Saber

We really went through a lot the month before we came to Brazil. One of the hardest things we did was get rid of our dog of 7 years Saber. He was a good dog and a great escape artist. He loved the kids and the kids loved him. I loved it when we would go outside to play with him and little Mikey would crouch down under his head to let him off the chain. Saber would sit there patiently until he was unhooked. He would get on the tramp with the kiddos when they would jump. We finally got to the point the kids could take him on a walk instead of him taking us on the walk. He was a good dog.

We are so proud of you J. You are such a good example to your brothers. Not only in getting baptized but just by being the person that you are. You are so thoughtful. Your are strong willed and always want to try and do what is right. I love you so much and I am grateful for all that you do for me and our family. I love the way that you love life and want to experience

so many things. I love the way you keep trying something until you learn how to do it. You are such a good sister and are such a good friend to others. Love you always.

Happy 8th Birthday

For J 8th birthday party we took her and some friends to get there hair and nails done. We came home and had some cake and they played a while. We had a little mishap with the cake. She wanted Edward's face (from twilight) on her cake. (I know I know she is only 8) Anyway I put it on and ended up starting him on fire. Pretty funny.

Baby Hair

Little R. Was born with the craziest hair. He had this little patch on the crown of his head. It was 5" long before I could make myself cut it.
