Exchange students

The girls loved Kensley
We got two exchange students for a weekend. They are the two boys on the left. We took them to OMSI and Portland Saturday Market and then out for Sushi.
This was part of the Einstein exhibit



This guy wasAwesome! He would stand there like a statue and then pull out 3 clear balls like off the Labrynth and he would roll them aroundhis fingers and body, way better then David Bowie could ever do



Cassidy had a birthday

Kensley likes to play dress up with her dolls
My friend Danni visited with her kids for a very short while. This, unfortunately, was the only picture I got of her cute little girl.

Cassidy turned 9! She wanted a soccer party, which was easy to do cause I had soccer decorations left over from all the spring soccer parties. We decided that when our girls turn 9 they can have their first sleep over so that's what we did. The girls ahd a kickin' good time:)

LOST!!!

We are a little obsessed with LOST at in our family, so I decided to make a LOST Cake for the series finale. I pulled in some help from Kevin, Alyssa, and a couple of friends. We spent hours on this. Don't over look the detail! See if you can tell who's who. Anyone who's a fan can appreciate it so HAVE FUN!!

Yes, We're still alive in the Blogging world...BAreLY!

Kylie LOVES to do hair. I don't know how she convinces Kensley to let her do half the things she does to her hair. I'm surprised she has enough hair to hold these curlers:) Too bad we didn't get a good after picture.
Very late, but here are my three girls on their first day of school. (of course Kensley didn't want to be left out so we added her for the photo.)

A Little Bit Emotional....Okay... Way Emotional!!

I thought I was feeling overwhelmed 2 weeks ago. Now I know what overwhelmed REALLY feels like. Chris was just called as BISHOP. That's right, you read it correctly, Bishop. I have been going through so many emotions lately, I can't seem to stop crying. He is an amazing man. His love for people is unbelievable. (to be continued)

(continuation)
I STARTED this post right after Chris was set apart as Bishop. However, I have not been able to complete it because I couldn't stop crying. Today I feel I'll have a somewhat easier time expressing my feelings. It's amazing to me how the Lord works. I literally was getting to a point in my life when I was actually questioning whether or not the Lord new what I could handle and if he really knew me at all. This was during the very few short months that Chris was on High Council. I was at my breaking point. 2 weeks later, my husband is called as Bishop. REALLY? But ya' know what? I know that he will be busier and I know that it will be difficult. And even through these feelings of being overwhelmed, I KNOW that my Heavenly Father knows ME. And that he knows what I need. Crazy as it sounds, for some reason, I know that I need this. I don't know why, I just feel a different sense of love from God. I can't even explain it. The things I have been going through lately, that I couldn't even explain if I wanted to, but so many things have changed for me personally since this call to Bishop and I'm thankful for it.

Chris you are incredible. You will be amazing, as you already are. I LOVE YOU!!
