybody that messes with her. And then she can turn around and be so sweet playing babies and dress up.

We are constantly saving this girl from dangerous situations. She has fallen down and over and in and out of so many things! She is brave and curious and that is stressful for me. I am exhausted trying to make sure she is safe all day long! I don't hover....really. But sometimes wonder if I should. She is such a sweet heart though, and is so grown up. She loves to play with her older siblings. She loves animals, and playing Polly Pockets with Aubrey. She loves to sing and dance and laugh.

We had this dove, I think it is a dove, nest on our fence. I waited and waited to see the babies, and then went out one day and there was nothing there! The mama was gone, the babies were gone, and there was no evidence of shells.?? I just hope nothing got them, and that they just flew away!!

Something I meant to post a while back.... Wesley got to participate in the announcements at school one day. He was really excited to do it, and did a great job.

Wesley is enjoying the summer break and doing great with swim team! He improved his times at the last meet...although I am not sure where he is at. I will post after we go to practice Tuesday. He has won some ribbons and is enjoying the season. Divisional is this weekend, so we will make sure to post about that.

Wesley and Aubrey are both participating in summer gymnastics. We started last week, and Wesley liked it. Aubrey is just continuing on from the spring.

Brady and I are just tired. Someday we may get some good sleep. lol
