Jennifer in her curlers. I will have to take a picture of the end result, it's really cute!!




The kids were messing with the camera one night and took these next pics of me and Jess.

Jess doesn't look too happy about getting his pic taken.

Temple pics

After feeding the ducks, we went to get pics of the temple for the kids to have in their room, as was suggested by President Monson in the last Conference. We thought it would be fun for the kids to be in the pic too! I think they turned out really good!! We framed them and gave them for Easter

Feeding the ducks

We went to IF one Sunday after church with the Rickabaughs' to feed the ducks and take the kids' pics by the temple. There were lots of people there feeding them too, but there were lots of ducks waiting to be fed. They were not shy. They would come right up to the kids especially and eat out of their hands.

They especially liked Camille, maybe because she is about their size. We would give her a piece of bread and she would barely have time to break off a piece before they would come up to her. The first time it scared her and she threw the piece and the bird went after it and left her alone. This bird got her before she even had a chance to break off a piece and took the whole thing!!



Landon was too scared to let the ducks get too close, so he was sad that he didn't get a picture feeding the ducks. So, on our way home we pulled over and told him to go feed the fake duck and we would take a pic. He thought we were stupid, but did it anyway.



Then the other kids wanted their pics with the fake ducks and we thought this pic looked like the duck was eating Cordell's ear.

Our "little" Spring Break getaway.

We took a mini vacay to Salt Lake during Spring Break. We went to the Gateway Discovery Center, Clark Planetarium, Build a Bear, IKEA(our first time there), Cabelas, and then went to stay at Jesse's grandma's house in Provo. We stayed in Tremonton on the way there and back. It was nice to get away for the weekend. IKEA was HUGE, I've never seen anything like it before, but I loved it! The kids loved the Discovery Center and the Planetarium, and they all loved getting their own Build a Bear.

I took lots of pics at the Gateway, but unfortunately forgot after that, though I did get pics of the build a bears at Easter time, so they will be making an appearance on the blog shortly :)

Jennifer's 7th Birthday

Jennifer had a full day on her birthday and I only took pics of about half of it. It started out by opening a present from Grandma and Grandpa Barrus. She got it in the mail on Friday, but her dad said she had to wait until her birthday (the next day) to open it, and the waiting about killed her. She got a cute shirt, socks, bracelets, and some fruit snacks.

The shirt and bracelets from Grandma




Then 6 of her 7 girl cousins came over for a party, so including her and Camille that made 8 girls and Cordell (Landon went to a friend's house to play, which was a lifesaver). We had lunch and then played Minute to Win it games. The kids had a great time, but I forgot to take a pic until the last person was playing the last game. So, here is Shyanne playing the cup stacking game.



Then she opened the presents from her cousins and ate cupcakes. Then the kids just played. The Christensens' gave her a Tangled doll, which she loves and brushes her hair out every day to keep it pretty!! The Rickabaughs' gave her a new skirt and hair bows, which she wears all the time now!!





After all the cousins left, Jennifer picked to go swimming at the pool here in Blackfoot and out to dinner at our favorite burger joint, Rupe's (I LOVE their fries and their Malibu chicken burger, yummy, if you ever come to Blackfoot, you have to try it!!).

When we got home, it was time for the spanking machine.



Then she opened her presents from the family.



She got a jewelry box, a new outfit, and a Just Dance Wii game. So, of course we had to try out the new game even though we were exhausted from the busy day and full from the yummy food!! We laughed so hard watching the kids play it. Some day when I get a new video camera I will post video of it!

Sunday Grandpa and Grandma Fuhriman came over to bring a present, so we made a cake. They gave her a butterfly necklace that says CTR (She loves it and wears it all the time) and more bracelets. She has a pretty full jewelry box now!

This picture of Cordell cracks me up! And you can kinda see the skirt that Tia made her.



So, continuing with my tradition, the 7 things I like best about Jennifer!

1. She tells me every day that I am her favorite person in the world.
2. She is a good big sister to Camille and reads to her every night before bed.
3. She is really smart and gets almost 100% on everything in school.
4. She is our #1 helper and peacemaker.
5. She has a strong desire to do what is right.
6. She is a friend to everyone and never leaves anyone out.
7. She is the sweetest girl I know!!

What happens when...

...the 2 year old sister wants her older sister to paint her nails but the older sister doesn't want to??

The 2 year old gets the nail polish and paints her own nails!!
And this is the result! She was pretty proud!! She sat on the couch and painted them on her lap, and suprisingly enough only got a little bit of polish on her pants and none on the couch!!
