Sariah

I realized I don't have many pictures

of Sariah on here. She turned 2 in April and

she loves the camera. She is also almost

completely potty trained, and she trained herself!

Someone left a Jello pudding cup in the garbage

can and Sariah got it out this was the end result

she is crying because I took it away from her.

These socks were very stretchy so Sariah liked to chew

on themand then pull them off with her teeth.

This photo is more recent we took it last week
how funny she fell asleep like this.

Sariah felt left out with not having a back pack

so we let her borrow Jacob's for a few minutes.

Sariah always is plite and says thank you when

She gets something, even food I give her for dinner.

I am sad she is my last but I think God knew I

could not handle any more kids.

Before and After

Here are the before and after of the girls hair

Rebecca before her perm

Rebecca after her perm--she loves it

Mitzy before her perm

Mitzy after her perm--she loves it too

They said that it is stinky when they do a perm

but they love their hair so it was all worth it.

Helping Daddy

Bruce was to take this engine apart in this car and

see if it was good or bad. The kids wanted to help

so he put a wrench in their hand and they weren't

quite strong enough to undo the bolts so Daddy

helped out. Jacob kept putting the bolts back in.

The engine was ruined--Bruce was hoping it was

because he would have had to fix it and he didn't

want to. Unsure if you can tell but the kids were

actually taking bolts out of the front of the car

not the engine--didn't matter because the car

went to the junk yard anyway.

Looking Back

Holy crap was I large--the smile is really fake--pregnancy

was really miserable for me. The other person in the picture

is my sister Denise this was taken 1 month before

our babies were born in March of 2007

I will certainly not miss pregnancy at all

but there is one thing I will miss
Babies--The one on the left is Rachael-Denise's baby
The one on the right is Sariah or "Riah". So since I
cannot have anymore babies--my sisters- hint, hint
need to get busy and have some so I can love on them.

LITTLE MISSIONARY

Jacob went on a Mission to Guatemala.

The primary did a cute activity for kids to

be missionaries for a day.

He is holding a lizard because he

said there were lizards there

so he found a toy lizard and

held it while I took the picture.

There's GOLD in them thar hills!

We went to the Golden Spike coming home from

Idaho. Jacob had tons of fun and he got a large

poster of trains, also a train shirt.

They do a re-inactment of what happened

the trains there were really neat.

This train runs on wood

This one runs on coal

Here is both of them

and in between is the Golden Spike

LITTLE BOYS

Little boys can be great

Little boys can be fun

Little boys their picture take

When mom is saying "I'm done".

This incident happened at my sisters house

They got into the jello in her pantry- it was not

a pretty sight, they look like they were dipped in flour!

Here are just a few pictures of Jacob

with the marker!

This is about the 15th or 20th time I had

to clean marker off of him.

He said his head hurt and went and

got a bandaid and put on it. Then

he said okay mom that feel much better.

I always had to remind Jacobs dad to close

the doors to the bathroom--

One day Jacob went missing and where did he go

yep straight shot into the bathroom--I told his father

he had to clean him up since he left the door

open--the camera was nearby and Bruce was

laughing so hard he couldn't resist taking a picture.

Since daddy had to clean him up he never did

leave the bathroom door open ever again.

Childrens Museum

If you ever get a chance to go to the

Childrens Museum this is a must

There are tons of things for the

kids to do.

Sariah climbed on and rode a big swan.

They had a little hut the girls climbed in

This was a water fountain the

kids got to play in

There is a room there

that the kids can pretend

to be on the news

They had a theater room

where you could dress up in

animal clothes

last they played

with connecting toys.

We went to the Zoo and saw lots of animals

Jacob was getting them confused and the

Rhino was really funny he thought

it was a pig with horns. We laughed-what

a silly boy.

This Giraffe was eating and the kids

thought that it's tongue was soooo long.

We rode the train and of course

Jacob thought that was the neatest

thing in the world.

Becca almost got her head bit off by an alligator!

Just kidding this is a play area for kids.

Sariah rode on a ginormous caterpillar.

Becca kicked a turtle out of it's shell

and used it as shade-it was kind of hot.

Mitzy sat in a snakes mouth

and overall the zoo was great.

Over the next few days I will be posting things we

have done this Summer. We had so much fun

this year. Here are pictures of us at the

Main Street Splash Pad in St. George.

They have a river running by it

that they let you play in.

GRANDPA BAUMAN

Since I am always talking about Bruce's Grandpa in Idaho

here are a few pictures of him. His name is Frank Bauman

He is a very kind person. And is over six feet tall.

His heart is as big as he is and I think grows bigger each day.

He is a great example to Bruce and I, and

someday we hope to be like him.

He is always thinking of everyone and rarely thinks of himself.

In honor of his birthday August 12 we dedicate this page to him.


He turned 86 this year and still has it all together
Since Bruce was a baby he has always called him
Papa and the name stuck. We love you Papa!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

One of our Vacation spots on our vacation to Idaho this summer was a stop to go through the Oquirrh mountain temple with our kids. They thought it was beautiful. After you walk through the temple they take you to a reception area with drinks and cookies. They had a piano in there and it played by itself. Jacob was so cute his exact word were these " Mommy an angel came out of the temple and is playing the piano". Maybe he could see something we couldn't--I really think he could have seen an angel because neither I nor Bruce told him that there were angels in the temple.
