A few random pics

Ethan's favorite trick is rolling over.  He loves it!

Could this metal toy possibly feel good in your mouth?  I guess it felt good to Ethan who just got his first 2 bottom teeth!  He is right on track with the rest of my kiddos because he got 2 teeth at 5 months.

Brady can make Ethan laugh harder than anyone right now.

One of my friends from high school (Phil VanDijk) and his family came to visit us and we had an FHE together.

Phil, Katie, Nate, Savannah, Jack and Trey

I literally have to carry Ethan around all day or he squawks----LOUD!  I think my left bicep is more buff than it has EVER been.  My right arm (and body) is still floppy, but my upper left arm looks awesome.  :)

Buddies

Ethan loves his stroller.

This is Anthony's golf instructor (Coach Abegellen).  He makes it so fun!

Anthony was the star student of the week and he was supposed to bring in his favorite treat to his 5th grade class.  Anthony loves our homemade sugar cookies so we made "Y" golf balls and footballs on the Friday before THE game.  In case you are wondering, Morgan isn't very strict about homemade treats at school.  :)

We made a golf poster for Anthony for the student of the week.

I think Cate's favorite part of soccer is halftime/treat time.  She also enjoys the snacks at the end of the game.

Grandma Carnesecca and Ethan.

A "watch them grow" picture.  Ethan is 5 months in this picture.  Carly and Grace were due after Ethan, but they were born before him.  I think they all were heavenly buddies.

Morgan Memories

Love the legs.

This is what heaven looks like to me.

Cate decided to play soccer this year.  The girls named their team "The Super Winners."  Love it.

I took this picture and I noticed that Ethan was wearing his "I'm the Little Brother" shirt.  Again, love it.

Cate has afternoon Kindergarten, but she walks Brynn and Anthony out to the bus stop every morning.  Does Cate love school?  I will answer that with a resounding YES!!!!

Ethan loves, loves, loves to get in the steam shower with me.

A hug at the bus stop.

We had an enrichment night at my house and decided to make healthy smoothies and healthy snacks (I am the Relief Society Meeting Coordinator.  A.K.A. The Enrichment Leader).  This is my friend and neighbor, Lauralee Miles.  She is the healthiest eater I have EVER met in my life.

My cute, little Relief Society Presidency that I work with.  They are so great.

Happy Birthday Grandma Carnesecca!!!!

It was Grandma Carnesecca's milestone birthday, so her kids planned a special dinner for her at The Lion House.  We had a lovely turkey dinner.  Tara pulled out all the stops and organized games for us to play.  She had dry erase boards at every seat and we were asked questions about Grandma.  If we answered it right, we received a kiss (Hershey's).

The grandkids (we were missing Morgan and Walker.  Carly and Grace were sleeping).

The Three Amigos/Siblings:  Chad, Tara and Robert.

Holland made me laugh so hard.  She rated the food at dinner. 

I thought it would be fitting for Chad to write something about his mother on her special day.  This is from Chad:  Dear Mom, thanks for always being an inspiration to me and all around you.  I have learned a lot by watching you serve others around you.  You were always the first to take dinner to someone in need or help someone who might be struggling.  You also taught me about the value of hard work and determination.  I really haven't met anyone who can outwork you.  You taught us that work can and should be enjoyable.  You also taught us how to have fun.  Our famous trips to Disneyland will never be forgotten. One of the great lessons you taught me was make due with what you have and be thankful.  Life has thrown you some curve balls but you have always kept a positive attitude and pressed forward.  Thanks for being a great Mother and a legendary Grandma.  You are deeply loved and appreciated.   CC
