Sunday six and birthday smiles

It has been a busy and fun week for us..... just crammed full of smiles.
#1 Today is my baby girl's birthday.

Erin may be a wonderful wife and a mother, but she will always be
my precious baby girl. We love you dear.... more than words can say.
Have a great day. I wish we were there with you.

...
#2 Cal is walking and loving it.

Doesn't this picture make you smile.
#3 We kept Mindy's kids last week while Mindy and Ernie took a little holiday.

#4. We started out our week with a trip to Knott's Berry Farm.
The weather was mild and we had a great day there.

In fact we were jumping for joy.
...
#5. The lines were short

and we could go on the roller coasters as many times as we wanted to.

Now wouldn't that make you smile???

Our only break from the rides was our stop for dinner
at the Old West Cafe where we all shared the big family bowl of soup
and family sized nachos. We do this every time we go to Knotts.
What a fun tradition.
...
The other days we spent hours in the pool, playing games, watching videos and
having fun.
When Lynell's family visit us from Utah we have a tradition
of having homemade ice cream and cinnamon toast for breakfast
on their last morning here with us.
E.J., Claire and Austin thought they should get the same treats
for breakfast on their last morning at Grammy and Grampy's house....
...so we did.
Smile...smile...smile
...
#6. Our Young Women at church make me smile.

These 5 girls shown with our YW president are our YCLs...
Our Youth Camp Leaders.
They have put in hours of work getting everything ready
for all of our girls to go to church camp this coming week.
I am thankful for these sweet girls and their adult leaders.
They make me smile.
...
These are my smiles for this week.
What are you smiling about?
I hope you have a great week.
I can't wait for Marie to get home and tell us about her trip.
Hugs, Lura

I'm looking forward to Marie's return too. Isn't it strange without her. She's going to be back in uK next weekend but - well, I suppose she'll need a LITTLE time to come back down to earth!

Your family take the handsomest photos, you know.

love & hugs,
Angie, xxxx
