BFF'S

We have all decided it is hard to live in a place where people are only here for a limited time.

My kids have had a hard summer.

Mostly Caleb. He has almost decide to just not make any friends anymore cause they just end up moving away. Sad thing is the next summer it could be us!

We lost our favorite nieghbors in June- they moved to Idaho Falls to work at the Site. We loved doing things with them. And we both would watch each other kids at the spur of the moment, if needed. It is hard to lose good friends.

And it continues.

We will be losing another very Awesome family on Tuesday.

Even Izzy is losing her friend that she has had during the whole pregnancy. Her and little Lucy are only two days apart! See how cute they are together!
This is Amber and Lucy, and Me and Izzy.

We love playdates!

Hailey, Gwen, and Chloe.
Edwin, Jack, and Caleb. the little boys just admire Caleb and want to be just like him!

Our kids and thier kids love getting together. It has been so nice to trade of babysitting from one week to the next for us to go out. I will always feel grateful for them for having our kids spend the night at thier house when Izzy was born.

We only have a few more days but we are really gong to make them count. Tomorrow we are planning on letting the kids play in the pool.

We Love You~ Sayre Family!!

July 24 2011

Edwin turned TWO!!!

He chose to have strawberry shortcakes for his "birthday cake" it was delicious!

The other kids had lots of fun finding presents for him, we let them go to the dollar store and find something. They picked a sprinkler (so they can all run throught it and cool of on hot days), a magantic writing board, nightlight, and a water bottle with a straw that runs all around the outside.

Rob and I decided that Edwin needed a trike. So we found one that is a radio flyer brand. He loves it.

He was so happy to open presents. He was pretty funny though too cause he would rip off a piece of paper and then would run to the garbage can in the other room. He was so concerned about have garbage on the floor, it had to be cleaned up right then.

I think he had a great day! I know we all did!

The lighting is not great but it is still fun!

Quickie

Grandma got a surprise visit on Saturday from the newest member of the family.

Over the past two week we had Rob's sister Tami visit us. We took her home over the weekend and got to show the baby off to my family and Rob's family.

It was a very Quick trip but I think it was totally worth it. We all loved being able to see everyone. We also got to see a few family members that are moving over the next month. Dusty and Morgan are moving this week to Provo. Sara and Will will be moving next month to Odessa Texes! Will just got a great job offer down there.

We are excited for everyones new adventures.

We are so happy that we got to visit with everyone before they move away. Hopefully it won't be terrible long before we see each other again.

what are Thumbs for?

I might accept this kind of thumb sucking. What do you think?

Sorry it is a little blury.

a little crafty once in awhile

Look what I made today!

I finally got a few minutes to make this today. I have been meaning to do it for sometime now but just couldn't find the time. true I took time from my nap to make it so I will be extra tried later but seriously do I need that extra five minutes of rest?

the grils love it becasue now they can see all the fun little flowers they have the option of wearing and it looks super cute in the bathroom.

I'm happy with it! Now that I can see all the clippees I didn't know we had so many. Wow!

Amazing BIG Brother

And it shows here!

Caleb loves being the biggest, and most of the time he is a great example for the other kids to follow. Sure he can be bossy and mean at times but wheat big brother isn't?

Izabelle sure seems to love him, can you tell by the look on her face?

He loves to help out. He jumps at the chance to feed her and hold her.

Diaper changing will come soon.
