Obsessed

David has realized that I can get a little obsessed over certain things. Ok, maybe A LOT obsessed. Of course it has been Twilight over the past year, and I am eagerly awaiting Breaking Dawn's release on Aug. 2. But this week it has been the musical, Wicked. I read the book last week and thought it was pretty good, but the musical seems amazing. I got the music and it has been playing constantly in our house this week. I think David thinks I am crazy or something. I guess when I find something I like, I go a little overboard. Oh, well. It doesn't help that the kids feed into my obsession as well. The girls already knew the song "Popular" from the musical and play it constantly now. I guess they share my love of musicals. I have fun memories of dancing in the kitchen with the kids to Phantom of the Opera, HairSpray, and High School Musical, of course. I can't wait to see Wicked, it comes to Salt Lake next year on tour.

This is the girls favorite, Popular. Enjoy!

Here is one of my favorites, Defying Gravity.

Family Reunion. . Bear Lake

So Cute. . . .

BUT SO DIFFICULT, AND SO TWO!

When do these "TERRIBLE" twos end? She turns three in about a month, but I think the "twos" are going to linger on. Mia has been absolutlely driving me insane lately. CRYING, SCREAMING, HITTING, RUNNING AWAY (she sneaks out of the house and I don't know where she goes), SAYING "NO" ALL THE TIME, NOT GOING TO BED, NOT POTTY TRAINED, DOESN'T LIKE OTHER PEOPLE. . . .should I go on?

I am going insane. I love this little girl, but I am getting worn out.

July 4th Activities

It's Great to be Eight!

Since Kennedy had her 8th birthday last month, she was able to be baptized on the fifth of this month. It was a nice, quiet, baptism. She was very excited about it.

Happy # 11, Luke

Luke turned 11 today. Do I really have an 11 year old? wow. Feels like yesterday we were bringing home our new baby boy to our little basement apartment in Provo. Time flies. I love this kid. He is fun to be around, and a great brother. I couldn't ask for a better son. He knows what is right and wrong, and chooses wisely. He is a great example, and has a great spirit. Have a great day, you deserve it, Luke!
