Happy 4 year-old to you

This year has been sooooo fun. You are a great cuddly kid. It is amazing how excited you can get about playing with friends and cousins. You still suck your fingers, but we will see how long you as a big girl can go without it. You do disagree with me quite a bit. It is not easy to convince you of something you don't agree with. However you are always capable of accomplishing a goal. It is always great fun to play with big brothers. Little brother is fun to push around too. You are a great mom mimic. Sometimes brothers don't appreciate your little echo, and then sometimes all they hear is you and not me. Your hair has gotten so long, Thank you for letting me brush it and make it so cute.You love princessess and everything pink. You are a great sister and a wonderful daughter. Love you and happy birthday!!

Here you go sis! This was a card that Keaton drew for his cousin Tate's baptisim. (This was the 6th picture in the 6th file on my computer). I tag Kelly, Lisa, Sara, Alison Denise and Carlie!

EGG!

Can you see it in there? It gives a whole new meaning to checking on the chickens.

The brothers promised Nellie could get the first egg. Keaton was nice enough to venture in and get it for her.

Three very happy kids!

Breakfast time!!

Cello

My boy has completed a year of cello thru the public schools. This might mean alot or not so much (depends on your view). He did great in his last concert. He was lucky enough to get the solo. I am so proud of my little musician! I hope to have him continue with the instrument. I think we'll have to sweet talk Aunt Bonnie. He

My favorite flower

...is the tulip. I think that they are so pretty. In Utah they were blooming everywhere. It just gives you a different feeling seeing them sprouted from the groud rather than cut and in a vase.

Papa Harris is 90

We went up to Utah the last weekend in April for Justins Grandpa's 90th birthday. He was so happy to see all that came. There were lots of stories and fun second cousins to play with. I sure do enjoy the company of the Harris family.

Not often do I get sentimental, especially with family. I don't often think very deeply on the meaning and direction of life. This being said, I was so happy to hear Keaton, after he knelt by Papa, ask to hear some atories. I think that my children understand a little better than I do about the time spent with family is never wasted.

We're Jammin'

Strawberries have been silly cheap at the Souperstition Ranch Market (Main east of Greenfield). So what else is there to do but make jam for your year supply($.80 a pint). One batch I did with my sister and mother, the second was with wonderful women in my ward, the third batch was with Denise. I sure enjoy doing things with family. The kids get to play, we get to chat, and this time we got enough of a domestic feeling to last us until the tomato plant are full.
A side note on strawberry jam...Justin only likes strawberry jam. One time at the cannery I thought I would bring home lots of flavors, you know, for the variety. No Way. As soon as the strawberry was gone he made it a point to go to the store and get more. I have made plenty. We should be good until the next strawberry harvest. 9 quarts plus some smaller half pints to share with others. Wait this might not be enough. I will probably check to see if the strawberries are still good.
