We have been enjoying our Saturday after a busy week.
Journee had new beginnings on Wednesday night.
She got recognized as a new Beehive. This is a rose she received that evening. 
After we got home we watched the moon and the eclipse. We even looked through the telescope and got to see Saturn and its rings. The kids were pretty excited they could tell what it was and see some color on the rings.
Thursday, Vicki and I took our littlest ones and went to Cody to get some shopping done. I am always amazed at how long it takes to get out of Wal-Mart, but I guess 3 carts of groceries later has something to do with it. I got a few hats and gloves for the kids since all that stuff is on clearance. Allie really took to the hat she got and has been wearing it almost non-stop since. It has a fun brim on it. She does look cute in it. She wanted her Chinese lantern in the picture with her, so that is what is behind her head.
We have been thrilled with the nice weather and Gerry has got to finally start putting quite a bit of time in on the house. I even got the chance to help a little yesterday. I use the word help loosely but I was glad Vicki could watch the kids and I got the opportunity. I will get new pictures soon. Gerry is busy there again today.
Kyle had his friend Kelly over this morning. After their share of the Wii I sent them out to play in the sun. After he left, Kyle and Karlee stayed out. Curious what had kept their attention all day I went to have a look. They were tunneling through some piles of dirt.
Maggie even got in on the action and took a nap in one of the many holes.
I put a beef brisket in the crock pot this morning and made hamburger buns and Journee made oatmeal raisin cookies, so we have had nice smells in the house all day. Maybe that is why Talon is so happy today. Actually, I think it is just because he is finally starting to feel better. After 6 days of fevers and a double ear infection and sore throat he had the right to be a little crabby.
Such serious concentration.
Journee loves music and always has music blaring from somewhere in the house. One of her favorite past times is guitar hero. She is getting pretty good and is able to pass songs on hard and even one or two on expert.
Today is also my nieces birthday. I was fortunate to be there when she was born 1 year ago.
