Eight is Great!

We are so blessed to have this happy girl be a part of our family. She is so excited to be baptized! And we are excited to see our friends and family at the baptism. We are lucky to have family so close that will be able to support her at this time.

Brandon designed these two great invites. They both show off Lauren's cute (and toothless!) face. I can't decide which one I like better.

Happy Birthday to my Five-Year-Old

Happy Birthday to Elle. She turns five years old today! What a handful she is!! We love her very much (even though she snuck into my closet and found some unwrapped gifts)!

Kissable Cheeks

Oh, I love him so much.

Elle

We had Kindergarten Orientation for Miss Elle today. She is getting older! Her 5th birthday is in just a couple of weeks.

Lauren is Creating Worlds

Today at school I made a Globe. I got Play Dough and made a Yellow ball and then got some red dough and made it flat. I put the flat piece of red dough around the yellow ball. And then I got some orange dough and made it flat. I put the flat piece of orange dough around the red and yellow ball. Then I got some blue play dough and flattened it out very thin like a piece of paper. Then I put it around the orange, red, and yellow ball. Then I got some green play dough. I made it into shapes of continents, and put them on the blue to look like Earth.

The Yellow is the Inner Core of the Earth. The Red is the Outer Core. The Orange is the Mantle. The Blue is the crust and oceans. The Green is the land.

It was fun, so I came home and made another one. Science is fun!
