Birthdays again!

Last Sunday we celebrated Brittany and Steven's (Erin's husband) birthday at my uncle Kent's house! We also celebrated Erin graduating ASU! Whoo-hoo! Allie had a blast playing with her cousins, and the dogs and horses. After it was all over there were some sweaty kids and really dirty feet. I overheard Sabrina talking to Joshua on "tips for convincing your parents to get a dog." Emily's kids are dying for a dog and are trying everything they can think of to convince Emily and Russell. Samantha looked up a website on how to talk your parents into buying a dog, checked out dog books from the library, and the kids held a meeting the other night. They explained all the pros about having a dog and opened it up for Emily and Russell to ask questions. They had done their homework! For every con they had the kids had an answer for it. Each of the kids wore a pin they had made that said, "Dog lover" and then their name. At the end of the meeting the parents were promised that if they agreed to let them have a dog they too could have a pin. So cute! We're rooting for you kids!!

My uncles live next

door to each other,

so the adults stayed

and talked around the

horses, and the

kids played on the

new playground at
Paul's.

She looks a little

warm.

She kept climbing up all by herself.

She's getting so big!

I love this picture. I took it to show all the

kids climbing up the ladder together. It

wasn't until I got home that I saw Caleb

and Sabrina's goofy expressions.
