Saige has been our neighbor for years. She's 7 years old but has a seizure disorder and the mentality of a two year old. We LOVE saige! She brightens up a room just by being in it. It's funny that we've lived by each other twice now; in our last house we were next door neighbors for a few years. Now we aren't next door neighbors but we live one street over. I miss her walking into our house, unannounced, and just wandering around, seeing what people were up to. We're just a little too far for that now. But we get to have her sit with us at church every other week and we babysit her on ocassion. We're lucky to know her and her family.
Scott turned 37! We celebrated with a pizookie (giant cookie and icecream) and I even made red meat in their dinner!
This is what I call a labor of love. I only make this meat because I love Scott and it's his birthday :).
The 4 of us were able to go to the temple together one day which was nice.
This poor kindergarten girl is sometimes exhausted when she gets home. Partly because she has to wake up around 630 to be on time, and I'm sure she works hard when she's there as well.
I took this picture after the kids were off to school with Scott (he drives them in the morning on his way to work, which is very nice). As you can see, the room was not tidied or the bed made, but he DID read his scriptures and that's something we've been trying to make into a routine each morning for the children and so it was still a win! One day we'll get both bedroom cleaned and scriptures read. One step at a time :).
