My white baby...

I have 3 tan children.  They are even tanner right now because they have been swimming so much.  Then, there is Harley.  To demonstrate, I've attached a picture of Harley and her Nana.  This is James' mom, Martina.  Can you believe how white Harley is?  I'm not the only white one any more!



Here is a picture of Harley the bathing beauty, you can see her white lady skin next to mine...



And here she is at the Memorial Day Parade, look at that hair color and her eyes.  I don't know if her coloring will stay this way, but for now I'm enjoying my mini-me.

Sophie and the camera

Sophie is a photographer.  She frequently steals my camera, takes pictures then returns it so I don't know until I go to download the 35 pictures I had taken and suddenly it's dumping 87 masterpieces into my computer.  So enjoy some of my favorites.

Her sister's bib...



Her sister's head...




A painting she did, oh and her finger..




Her playhouse, and her finger....




Her mouth....




Her face...

Gila Valley Temple

On May 15th my parents, my nephew, my girls and I went to the Gila Valley Temple Tour.  James and Joey stayed behind because Joey had a Beauty and the Beast performance.  We left Saturday afternoon, since our tour was at 745pm.  We got on the road, this was Harley's longest car ride.

The Temple was beautiful.  Absolutely gorgeous!  I loved that our tour group was comprised of both members and non-members.  I think it's so neat that anyone can tour the Temple before it is dedicated and that they do!  I felt very blessed to be part of something so special.

Unfortunately I didn't get a pretty picture in front of the Temple, but that's okay...here's an attempt, notice Sophie crawling?




Afterwards we had cookies at the church building next door.  They did a great job decorating the Cultural Hall.


We stayed at a hotel that night.  My kids were in heaven they love hotels!




After breakfast the next morning we drove home only stopping to get this great picture.
